Patent ID: 7628432

Claim:
An eating utensil comprising: a handle having two members within a first segment separated by an opening and extending longitudinally from a base portion, said two members diverge along a second segment wherein said opening increases from a narrow space to a wider space, wherein a first member opens into a first spoon portion having a first interior edge, and a second member opens into a second spoon portion having a second interior edge, such that a closing of said two members mates said first interior edge and second interior edge for creating a spoon aspect and wherein said first spoon portion leads to a first tine and said second spoon portion leads to a second tine for providing a fork aspect when said two members are at least partially open and together provide a single prong aspect when said two members are closed; and wherein said first interior edge has a first winding contour followed by a straight contour, and said second interior edge has a second winding contour followed by a straight contour, said second winding contour is complementary to said first winding contour such that a closing of said two members conjoins said first interior edge and second interior edge for creating said spoon aspect.
