Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Problem] For those whose hands and fingers have begun to harden, the hands and fingers can be naturally and freely held by themselves, and they will not drop spoons or forks. It would be good if there was a band made of a suitable material. When a handle of a spoon or a fork is gripped in a natural manner, it is understood that the thumb and the middle finger touch the handle. For those with weak muscles, instead of forcibly gripping like a fist bone, having the thumb and middle finger wrapped in a soft plastic band can be judged as a natural way of holding as care assistance.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 In the present invention, the user uses the thumb and middle finger so that the handle can be gripped so that the user can eat the food in a natural way without dropping the spoon or fork, and the auxiliary band is slid left and right. It is a meal assistance band for the purpose of nursing care for people with different hands and fingers.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 There are handle-type spoons and forks with protrusions to prevent slipping, and holder-type bands that completely tie up the hands, but both allow you to eat while holding the fist bone. It can only be done, and your hands and fingers remain rigid and not free.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The caregiver is stiff and crippled, so I want to be able to eat without dropping a spoon or fork by simply inserting my thumb and middle finger.

[0004] A dietary assist band that can be moved to the left and right has been devised so that it can be adapted to people with different hand and finger sizes. .

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 A thumb band 2 and a middle finger band 3 are attached to a handle 1 of a spoon or fork to attach a thumb band 2 and a middle finger band 3 as a meal assisting band, so that a natural movement can be performed by a user. The auxiliary band is made of soft plastic so that each of them can be moved left and right with their fingers inserted, and the collar 4 makes it difficult to move easily with trivial force.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 First, insert a soft plastic band from the end of the handle of the spoon or fork into the middle finger band with one of the auxiliary bands facing down, and then as the thumb band, insert the other auxiliary band facing up. Then, insert the other half of the middle finger auxiliary band, and finally insert the other part of the thumb auxiliary band. If you put your thumb and middle finger in the spoon or fork with the auxiliary band as described above, it will fit the size of your hand or finger, and you will not have to worry about dropping.

[0007]

【Example】

 As shown in Fig. 3, neither the thumb nor the middle finger is in an unreasonable state, and since the auxiliary bands can slide to the left and right, even people with different finger thicknesses can loosen and tighten, so a spoon or fork can be used. You can eat without worrying about dropping.

[0008]

[Effect of the invention]

 As the hands and fingers begin to stiffen, the fingers gradually bend inward from the extended state. It is clear how painful it is to use a spoon or fork with the squeeze on the fistula, as evidenced by the healing effects of flexion and extension. The present invention is a meal assisting band that gently wraps around the thumb and middle finger and holds a spoon or fork to assist muscle strength with free fingertips.
