Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a tableware set used for infants, persons with reduced athletic ability, care recipients, caregivers, and standing parties.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The tableware provided in the nursing and silver fields is known to have anti-slip processing on the surface and bottom of the tray, to prevent falling, and to make it easier to scoop up food when using a spoon. Yes.
[0003]
The actual open flat No. 7-14777 can be used only at a predetermined position on the tray side by providing a protrusion on the tray and fitting it into the bottom of the tableware.
[0004]
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-65440 corresponds to one tableware with one holder.
[0005]
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-139659 is premised on a configuration using a suction cup.
[0006]
Although there is a notch in the thread bottom of the existing tableware, there is nothing having the inclination angle intended by the present invention for the purpose of draining and the convenience of molding.
In addition, the notch on the top of the bowl, such as tea utensils, is a design and not a function.
[0007]
Therefore, a tableware restraint tool with high user-friendliness and flexibility has not been developed.
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention is intended to prevent the dishes placed on the tray from moving and falling so that the food in the dishes is not scattered when an infant, a person with reduced motor ability, or a person requiring care is eating. It aims to alleviate the burden on the person and the caregiver.
[0009]
In addition, at the time of a standing party, both hands are closed with a cooking plate and a glass for drinks. Accordingly, a tray and glass configuration that can be held with one hand is desired.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention forms a rising portion on the surface of the tray by a straight line or a curved line.
[0011]
The quantity, length, height, thickness, shape, etc. of the rising parts are appropriately formed according to the function, quantity, etc. of the tableware.
When forming a drainer or the like, a part of the rising portion may be cut out.
Further, it may be detachable.
[00012]
A plurality of middle partitions may be formed.
[0013]
A pair of cutout portions is formed at two portions of the cutout portion having an appropriate inclination angle in the yarn bottom portion of the tableware. However, a plurality of pairs of cutout portions may be formed.
[0014]
The notch portions for each pair have the same inclination angle, but when forming a plurality of pairs of cuts, the inclination angle may be different from that of the first pair.
[0015]
The width of the notch portion of the yarn bottom is made larger than the thickness of the rising portion.
[0016]
It is preferable to shape the cut of the yarn bottom to be lower than the height of the rising portion.
As a result, the lower end surface of the yarn bottom contacts the surface of the tray, so that the tableware is stabilized.
[0017]
The shape of the yarn bottom may not be limited to a round shape, but may be an oval, a square, a polygon, or the like.
[0018]
The width, thickness, and height of the notch portion of the yarn bottom, and the thickness and height of the rising portion of the tray are appropriately changed in consideration of the elasticity of the material used.
[0019]
The action by the above solution means that when the notch portion of the bottom of the tableware is pushed into the tray-like rising portion of the tray and engaged and locked, there is play when one of the notches on the bottom of the table is pushed in. Although it is fitted, when the other side is pushed in, the angle of inclination of the first and second places is opposite with the rising part as the medium, so a slight forcible force is generated, It is pushed in while absorbing the forcing force by elastic deformation, the return force of the rising portion acts, and the locked state is maintained using the rising portion as a medium.
[0020]
Therefore, a forcible force and a restoring force act on the thread bottom cut edge and the contact of the rising portion of the tray to maintain the fitted and locked state.
[0021]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a view showing a tray 1, and the tray 1 is formed with a plurality of rising portions 3 for fitting and locking tableware at appropriate positions.
[0022]
FIG. 5 is a side view of the tableware, and is a view in which the cutout portion 14 of the yarn bottom 13 is arranged in the front. In the case where the cutout portion 14 is a pair, the side view on the opposite side is the same view.
FIG. 6.7 is a side view showing an example of tableware.
Fig. 8.9.10 is an example of the bottom view of the tableware. In FIG. 11, a plurality of notches 14 are formed. Although the cutout portion 14a is formed in the center, it can be displaced from the core like the cutout portion 14b and does not have to be constrained by the shape of the yarn bottom 13.
[0024]
FIG. 12 shows an example of an inclination angle opposite to that in FIG. 5, and the notch 14 on the opposite side is indicated by a dotted line. The pair of cutout portions 14 are inclined at opposite angles when the other cutout portion 14 is viewed from one cutout portion 14. This configuration applies a forcing force.
[0025]
Fig. 13.14 shows a state where the rising portion 3 and the notch portion 14 are fitted and locked. Since the width of the notch portion 14 is wider than the thickness of the rising portion 3, the contact point 31 between the notch upper portion 15 and the rising upper portion 24, and the contact between the notch lower portion 16 and the rising lower portion 25 when fitting. The two contact points 31 of the point 31 are configured to be slightly narrow.
[0026]
Accordingly, the forcing force generated at the contact point 31 is absorbed by the elastic deformation force of the rising portion 3, and the restoring force is applied to maintain the fitted and locked state.
[0027]
That is, when only one of the pair of cutout portions 14 is fitted, there is play if the rising angle of the yarn bottom 13 is set to the rising portion 3, but the other portion is fitted. Thus, a forcing force is generated at the contact point 31, but the rising portion 3 is fitted while being elastically deformed, and the locked state is maintained by the action of the restoring force.
[0028]
As shown in the bird's eye view of FIG. 17, when the rising portion 3 is fitted into the pair of cutout portions 14, the rising portion side surface 26 is elastically deformed according to the inclination angle of the cutout portion 14, thereby It absorbs and exerts a restoring force.
[0029]
18 to 23 are drawings of claim 2.
FIG. 18.19 is a side view of the tableware, and the notch portions 14 are paired and symmetrical.
[0030]
FIG. 20 is an explanatory diagram of a fitting and locking state.
FIG. 21 is a bottom view and is an explanatory view of the notch 14 on the yarn bottom. An appropriate angle connecting the outer periphery 19 and the inner periphery 18 of the yarn bottom 13 formed with an appropriate thickness necessary for the locking action is formed.
[0031]
FIG. 22 is a view in which the rising portion 3 is fitted and locked to the yarn bottom 13.
The width of the notch portion of the yarn bottom 13 is configured to be slightly narrow at the contact point 31a2 that is larger than the thickness of the rising portion 3 when the rising portion 3 is fitted. 31b2 places are also the same composition.
At the time of fitting, forcing force is generated at the four contact points 31 on the rising portion 3, but the forcing force is absorbed by the elastic deformation of the rising portion 3, and the restoring force of the elastic deformation acts and is engaged. Maintain a standstill.
[0032]
That is, the rising portion 3 becomes a medium, and a forcing force and a restoring force are applied.
[0033]
FIG. 3.4 is a drawing of claim 3.
In FIG. 3, the partition 4 is formed on the tray.
[0034]
In FIG. 25, by forming the partition part 4, the space for fitting and locking the tableware and the space for placing food are integrated, and the portability is good.
[0035]
Since it is a configuration as described above, by appropriately adjusting the thickness of the rising portion of the tray, the width and the inclination angle of the notch portion of the yarn bottom,
Molding of synthetic resin molded products, metal products such as stainless steel and aluminum, wood products, ceramic products, ceramic products, heat-resistant glass products, and paper products is possible.
[0036]
When a ceramic or heat-resistant glass product is required, it is preferable to cover the rising portion with a silicon resin having a relatively low hardness.
[0037]
Further, since it has a function of stacking, locking, and connecting, it can be used for applications that improve storage, convenience, and portability.
[0038]
Further, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and the design of the rising part and the shape of the notch part can be appropriately changed.
[0039]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, there is no need to worry about the tableware falling without holding the tableware, so that one hand of a person who takes care of the infant and the care recipient becomes free and the burden can be reduced.
[0040]
People with reduced finger motor skills can eat without assistance because the dishes are in a stable state.
Since the tableware can be locked at any position of the user, the degree of freedom is high.
[0041]
The third aspect of the present invention can be used for a spectator spectator eating and drinking service, an airplane, a train, a ship, a vehicle, and the like in addition to a buffet party venue, and also for a product considering portability.
[0042]
Furthermore, since the tableware of the present invention has the same shape as a commercially available tableware except for the inclination of the notch portion of the yarn bottom, it can be used alone and can be supplied at low cost.
