ABSTRACT:
An eating utensil in the nature of an improved chop stick system includes a first elongate member having a ratio of length to average cross-section in the range of about 20:1 to about 60:1. The utensil also includes a second elongate member of substantially like geometry to the first member. The eating utensil further includes a spring like element for providing an outward angular bias, the element including two opposing arms, one of each of the arms secured to opposing lateral surfaces of the first and second members, the lateral surfaces being near respective opposing ends of each of the elongate members. The eating utensil yet further includes a guide element for limiting the angular extent in plane of travel of one of the members relative to the other member.
