Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a cooking tool that can be attached to a mana plate or plates by one-hand operation and can be cooked with one hand or processed by one-handed work, particularly a cooking aid based on a cooking aid that serves as a mana plate and a base. The present invention relates to a self-help device for an upper limb handicapped person, particularly a one hand handicapped person, who can select a presser suitable for the purpose of the work and combine them to perform cooking by one hand or processing by one hand work.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Even if it is a person with a disability in the upper limb, it can be congenital, acquired, limb deficit, amputation, dysfunction, finger deficit, one-hand disability, etc. Power is no exception.
Currently, research and development is progressing at a rapid pace in the fields of wheelchairs for disabled people, bathing care, beds, barrier-free, etc. It is important as an issue in trying to live a positive social life, such as positioning in the country and supporting independents.
[0003]
One handicapped person can work much more personally than a two-handed handicapped person. However, in daily life, there are plenty of tasks that can only be performed using both hands, and most of the tools for the tasks can be used only by those who can use both hands.
Therefore, although it should be possible to work more personally than a handicapped person as described above, it must be said that the current instruments remarkably hinder their independence function.
For this reason, people with single-handed disabilities can not live unless they are in good faith with the people around them. However, I think it would be nice if there was a collaborator in the surroundings, but in many cases this was not possible, and people with disabilities in the upper limbs wanted to be as independent as possible.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Everyday life, especially eating habits, is a daily thing. I like not only cooking but also various operations such as opening cans, bottles, etc., handling them, with one hand or weak, simple, safe and reliable. It is an object of the present invention to provide a multi-purpose cooking or daily life assisting tool for one handicapped person who can work on his / her favorite thing by himself.

[0023]
The locking action of the cooking aid B is not particularly causal with the solid of the presser, and can be locked at that position even if there is no presser. In the case of canning, the can can be opened using a commercially available can opener, and the lid of the bottle can be opened by hand. Use a commercially available lid opener if it is impossible.
The natto pack can be opened by hand and kneaded with chopsticks on the spot. Ice cream, sherbet, etc. are frozen and hard, so even if you try to spread them with a spatula, spoon, etc., they will be unstable and won't work well.
It can be squeezed with the presser part of the cooking aid B and can be scooped with a spatula, spoon or the like. Also, when using a commercially available peeler, the normal (healthy person) usually holds the material with one hand and pulls the peeler toward you with the other hand. In the auxiliary tool B, the peeling operation is performed by fixing the peeler, holding the material in the hand, placing it on the blade, and pulling it forward.
