2. Description of the Related Art It is considered that a proper way of holding chopsticks satisfies the following requirements (a) to (g). That is, (a) the lower chopsticks (hereinafter, referred to as “lower chopsticks”), a part of the hand side is sandwiched between the bases of the thumb and the index finger, whereby a part of the chopstick tip is the first finger of the ring finger. It is supported at the upper part of the flank slightly ahead of the joint. (B) The upper chopsticks (hereinafter referred to as "upper chopsticks") have a part of the hand side extending from the abdomen near the second joint of the index finger to the abdomen of the fingertip or the abdomen near the first joint of the middle finger, and the thumb. Is supported by being slightly clamped in the abdomen from the first joint to the fingertip. (C) The lower chopsticks are kept almost immobile. (D) The operation of the chopsticks is mainly performed by moving the index finger and the upper chopsticks. At this time, the thumb is only applied lightly. (E) The angle of the thumb from the chopstick tip side to the lower chopsticks is 60
~ 80 degrees. (F) The angle of the thumb to the upper chopsticks as viewed from the end of the chopsticks is about 9
0 degrees. (G) The degree of freedom of the index finger and the middle finger is largely guaranteed.

On the other hand, as an example of an undesirable way of holding chopsticks, there is a problem that upper chopsticks are caught by lower chopsticks.

[0004] As a conventional training tool for holding chopsticks in consideration of such problems, there is, for example, a training tool 80 shown in FIG.

[0005] The training tool 80 includes an upper chopstick H1 and a lower chopstick H
2 and is made of hard plastic in order to keep the distance between the upper chopstick H1 and the lower chopstick H2 constant.
More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, the training tool 80 includes fitting holes 81 and 82 for fitting the upper chopstick H1 and the lower chopstick H2, and the upper chopstick H1. An interval holding portion 83 for keeping the interval with the lower chopstick H2 constant is formed integrally. Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the interval holding portion 83 is formed to be circular and wide in order to easily support the abdomen of the thumb 91.

This solves the problem that the upper chopstick H1 and the lower chopstick H2 get stuck even if the upper chopstick H1 is moved by the index finger 92 and the middle finger 93, and the correct holding method is learned by the training tool 80. You can do it.

[0007]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional training tool for holding chopsticks, there is only one size product as a product, regardless of whether it is used by infants, school children or adults. Therefore, there is a problem that it is not enough to learn how to hold the chopsticks correctly according to the size of the hand.

A training tool 10 for holding chopsticks (hereinafter, simply referred to as “practicing tool”) 10 in the present embodiment is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, the upper and lower chopsticks H1 and H2 as the upper and lower chopsticks H1 and H2, respectively, can be freely attached by being inserted into the pair of chopsticks H.

That is, the training tool 10 is shown in FIG.
As shown in (b), the chopstick interval holding portions 1 are formed in an annular shape for holding the interval between the upper chopstick H1 and the lower chopstick H2, and are formed at both ends of the chopstick interval holding portion 1, respectively. It has a main body 4 having chopstick inserts 2 and 3.

In the present embodiment, the chopstick interval holding section 1 has, for example, an annular hole 1a formed in a horizontally long rectangular ring extending from the front to the back. However, the shape is not limited to a rectangular ring, and may be a ring such as a ring or an ellipse, or a ring such as a polygonal ring.

In the present embodiment, the chopstick inserts 2 and 3 are provided with rectangular chopstick insert holes 2a and 3a in accordance with the chopstick H having a rectangular cross section. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIGS.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), the main body 4 in which the chopstick interval holding section 1 and the chopstick insert sections 2 and 3 are integrally formed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the chopstick interval holding portion 1 and the chopstick insertion portions 2 and 3 can be formed separately.

The main body 4 is made of a soft material such as rubber or soft resin. However, as for this soft material, it is sufficient that at least the chopstick interval holding portion 1 is made of a soft material, and it is not always necessary that the entire main body 4 is made of a soft material.

That is, as described later, a substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 2 is provided in the annular hole 1a of the annular chopstick interval holding portion 1.
1 and the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22 are inserted horizontally or vertically,
The chopstick interval holding portion 1 only needs to have such a softness that it can be inserted.

The above substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 is shown in FIG.
(B) As shown in (c), it is made of a hard member,
For example, the width w is w ₁ = 10 mm and the height h is h ₁ = 5 m
m. The depth is shown in FIG.
And has the same size as the depth of the main body 4 shown in FIG. Further, the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 is chamfered at a corner portion so as to be easily inserted into the annular hole 1a.

Here, in the present embodiment, FIG.
(B) As shown in (c), a substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22 having a size different from that of the above substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 is prepared.

The dimensions of the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22 are such that the width w is a rectangular parallelepiped having a width w ₂ = 15 mm and the height h is h ₁ = 5 mm, and only the width w is longer than that of the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21. Has become.

That is, in the present embodiment, the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 is for infants and school children, and the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22 is for junior high schools or adults. Is prepared.

However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example,
For example, the width w may be 7 mm and the height h may be 3 mm for infants and school children, and the width w may be 15 mm and the height h may be 12 mm for junior high school or adults. Thereby, a total of four types of dimensions can be applied in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. As a result, if these two types of substantially rectangular parallelepiped members are prepared, there is an advantage that they can be applied to a wider range of hand sizes. come. Note that the above 2
The type does not need to be limited to the above dimensions, and other combinations of dimensions can be employed. Furthermore, it is not particularly limited to two types, and may be three or more types.

A method of using the training device 10 having the above configuration will be described.

First, as shown in FIG. 6, the upper chopstick H1 is inserted into the chopstick insertion hole 2a of the main body 4 of the training device 10, and the lower chopstick H2 is inserted into the chopstick insertion hole 3a. Then, for example,
When the target person is an infant and has relatively large hands, FIG.
As shown in (a), the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 is fitted along the horizontally long annular hole 1a. Thereby, the upper chopstick H1
The distance between the object and the lower chopstick H2 is L1, which is a size corresponding to an infant with a relatively large hand.

Next, the training tool 10 attached to this state
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, the lower chopstick H2 is first sandwiched between the bases of the thumbs. Then, the entire finger pad of the thumb is brought into contact with the main body 4 of the exercise tool 10. At this time, the thumb is orthogonal to the upper chopstick H1 because the thumb is along the main body 4. Then, place the finger pad near the tip of the ring finger on the lower chopstick H
Contact 2

The upper chopstick H1 is gripped by three fingertips of the abdomen near the first joint of the thumb, the middle finger and the index finger. Thus, the relationship between the lower chopstick H2, the upper chopstick H1, and the thumb is
It is set so as to maintain a triangle having an angle as shown in FIG. 7, and the chopstick H is held correctly.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, on the tip side of the upper chopstick H1, the abdomen near the second joint of the index finger extends from the abdomen near the second joint of the index finger to the abdomen near the first joint of the middle finger.

By gripping the upper chopstick H1 in this manner, the positional relationship between the three fingers of the thumb, the middle finger and the index finger and the upper chopstick H1 is set as described above, and a stable gripping state is achieved. The chopstick H1 can be freely operated with the index finger and the middle finger.

[0049] At this time, substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21, since made of a rigid member, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), is kept constant intervals L ₁ is between the upper chopsticks H1 and lower chopsticks H2 . Therefore, the upper chopstick H1 does not catch on the lower chopstick H2.

On the other hand, when the subject using the training tool 10 is an infant with a small hand, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), the training tool 10 is inserted into the circular hole 1a of the chopstick interval holding portion 1. The rectangular parallelepiped member 21 is rotated 90 degrees from the state shown in FIG. As a result, the horizontally formed annular hole 1a is forcibly made vertically long, so that the annular portion of the chopstick interval holding portion 1 projects up and down, and the distance L ₂ between the upper chopstick H1 and the lower chopstick H2 is increased.
Shrink to In addition, since the chopstick interval holding part 1 has sufficient softness and flexibility to rotate the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 by 90 degrees, the rotation of the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 can be easily performed.

As a result, even when the target person using the training tool 10 is an infant with a small hand, only by rotating the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21, the user can learn how to hold the correct chopstick H appropriate for the size of the hand. be able to.

On the other hand, in some cases, an adult may use the training tool 10. At that time, the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22 shown in FIGS. 5A, 5B, and 5C is inserted into the annular hole 1a of the chopstick interval holding portion 1. At this time, the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 2
2 has a larger width w than the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21, so that the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22 is inserted into the annular hole 1a in a state where the horizontal width of the annular hole 1a is extended.

[0053] Thus, between the upper chopsticks H1 and lower chopsticks H2 is held constant at long intervals L ₂ than the distance L _1. For this reason, even when the target person using the training tool 10 is an adult with a large hand, the user can learn how to hold the correct chopstick H according to the size of the hand simply by replacing the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 with the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22. can do.

As a result, in the training tool 10 of the present embodiment, from a small-handed infant to a large-handed adult, the main body 4 and the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 or the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 2 are provided.
2 can be easily handled. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately manufacture the main body 4 having a different size, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

As described above, the training device 10 of the present embodiment includes the main body 4 and the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 and / or the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22. The main body 4 is provided with an upper chopstick H
A chopstick interval holding portion 1 formed of a soft material and formed in an annular shape so as to maintain an interval between the chopsticks 1 and the lower chopstick H2; have. Further, the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 and the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22 are formed with the annular holes 1 a of the
Is inserted.

Thus, for example, when the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 is inserted horizontally into the annular hole 1a of the chopstick interval holding portion 1, it is possible to handle a person with a large hand.

On the other hand, from this state, the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 inserted into the annular hole 1a is rotated by 90 degrees. That is, since the chopstick interval holding portion 1 is made of a soft material,
The substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 inserted in a can be easily rotated 90 degrees. Then, this substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 is
By rotating by 0 degree, the annular hole 1a which has been in the horizontally long direction is now in the vertically long direction.

As a result, the interval between the upper chopstick H1 and the lower chopstick H2 becomes shorter than in the previous state, and it is possible to cope with a person with small hands.

As a result, by rotating the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 by 90 degrees, it is possible to cope with both people with large hands and people with small hands.

Accordingly, it is possible to provide the training tool 10 which can maintain the distance between the upper chopstick H1 and the lower chopstick H2 and can easily cope with the size of a hand from an infant to an adult.

In the training tool 10 of the present embodiment, a plurality of substantially rectangular parallelepiped members having different sizes, such as a substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 and a substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22, are provided.

That is, one substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 can be used in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. Further, by preparing a plurality of substantially rectangular parallelepiped members having different sizes, the upper chopstick H1 and the lower chopstick H1 can be used. The distance from the chopsticks H2 can be set to various dimensions. Also, at this time, since the chopstick interval holding portion 1 is made of a soft material, the substantially rectangular parallelepiped members 21 and 22 of any size are provided.
Can be easily inserted into the annular hole 1a even if it is inserted into the annular hole 1a, and the substantially rectangular parallelepiped members 21 and 22 can be easily rotated by 90 degrees.

Accordingly, it is possible to provide the training tool 10 which can easily cope with various hand sizes from infants to adults, while maintaining the shape of the main body 4 as it is.

In the present embodiment, the chopstick H and the training tool 10
Is formed separately, but is not necessarily limited to this, and the chopsticks H and the exercise tool 10 may be formed integrally.

[Second Embodiment] The following will describe another embodiment of the present invention with reference to FIGS. For convenience of explanation, the first embodiment is described.
Members having the same functions as the members shown in the drawings are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.

The substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 and the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22 in the training tool 30 according to the present embodiment have the configuration shown in FIG.
(B) As shown in (c), a flange portion 31 is provided on one side surface.

The flange portion 31 is formed of a hard plate, and is formed of a rectangular plate slightly larger than the rectangular shape on the front surface of the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 or 22.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10A, the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 or the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22 to which the flange 31 is attached is inserted into the annular hole 1a. The member 22 can be prevented from detaching from one side of the annular hole 1a.

The substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 or the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22 having a flange 31 attached to one side surface is formed into an annular hole 1.
In the case of insertion into a, the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 or the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22 is preferably inserted into the annular hole 1a so that the thumb comes into contact with the flange 31. As a result, the thumb presses the flange portion 31, so that the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 or the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22 can be reliably prevented from detaching from one side of the annular hole 1a.

On the other hand, the flange 31 is not necessarily limited to one side, but may be attached to both sides of the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 and the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22 as shown in FIGS. 9 (a), 9 (b) and 9 (c). It is possible.

As shown in FIG. 10B, the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 or the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22 to which the flanges 31 are attached is inserted into the annular hole 1a, thereby forming the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 or substantially rectangular member 21. The rectangular parallelepiped member 22 is
a can be prevented from detaching from either side.

When the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 or the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22 having the flange portions 31 attached to both sides is inserted into the annular hole 1a, the chopstick interval holding portion 1 is formed of a soft member. The substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 or the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22 having the flange portions 31 attached to both sides thereof can be relatively easily fitted into the annular hole 1a.

As described above, in the training tool 30 of the present embodiment, the substantially rectangular parallelepiped members 21 and 22 are provided with the flange portions 31 on one side surface or both side surfaces.

That is, since the annular hole 1a formed in the chopstick interval holding portion 1 is penetrated, when the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 and the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22 are fitted into the annular hole 1a, they may come off.

However, in the present embodiment, the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 and the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22 are provided with the flange portions 31 on one side surface or both side surfaces.

Therefore, when the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 and the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22 are fitted into the annular hole 1a, the flanges 31 formed on one or both side surfaces thereof are caught by the main body 4, so that the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member is 21 and the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22 can be prevented from falling out of the annular hole 1a.

As a result, it is possible to provide a training tool 30 with good handleability.

[Embodiment 3] The following will describe another embodiment of the present invention with reference to FIG. For convenience of explanation, members having the same functions as those shown in the drawings of the above-described first and second embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.

Accordingly, the training tool 40 can be easily handled by one main body 4 and the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 or 22 from infants with small hands to adults with large hands. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately manufacture the main body 4 having a different size, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

In the training tool 40 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11B, the main body 4 is formed thin so that the substantially rectangular parallelepiped members 21 and 22 have the same dimensions. It shall be formed thinly.

This is because the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 and the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22 are made of a hard material. If the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 and the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 22 are thick and the main body 4 is similarly thick, the upper chopstick H1 moves. This is because it becomes difficult.

As described above, in the training tool 40 of the present embodiment, the annular hole 41a of the chopstick interval holding portion 41 is formed vertically.

Thus, it is possible to provide a training tool 40 which can easily cope with various hand sizes by using one main body 4 and the substantially rectangular parallelepiped member 21 or 22.
