Generally, when people eat instant noodles fast food, they need to bring their own tableware such as forks and chopsticks. Not necessarily hygienic or convenient. At present, there is no disposable tableware that is sold together with the food in the package of instant noodles and fast food on the market.
The general requirements for disposable tableware sold with packaging should be small size, low cost, easy to use, safe and hygienic, etc. Due to the limitation of the packaging volume, when the length and thickness of the chopsticks are reduced to a certain extent, the practicality is reduced and it is inconvenient to use. The forks made of metal, plastic and other materials do not meet the requirements due to low friction and inconvenience and cost. Because bamboo and wood materials have the characteristics of low cost and high friction, flat bamboo and wood forks can basically meet the above requirements.
The well-known flat forks in the past, due to the requirement of one of the purposes of use-to fork into the food and fork or stir up the food by friction, the tips of the forks are tapered or round, and the tines of the forks are tapered or round. The thickness is gradually reduced to keep the tooth tip area small, so that it can easily fork into the food. In addition, due to various other reasons, other parts of the fork body have been processed to varying degrees. When bamboo and wood materials are used to manufacture such flat forks, it is necessary to further process the forks after the processing of the overall shape is completed. In addition, when the thickness of the fork body is reduced to a certain degree (such as about 0.15 cm), if the thickness of the tooth tip continues to decrease, the strength will be affected and cause problems in use. In view of the foregoing, there is a need for a disposable fork specially designed for eating instant noodles and fast food, so that it can not only meet the requirements of small size, ease of use, safety and sanitation, but also simplify production and reduce costs.
