Abstract

A self-righting handheld utensil comprises a base having a generally rounded bottom side, a weighted element disposed within the base, an elongated region extending outwardly from the base, and a use portion. The weighted element and rounded bottom of the base provide for a self-righting function for the disclosed utensil such that, when placed on a flat or substantially flat surface, it counterbalances the utensil to an upright vertical orientation without the need for user intervention or the application of any external force. The base need not become uncoupled from the elongated region and use portion before the user makes operative use of the disclosed utensil. The base may also have an aesthetic feature on an outer surface thereof.
