Abstract:
A cutlery base with built-in illumination equipment; the said structure is comprised of:A cutlery base, the said cutlery base has insertion slots formed in one surface to provide for the ensheathing of cutlery, with a translucence hole formed in the surface opposite from the surface with the said insertion slots and, furthermore, the said cutlery base has an opening formed in at least one of its lateral surfaces and the said opening, a space in the said cutlery base, and the said translucence hole are contiguous, A translucent component inserted into the said opening of the said cutlery base, A footing that is stacked on the surface opposite to that of the said cutlery base insertion slots, the said footing has installed at its center section an illuminant connected to a power source and, furthermore, the said footing has covering the contact surfaces between itself and the said cutlery base a translucent waterproof hood that not only prevents the entry of water and air from the outside into the said footing, but also allows the light rays emitted by the said illuminant inside the footing to penetrate the said translucent waterproof hood and fully project outward, Given the said structural components, during utilization the light rays emitted by the said illuminant inside the said footing penetrate the said translucent waterproof hood and are projected into the said cutlery base and then are projected outward through the said translucent component of the said cutlery base; as such, not only does the present invention function as guiding night lamp, it also enables reaching a correct position to prevent persons entering the kitchen during darkness from contacting the said cutlery in the said cutlery base and thereby precludes unnecessary danger.
