JP2012170804A - Dish easily scooped one-handed - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the following problem that there is a conventional technique devised so that a base with a supporter is arranged on a dining table and a dish is attached to the supporter thereby allowing a user to eat a meal without spilling, however the supporter needs to be adjusted in height and angle to require time and labor, and also a sitting position cannot be freely changed without moving the base.SOLUTION: Slight inclination is provided on the bottom of the generally used dish. As a result, when the user eats a meal, food is moved from the higher part to the lower part of the inclination and gathered in a formed recess, and the food in the recess is not spread out. Using the above fact, the meal is easily scooped, and at the same time, scooping is more easily performed by putting rubber on the back of the bowl to stabilize the bowl.

Description

The present invention relates to a tableware for a person who eats with one hand, and mainly targets a tableware for a person who uses a spoon to eat a liquid meal, a mixer meal, and a very small meal.
Specifically, it is easy to collect by tilting the tableware slightly, it is easy to crawl by providing a dent, and it is difficult to move by sticking rubber on the bottom and it is related to the tableware that is easy to crawl with one hand

There is a tabletop for the physically handicapped that has been devised so that people who eat with one hand can eat easily without worrying about spilling when eating. This is equipped with a base that is placed on the table, a rotating basin that is rotatably mounted on the table, and a column that is erected on the central member, and one or more vertically movable arms that are movably mounted on the column. There is a thing provided with the tableware holding part assembled | attached rotatably around the horizontal spindle. (For example, see Patent Document 1)
JP-A-9-168466

  Although the precedent technology described above has a base on the dining table, and a base with a rotatable table attached to the base, it is devised so that people who eat with one hand can eat without spilling. The table must be fixed on the table, and the height and angle of the columns and the installation of tableware must be adjusted, making it difficult to change the location of the meal.

When a meal is made by attaching a slight inclination to the bottom of a dish or western tableware generally used to achieve the above-mentioned problem, the food gathers in a depression provided by moving from a higher inclination to a lower one, It makes it easier to crawl food by making use of the fact that it does not spread to the surroundings when the food in the pit crawls, and at the same time sticking rubber on the back of the tableware to stabilize the tableware makes it easier to pick up food.

By slightly tilting the tableware, the food inside gathers on the opposite side of the arm where it can move, and there is a depression at the gathered position, so there is no need to naturally enter the depression.

The food gathered in the dent does not move when it crawls, so it is easy to enter the spoon, and if you use the surrounding edges, it will go more smoothly.

The rubber on the back of the tableware makes it easy to eat with one hand because it fixes the tableware when you sip it with a spoon.

Speaking yourself and ingesting meals keeps your meal pace and prevents aspiration

With the space between the bottom and the back, you can keep a little warm.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The material of the dish may be pottery, ceramic, hard plastic, paper, etc. as long as food is not leaked, but it is desirable that the material be more suitable for the place of use. For example, hospitals handle a large amount of tableware and are fragile, and the hygiene management is strict. Therefore, ceramics that are resistant to shock and withstand disinfection are good.

The dish is preferably round or oval because it is easy to clean, has no corners, and does not leave dirt. The overall shape of the bottom 1 should be a stable object that is not extremely small like a teacup and does not have much difference in vertical size.

FIG. 2 is a side view of the dish. Tableware that is easy to crawl with one hand has an inclined bottom 1. By tilting the bottom 1, the food moves in one direction, so there is no need to collect it. The bottom 1 slope is intended to allow food to gather naturally on the left for those using the right hand while eating with one hand, and for those using the left on the right. The angle is preferably about 3 degrees from 4 toward the opposite edge 2 of the recess 4. If it is this angle, there will be no problem in arrangement.

During the meal, food gathers naturally in the opposite of the dominant hand. Right-handed people gather in the left dent 4, and left-handed people gather in the right dent 4. The food gathered in the dent 4 is not spread all over and is easy to crawl with one hand. For unshaped food such as a mixer meal, use the edge 8 around the recess to apply a spoon to the edge 8 and pull the food while pulling forward, or press it against the front, or press the edge 8 It is easier to crawl when it is lifted so as to rub against it at a right angle.

The size of the recess 4 is such that a spoon can be inserted, and it is about 5 cm along the peripheral edge 8 with a width of about 3 cm and a depth of about 0.5 to 1 cm. The edge 8 around the dent does not have to spill when an angle close to 90 to 100 degrees is put in a spoon.

The rim 2 can be seen clearly with the food at about 100 degrees wider than the bottom 1. The depth of the edge 2 does not spill when crawling with a spoon of about 3 cm to 4 cm, and the movement of the hand does not have to be obstructed.

A space 7 between the bottom 1 and the back 5 of the tableware is formed because the bottom 1 is inclined by about 3 degrees. With this space 7, a little warm food can be kept warm and a cold food can be kept cold.

It is desirable that the rubber 6 to be attached to the back surface 5 is a rubber that is resistant to moisture and heat and is attached to the back surface 5 with an adhesive that does not easily peel off. The purpose of the rubber 6 is to prevent it from moving even if extra force is applied when the tableware is put on the table and eaten with a spoon. For that purpose, it is effective to stick adhesive rubber on the entire back.
If you can't put rubber on the back of the tableware, you may put a commercially available anti-slip rubber.

Claims (1)

When a meal is made by attaching a slight inclination to the bottom of a commonly used dish or western-style tableware, the food gathers in a dent that is moved from a higher inclination to a lower one, and the food in the dent crawls It is easy to crawl with one hand that makes it easier to pick up food by making it easier to pick up food by making use of the fact that it does not spread around and making rubber stable on the back of the tableware.
