Title: Convertible household utensil assembly

Abstract: A dual-purpose, convertible household utensil assembly which in one mode operates as two separate implements for mixing a salad, and in the other mode acts as tongs in which the two implements are hinged together and function as a grasping device for serving portions of the mixed salad. The assembly is constituted by two implements such as a fork and a spatula, both having like shanks whose end sections define channel-like sockets, and a removable U-shaped yoke having a pair of legs which are receivable in these sockets to join the implements together and a resilient cross-piece which interconnects the legs to form a hinge.
