Abstract

Hand sizes adjustable holding device for a cutlery knife for attachment to the hand or arm of a person with limited hand function, comprising a fastener element to the person and simultaneous cutlery recording, is characterized in that the receiving element is designed as a positive and non-positive clamping, which the cutlery play safely and safely.

Description

The invention and the innovation relates to a hand size (anatomy) flexibly adjustable holding device for a cutlery (knife) for people with limited hand and finger function.

Holding devices of current design are generally under the expired utility model DE8532087 described.

The o. G. Utility model and other commercially available holding devices of this type, do not go sufficiently to a stable fixation of the cutlery in the holder and thus in the hand of the disabled person with limited hand and finger function. However, these points are of great importance to be able to muster satisfactory forces with the cutlery.

• 1: Das Besteckteil Messer kann in den jeweiligen Aufnahmen der Haltevorrichtungen nicht stabil aufgenommen und somit nur geringere Kräfte übertragen werden.
• 2: Die Haltevorrichtungen haben nur eine kraftschlüssige Aufnahmemöglichkeit. Haben somit keine formschlüssige Sicherheit, um entsprechende Kräfte übertragen zu können.
• 3: Oftmals fehlt zum flexibel einstellbaren Halteriemen eine entsprechende Anschlagfläche für die Hand, um Kräfte auf das Besteckteil stabil übertragen zu können.
• 4: Die Haltevorrichtungen sind nur bedingt spülmaschinenfest

The following points are in my opinion for this the causes:

• 1: The cutlery knife can not be stably received in the respective receptacles of the holding devices and thus only lower forces are transmitted.
• 2: The holding devices have only a frictional recording option. Thus have no positive security to transmit appropriate forces can.
• 3: Often lacks the flexible adjustable strap a corresponding stop surface for the hand in order to transfer forces to the cutlery stable.
• 4: The holding devices are only conditionally dishwasher safe

The technical problems listed under 1 to 4, were solved with my complete construction of a hand size adjustable holder for the cutlery knife.

Below descriptions of the newly designed flexibly adjustable holding devices for a cutlery knife in detail.

Knife holding device (see also drawing):

The holding device consists of a receiving element (Part 1) in which the blade is positively and positively received below the palm rest surface. Through the belt (part 2), the holding device can be fixed depending on the size of the hand of the person concerned.

Receiving element part 1:

• 1. The receiving element has on the bottom of a receiving mold for the cutlery knife and provides with the screw connection to the cutlery a secure fit.
• 2. By attaching a stop surface for the hand can be transmitted by the pressure movement of the hand, high forces for the process of food intake and for chopping the food.

Fixing straps Part 2:

Due to the flexibly adjustable length or adaptable strap, the receiving element (part 1) can be securely fixed to the hand.

General advantages of the newly designed holding devices:

• # With this type of retainer design, the cutlery parts have a secure hold in the fixture and a secure hold at hand.
• # Very hygienic, because the complete holder (without straps => can be easily loosened) with the cutlery part is dishwasher safe
• # Due to the flexible adjustable size strap, it can be easily adjusted according to the size of the hand.
• # By using appropriate materials, the holding device are very light in weight.
