An angle adjusting means for adjusting the angle to be adjusted is provided.

According to the present invention, food and drink fallen objects can be reliably collected with a table / napkin before spreading greatly, and contamination of clothes, floors, etc. is prevented over a wider area with a smaller area.
Further, by making the table / napkin support a liquid non-penetrating member such as a synthetic resin that does not allow liquid to permeate, it is possible to prevent permeation contamination of liquid fallen objects. Furthermore, if the support is formed in a shape that can be placed on top of each other, there is an advantage that the storage space can be narrow.
In addition, the napkin is supported at a position where food and drink falling objects are reliably collected, so that clothes and floor stains due to food and drink falling objects can be prevented.
In addition, the labor of washing can be saved by changing the napkin, and the mood of the care recipient can be brightened.

The table / napkin support according to the first embodiment of the present invention has a mounting means for mounting the table / napkin having an outer periphery that exceeds the spraying range of food and drink falling objects, and a wearer's mouth. A table / napkin support comprising an attaching means for attaching the placing means to the upper part of the spraying range, and the placing means has a neck rest that is recessed in the upper center and is perpendicular to the back muscle angle. It consists of a breast pad formed in a shape along the chest of the wearer sitting in a posture, and a cradle formed by extending the breast pad downward and bending the extended tip upward in an arc shape.
According to the present embodiment, the table / napkin is spread over the outer periphery of the placing means beyond the range of the food and drink falling objects and is placed in the vicinity of the mouth, and the food and drink falling objects are widely dispersed. You can collect fallen food and drink before you do it. In addition, food and food fallen objects can be reliably collected with a napkin having a smaller area, thereby preventing a wider range of contamination.
The table / napkin support according to the second embodiment of the present invention has a table that has an outer periphery that exceeds the spraying range of the food and drink fallen object defined as a cone shape from the trajectory drawn by the food and drink falling from the mouth. Consists of placing means for placing the napkin and engaging means for attaching the placing means to the upper part of the spraying area under the wearer's mouth, and the placing means is a vertical posture of the spine angle or approximately the spine angle. It comprises a breastplate formed following the shape of a wearer's chest seated in a 30-degree inclined posture and a cradle formed following the shape of the bottom of the cone.
According to the present embodiment, the napkin is placed at a position where food and fallen objects on the mounting means can be reliably collected by determining the distribution range of food and drink falling objects as a cone shape and determining the shape and dimensions of the mounting means. It becomes possible to spread.
In addition, any table / napkin support formed in accordance with the shape of a breast or the like inclined at a spine angle of approximately 30 degrees can be used for a cared person or an infant. In addition, since the overall position of the placing means is closer to the wearer's mouth than the vertical posture of the spine angle, the placing means is miniaturized and the napkin to be spread requires a smaller area.

The table / napkin support according to the third embodiment of the present invention comprises a placing means for placing a table / napkin for collecting a wearer's food and drink falling object, and a holding means for holding the placing means to the wearer. The mounting means is applied to the body, the holding means is attached to the neck, and the mounting means is deployed at a substantially horizontal angle in front of the chest below the wearer's mouth or a downward angle of approximately 15 degrees with respect to the horizontal. Thus, the napkin held by the holding means and supported on the mounting means is supported at that angle.
According to the present embodiment, it becomes possible to support the napkin in the vicinity of the mouth, and it is possible to reliably collect food and drink falling objects by the napkin. Can be prevented.
A table / napkin support according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention includes a placing means for placing a table / napkin for collecting a wearer's food and drink fallen object, and a holding means for holding the placing means to the wearer. The holding means is placed on the body, the holding means is attached to the neck, and the holding means is deployed at a downward angle of approximately 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal in front of the chest under the wearer's mouth. The napkin that is held and placed on the placing means is supported at that angle.
According to the present embodiment, the napkin can be supported at a position close to the mouth that reliably collects food and drink falling objects in both the posture where the wearer has woken up and the sleeping posture, and prevents the clothes from being soiled. At the same time, it is possible to prevent dirt on the floor and the like.

According to a fifth embodiment of the present invention, in the table / napkin support according to the first to fourth embodiments, the placing means comprises a liquid non-permeable member.

Hereinafter, a table napkin support according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view showing a table / napkin support according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a mounting state of the table / napkin support of FIG. FIG. 3 is a side view showing a wearing state of the table / napkin support of FIG. 2, and is a view seen from the side direction of the arrow AA in FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the table / napkin support 10 of the present embodiment includes a mounting means 11 on which the table / napkin 1 (shown by a two-dot chain line; hereinafter napkin 1) is placed, and this mounting. It is comprised from the engaging means 12 which adheres and fixes the mounting means 11 to the vicinity of the wearer's 6 mouth. A table napkin has the same meaning as a meal napkin.

That is, the mounting means 11 is configured to have an outer periphery 13 provided at a position beyond the spraying range of food and drink that falls from the mouth of the wearer 6 during eating and drinking (ie, food and drink falling). The distribution range of the food and drink fallen object is that the shape of the trajectory group drawn when the food and drink fallen object is scattered from the mouth becomes a cone. It is assumed that an inner range of a cone (shown by a dotted line) obtained by rotating a 30-degree oblique line is a scattering range. Note that the cone is obtained by rotating the oblique line drawn from the mouth, so that the bottom of the cone is horizontal.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the cone has a bottom surface diameter of about 24 cm and a height of about 20 cm. These dimensions are determined from the size of the wearer's body and ease of use, and the height is preferably 8 to 28 cm (reference; bottom diameter is 9 to 32 cm).
If the height of the cone is too large, it will be difficult to collect due to the spread range, and if it is too small, the space between the mouth and the mounting means will be narrow and difficult to eat, so depending on the size and convenience of the wearer It is necessary to set it to an appropriate height.

The basic configuration is that the outer periphery 13 is formed at a position slightly outside the side surface of the cone. Note that “slightly” means 1 cm to 5 cm. If it is this size, it is desirable from the point of size reduction of the mounting means 11, but the structure formed in the outer position of 5 cm-10 cm may be sufficient.
Incidentally, the mounting means 11 of the present embodiment has a rounded, substantially quadrangular shape as shown in FIG. 1 having a width of 20 cm to 35 cm and a depth of 20 cm to 35 cm. This width dimension is a dimension exceeding the diameter of the bottom surface, which is the range of sprayed food and drink falling. The placement means for children such as infants is preferably 9 cm to 30 cm in width and 9 cm to 40 cm in depth, and the placement means for adults is preferably 20 cm to 40 cm in width and 20 cm to 50 cm in depth.
Further, the outer periphery 13 of the mounting means 11 (that is, the edge of the mounting means 11) is formed in a bowl-like shape with a height of 2 cm to 5 cm (a part of the outer periphery is about 8 cm). Further, a neck rest 14 that is recessed in a U shape downward is provided at the center of the uppermost portion of the mounting means 11.

As shown in FIG. 3, the breast pad 15 located in the upper part of the mounting means 11 is in the posture of sitting upright with the back vertical (that is, the vertical posture of the back muscles) of the wearer 6. The basic configuration is to form a shape along the chest (ie, chest).
Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the cradle 16 positioned at the lower part of the mounting means 11 is formed by extending the breastplate 15 downward and bending the extended tip upward in an arc shape. This is the basic configuration. At this time, the shape of the cradle 16 is set to a shape along the cone bottom surface of the spraying range (that is, a shape substantially parallel to the horizontal cone bottom surface), so that food and drink fallen objects are reliably collected.
In the mounting means 11 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the linear distance from the upper end P to the lower end Q of the mounting means 11 is about 27 cm, and is formed following the shape of the chest or the like. The total length of the mounting means from the upper end P to the lower end Q is about 35 cm. In addition, the upper end P is provided in a wearer's shoulder uppermost part, and the lower end Q is provided in the position beyond the dispersion | spreading range of the food fallen object.
And the mounting means 11 is comprised from the net-like member which has a hole. For example, it has a configuration such as cocoon, cocoon, cocoon made from wire material, bamboo material, vine material, etc.

  On the other hand, the engaging means 12 is closely fixed to the vicinity of the mouth of the wearer 6, in other words, the placing means 11 is located under the mouth of the wearer 6 and above the spraying range of the food and drink fallen object. 11 is the basic configuration. And the engaging means 12 is comprised from members, such as a string shape or a strip | belt shape. For example, a cloth string or an elastic rubber string. Further, the engaging means 12 may be configured such that the placing means is tightly fixed to the wearer using a magic tape, or may be a combined structure such as a button and a button hole. Furthermore, the structure which hooks a hook etc. on a neck or a shoulder without turning a string around a neck, and a mounting means may be attached to a wearer may be sufficient.

Next, the operation will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the neck rest 14 of the placing means 11 is inserted into the neck and applied to the neck of the wearer 6. Then, the engaging means 12 made of a string is tied behind the neck, and the placing means 11 is closely fixed to the vicinity of the mouth of the wearer 6. At this time, the breastplate 15 of the placing means 11 is placed on the chest of the wearer 6 and stabilized. At the same time, the cradle 16 of the placing means 11 develops like a tray below the wearer's 6 mouth.

As mentioned above, since the spraying range of food and drink fallen objects is considered to be within the cone, the outer periphery 13 of the mounting means 11 of the table / napkin support 10 is placed outside the spraying range (exceeding the spraying range). Position). Therefore, by placing the napkin 1 along (or beyond) the outer periphery 13 of the mounting means 11, the napkin 1 can be spread over the outside of the spraying range (that is, including the entire spraying range).
That is, the napkin 1 is expanded beyond the spraying range of food and drink falling objects, and is placed in the vicinity of the mouth, so that the food and drink falling objects can be collected before the food and drink falling objects are sprayed. In other words, since the falling range of food and drink falling away from the mouth expands, in order to collect the food and drink falling before spreading, the expanded napkin is at the top of the spraying range of food and drink falling and in the vicinity of the mouth It is characterized by being supported by a table / napkin support.

As described above, in the table / napkin support 10 of the present embodiment, the napkin 1 is greatly spread under the mouth, and the food and drink falling objects before spreading can be reliably collected by the napkin 1, which is smaller. Contamination of clothes and floors can be prevented over a wider area.
That is, if the napkin is placed on the knee, the chest becomes dirty. If the napkin covers the chest, it is avoided that the napkin falls on the knee and becomes dirty. In addition, the pocket mouth of the apron with pockets can be prevented from soiling clothes and the floor with food and drink falling objects that were closed during use.
The smaller area is as follows. The dimensions of commercially available napkins are 24 cm square, 33 cm square, 40 cm square, 48 cm square, 56 cm square, 61 cm square, 69 cm square, and the like. In the table / napkin support 10 of the present embodiment, 33 cm square and 40 cm square napkin having small dimensions are mainly used. It is possible to save resources without using a large napkin (48-69 cm square).
The size of the napkin used in the table / napkin support 10 is smaller than the S size (39 × 53 cm), M size (47 × 68 cm), and L size (47 × 75.5) of the paper apron. It is.

Moreover, in the present Example, since the mounting means 11 has the bowl-shaped outer periphery 13, it can prevent that the solid food fallen object which is easy to roll spills over this.
Moreover, since the surface of the cradle 16 intersects with food and drink fallen objects at an angle close to a right angle and has an arc shape, the napkin 1 placed thereon can almost certainly collect the food fallen objects without spilling down.
Moreover, if the mounting means 11 of the present embodiment is composed of a plastic mesh member (for example, made of aluminum wire), it is appropriately bent to match the body shape of the wearer 6, or the outer periphery is extended to collect food and drink fallen objects. There is an advantage that it can be modified to increase efficiency.
Further, the napkin 1 placed on the placing means 11 is stably held by the shape of the placing means 11, the angle with respect to the horizontal plane, and the friction with the mesh member, so there is no risk of slipping or dropping. .
Furthermore, since the placing means 11 is made of a net-like member having a hole, there is an advantage that the burden on the care recipient and the infant is reduced because the weight is reduced.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a table / napkin support of Example 2 of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a side view showing a wearing state of the table / napkin support of FIG.
The configuration and operation of the table / napkin support 20 of the present embodiment are substantially the same as those of the table / napkin support 10 of the first embodiment, and the configuration and operation of parts different from the first embodiment will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 5, the table / napkin support 20 of the present embodiment is used in a posture in which the wearer 6 sleeps with his / her back on the bed 5 raised at 60 degrees from the horizontal plane. That is, it is used by a wearer sitting in a posture in which the spine angle is inclined approximately 30 degrees from the vertical (back muscle angle is inclined approximately 30 degrees), and is preferably used for a care recipient or an infant.
Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the breast pad 25 positioned at the upper portion of the placing means 21 is formed in a shape along the chest of the wearer 6 who is seated in a posture inclined at a back muscle angle of approximately 30 degrees. . The cradle 26 located at the lower part of the mounting means 21 is formed by extending the breast pad 25 downward and bending the extended tip upward in a gentle arc shape.
This gentle arc shape means that the curvature of the arc of the cradle 26 in the present embodiment is larger than the curvature of the arc of the cradle 16 in the first embodiment. This is because, in the case of a posture inclined about 30 degrees in the spine angle, the spread range of the food and drink fallen, and the overall size of the mounting means 21 becomes smaller than the mounting means 11 in the vertical posture of the spine angle, so that it is flat and gentle. This is because food and drink fallen objects can be collected by the placing means 21 having a shape.

FIG. 5 shows a cone as a spraying range of food and drink fallen objects obtained by rotating the oblique line of about 30 degrees with respect to the perpendicular line below the mouth of the wearer 6. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the dimension of the cone of a present Example is about 18.3 cm (8-23 cm) in height, and the diameter of a bottom face is about 21.1 cm (9-28 cm).
The spraying range of the present embodiment is narrower than the spraying range of the first embodiment. When the wearer 6 goes to sleep, the placing means 21 supported by the chest is lifted, and the placing means 21 (the pedestal 26) from the mouth. This is because the fall distance until is shortened. In this embodiment, the height of the cone is approximately 18.3 cm.
Moreover, in the mounting means 21 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the linear distance from the upper end P ′ to the lower end Q ′ of the mounting means 21 is about 21 cm, and follows the shape of the mounting means. The total length from the upper end P to the lower end Q is about 24 cm. Thus, the overall dimensions of the mounting means 21 of the present embodiment are smaller than the mounting means 11 of the first embodiment.

  In addition, since there is a risk of accidental ingestion when eating and drinking in the sleeping position, there are cases where the body is left sleeping and eating and drinking in a position where only the neck is raised. The conical dimensions in the posture of raising the neck shown in dotted line in FIG. 5 are about 13 cm (8 to 18 cm) in height and about 15 cm (10 to 20 cm) in diameter at the bottom (not shown). In this case, since the spraying range is further narrowed, the mounting means can be further downsized. In any case, the napkin 7 placed on the mounting means 21 of the present embodiment may be smaller than the napkin 1 of the first embodiment. Further, there is an advantage that the placing means 21 comes closer to the mouth and the collection of food and drink fallen objects is ensured.

As described above, in the table / napkin support 20 of the present embodiment, even when a care receiver or an infant is used in a sleeping position, the food fallen food is collected before the food fallen food diffuses. Can do.
In addition, since the length between the upper end and the lower end of the breast pad 25 and the cradle 26 of the table / napkin support 20 is shorter than that of the table / napkin support 11 of the first embodiment, the overall size is reduced. There are advantages.
Moreover, the placing means 21 as a whole is closer to the mouth than the first embodiment, and the collection probability of food and drink fallen by the napkin 7 placed on the placing means 21 is increased.
Moreover, the inclination of both the breastplate 25 and the cradle 26 becomes gentle, and there is little possibility that the fallen food and drink rolls down from the napkin 7 that is spread along the outer periphery 23 to the outside of the spread range of the fallen food and drink. Become.

By the way, the table / napkin support 20 of this embodiment is used in a posture in which the wearer lies at a back muscle angle of approximately 30 degrees, and the distance from the upper end P ′ to the lower end Q ′ is short. If this table / napkin support 20 is used in a posture in which the wearer has raised his / her spine angle vertically, the front of the outer periphery 23 of the mounting means 21 (a part of the outer periphery 23) does not go out of the spraying range of the food and drink fallen (spreading) Because it falls within the range), food and drink fallen objects may not be collected. That is, it is difficult to share the table / napkin support 20 between the posture of the wearer and the sleeping posture.
On the other hand, since the distance between the upper end P and the lower end Q of the table / napkin support 10 of Example 1 is long, the outer periphery 13 of the mounting means 11 is outside the sprayed food falling range in both postures. Because it comes out, sharing is possible. Therefore, it is desirable that the table / napkin support has a linear distance from the upper end P to the lower end Q of the mounting means of 25 cm or more, or a total length from the upper end P to the lower end Q of 33 cm or more.
Further, if the linear distance or total length from the upper end P ′ to the lower end Q ′ of the placing means 21 of the table / napkin support 20 used in the sleeping position is increased, the table / napkin support tool 20 can also be used for the posture in which it occurred. However, when the table / napkin support 20 is shared only by increasing the linear distance and the total length, the cradle 26 of the mounting means 21 that develops at a substantially horizontal angle is used in the fourth to fourth embodiments described later. As shown in FIG. 8, since it develops at a downward angle of about 15 degrees or about 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal, the collection of food and drink fallen objects is uncertain. Therefore, in order to share, it can be said that, for example, it is desirable to increase the height of the outer periphery (edge) of the cradle, that is, to form the cradle into a shape like a deep saucer.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a table / napkin support according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 6, the table / napkin support 30 of the present embodiment has an outer periphery 33 that exceeds the spraying range of food and drink falling objects, and a placing means 31 for placing the napkin 1, and a wearer's mouth. There are engaging means 32 for attaching the placing means 31 to the upper part of the spraying range. The placing means 31 has a neck rest 34 that is recessed in the upper center and a chest rest 35 that is formed in a shape along the chest of the wearer sitting in a vertical posture of the spine angle, and the chest rest 35 extends downward. Thereafter, the pedestal 36 is formed by bending upward in an arc shape.
And the mounting means 31 is a structure which consists of a liquid non-penetrating member with a shape retention capability. For example, synthetic resin molding materials / foam materials, synthetic resin film materials / laminate materials, rubber materials and cloth-drawn rubber materials, compression molding materials / laminate bonding materials such as paper / wood, and the like are applicable.
In other words, the table / napkin support 30 of the present embodiment has a configuration in which the plastic mesh member in the table / napkin support 10 of the first embodiment is replaced with a liquid non-permeable member. Accordingly, the configuration and operation of the present embodiment are almost the same as those of the first embodiment, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

As described above, in the table / napkin support 30 of the present embodiment, since the placing means 31 is made of a liquid non-permeable member, it is possible to prevent clothes from being contaminated by the penetration of liquid fallen objects.
Moreover, if the mounting means 31 is formed into a shape that can be placed on top of each other, there is an advantage that the storage space can be narrow. For example, if the placing means 31 is made of a synthetic resin molding material, it can be produced at low cost by mass production, and can also be placed on top of each other, thus saving storage and transportation fees.

  In the table / napkin support according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the mounting means can be constituted by a liquid non-penetrating member as in the third embodiment. And it is obvious that the same effect as Example 3 is acquired, and illustration description etc. are abbreviate | omitted.

Here, with reference to FIG.7 and FIG.8, it demonstrates supplementarily about the relationship of the shape and dimension with a mounting means and the dispersion | spreading range etc. of a food-and-dropper falling object.
FIG. 7 is a side view for explaining the relationship between the placing means in the vertical posture of the spine angle and the spraying range and the like, and FIG. 8 shows the placing means and the spraying range in the posture of tilting the spine angle of approximately 30 degrees. It is a side view explaining a relationship.
As shown in FIG. 7, it is assumed that the distribution range of food and drink falling objects in a vertical posture of the spine angle is a cone, with respect to the height H of the cone (perpendicular line BC drawn from the mouth) and the hypotenuse perpendicular It is determined from the angle α (scattering angle α of the line segment BC and the line segment BD). The diameter d (line segment DE) of the horizontal bottom surface is determined from the height H and the angle α. Incidentally, in Example 1, the height H is about 20 cm, the spraying angle α is about 35 °, and the diameter d is about 24 cm.

  On the other hand, the basic shape of the breastplate (V part) of the mounting means is a shape such as a chest from the top of the shoulder of the wearer (point F) to the intersection (point G) where the bottom of the cone intersects the wearer's chest. It is determined from the shape of the curved line (line segment FG). The basic dimensions of the breastplate are determined from the total length of the curve (line segment FG). Incidentally, the total length of the breastplate 15 of Example 1 is about 20 cm. The point F may be the same as the point of the upper end P described in the first embodiment.

The basic shape of the cradle (W portion) is determined from the shape of the bottom surface of the cone (line segment GD). That is, the basic shape of the cradle is a shape along the bottom surface, and is a shape suitable for receiving and catching food and drink falling objects. The basic dimensions of the cradle are determined from the total length of the line segment GJ obtained by adding the line segment DJ corresponding to the dimension exceeding the scattering range to the line segment GD. In addition, J point which is the front-end | tip of a cradle corresponds to the lower end Q mentioned in Example 1, and is a point provided in the position beyond the spraying range of the food and drink fallen object.
Incidentally, the total length of the cradle 16 of Example 1 is about 15 cm. In addition, in the cradle 16 of Example 1, the basic shape is a shape that develops at a substantially horizontal angle along the bottom surface, and in addition to the shape, a dent is provided in the cradle 16 to collect food and drink fallen objects. Sure. That is, the breastplate 15 is extended downward and the extended tip is bent upward in an arc shape. Furthermore, in the mounting means 11, the outer periphery 13 (the edge of the cradle 16) is shaped like a bowl to ensure the collection reliability.
In addition, it is not limited to the shape which expands the receiving stand 16 at a substantially horizontal angle, and it is about 15 degrees downward angle with respect to the horizontal like Example 4 to Example 8 mentioned later, or about 30 degree downward. A shape that expands to an angle is also possible. For example, if the ridges of the outer periphery 13 (edge) are configured to be high, it is possible to reliably collect food and drink falling objects even with a cradle having a shape that develops at a downward angle.

Similarly, as shown in FIG. 8, the sprayed range of food and drink falling objects with an inclination of approximately 30 degrees in the spine angle is determined from the height H ′ of the cone and the angle α ′, and the diameter d ′ of the bottom surface is the height H. Determined from 'and angle α'. Incidentally, in Example 2, the height H ′ is approximately 14.3 cm, the spraying angle α ′ is approximately 35 °, and the diameter d ′ is approximately 21.1 cm.
On the other hand, the basic shape of the breastplate of the mounting means is a curve (line) along the shape of the chest or the like from the wearer's shoulder top (F ′ point) to the intersection (G ′ point) of the bottom line and the chest line. The basic dimensions of the breastplate are determined from the total length of the line segment F′G ′. Incidentally, the total length of the breastplate 25 of Example 2 is about 17.5 cm. The point F ′ may be the same as the point of the upper end P ′ described in the second embodiment.

The basic shape of the cradle is determined from the shape of the bottom line segment G′D ′. That is, the basic shape of the cradle is a shape that develops at a substantially horizontal angle along the bottom surface, and is a shape that is suitable for receiving and catching falling food and drink. In addition, as described above, in order to share the table / napkin support with the posture of the wearer and the sleeping posture, the cradle is deployed at a downward angle of approximately 15 degrees or approximately 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal. Since the structure may be configured, the basic shape of the cradle is a shape that develops at a substantially horizontal angle along the bottom surface, but is not limited thereto.
The basic dimensions of the cradle are determined from the total length of the line segment G′J ′ obtained by adding the line segment D′ J ′ corresponding to the dimension exceeding the scattering range to the line segment G′D ′. In addition, J 'point which is the front-end | tip of a cradle corresponds to the lower end Q' mentioned above in Example 2, and is a point provided in the position beyond the spraying range of food and drink fallen objects.
Incidentally, the total length of the cradle 26 of Example 2 is about 6.5 cm. Note that the cradle 26 has a basic shape in which the lower part of the breastplate 25 is bent at a point G ′ and formed substantially horizontally. In addition, the chest pad 25 is extended downward, and the extended tip is bent upward in a gentle arc shape to form a shallow dent, thereby ensuring the collection of food and drink fallen objects.
In addition, the description about the attitude | position which raised the neck of the dotted line illustration can be understood easily from the above, The description is abbreviate | omitted.

By the way, a wearer's body size, wearing posture, and the like are different, and the present invention is not limited to the above cone height and diffusion angle. For example, in the case of Example 4 to Example 8 described later, the cone height is 18 cm to 40 cm, which is slightly larger than the size of the mounting means. This is because when the cone height is increased, the range of sprayed food and drink fall.
Further, the diffusion angle is not limited to 35 degrees, but can be set to an angle in the range of 25 degrees to 45 degrees.
In addition, it does not limit the spraying range of food and drink fallen as a cone, for example, different cones, such as deformed cones, cones that are distorted laterally or forward, depending on the way of eating or the difference between the elderly and infants. Since it is determined by the range, it is also possible to determine the shape and dimensions of the mounting means by setting the spraying range to a predetermined cone shape. In other words, by determining that the shape of the spraying range drawn by the trajectory of the food and drink falling object is a cone shape and determining the shape and dimensions of the mounting means, the food and drink falling objects on the mounting means can be reliably collected. It becomes possible to spread the napkin in position.
In addition, although the mounting means has an outer periphery that exceeds the outside of the spraying range of the food and drink fallen objects, there is still anxiety in the certainty of collection, but the entire outer periphery is located outside the spraying range. .

  Summarizing the above, the table / napkin support is a table on which the table / napkin is placed with an outer periphery that exceeds the range of sprayed food falling from the trajectory drawn by the food falling falling from the mouth. And placing means for engaging the placing means below the wearer's mouth and above the spraying range, and the placing means is a posture in which the spine angle is vertical or the spine angle is inclined approximately 30 degrees. Or a breast pad formed in a shape along the chest of the wearer sitting in a posture between a vertical posture of the spine angle and a posture inclined from the spine angle of approximately 30 degrees, and a cradle formed in a shape along the bottom surface of the cone shape And consists of By realizing this configuration, it becomes possible to reliably collect food and drink fallen objects with the napkin, and the purpose of the widely used napkin can be sufficiently achieved. That is, the usability is greatly improved such that the chest and knees are not covered or fallen or shifted.

Hereinafter, a table napkin support according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 9 is a perspective view showing a table / napkin support according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 10 is a perspective view for explaining a case where the neck ring of the holding means shown in FIG. 9 is adjusted.
The table / napkin support 40 of the present embodiment includes a bowl-like, bowl-like or bowl-like mounting means 41 formed from a plastic wire (for example, an aluminum wire, a plated steel wire, etc.) and fibers, synthetic resins, etc. A holding means 46 that is formed of a string, a rope, a strip, etc., engages with the placing means 41 and holds the placing means 41 to the user (that is, a wearer), and holds the placing means 41 against the body The means 46 is attached to the neck, and the mounting means 41 is held by the holding means 46 so as to be deployed at a substantially horizontal angle in front of the user's chest, and the user's spilled food (ie, food and drink fallen matter) is collected. Therefore, the napkin 1 placed on the placing means 41 is supported at a substantially horizontal angle. In addition, the substantially horizontal angle described in this specification refers to a downward angle in the range of 0 to 10 degrees with respect to the horizontal.

The hook-like (that is, net-like) placement means 41 is formed by forming a chest contact portion 42 to be applied to the user's chest and a substantially semi-circular shape in conformity with the user's neck shape. Napkin 1 (two-dot chain line) which is supported by the neck holder 43 and the chest holder 2 and the neck holder 43 and is expanded to the front of the chest under the user's mouth and to collect food spills. And a knitted edge portion 45 formed to prevent the napkin 1 from falling on the edge of the pedestal portion 44. It is configured.
The knitted cradle 44 knitted with a wire is formed in a ski jump base shape in the front direction (that is, in the longitudinal direction) and is formed in a fan shape in the lateral direction. Further, the knitted edge 45 knitted from the wire is raised to an acute angle from the edge and formed to a height of about 2 to 3 cm.
On the other hand, the holding means 46 is configured to include a string 47 as a turning part that goes around the user's neck and a movable tool 48 that passes through the two or double strings 47.
Then, for example, the strap 47 is tied to the edge 45 at the connecting portion 49, the mounting means 41 and the holding means 46 are engaged, and the mounting means 41 is made to be substantially horizontal by the holding means 46 turned around the user's neck. It is configured to hold at an angle.

Next, a case where the table / napkin support 40 is attached to the user will be described. 11 is a perspective view showing a mounting state of the table / napkin support of FIG. 9, and FIG. 12 is a side view showing a mounting state of the table / napkin support of FIG.
First, in FIG. 9, the movable tool 48 of the holding means 46 is moved in the direction of the arrow X, and the ring (hereinafter referred to as the neckline ring) formed by the string 47 (part of it) around the user's neck is enlarged. The enlarged neckline is passed through the user's head and the string 47 is hung on the neck.
Next, in FIG. 10, the movable tool 48 is moved in the direction of the arrow Y, the neck ring of the string 47 is narrowed down, and the neck ring is adjusted to the thickness of the user's neck. By combining this, in other words, by adjusting the ring around the neck, the mounting means 41 is pulled up by the holding means 46, and the mounting means 41 is held at a substantially horizontal angle.

As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the chest portion 42 of the placement means 41 hits the chest of the user 6 and the neck contact portion 43 hits the neck of the user 6 by the above operation. While being supported, the cradle part 44 of the mounting means 41 is held at a substantially horizontal angle in front of the chest under the mouth of the user 6. As shown in FIG. 12, the chest abutment portion 42 has a structure like a support that hits the chest and supports the cradle portion 44. If the angle and dimensions of this support column are changed, the placement as described later in Embodiment 6 will be described. The angle adjusting means for adjusting the angle at which the means 41 is held is provided.
Then, the napkin 1 expanded on the receiving part 44 is placed at a substantially horizontal angle, and the mounting operation of the table / napkin support 40 is completed.
On the other hand, the operation of removing the table / napkin support 40 is the reverse operation described above.

As shown in FIG. 12, the napkin 1 is placed following the shape of the inner surface of the ski jumping base 44, so that the overall shape of the expanded napkin 1 has a substantially horizontal angle. The shape expands in the direction.
The ski jumping base 44 has a concave portion 44a at a position slightly ahead of the center, and the collected food spillage is stored in the napkin 1 expanded along the concave portion 44a. . In other words, it can be said that the receiving part 44 is provided with a recess 44a that ensures the collection by forming a recess in the napkin 1 and collecting food spilled in the recess.
On the other hand, the neck portion 43 that is recessed according to the neck shape hits the root of the neck, so that the napkin 1 can be extended to the position of the base of the neck over the mouth, and the collection rate of food spills can be increased. it can. Further, it is desirable to bend and place the front napkin tip or to place the napkin tip slightly protruding from the edge in order to prevent spillage.

By the way, in this Example 4, since the mounting means 41 has the bowl-shaped edge part 45, there exists an advantage that the napkin 1 prevents falling from the mounting means 41. FIG. In addition, there is an advantage that food spills collected on the napkin 1 are prevented from spilling over the placing means 41.
Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the receiving portion 44 of the mounting means 41 is formed in a ski jumping table shape with its front tip jumping up, so that a solid food spilled product that easily rolls off can be obtained with the napkin 1. There is an advantage that it can be collected. In addition, the ski jumping table has a natural curve of “beauty, kindness, and spaciousness”. Therefore, even if the table / napkin support 40 is supported in front of the eyes, the user 6 feels uncomfortable or intimidating. In other words, it has the advantage of making it feel psychologically moist. Furthermore, since the cradle part 44 is formed in the fan shape which the front spreads sideways, there exists an advantage that the collection rate of the food spilled thing which spreads and falls is improved.

  Furthermore, there are the following advantages in collecting spilled food using a napkin. If an apron is used for a care recipient who has a high risk of spilling, etc., the apron is immediately soiled, which requires frequent replacement and washing. Also, the apron is expensive and difficult to replace disposable. In contrast, when a napkin is used, for example, a paper napkin can be replaced disposable, and the labor of washing can be saved. And by using fun designs and colored paper napkins, changing them every time and changing them with the seasons, etc., it is possible to lighten the mood of users such as care recipients. In addition, it is possible to change the size of the napkin or use a water-repellent napkin, and there is an advantage that various measures can be taken.

As described above, in the table / napkin support 40 of the present embodiment, the napkin 1 is placed on the placing means 41 that is unfolded in front of the chest under the mouth of the user 6 and held at a substantially horizontal angle. By doing so, the napkin 1 is supported at a position near the mouth at the height of the shoulder of the user 6 at a substantially horizontal angle. In other words, since the range where the food spilled material falls away from the mouth increases, the napkin 1 is supported at a position near the mouth below at a substantially horizontal angle in order to collect the food spilled material before it spreads.
As a result, the napkin 1 can be supported so as to reliably collect spilled food (especially solid spilled food that is easy to roll), so that the napkin 1 can prevent the clothes and the floor from being soiled.

Note that the chest portion 42 of the placement means 41 of this embodiment is placed on the placement means 41 (that is, the placement means 41) in addition to the function of stabilizing the holding of the placement means 41 by hitting the chest. It has the function of bringing the napkin 1) closer to the mouth.
In addition, the movable tool 48 of the present embodiment has a structure that prevents natural movement (that is, free movement) using the frictional force generated between the string 47 and the movable tool 48. In addition, the movable tool 48 is prevented from coming off the string 47 when the neck ring is adjusted.
And the combination structure of the string 47 and the movable tool 48 passed through the string 47 corresponds to the neck ring adjusting means for adjusting the neck ring of the holding means. The neck ring adjusting means can be adjusted to the thickness of the neck of the user 6, in other words, the mounting means 41 is pulled up to a predetermined angle regardless of whether the user 6 is thick or thin. There is an advantage that the mounting means 41 can be unfolded and held.

In this embodiment, the mounting means 41 is supported by being placed on the chest and neck. The configuration supported at these two locations is desirable because the holding of the mounting means 41 is more stabilized than the configuration supported at one location on the chest and neck of the embodiments described later.
By the way, the division between the chest and the neck, the neck and the shoulder, and the shoulder and the chest is ambiguous, and the configuration may be such that the placing means is applied to at least one place of the chest, the neck, or the shoulder. It shall be applied to the table napkin support of all the examples.

Further, in the present embodiment, the mounting means 41 is formed in a bowl shape. The configuration of the mounting means (or the shape of the bowl or bowl) (that is, the configuration of the mounting means having a hole) is lightweight and burdens on the user (especially elderly people, care recipients and disabled persons). Is desirable because it relieves. In addition, by utilizing the plasticity, the mounting means 41 can be appropriately deformed after mounting and can be adjusted to the user's posture, body attachment, demands, etc., and the probability of collecting food spills by the napkin 1 is further increased. So desirable.
In addition, it is desirable to place the napkin 1 on the placing means 41 by bending the napkin 1 into an appropriate shape or by making a suitable cut.
In addition, the words “holding” and “holding means” in the fourth embodiment are words related to “mounting the mounting means to the user” in the same way as the words “fastening” and “fastening means” in the first embodiment. It is significant.

13 is a perspective view showing a table / napkin support according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 14 is an enlarged perspective view showing the holding means from the direction of the arrow Z in FIG. 13, and FIG. It is a side view which shows the mounting state of 13 table napkin support tools.
The table / napkin support 50 according to the present embodiment includes a tray-like mounting means 51 formed from a liquid non-penetrating member such as a synthetic resin, and a belt-shaped holding means formed from a synthetic resin or the like and engaged with the mounting means 51. 56, the mounting means 51 is placed against the body, the holding means 56 is attached to the neck, and the mounting means 51 is deployed at a downward angle of approximately 15 degrees with respect to the horizontal in front of the user's chest. The napkin 1 is held at 56 and supports the napkin 1 placed on the placing means 51 at a downward angle of about 15 degrees in order to collect the user's spilled food.
Note that the downward angle of about 15 degrees with respect to the horizontal described in this specification refers to a downward angle in the range of 10 degrees to 25 degrees with respect to the horizontal. In addition, examples of synthetic resins to be integrally molded include polyethylene and vinyl chloride.

The tray-like mounting means 51 is supported by a chest portion 52 (see FIG. 15) on which the user's chest hits, a neck recess 53 formed by being recessed in a substantially semicircular shape, and a chest portion 52. The napkin 1 is deployed in front of the chest under the user's mouth and the napkin 1 for collecting food spills is placed thereon, and the napkin 1 is prevented from falling on the edge of the cradle 54. And an edge portion 55 formed so as to form a groove.
In addition, the receiving part 54 is provided with a recess 54a for ensuring collection by forming a recess in the napkin 1 and collecting food spilled items in the recess. And the cradle part 54 is formed in the ski jump stand shape toward the front so that the cradle part 54 may have this recessed part 54a. Further, the receiving part 54 is formed in a fan shape in the lateral direction. Further, the edge portion 55 is formed at a height of about 2 to 3 cm by rising from the edge at an acute angle.

  On the other hand, the holding means 56 is configured to include a right band 57 as a turning part that turns around the right side of the neck and a left band 58 as a turning part that turns around the left side of the neck. Further, as shown in FIG. 15, a protrusion 57 a is provided on the outer side of the front end of the right band 57, and holes 58 a, 58 b, 58 c are provided on the front end longitudinal direction of the left band 58. For example, the protrusion 57a is inserted into the hole 58b, and the right band 57 and the left band 58 are connected to each other at the rear part of the neck.

Next, a case where the table / napkin support 50 is attached to the user will be described.
First, in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the mounting means 51 is hung in front of the user's chest, the right band 57 and the left band 58 of the holding means 56 are expanded left and right, and the expanded right band 57 and left band 58 are used. Turn around the person's neck. At this time, if the protrusion is inserted into the hole, the protrusion is removed from the hole.
Next, in accordance with the thickness of the user's neck, the protrusion 57a is inserted into any of the holes 58a, 58b, 58c, and the right belt 57 and the left belt 58 are connected behind the neck. That is, the dimension of the ring (neck ring) formed by the right band 57 and the left band 58 around the neck is adjusted by a combination insertion in which the protrusion 57a is inserted into any of the holes 58a, 58b, 58c. This protrusion / hole combination insertion configuration corresponds to the neckline adjusting means. This neckline adjusting means has the advantage that it can be adjusted to the thickness of the user's neck.
In other words, by providing the neck ring adjusting means, the placing means 51 is lifted according to the thickness of the user's neck, and the placing means 51 is deployed at a downward angle of about 15 degrees with respect to the horizontal. It can be said that it can be held.

With the above operation, as shown in FIG. 15, the chest portion 52 of the placing means 51 hits the chest of the user 6, the placing means 51 is supported, and the placing means 51 is placed under the mouth of the user 6. Held in front of the chest. Then, the expanded napkin 1 is placed on the receiving portion 54 of the placing means 51, and the mounting operation of the table / napkin support 50 is completed.
Note that the configuration in which the mounting means 51 is deployed at a downward angle of approximately 15 degrees with respect to the horizontal, specifically, as shown in FIG. The configuration is developed at a downward angle of about 15 degrees. Similarly, as shown by a broken line in FIG. 15, the napkin 1 is also expanded in a ski jumping table shape along the inner surface of the receiving portion 54, and the napkin 1 as a whole is developed approximately 15 degrees downward with respect to the horizontal. It is placed.
Also in the present embodiment, the ski jumping base-shaped receiving part 54 that jumps toward the front tip prevents the napkin 1 from slipping and collects solid food spills that are easy to roll off with the napkin 1. To do. Further, the edge portion 55 prevents the napkin 1 from falling off and prevents the collected food spilled material from falling out.
On the other hand, the operation of removing the table / napkin support 40 is the reverse operation described above.

  As described above, in the table / napkin support 50 according to the present embodiment, the front of the chest below the mouth of the user 6 is held by the holding means 56 and the placing means 51 is at a downward angle of about 15 degrees with respect to the horizontal. And the napkin 1 placed on the placing means 51 is supported at a position near the lower mouth at a downward angle of about 15 degrees with respect to the horizontal, and the napkin 1 reliably collects food spills. It is possible to prevent soiling of clothes and at the same time preventing soiling of floors and the like.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 15, the table / napkin support 50 of the present embodiment is configured to support the mounting means at one place on the chest where the neck recess 53 does not contact the neck of the user 6. However, as in the above-described fourth embodiment, a configuration in which the placing means is supported at two places of the chest and neck where the neck recess 53 is also applied to the neck is possible. With such a table / napkin support that has two chest / neck support configurations, the mounting means can be held more securely, and food spillage can be ensured from the gap between the table / napkin support and the neck. There are advantages such as preventing.
Further, since it is made of synthetic resin, it is possible to make the table / napkin support 50 bright and have a pleasant color and design, and there is an advantage that it can be used to change the mood of the user 6.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the table / napkin support 50 is configured to be unfolded and held at a downward angle of approximately 15 degrees with respect to the horizontal under the user's mouth. If the table / napkin support 50 is configured to hold the table / napkin support 50 downward at about 15 degrees below the mouth, the space between the user's mouth and the cradle 54 is widened, so that the user can easily eat. In addition, there is an advantage that the caregiver is easy to serve when a meal is given to the care recipient.

The table / napkin support 50 according to the present embodiment may be configured to be deployed at a substantially horizontal angle in front of the chest, like the table / napkin support 40 according to the fourth embodiment.
It is also possible to manufacture the table / napkin support 50 by using a table / napkin support 50 that expands at any downward angle in the range of 10 degrees to 40 degrees. However, it is desirable to avoid a table / napkin support that deploys with a downward angle exceeding 40 degrees because it is difficult to reliably collect spilled food. It is also possible to manufacture L-size, M-size, and S-size tables and napkin supports according to the size of the user's body.

16 is a perspective view showing a table / napkin support according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 17 is a side view showing a mounted state of the table / napkin support of FIG.
The table / napkin support 60 of this embodiment includes a mounting means 61 and a holding means 66, and the mounting means 61 is engaged with the holding means 66, and the mounting means 61 is used by the user by the holding means 66. 6 is configured to be held at a substantially horizontal angle in front of the chest under the mouth.
The mounting means 61 is supported by a chest portion 62 that contacts the chest, a neck portion 63 that is formed in a substantially semicircular shape and contacts the neck, and the chest portion 62 and the neck portion 63. In order to prevent the napkin 1 from falling on the edge of the cradle 64, a cradle 64 as a receiving part that unfolds in front of the chest under the mouth of the user 6 to place the expanded napkin 1 (not shown). And a bowl-shaped edge 65. In the present embodiment, the fourth embodiment, and the fifth embodiment, an edge portion is provided to prevent the napkin from falling. However, in addition to this edge configuration, a configuration that uses a magnet, a clip, or the like to prevent the napkin from falling. (Not shown) is also possible.

It should be noted that not only the neck holder 63 is in contact with the neck, but a part of the receiving part 64 or the edge 65 in the vicinity of the neck holder 63 may be in contact with the neck or shoulder. 63 also includes a cradle 64 and an edge 65 that abut the neck and shoulder.
Further, the cradle part 64 of the present embodiment is formed in a ski jump base shape having a concave portion (not shown) with a gentler curve than the cradle part 54 described above. The edge portion 65 rises at an acute angle from the edge and is formed at a height of about 2 to 3 cm.

On the other hand, the holding means 66 includes a string 67 serving as a turning portion that is turned around the neck, a movable tool 68 through which the string 67 is passed, and a preventing tool 69 provided in the middle of the string 67. The anti-extraction tool 69 is a means for preventing the movable tool 68 from coming off the string 67 when the movable tool 68 is moved (in the direction of the arrow X in FIGS. 16 and 9) to enlarge the neckline. . The anti-extraction tool 69 is also a picking means for pulling the string 67 when the movable tool 68 is moved (in the direction of the arrow Y in FIGS. 16 and 10) to reduce the size of the neck ring. In addition, the part of the anti-proofing tool 69 that pulls the string 67 can be on the side of the neck.
Then, a string 67 is tied to a hole 65 a formed in the edge portion 65 of the placing means 61, and the placing means 61 and the holding means 66 are engaged.
In addition, the structure (not shown) which hooks the hook (not shown) connected to the end of the string 67 to the hole 65a and engages the mounting means 61 and the holding means 66 may be used.

The mounting operation of the table / napkin support 60 of the present embodiment is the same as that of the table / napkin support of the fourth and fifth embodiments, and the description thereof is omitted.
As described above, the expanded napkin 1 can be supported at a substantially horizontal angle in front of the chest of the user 6 and at a position close to the mouth of the user 6 by the table / napkin support 60 of the present embodiment. . Thereby, collection of food spills by the napkin 1 is performed reliably, and dirt on clothes, floors and the like can be prevented.

By the way, the table / napkin support 60 of the present embodiment is provided with angle adjusting means for adjusting the angle at which the placing means 61 is deployed and held in front of the chest by changing the way it contacts the body. This configuration and operation will be described.
18 is a side view for explaining a case where the angle of the breast support shown in FIG. 16 is adjusted, and FIG. 19 is a state in which the table / napkin support of FIG. 16 is attached to the user 6 sleeping on the bed. FIG.
The angle adjusting means of the present embodiment is constituted by a breast contact portion 62 that is rotatably engaged with the edge portion 65 of the placing means 61. The structure of the rotatable breast support 62 includes, for example, a rotating mechanism with tightening. Specifically, a corrugated spring washer or a rubber seat is inserted between the rotating and sliding chest contact portion 62 and the edge portion 65, and the chest force must be applied by using the frictional force. This is a rotating mechanism having a resistance that is weak enough that the contact portion 62 does not rotate. Further, a rotation mechanism that can be stopped in stages by providing a latch may be used.

Then, when the edge portion 65 or the pedestal portion 64 of the placement means 61 is pushed in the direction of the arrow S shown in FIG. Can be held.
That is, by properly adjusting the angle of the placing means 61 that is deployed and held in front of the chest according to the user's 6 posture / body / request, etc., the collection of food spilled items is ensured. Can do.
Further, if the chest abutment part 62 is pressed and the cradle part 64 is lifted, the placing means 61 can be turned upward, returned to the original position as shown in FIG. 17, and deployed at a substantially horizontal angle.
In other words, the angle of the mounting means 61 can be adjusted so that the user can easily eat and the caregiver can easily serve the cared person, and the table / napkin support is easy to use. It becomes. In addition, if the breast contact part 62 is rotated and the angle of the mounting means 61 is adjusted, the position of the breast contact part 62 that touches the chest will be changed, that is, the way of hitting the body will be changed.

  As shown in FIG. 18, when the mounting means 61 is held at a downward angle, the mounting means 61 is moved by moving the position of the neck abutment 63 against the neck or the position of the string 67 around the neck upward. Since it is held at a position closer to the mouth of the user 6, it is desirable because the food spill can be collected more reliably. Further, it can be said that when the position wound around the neck of the string 67 is moved, the neck ring adjusting means including the movable tool 68 functions effectively.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 19, the table / napkin support 60 of this embodiment is convenient when the user 6 sleeping on the bed 5 eats.
When the user 6 sleeping in the bed 5 eats, the user does not necessarily get up completely from the bed 5 and sit down with the back vertical (that is, the vertical angle of the back muscles). On the other hand, there is a case where a person eats in a posture in which he / she lies at an angle of approximately 60 degrees (ie, a posture in which the spine angle is inclined approximately 30 degrees).
In this case, the angle of the mounting means 61 can be adjusted downward (in the direction of the arrow T in FIG. 19), and the mounting means 61 can be deployed and held horizontally or at a predetermined downward angle. If the table / napkin support is not provided with the angle adjusting means, the placing means 61 is in a state of jumping up, and it is difficult to collect spilled food in a sleeping position.

By adjusting the angle adjusting means as described above, the probability of collecting food spills by the napkin 1 can be increased even when the user 6 is sleeping on the bed 5.
By the way, adjusting the angle of the mounting means by the angle adjusting means means that the mounting means (that is, the napkin) is out of the range of the spilled food so as to surely collect the food spilled food (food and drink fallen objects). By supporting the mounting means (that is, the napkin) at a substantially horizontal angle or the like so that the captured food spilled material does not further roll down. is there.

In addition, it is possible to provide the angle adjusting means of the present embodiment in the configurations of the first to third embodiments. The angle adjusting means is provided to adjust the angle of the placing means, and the outer periphery of the placing means is eaten or consumed. Distribute outside the range of falling objects. As a result, the napkin can be expanded beyond the range of falling food / drink objects, and the food / food falling objects collected on the napkin can be set at an angle that does not fall further. It becomes possible to collect.
In this case, the content of the angle that is deployed and held in front of the chest of the mounting means of the present embodiment is the same as the angle that is attached to the vicinity of the mouth of the mounting means in the first to third embodiments. Yes, in claim 6, it is expressed as a unified angle as the mounting means on the wearer.
Further, when the mounting means 61 is molded from a synthetic resin, for example, there are melanin resin and ABS resin. If it is made of such a resin, it is possible to make the mounting means 61 with various colors and designs, and to print beautiful and fun patterns, which can meet various needs.

20 is a perspective view showing a table / napkin support according to a seventh embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 21 is a side view showing the table / napkin support of FIG. 20 in a mounted state.
The configuration and operation of the table / napkin support of the present embodiment are substantially the same as those of the table / napkin support of the fifth embodiment, and the configuration and operation different from those of the fifth embodiment will be described below.

  The table / napkin support 70 according to the present embodiment includes a container-shaped (deep dish-shaped) mounting means 71 formed from synthetic resin or recycled paper, and a mounting means 71 formed from synthetic resin or recycled paper. The holding means 76 is attached to the body by turning the holding means 76 around the neck, and the mounting means 71 is placed in front of the chest of the user 6 and approximately 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The napkin 1 is held by the holding means 76 so as to be unfolded at a downward angle, and the napkin 1 placed on the placing means 71 is supported at a downward angle of about 30 degrees in order to collect the spilled food of the user 6. Examples of the synthetic resin include polypropylene / polyamide. In addition, the downward angle of approximately 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal described in this specification refers to a downward angle in the range of 25 to 35 degrees with respect to the horizontal.

The mounting means 71 is supported by the chest portion 72 where the chest of the user 6 hits, the neck recess 73 formed by being recessed in a substantially semicircular shape to match the neck shape of the user 6, and the chest portion 72. And a pan 74 as a receiving portion that is deployed at a downward angle of about 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal in front of the chest below the mouth of the user 6 so that the napkin 1 (not shown) can be placed thereon. .
Note that the configuration in which the tray 74 is deployed at a downward angle of approximately 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal, specifically, as shown in FIG. 21, the upper edge 74a of the tray 74 is downward with approximately 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal. It is the structure expanded at an angle.
In addition, since the tray 74 is formed as an oval or elliptical substantially hemispherical vessel (deep dish), it has an edge portion that prevents the napkin 1 from falling and a recess portion that prevents the spilled food from falling down. It can be said that this is the configuration.

On the other hand, the holding means 76 has a right band 77 as a turning part turned to the right side of the neck and a left band 78 as a turning part turned to the left side of the neck. The right side band 77 and the left side band 78 are separated at a portion where the rear part of the neck hits. The separation structure of the holding means 76 of the present embodiment has an advantage that the table / napkin support can be easily attached as compared with the protrusion / hole insertion structure of the holding means 56 of the fifth embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 21, the shape of the chest contact portion 72 in contact with the chest and the shapes of the lower edges 77a and 78a of the right side belt 77 and the left side belt 78 in contact with the neck and shoulder are lines such as the chest, neck, and shoulder. It is desirable to form in a shape that follows the above. This is because the mounting means 71 of the table / napkin support 70 is securely held in front of the chest of the user 6 at a downward angle of about 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal.

When the table / napkin support 70 is attached to the user 6, it is as follows.
Using the elasticity of the holding means 76, the right band 77 and the left band 78 are opened to the left and right, and each is wrapped around the neck and closed. The chest support 72 is applied to the chest to support the tray 74, and the table / napkin support 70 hangs about 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal as shown in FIG. Hold in the state. Then, the napkin 1 (illustrated by a broken line) is placed on the table / napkin support 70 in a downward direction about 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal, and the mounting operation is completed.
In addition, as shown by a broken line in FIG. 21, the napkin 1 is expanded in a substantially hemispherical shape along the inner surface of the tray 74. However, the napkin 1 as a whole is expanded in a downward direction by about 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal. Is placed.

As described above, according to the table / napkin support 70 of the present embodiment, the napkin 1 can be spread in front of the user's chest and supported at a position near the mouth below about 30 degrees below the horizontal. it can. As a result, it is possible to reliably collect food spilled items with the napkin 1, and to prevent soiling of clothes, floors, etc. by the napkin 1.
In addition, since the mounting means 71 has a bowl shape, even if the user moves a little or tilts the upper body, it is possible to reliably collect food spills.
Further, since the napkin 1 is placed approximately 30 degrees downward with respect to the horizontal, the table / napkin support 70 becomes substantially horizontal even when used in a posture lying on the bed at an angle of approximately 30 degrees. That is, with the table / napkin support 70 of the present embodiment, the napkin 1 eats both in the posture in the bed and the posture in the bed without adjusting the deployment holding angle of the mounting means 71. There is an advantage that the collection of spilled material is ensured.

By the way, the reason for holding at a downward angle of about 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal is that (1) the space between the mouth (mouth) and the table / napkin support is moderately widened, and the user can easily eat (2 ) When a meal is given to a cared person, the caregiver is easy to serve. (3) Even if angle adjustment is not performed as in Example 6, the person lay down at an angle of approximately 30 degrees with the posture that occurred vertically in the bed. It is because it is used for both posture.
Note that an angle smaller than about 30 degrees cannot be obtained due to a burden on the hips and lower back. On the other hand, an angle larger than about 30 degrees is excessively laid and may cause accidental ingestion, so about 30 degrees is desirable.

FIG. 22 is a perspective view showing a table / napkin support according to an eighth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 23 is a perspective view showing the table / napkin support of FIG. 22 in a mounted state.
The table / napkin support 80 of the present embodiment includes a mounting means 81 formed from a synthetic resin or the like, and a holding means 86 formed from a string, a rope, a strip, or the like such as a fiber or a synthetic resin. It is configured to be wrapped around the neck of the user 6 and connected to the mounting means 81, and the mounting means 81 is held by the holding means 86 in front of the chest below the mouth of the user 6. Examples of the synthetic resin for the mounting means 81 include melanin resin and polycarbonate resin.

  The mounting means 81 is formed in a substantially semicircular shape in accordance with the base shape of the neck of the user 6, and a neck rest portion 83 that abuts the neck (including the shoulder), and is supported by the neck rest portion 83. A receiving part 84 as a receiving part that is deployed at a substantially horizontal angle in front of the chest under the mouth of the user 6 so that the expanded napkin 1 (not shown) is placed on the edge of the receiving part 84 It has a bowl-shaped edge 85 provided.

On the other hand, the holding means 86 includes a right cord 87 as a turning portion for turning the neck from right to left, a plurality of fixing tools 88 fixed to the right cord 87 at predetermined intervals, and a turning portion for turning the neck from left to right. Left-hand string 89 and a plurality of fixtures 90 fixed to the left-hand string 89.
Then, for example, one end of the right string 87 is tied to a hole 85 a formed in the edge 85, and a fixture 88 fixed to the other end of the right string 87 is hooked in a groove 85 c formed in the edge 85. In addition, one end of the left-hand string 89 is tied to the hole 85b, and the fixture 90 on the other end of the left-hand string 89 is hooked on the groove hole 85d to engage the mounting means 81 and the holding means 86. By this engagement, the holding means 86 is configured to hold the placing means 81 under the mouth of the user 6.

Next, a case where the table / napkin support 80 is attached to the user will be described.
First, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 22, the right string 87 of the holding means 86 is extended, and it is rotated from the right back of the neck of the user 6 and brought to the left front. Then, the right string 87 is passed through the left front slot 85c of the edge 85, and the fixture 88 is hooked into the slot 85c. Similarly, the left side string 89 is stretched and turned from the left rear side of the neck and brought to the right front side, and the fixing tool 90 is hooked through the left side string 89 in the right front slot 85d. At this time, the right string 87 and the left string 89 are crossed behind the neck. It is also possible to provide a separate string support tool (not shown) that supports both strings by placing them behind the crossed necks.
In addition, stabilization of the holding | maintenance of the holding means 86 is aimed at by making it cross. In addition, the groove width of the groove hole 85 is set so as to allow the strings 87 and 89 to pass but not the fixture 90.

By the above operation, as shown in FIG. 23, the neck portion 83 of the placing means 81 abuts on the neck or shoulder of the user 6 to support the placing means 81, and the right string 87 of the holding means 86 and The cradle part 84 of the placing means 81 is held in front of the chest under the mouth of the user 6 by the left string 89. Then, the expanded napkin 1 is placed on the cradle part 84, and the mounting operation of the table / napkin support 80 is completed.
On the other hand, the operation of removing the table / napkin support 80 is the reverse operation described above.

  As described above, in the table / napkin support 80 according to the present embodiment, the expanded napkin 1 is placed on the mounting means 81 that is deployed and held in front of the chest under the user's mouth by the holding means 86. Can be supported near the mouth. As a result, the spilled food is surely collected by the napkin 1, and the clothes can be prevented from being stained and the floor and the like can be prevented from being stained.

By the way, in this embodiment, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 23, the fixture 90b of the left-hand string 89 is hooked in the right front slot 85d. Here, if the fixing tool 90a, not the fixing tool 90b, is hooked in the slot 85d, the entire length of the left-hand string 89 that holds the cradle portion 84 is shortened. Moreover, if the fixing tool 90c is hooked in the slot 85d, the full length of the left side string 89 will become long.
In other words, the length of the string can be adjusted by changing the fixture hooked in the slot, and the size of the neck ring can be adjusted to the thickness of the user's neck. The combination hook configuration of the fixture / slot hole of this embodiment corresponds to a neck ring adjusting means for adjusting a neck ring formed by a holding means for turning the user's neck.

On the other hand, after adjusting the overall length of the string with a predetermined combination of the fixture and the slot, and expanding and holding the mounting means 81 at a substantially horizontal angle, changing the combination of the fixture and the slot and increasing the overall length of the string, The placing means 81 rotates and hangs around the neck portion 83 (contact portion thereof) as a fulcrum. That is, the mounting means 81 can be held at a downward angle of about 15 degrees or about 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal. Therefore, the combination hook configuration of the fixture / slot hole according to this embodiment also corresponds to an angle adjusting means for adjusting the angle of deployment and holding in front of the chest of the mounting means by changing the contact with the body.
If the holding angle is adjusted by changing the overall length of the string, the angle of hitting the neck of the neck abutting portion 83 changes, that is, the relationship of hitting the body changes.
Further, the cradle part 84 of the mounting means 81 of the present embodiment has a flat shape, and when adjusting the angle at which the cradle part 84 is held, the height of the edge 85 is 3 to 5 cm. It is desirable that the spilled material is prevented from spilling over by making it as large as possible and providing a recess (not shown) in the mounting means 81 as in the fifth embodiment.

  The table / napkin support device according to the present invention can reliably collect food and drink fallen objects with the napkin and prevent soiling of clothes and floors. is there.
