Description

本考案は、乳幼児、高齢者などの咀嚼力の弱い人に、離乳食や流動食などを与えるときに用いる摂食補助用具に関するものである。  The present invention relates to an eating aid for use when feeding baby food, liquid food, or the like to a person with weak masticatory power, such as an infant or an elderly person.

従来、乳幼児に離乳食を与える場合、及び高齢者に流動食を与える場合には、スプーンを用いていた。  Conventionally, a spoon has been used when baby food is given to infants and when liquid food is given to elderly people.

乳幼児に離乳食を与える場合、及び高齢者に流動食を与える場合には一般的にスプーンを用いるが、スプーンは金属やプラスチックなどの硬い材質でできており、例えばおかゆを与える場合、スプーンの皿の部分におかゆが付着するため、上あごに擦り付けておかゆを口の中に入れたりする。これでは、乳幼児や高齢者の上あごの部分を傷つけることにもなり兼ねず、また乳幼児や高齢者が嫌な顔をすることもある。  Spoons are generally used when feeding baby food to infants and liquid foods for the elderly, but the spoon is made of a hard material such as metal or plastic. Since the porridge is attached to the area, rub it on the upper chin and put it in the mouth. This may hurt the upper chin portion of the infant or the elderly, and the infant or the elderly may make a bad face.

また、スプーンの皿の部分がゴム状の柔らかい材質でできているものも市販されているが、この場合にもおかゆなどは皿の部分に付着するため、上あごに擦り付ける動作をする必要があり、乳幼児や高齢者が不快感を感じることになる。  In addition, the spoon dish part is made of a soft rubbery material, but in this case as well, porridge is attached to the dish part, so it must be rubbed against the upper jaw. , Infants and the elderly will feel uncomfortable.

本考案は、乳幼児や高齢者が不快感を感じることなく離乳食や流動食を食べることができるようにし、更に楽しみを持って食事を行えるようにすることを目的とする。  An object of the present invention is to make it possible for infants and the elderly to eat baby food and liquid food without feeling uncomfortable and to have a meal with pleasure.

請求項1に記載の考案は、断面が花弁形の凹凸を有する弾性体の一端に、取っ手を設けることを特徴とする摂食補助用具であり、花弁形の部分におかゆ、粘性のある液状の食べ物などを付着させてこれを口へ持ってゆき、乳幼児や高齢者にしゃぶってもらうことで食事を行うものである。  The invention described in claim 1 is an eating assisting device characterized in that a handle is provided at one end of an elastic body having a petal-shaped irregularity in cross section. The food is attached to the mouth and brought to the mouth, and the baby is eaten by sucking it from an infant or elderly person.

乳幼児や高齢者に不快感を与えることなく、離乳食や流動食を与えることができる。  Baby food and liquid food can be given without causing discomfort to infants and the elderly.

乳幼児は指を口にくわえることを好むため、これと似た動作で食事をすることができ、楽しんで食事が行える。  Infants prefer to hold their fingers in their mouths, so they can eat in a similar manner and enjoy eating.

指先に食物を付着させて、これを乳幼児や高齢者の口に入れることで食事をさせることがあるが、指先には雑菌があるので衛生的でないが、本考案の摂食補助用具を用いることにより、指先で食事を与えるのと同様な与え方で、これを衛生的に行うことができる。  Food may be attached to the fingertips and eaten by placing them in the mouths of infants and the elderly, but there are various germs on the fingertips, so it is not hygienic, but use the feeding aid of the present invention. Thus, this can be performed in a sanitary manner in the same manner as a meal is given with a fingertip.

以下、図面を参照し、好ましい実施形態について本考案を説明する。  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with respect to preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings.

図1から図4には、本考案の第1実施形態である摂食補助用具10を示す。この実施形態の摂食補助用具10は弾性体1、花弁形凸部2、花弁形凹部3及び、取っ手4を備えている。  1 to 4 show an eating aid 10 that is a first embodiment of the present invention. The eating aid 10 of this embodiment includes an elastic body 1, a petal-shaped convex part 2, a petal-shaped concave part 3, and a handle 4.

図3に示すように、弾性体1の断面形状は花弁形の凹凸を有する形状となっているが、これは花弁形凸部2で、おかゆなどの食物を掻き取り、花弁形凹部3に絡め取るためである。  As shown in FIG. 3, the cross-sectional shape of the elastic body 1 is a shape having petal-shaped irregularities, which is a petal-shaped convex part 2 that scrapes food such as porridge and entangles it with the petal-shaped concave part 3. To take.

取っ手4を持ち、弾性体1の表面に食物を付着させた状態で、口の中へ弾性体1を入れ、弾性体1をしゃぶることで食事をするものであるため、弾性体1は柔らかい材質のものが望ましい。弾性体1の材質としてはシリコンゴム、天然ゴムなどが考えられる。  The elastic body 1 is a soft material because it has a handle 4 and food is attached to the surface of the elastic body 1 so that the elastic body 1 is put into the mouth and the elastic body 1 is sucked to eat. Is desirable. As the material of the elastic body 1, silicon rubber, natural rubber or the like can be considered.

弾性体1の大きさは、乳児用、幼児用、高齢者用とそれぞれの口の大きさに合わせて適宜決定するものとする。  The size of the elastic body 1 is appropriately determined according to the size of each mouth for infants, infants, and elderly people.

図3に示すように、弾性体1の断面形状の概形は、指先の断面形状のように少し扁平な楕円形状であることが望ましい。これは、口の中で弾性体1をしゃぶりやすくするためである。  As shown in FIG. 3, it is desirable that the outline of the cross-sectional shape of the elastic body 1 is an elliptical shape that is slightly flat like the cross-sectional shape of the fingertip. This is for facilitating sucking the elastic body 1 in the mouth.

取っ手4の材質はプラスチックなどが考えられる。  The material of the handle 4 may be plastic.

図5には、本考案の第2実施形態である摂食補助用具20を示す。この実施形態の摂食補助用具20は弾性体1、花弁形凸部2、花弁形凹部3、取っ手4及び、ストッパー5を備えている。  In FIG. 5, the eating assistance tool 20 which is 2nd Embodiment of this invention is shown. The eating aid 20 of this embodiment includes an elastic body 1, a petal-shaped convex portion 2, a petal-shaped concave portion 3, a handle 4, and a stopper 5.

図5に示すように、摂食補助用具20においては、誤って摂食補助用具を飲み込むことのないように、安全性を高める措置として取っ手4にストッパー5を設けてある。  As shown in FIG. 5, in the eating assistance tool 20, the stopper 4 is provided in the handle 4 as a measure which raises safety so that it may not accidentally swallow the eating assistance tool.

その他の実施例Other examples

本考案の第1及び第2実施形態である摂食補助用具10及び20では、図3に示すように花弁形凸部2が6ヶ所の凸部を形成しているが、この花弁形凸部2のヶ所数については任意である。  In the feeding aids 10 and 20 according to the first and second embodiments of the present invention, the petal-shaped convex portion 2 forms six convex portions as shown in FIG. The number of two places is arbitrary.

弾性体1に食物が絡み付きやすくするため、花弁形凸部2及び花弁形凹部3を螺旋状に設けることが考えられる。  In order to make food easily entangled with the elastic body 1, it is conceivable to provide the petal-shaped convex part 2 and the petal-shaped concave part 3 in a spiral shape.

弾性体1に食物が絡み付きやすくするため、弾性体1の表面を滑らかなものとせずに、ざらついたものとすることが考えられる。  In order to make food easily entangled with the elastic body 1, it is conceivable that the surface of the elastic body 1 is not smooth and is rough.

取っ手4を使いやすいように湾曲させることも可能である。  The handle 4 can be curved so as to be easy to use.

弾性体1、取っ手4及び、ストッパー5を抗菌素材で作ると、より衛生的となる。  If the elastic body 1, the handle 4 and the stopper 5 are made of an antibacterial material, it becomes more hygienic.

本考案による摂食補助用具は、乳幼児、高齢者などの咀嚼力の弱い人に、離乳食や流動食を与えるときに用いるものであるが、犬、猫などの動物に餌を与える場合にも用いることが可能である。  The feeding aid according to the present invention is used when feeding baby food or liquid food to people with weak chewing ability such as infants and the elderly, but it is also used when feeding animals such as dogs and cats.
