ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a chopstick holder comprising a unitary interrupted circular ring of resilient material having a pair of slots or openings in the side wall dimensioned to receive chopsticks. The openings are chordlike and adapted to receive chopsticks and hold them by friction against the side walls of the openings. The openings are angled whereby chopsticks inserted to the full depth of the opening are angled for natural grasping and use. Being of a single simple ring shape, the chopstick holders are easily fabricated and easily washable. Alternately, the chopstick holders are sufficiently low in cost that they may be discarded after a single use. Sufficient room is provided on the top for an advertising message.
