Abstract

Provided is a holding correction aid that allows a user to learn how to hold and operate pencils and chopsticks without difficulty.
SOLUTION: A body correction assisting tool main body 1 is made of a polymer foam material in a substantially spherical shape, and is a gripping correction assisting tool dedicated to a writing instrument such as a pencil of a size that can be gently held by the palm of your hand. . The holding portion 2 is made of a stretchable material such as a polymer foam material, and has two rings 3 and 4. A pencil is inserted into one of the rings and fixed. However, in the case of a small child, using the ring 3 closer to the main body 1 allows the pencil to be fixed more firmly and can be guided correctly. For people with large hands or those who are already familiar with writing, it is easier to use the ring 4 far from the main body 1 because the play around the pencil is larger.

Description

    The present invention relates to an auxiliary tool that helps learn how to hold a pencil.

1) The shape of a conventional auxiliary tool is generally one that is attached to the writing instrument body and has a fingertip or finger arranged.
2) In addition, auxiliary tools with a string for attaching writing instruments, spoons, chopsticks, etc. to the main body that is gripped in the palm have been announced.

However, in the case of 1) above, it was difficult to learn how to hold it easily and correctly because of the consciousness of aligning the fingertips with the assistive devices.
On the other hand, in the case of 2) above, there is an advantage that the operation tool can be freely operated because the auxiliary tool is grasped by the palm or the entire hand, but since the main body is made of a hard material such as wood, pottery, or plastic, the feel, feel, fatigue,
There seems to be room for improvement in terms of dealing with sweating.
Previously, similar aids were made from paper clay and used by children. Although it was effective in terms of how to hold it, there was a sense of discomfort when dried and hardened, and there was a limit to long-term use because it did not absorb sweat.

  The idea of this device is that the user can learn how to hold and operate a pencil without difficulty.

  In order to solve the above problems, a flexible polymer foam material is used for the grip part of the palm, and the palm is covered with small protrusions. You can focus on learning with a sense of security. It is good also as a recessed part instead of a small protrusion. This material can be gently held in the hand of a user who cannot create a space that can be used as a palm when using a pencil, and can be held properly without difficulty. In addition, it can reduce the power of fingers and hands, so it won't get tired even if you write for a long time. There are various advantages, such as not feeling uncomfortable even if it is used for a long time by absorbing the water.

According to this device, the shape and functions that make use of flexible materials have a great effect on learning how to hold them properly according to the size, force, and wrinkles of the user's hand.

An embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS.

The main body 1 of the holding-correcting tool shown in Fig. 1 is made of a polymer foam and is almost spherical. The holding-correcting tool is specially designed for writing tools, such as pencils, that can be gently held in the palm of your hand. It is. The holding part 2 is made of a stretchable material such as a polymer foam, and has two rings 3 and 4. A pencil is inserted into one of the rings and fixed. However, in the case of a small child, using the ring 3 closer to the main body 1 can fix the pencil more firmly and guide it properly. For people with large hands or those who are already familiar with writing, the wheel 4 farther away from the body 1
I think that it is easier to use because it is easier to use around the pencil, but it can be personal preference.

When holding a pencil with the main unit 1 attached, first grasp only the part of the main unit 1 and make sure that the pencil is fixed. Next, the thumb 6 and the index finger 7 are met on a pencil. This will give you the right way to hold it.
The holding part 2 attached to the main body 1 may be a single ring without the ring 4 if desired.

The main body 8 shown in FIG. 2 is made of a polymer foam and is almost spherical, and is a tool that can be held gently with the palm of your hand and corrects the way you hold a pencil or chopsticks. The rings 9 and 10 are made of a stretchable material such as a polymer foam material and are attached to the main body 8 in two. When inserting a writing instrument such as a pencil, use either ring 9 or 10. In the case of chopsticks, insert one each into rings 9 and 10 for use. When fixing the chopsticks, it seems appropriate to bring the ring around 2/3 of the tip of the chopsticks as shown in Fig. 6, but it may be adjusted according to the user's habit and age. it can.
When holding the chopsticks with the main body attached, first grasp the ball part of the main body 8 and make sure that the chopsticks are stable. Then open your palm and place your thumb 6 around both rings. Then, gently wrap the body 8 with the entire palm. At that time, one chopstick is sandwiched between the forefinger and middle finger naturally as shown in FIG.

The main body 5 in FIG. 3 is made of a polymer foam material and is almost spherical, and it is a size that can be gently grasped with the palm of the hand. . When holding a pencil with the main body 5 attached, it is possible to naturally hold it by first holding only the main body 5 and then bringing the master finger 6 and the index finger 7 together on the pencil.

Recent children tend to write letters using a thin and unstable tool such as a pencil from an early stage. For this reason, many children have already become trapped when they enter elementary school. Therefore, we decided to make something that can help the hand of writing instruments gently for young children who have the first thing to write, and that they would like to be familiar with like toys. From this point of view, we aimed to make things softer than hard ones, and to allow writing tools to be held naturally by undeveloped children without any difficulty. And when I try to use it for children, I am convinced that this assistive device is useful enough.
Everyone uses pencils and chopsticks for a long time. Even for those who have not been able to correct until they have grown up, it is good to be able to use pencils and chopsticks easily and comfortably. It may also help people who feel inconvenient for various reasons. Therefore, the orthodontic assisting device of the present invention has a wide range of needs from young children to adults, and has the potential to be required for a long time.
