[0002]

[Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and devices]

 As a spoon for the physically handicapped, the shank between the head of the spoon and the grip is bent so that the tip of the head is about 40 degrees to the front, making it easier to scoop soup and rice, There are fixed curved spoons that are easy to carry and spoons that are formed so that only the tip of the shank can be bent at a desired angle with respect to the axis to maintain this bent state. Depending on the degree of touch of each person, for example, the shank part is bent and deformed so that the position of the head part of the spoon with respect to the grip part is formed into a desired angular position in a stepped state. There was no omnidirectional spoon for disabled people that could maintain

The inventor forms a deformed portion between the head of the spoon and the grip body into a narrow width long flat plate, and continuously twists the narrow width plate at a substantially equal interval. We have developed a spawn for persons with disabilities who can bend each twisted part in the entire circumferential direction from the top and maintain that bending state, making it suitable for the touch of each person with disabilities and easy to eat. We have completed a spoon for people with disabilities that can be transformed.
