Description
本考案は、人が食事をする際に使用する匙などの器具の働きを補助する食事補助具に関し、特に食事用の器具を保持する力が弱い傾向の老人や要介護者、病人、幼児等が食事をする際に、食事用の器具による掬う動作を補助する食事補助具に関する。 The present invention relates to a meal assisting device that assists the functioning of a device such as a bowl used when a person eats, and in particular, elderly people, care recipients, sick people, infants, etc., who tend to have weak power to hold a meal device The present invention relates to a meal assisting tool that assists a crawling action with a meal utensil when eating.
前述の器具を匙などの保持する力が弱い老人などが、皿などの食器を用いて食事をする際には、食べ物や汁などの皿に盛られたものを上手くは掬えないことがあり、皿から匙が大きくはみ出して食べ物や汁を溢してしまったり、匙で保持する食べ物や汁などの量が少なくなって食事の時間がかかったりするという問題が生じる。 When elderly people with weak power to hold the above utensils, such as bowls, eat with dishes such as dishes, they may not be good at what is served on dishes such as food and juice. In other words, the problem is that the candy spills out of the plate and overflows with food or juice, or the amount of food or juice that is held in the candy decreases and it takes time to eat.
このような匙などの保持する力が弱い老人が直面する問題に対して、食器の縁に匙の動きを止めるストッパーを把持させる機構の食事補助具もいくつか知られている（例えば、特許文献１、２参照。）。このような食器の縁に匙の動きを止めるストッパーを取り付けることで、力が弱い老人などであっても食べ物を口に運ぶ作業の効率を高めることができる。 In response to the problems faced by elderly people with weak holding power, such as rice cakes, some dietary aids having a mechanism for holding a stopper that stops the movement of the rice cake on the edge of tableware are also known (for example, Patent Documents). 1 and 2). By attaching a stopper that stops the movement of the bowl to the edge of such tableware, even an elderly person with weak power can increase the efficiency of carrying food to the mouth.
ところが、上述の特許文献１の技術では、金属製のクリップの如き構造を有するため、金属の曲げ加工が必要とされたり、挟持するための部材などが必要であり、部品点数も増加するために、コスト増を招く。また、特許文献２の技術では、どのような素材で補助具を構成するかについてはその記載がないものの、皿などの縁を把持する機構部と突起が形成された構造を有しおり、突起が本体部分に対してオーバーハング形状で設けられていることから、使用後に洗浄する際に、その突起部分が洗浄し難い部分となってしまう。このため衛生上の問題も発生する。 However, since the technique of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 has a structure like a metal clip, metal bending is required or a member for clamping is required, and the number of parts increases. Incurs an increase in cost. Moreover, in the technique of patent document 2, although there is no description about what kind of material comprises an auxiliary tool, it has the structure in which the mechanism part and protrusion which hold | grip edges, such as a plate, were formed, and protrusion has Since it is provided in an overhang shape with respect to the main body portion, when it is cleaned after use, the protruding portion becomes a portion that is difficult to clean. This also creates hygiene problems.
本考案は、このような技術的な課題に鑑み考えられたものであり、比較的に簡素化された構造によって製造し易く、しかも洗浄し難い部分を減らして、衛生上の問題発生も抑制できる優れた構造の食事補助具を提供する。 The present invention has been conceived in view of such technical problems, and can be easily manufactured with a relatively simplified structure, and the number of difficult-to-clean parts can be reduced, thereby preventing the occurrence of sanitary problems. Providing food aids with excellent structure.
上述の技術的な課題を解決するために、本考案の食事補助具は、裏面側に複数の吸盤部を配設した本体を有し、前記本体の表面側には匙などの頭部を当接させる突起状の当接部が形成されていることを特徴とする。 In order to solve the above technical problem, the meal assisting device of the present invention has a main body having a plurality of sucker portions arranged on the back side, and a head such as a bowl is applied to the front side of the main body. A protrusion-like contact portion to be contacted is formed.
本考案の食事補助具を構成する、前記複数の吸盤部を配設した前記本体、及び突起状の前記当接部は、それぞれ所定の弾性材を成形して構成することができ、前記本体は例えば平板状の可とう性材料から構成できる。また、前記本体に形成される前記複数の吸盤部は前記本体と共に取り付け対象となる食器類の表面に吸い付けられるようにすることができる。 The main body provided with the plurality of suction cups and the protrusion-shaped abutting portion constituting the meal assisting device of the present invention can be formed by molding a predetermined elastic material, respectively. For example, it can be composed of a flat flexible material. The plurality of suction cups formed on the main body can be sucked together with the main body on the surface of the tableware to be attached.
以下、本考案の食事補助具について図１乃至図４を参照しながら説明する。図１乃至図４は、本考案の実施形態の食事補助具を示す。本実施形態の食事補助具１０は、底面に複数の吸盤部１４を配設した本体１２を有し、前記本体１２の表面側には匙などの頭部を当接させる突起状の当接部１６が形成されている。本体１２及び当接部１６は平板状の可とう性材料であるシリコンラバー材で一体に構成されており、これらは透明、半透明若しくは着色されている。本体１２は三角形若しくは上端が円弧状を描く半円形状とされ、所定の厚みを有した板状の部材である。本体１２の厚みは、１ｍｍ乃至６ｍｍ程度とされ、より好ましくは２mm乃至４ｍｍ程度とされる。本実施形態では、本体１２は当接部１６を除いて概ね同じ厚みで形成されているが、例えば外縁部側の厚みが薄くなるような構造とすることもできる。シリコンラバーは可とう性を有し、弾力性のある素材でもあり、通常の食品を温めるような温度範囲では安定した材料である。また食事に使用する製品であるため、防カビなどの特性も重要であり、シリコンラバーはそのような特性を満たす。本実施形態の食事補助具１０は、当接部１６のある本体１２の表面側で硬く、複数の吸盤部１４が形成される裏面側で柔らかくなるような２層構造や貼り合わせ構造とすることも可能である。 Hereinafter, the meal assistance tool of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 show a meal assisting device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The meal assisting tool 10 of this embodiment has a main body 12 having a plurality of suction cups 14 disposed on the bottom surface, and a protruding contact portion that makes a head such as a bowl come into contact with the surface of the main body 12. 16 is formed. The main body 12 and the contact portion 16 are integrally formed of a silicon rubber material which is a flat plate-like flexible material, and these are transparent, translucent or colored. The main body 12 is a plate-like member having a predetermined thickness with a triangular shape or a semi-circular shape whose upper end forms an arc shape. The thickness of the main body 12 is about 1 mm to 6 mm, more preferably about 2 mm to 4 mm. In the present embodiment, the main body 12 is formed with substantially the same thickness except for the abutting portion 16. However, for example, the main body 12 may have a structure in which the thickness on the outer edge side is reduced. Silicon rubber is a flexible and elastic material, and is a stable material in a temperature range that warms ordinary food. Moreover, since it is a product used for a meal, characteristics, such as mold prevention, are also important, and silicon rubber satisfies such characteristics. The meal assisting tool 10 of the present embodiment has a two-layer structure or a bonded structure that is hard on the front surface side of the main body 12 with the contact portion 16 and soft on the back surface side on which the plurality of sucker portions 14 are formed. Is also possible.
本体１２の底面側には、皿などの食器の表面に吸着するための吸盤部１４が配列されて一面に形成されている。この吸盤部１４はそれぞれが外縁を円形とする凹状の窪みであり、当該食事補助具を皿に取り付ける際には、窪みの内部の体積を減少させることで負圧を形成して皿の表面に貼り付くことになる。吸盤部１４の数は、特に限定されるものではないが、数個乃至二十数個、より好ましくは十数個前後の数が設けられる。吸盤部１４のサイズは、全て同じサイズとすることもできるが、異なるサイズの吸盤部１４を組み合わせることもできる。食事補助具１０を皿などから取り外す場合には、本体１２を剥すように操作すれば各吸盤部１４内の負圧はなくなり、当該食事補助具１０から取り外される。 On the bottom surface side of the main body 12, a suction cup portion 14 for adsorbing on the surface of tableware such as a dish is arranged and formed on one surface. Each of the suction cups 14 is a concave depression having a circular outer edge, and when attaching the meal aid to the dish, a negative pressure is formed by reducing the volume inside the depression to form on the surface of the dish. It will be pasted. The number of the suction cups 14 is not particularly limited, but a number of several to twenty, more preferably about ten or more is provided. The sizes of the suction cups 14 can all be the same, but the suction cups 14 of different sizes can also be combined. When removing the meal assisting tool 10 from a dish or the like, if the operation is performed to peel off the main body 12, the negative pressure in each sucker portion 14 disappears and the meal assisting tool 10 is removed.
本体１２の表面側には、匙などの頭部を当接させる突起状の当接部１６が本体１２の一部を隆起させて形成されている。当接部１６は上端部側が先細りとなるような形状とされるが、匙などの頭部を係止する機能を発揮できる形状であれば、特に他の形状であっても良い。洗浄の問題等が発生しないという前提であれば、当接部１６に透穴を設けることもできる。本実施形態では、本体１２に形成される当接部１６の厚みは５ｍｍ乃至１０ｍｍ程度とされる。当接部１６は、主に下端部側が匙などの頭部を係止する際に使用されるため、直線状の下端部１８をややオーバーハングとなるように突出させることもできる。突起状の当接部１６だけ異なる色に着色するようなこともできる。 On the surface side of the main body 12, a projecting contact portion 16 for contacting a head such as a heel is formed by raising a part of the main body 12. The contact portion 16 is shaped so that the upper end side is tapered, but may be any other shape as long as it has a function of locking the head such as a heel. If it is a premise that the problem of washing | cleaning etc. does not generate | occur | produce, a through-hole can also be provided in the contact part 16. FIG. In the present embodiment, the thickness of the contact portion 16 formed on the main body 12 is about 5 mm to 10 mm. Since the abutting portion 16 is mainly used when the lower end portion side locks the head portion such as a heel, the linear lower end portion 18 can be projected so as to be slightly overhanged. Only the protruding contact portions 16 may be colored in different colors.
本体１２の表面側には、図示を省略しているが、突出する当接部１６以外の部分は平坦な面があり、そこには凹凸加工により、社名、商標やその他のメッセージを加えることができ、販促用品として利用可能とされる。 Although not shown in the figure, the surface of the main body 12 has a flat surface other than the protruding contact portion 16, and a company name, a trademark, and other messages can be added thereto by uneven processing. It can be used as a promotional product.
図４は、皿２０の上に例えばカレーのようなやや流動的な食物２４が置かれ、その皿２０の食物２４を本実施形態の食事補助具１０を利用しながら匙２６で掬うところを示す。仮に、本実施形態の食事補助具１０が存在しない場合は、匙２６を皿２０の面に沿って移動させながら、匙２６の頭部２８内に食物２４が移動した時に素早く匙２６を操作して、効率よく頭部２８に食物２４を収納することが行われるが、要介護者や高齢者、幼年者などの匙の操作も容易ならない者にとっては、匙２６を皿２０の面に沿って移動させた際に、一緒に食物２4を皿２０外部に押し出してしまう傾向がある。この場合に、本実施形態の食事補助具１０をその裏面の吸盤部１４が皿２０の表面２２に吸い付けられることで皿２０に取り付ければ、匙２６の頭部２８が食事補助具１０の当接部１６に当接した時には、効率良く食物２４が匙２６の頭部２８に移動することになり、要介護者や高齢者、幼年者などであっても、食事を円滑に進めることができるようになる。 FIG. 4 shows that a slightly fluid food 24 such as curry is placed on the dish 20 and the food 24 on the dish 20 is scooped with the bowl 26 using the meal aid 10 of the present embodiment. . If the meal assisting tool 10 according to the present embodiment is not present, the bowl 26 is moved along the surface of the plate 20, and the bowl 26 is quickly operated when the food 24 moves into the head 28 of the bowl 26. Thus, the food 24 is efficiently stored in the head 28, but the person who needs care, the elderly, the infant, and the like who do not easily operate the heel 26 can be moved along the surface of the dish 20. When moved, the food 24 tends to be pushed out of the dish 20 together. In this case, if the meal assisting tool 10 of the present embodiment is attached to the dish 20 by the suction cup portion 14 on the back surface being sucked to the surface 22 of the dish 20, the head 28 of the bowl 26 is applied to the meal assisting tool 10. When it comes into contact with the contact portion 16, the food 24 efficiently moves to the head 28 of the bowl 26, and even if it is a care recipient, an elderly person, a young person, etc., the meal can be smoothly advanced. It becomes like this.
本実施形態の食事補助具１０の利用は、図示のカレーなどの食物に限定されず、ご飯、その他の固形物、チャーハン、ピラフ、オムライスなどの調理した食物などであっても良い。このような固形物、穀物、調理品などであっても皿の中の最後の一粒や一塊まで匙２６の頭部２８内に容易に移動させることができる。 The use of the dietary aid 10 of the present embodiment is not limited to food such as the illustrated curry but may be cooked food such as rice, other solids, fried rice, pilaf, and omelet rice. Even such solids, cereals, and cooked foods can be easily moved into the head 28 of the bowl 26 up to the last grain or lump in the dish.
なお、上述の実施形態では、全ての部材を単一の合成樹脂で構成する例について説明したが、金属や木材などの材料やこれらと樹脂との合成材料を用いることもでき、樹脂も２種類以上のものを組み合わせて一体化しても良い。また、弾性材としては、実施形態にシリコンラバーを例示したが、これに限定されず、合成ゴムや天然ゴム、熱可塑性エラストマーなどの樹脂材料を使用することもできる。
In the above-described embodiment, an example in which all members are made of a single synthetic resin has been described. However, a material such as metal or wood, or a synthetic material of these and a resin can be used, and two types of resins are also available. The above may be combined and integrated. Further, as the elastic material, silicon rubber is exemplified in the embodiment, but the elastic material is not limited to this, and a resin material such as synthetic rubber, natural rubber, and thermoplastic elastomer can also be used.
