摘要

The invention relates to a dispenser for providing eating utensils (10), which are designed as single-piece gripping elements for picking up food, in particular finger food, and have a three-dimensionally shaped sheet structure having an outside to face the food to be picked up and a finger contact side opposite of said outside and which comprise at least three gripping sections (12-1, 12-2, 12-3, 12-4), which can be accessed from the finger contact side, are shaped as finger protection depressions for accommodating fingers of a user's hand and extend in a pointed manner toward the inside. Said gripping sections are delimited by in particular triangular wall sections (111, 222) having interposed folding lines (18), wherein the gripping sections can be moved in an articulated manner toward and away from each other by means of at least some of the folding lines so as to perform gripping movements. The dispenser comprises at least one stack (20) formed of the eating utensils, wherein in said stack the outsides of the eating utensils (10) are located opposite of the finger contact sides of directly adjoining eating utensils such that, in the stack, the finger contact side of the respective outer eating utensil (10a) faces toward the outside, wherein the dispenser can be set up such that the eating utensil (10a) located on the outside in the stack (20) can be pulled off the stack (20) by a user using the finger engagement in the corresponding gripping sections that is already suitable for the proper use of the eating utensil.
