Description

  The present invention relates to a tableware such as a spoon or fork, and more particularly to a tableware suitable for use in meals for infants, caregivers and the like.

Traditionally, for infants and caregivers who cannot eat with chopsticks, spoons and forks are essential tableware. However, generally used spoons and forks have their shapes, and when placed on the table as they are, the scooping part (holding part) always comes into contact with the table. In particular, infants often put a spoon or fork on their table during their meals, so it is unsanitary for the ugly part of the mouth to touch the table. Solid food, soup, etc. adhere to the table and become dirty.
In particular, since infants often turn the scooping part upward during meals, soups are wet from the scooping part to the handle part and wet the hand of the infant.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and provides a sanitary tableware in which the holding portion does not come into contact with the table when placed on the table and the hands are not soiled with juice during the meal. The purpose is to do.

  That is, the device according to claim 1 is a tableware consisting of a holding portion for holding food and a handle portion connected to the holding portion, and a bowl-like body is provided on the handle portion, The holder is configured to be held in a non-contact state with the table by bringing the bowl and a part of the handle portion into contact with the table when placed.

  The invention described in claim 2 is characterized in that, in the tableware according to claim 1, a portion where the bowl-shaped body comes into contact with the table is concave.

  The invention described in claim 3 is a tableware according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the handle is curved so as to be convex upward when placed on the table face up. It is characterized by having.

  The invention described in claim 4 is characterized in that, in the tableware according to any one of claims 1 to 3, the holding portion is made of a spoon or a fork.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the tableware is placed on the table, the bowl and the part of the handle are in contact with the table to support the tableware in two places, and the holding unit is in contact with the table. Because it is in a state of being held, the holding part that makes the mouth does not touch the table, it is hygienic, and sticky solid food or soup adhering to the holding part adheres to the table and becomes dirty. Nor.
In addition, by providing a bowl-shaped body, the bowl-shaped body serves as a stopper when gripping the handle, preventing an infant or the like from inadvertently grasping the holding section directly, being hygienic, The inconvenience that the juices flow from the holding part to the handle part and stain the hand is eliminated.

  Further, according to the second aspect of the present invention, since the portion where the bowl-shaped body comes into contact with the table is concave, it comes into contact with the table at both ends of the bowl-shaped body, and is thus placed on the table. The stability of the tableware is improved.

  Further, according to the invention described in claim 3, since the handle portion is curved in a convex shape, when placed on the table face up, it becomes easier to put a finger in the central portion where the handle portion is raised. This makes it easier to grab a tableware.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a tableware according to the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

The present embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is a tableware suitable for meals for infants and caregivers, and includes a holding portion 1 that holds food and a handle portion 2 that is connected to the holding portion 1. Consists of a spoon.
As the material, synthetic resin such as ABS resin and AS resin, or seto, metal (SUS), etc. are used. When the handle 2 is placed on the table D with the front side facing up (the scooping side faces up) The central portion of the handle portion 2 is gently curved so as to be convex upward (mountain shape).

In addition, a substantially rectangular bowl-shaped body 3 is formed integrally with the handle portion 2 at the connecting portion between the holding portion 1 and the handle portion 2 of the spoon, and when the spoon is placed face up on the table D, FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the rod-shaped body 3 and the tip of the handle portion 2 come into contact with the table D to support the spoon at two locations, and the holding unit 1 can be held in a floating state so as not to contact the table D. ing.
On the other hand, although not shown, when this spoon is turned upside down (the scooping surface faces downward), the spoon is supported at two places, the bowl 3 and the central part of the handle 2 (the top of the chevron), and again the holding part 1 Can be held without touching the table D.
Accordingly, the formation position of the hook-like body 3 is set at the connecting portion of the holding part 1 and the handle part 2 described above so that the center of gravity is located on the tip side of the handle part 2 with this as a fulcrum. The dimension is set so as to protrude in the vertical direction with respect to the holding portion 1.

In this configuration, even if a spoon is placed on the table D, the holding part 1 that an infant or the like makes the mouth does not touch the table D, so that it is hygienic, and the viscous solid food adhered to the holding part 1 during the meal Soups and soups do not adhere to the table D and become dirty.
Furthermore, since the rod-shaped body 3 serves as a stopper when the handle portion 2 is gripped, an infant or the like does not carelessly directly hold the holding portion 1 to get his hands dirty and hygienic. Even if the juice or the like flows from the holding part 1 to the handle part 2 with the holding part 1 facing upward, the handle part 2 after that is blocked by the rod-like body 3 and is not easily wetted by the juice or the like. Therefore, there is little worry that the hand holding the handle part 2 gets dirty.

Moreover, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the lower surface 3b (when the spoon is placed face up), or the upper surface 3a (the spoon is placed upside down), where the substantially square bowl-shaped body 3 contacts the table D. Case) is formed in a concave shape.
Thus, by making the contact surfaces 3a, 3b with the table D concave, the two ends of the bowl 3 come into contact with the table D, and the stability of the spoon when placed on the table is improved. There is a merit of getting better.

  In addition, as described above, since the handle portion 2 is curved upwardly, when the spoon is placed on the table D with the spoon facing upward, the central portion of the handle portion 2 rises and there is a gap between the table D and the table portion D. Therefore, if you put your finger in this raised part, even a clumsy infant can grasp the spoon easily.

  As mentioned above, although this embodiment demonstrated the tableware which used the holding | maintenance part 1 as a spoon, as shown in FIG. 4, of course, this invention is applicable also to the tableware which used the holding | maintenance part 1 as a fork.

The external appearance perspective view of the spoon which concerns on this invention. The top view of a spoon. The side view which shows the state which put the spoon on the dining table. 1 is an external perspective view of a fork according to the present invention.
