Definitions
- the present invention concerns a device for a set of cutlery for children and comprising a spoon piece and/or a fork piece having a handle connected to the proper eating part of the piece of the set of cutlery, the handle having a grip part, which allows for the user of the piece of the set of cutlery to grasp, by a so-called precision grasp, around the handle of the piece of the set of cutlery in question, i.e., between the thumb and at least one more finger.
- Cutlery for particularly children but also for old people and handicapped is made in a number of different variants and forms.
- Small children advantageously grasp objects using the so-called pincer grasp, which involves that the object in question is grasped between the thumb and one or more other fingers of the same hand.
- the ability to get food down varies from child to child when they are allowed to eat by themselves using a suitable cutlery when they have passed the stage when they eat the food directly with their hands .
- cutlery comprising particular grip parts are shown in, e.g., US 4563826A where the handle is angled in a special way, US 527115A where the handle forms a double loop, US 1625003A where the handle comprises a finger hole, US 233898OA where the handle forms a grip ring, US
- US 2889624A where the handle is provided with a finger hole
- US 2682705A showing a spoon having a rotatably angled and bent thin handle but which is intended to be grasped by the entire hand
- the fine motor ability of the hand is about the ability to handle items by the hands, i.e., to reach, grasp, manipulate, and drop. It is based on an interaction between fine motor and gross motor functions and involves hands as well as arms and shoulders. At one year of age, children begin to use the precision grasp.
- Speed, co-ordination, force control, motor memory and motor programmes are component parts of the precision grasp which are developed and refined.
- the precision grasp is primarily a function of the radial side of the hand, and involves a manipulative handling of an object or tool between the thumb and the fingertips, particularly the index and middle fingers.
- the functional position of the hand is with the forearm in an intermediate position concerning the pronation and supination, or against the pronation, as well as the wrist somewhat dorsally flexed and intermediate position between radial and ulnar flexion.
- the thumb is in opposition to the index and middle fingers and the fingers are slightly flexed.
- the child is, by the precision grasp, forced to hold the piece of cutlery horizontally. Common cutlery known, children can angle and thereby the food may fall off or not come into the mouth .
- the main object of the present invention is to provide a device of the above-mentioned type and which is made to enable an improved eating ability by the piece of the cutlery in question for children and others who utilize the cutlery .
- US 5,058,279 A concerns cutlery intended for physically handicapped persons, particularly for persons who have limited wrist mobility. This is realized when reading column 3, lines 3-12, how the piece of cutlery is grasped by persons in question by their entire hand around the cutlery handle and its sides (5, 3, 6) and by the thumb on the upper side. Then the proper cutlery head (8) is facing the person in question.
- a piece of cutlery is grasped in accordance with the present US 5,058,279 A, i.e., with the palm of the hand along the side (5) and with the fingers bent around the rear edge (3) and then along the side (6) .
- the thumb assumes a position on top of the upper side (4) .
- the food replenishment part (8) is then facing the person. Said grasp can scarcely be compared to the precision grasp, which is the same as when a pencil or a sewing needle is grasped.
- a device which essentially is characterized in that the width of the handle is 1-10 mm, that the handle has a height that is 10-30 mm at the proper grip area of the handle, and that the handle has a depression at the proper grip area, for the formation of a finger grip.
- the set of cutlery have a multigrip function (they give the possibility to hold the handle in various ways, e.g. precision grasp, key grasp, transverse volar grasp, thumb grasp)
- the present invention is based on the grip part, and thanks to this and its new features, the possibility is opened up that the child who utilizes a piece of the cutlery in question can grasp the handle in a particular way, which is suitable for the child in question, viz., the precision grasp (the pincer grasp) .
- the device for a set of cutlery for children and having a handle that allows for the child in question to grasp said cutlery by the precision grasp, i.e., having the cutlery handle situated between the child's thumb and one finger, is formed according to the present invention by cutlery having fixed dimension intervals, which cannot be exceeded or fallen below if the child should be able to utilise the cutlery in question.
- the width of the handle is 1-10 mm
- the height of the handle is 10-30 mm at the grip area .
- the handle has a depression at the grip area, for the formation of a finger grip.
- Fig. 1 shows in perspective a spoon obliquely from above
- Fig. 2 shows the spoon held in a particular way at its rear handle portion by the precision grasp
- Fig. 3 shows the spoon from the side
- Fig. 4 shows a further grasped spoon
- Fig. 5 shows a fork having a handle according to the invention
- Fig. 6 shows a spoon having the handle in elevated position
- Figs. 7-12 show design of handles having indentation and grasping of the piece of the set of cutlery
- Figs. 13-16 show pieces of the set of cutlery having holes through the handle and the grasping of the same, and
- Figs. 17-18 show pieces of the set of cutlery having handles formed as an animal body and an animal head, respectively.
- a device 1 for a set of cutlery 2 comprising a spoon piece 3 and/or a fork piece 4 and having a handle 5, 6 connected to the proper eating part 7, 8 of the piece of the set of cutlery, has the handle 5, 6 arranged in a particular way, and that the grip part 9, 10 thereof is arranged so that its longitudinal mean plane 11, 12 extends essentially
- the handle 5, 6 has a grip part 9, 10, which preferably extends at an angle V of 30-45° up or down from the proper eating part 7, 8 of the piece of the set of cutlery, as seen from the horizontal longitudinal mean plane 17, 18 of said eating part.
- the width B of the handles 5, 6 is 1-10 mm and the handle 5, 6 has a height H that exceeds said width B.
- the user 19 of the piece of the set of cutlery 2 grasp, by the so-called precision grasp or pincer grasp, around the handle 5, 6 of the piece of the set of cutlery 2 in question, i.e., between the thumb 20 and at least one more finger 21-24.
- a suitable distance between the thumb and a further interacting finger is the same as said width B of the piece of the set of cutlery.
- the height H of the handle 5, 6 is 10-30 mm at the proper grip area 25, 26 of the handle 5, 6, which increases in height H from the area of a connection 27, 28 between the handle 5, 6 and said eating part 7, 8.
- the handle 5, 6 has a grip- improving depression 29, 30 at the proper grip area 25, 26, and that preferably a depression is situated on each side I, II of the handle 5 , 6.
- a said depression extends entirely through the handle 5, 6 for the formation of a through hole 31, 32.
- the handle connects to the eating part 7 via a tapering joint part 33 connected to the under side of the eating part 7.
- the handle 5, 6 has an outer end part 34, 35, which projects for the formation of a tip from said grip area 25, 26 and on which the piece of the set of cutlery 2 in question can be placed on a table 36 or any other suitable underlayer.
- the handle 5 , 6 has a widened contact surface 37, 38, either at the connection to the eating part 7, 8 or at the outer end part 34, 35 of the handle, whereby said widened contact surface 37, 38 is arranged to allow the piece of the set of cutlery 2 in question to be placed with the handle 5, 6 in raised position on an underlayer 36.
- the handle 5, 6 of the piece of the set of cutlery 2 in question may be formed as some suitable fantasy figure 39, 40, e.g. as an animal, for instance snake, wolf, or swan, as partly is shown in the drawings, or as a vehicle not shown or with another easy-grip shape according to the above-mentioned.
- the design of the figures has to be such that it is allowed to grasp the piece of the set of cutlery in question by means of the precision grasp.
- the piece of the set of cutlery 2 consists of environmental -friendly plastic material but also metal may be a possibility.
