Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a grasping tool that can maintain a sanitary condition of a tool such as a spoon and a tool such as a spoon that can be used hygienically.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, spoons, forks and toothbrushes have been frequently used in daily life. These tools have a use end provided on one end side that directly contacts the mouth, and a gripping tool provided on the other end side. Has been sent to many markets. And among the above-mentioned tools, especially those intended for infants, physically handicapped persons, and elderly people who have difficulty in using these tools well due to weak grip and physical disability, A variety of devices for making it easier to grip the tool such as making the tool thicker or providing a groove in the gripping tool can improve the convenience and safety of the target person in handling the tool. Is well known.

[0003]

By the way, recently, in general households, as the frequency of food poisoning accidents, which is a social problem, increases, hygiene measures are being demanded for these tools. However, in the case of the conventional configuration, since the used end has a larger specific gravity than the gripping tool, when the tool is placed on the top plate surface of furniture such as a desk, the The edges tend to come in contact with the top plate surface, making tools unsanitary. In addition, many tools intended for infants, people with physical disabilities or the elderly are those whose shape is easy to grasp, and when they are placed on the top surface, they become unstable. There is a risk that the used end will easily come into contact with the top plate surface, or it may fall off the top plate surface. Furthermore, when the tool is a cutlery (table knife) such as a spoon or a fork, the end of the tool is often made of metal, so a metallic noise is heard when placing it on the top plate surface, causing discomfort. I may feel.

As described above, the conventional ones have been variously devised in shape and the like in order to make the gripping tool easy to grip.
It is difficult to consider both ease of grip and hygiene. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a gripping tool that can improve the ease of gripping the tool and the hygiene.

[0005]

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is used when gripping a tool such as a spoon or a brush having at least one end side as a use end, and the top plate surface of furniture. The holding tool is characterized by holding the use end of the tool and the surface portion in a state of being separated from each other when the gripping tool is placed on the surface portion in a substantially horizontal state such as.

With such a structure, since the end of use of the tool is held by the gripping tool apart from the surface part of the furniture such as the top plate surface which is in a substantially horizontal state, when the tool is placed on the surface part. Moreover, the tool and the surface portion can always be used cleanly without contact between the used end and the surface portion. Specifically, when the tool placed on the surface portion is, for example, one that comes into contact with the mouth of a spoon or the like, the spoon is always held by the grasping tool so that its used end does not come into contact with the surface portion. Clean and hygienic. In particular, when the tool is a cutlery (cutlery for a table) such as a spoon, since the cutlery is often made of metal, it often comes into contact with the surface portion and makes an unpleasant metallic sound when placed. However, with the configuration according to the present invention, for example, if the gripping tool is made of resin, it is possible to prevent the generation of metallic noise. In addition, when the tool placed on the surface portion is, for example, a brush containing ink or the like, the gripping tool keeps the used end of the tool away from the surface portion, so that the surface portion can be kept clean. Note that the surface portion here means the top plate surface of furniture such as a desk, the bottom wall of a drawer, the floor, or the like.

At this time, also in the case of a gripping tool that holds the use end of the tool and the surface portion in a separated state, similarly, the contact between the use end and the surface portion is prohibited, and the tool is used cleanly and hygienically.

[0008] Then, an accident such as a fall of a tool by catching an arm or a hand is prevented, and an accident such as a piercing of a user's hand which may occur when a sharp tool such as a fork is held substantially upward. In order to reduce the danger of using the tool, when the gripping tool is placed on a surface part in a substantially horizontal state such as the top surface of furniture, the holding tool holds the tool in a horizontal state substantially along the surface part. Is desirable.

Further, when the gripping tool is devised so that it can be easily gripped, the gripping tool can be stabilized even if it has an unstable shape, or the gripping tool placed on the surface can be easily picked up. In order for the surface portion to be stably placed without slipping even on a gentle slope, the gripping tool is provided on the side opposite to the use end of the tool, and the gripping tool main body for gripping at the time of use,
It is desirable to include a supporting portion that supports the gripping tool main body and the surface portion in a separated state. Note that the unstable shape means, for example, when the gripper has a substantially circular cross-section, when the gripper is placed on the surface, the gripper itself rotates and falls from the top plate to stabilize the surface. It is a shape that is difficult to mount on.

[0010] Also, when a user with a weak grip such as an infant, a physically handicapped person, or an elderly person uses the device,
To be able to use with a finger so as to maintain a stable force balance with respect to the gripping tool, when gripping the gripping tool main body, with respect to the force applied to the gripping tool main body by one finger, It is desirable that the supporting portion has a recessed portion against which another finger can be applied so that a force opposite to that force can be applied by another finger.

Further, as a preferable material, it is desirable that the supporting portion is made of resin.

With such a structure, it is possible to prevent an unpleasant sound, such as a metallic sound, which is generated by the surface portion and the gripping tool when it is placed on the surface portion.

In order to make the gripping tool take various forms such as a toothbrush and a brush by replacing the tool, make it possible to attach an existing tool such as a spoon, and facilitate cleaning of the tool. It is desirable that the tool be attachable to and detachable from the tool.

In order to achieve a high efficiency of storage by stacking a plurality of sheets in a compact state during storage, it is desirable that the gripping tool be capable of stacking a plurality of sheets in sequence substantially in the vertical direction. .

Further, in order to prevent the contact between the used end and the surface portion and to use the tool cleanly and hygienically, the used end provided at least at one end side and the used end provided at the non-use end side are used. And a holding part for holding at the time, and when the holding part is placed on a surface part in a substantially horizontal state such as a top surface of furniture, the holding part holds the use end and the surface part in a separated state. , At least one end side, which has a use end that directly contacts the mouth, and a gripping part that is provided on the opposite side of the use end and grips at the time of use, make it substantially horizontal such as the top plate surface of furniture. It is desirable that the gripping portion holds the use end and the surface portion in a state of being separated from each other when the gripping portion is placed on a certain surface portion.

Further, in order to allow the tool placed on the surface to be easily picked up when it is placed on the surface, or to allow the surface to be stably placed without slipping even on a gentle slope, the gripping is necessary. It is desirable that the part includes a grip body that is gripped during use, and a support portion that supports the grip body and the surface portion in a separated state.

In order to achieve a high efficiency of storage by stacking a plurality of sheets at the time of storage to make them compact, it is desirable that the tools be capable of stacking the plurality one after another in a substantially vertical direction.
