Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to tableware suitable not only for healthy persons but especially for persons requiring nursing care, infants and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, tableware has been made of ceramics, wood, synthetic resin, etc., and a table provided with a placing portion on the bottom is generally used, but it requires handicapped care. It is easy for people to fall over when tableware cannot be grasped with one hand, and to prevent this, a flat plate without a placing part on the bottom is slippery and unstable in any case. Is causing problems. Furthermore, in order to solve these problems, non-slip members are attached to several places on the bottom mounting part, or a non-slip mat is laid under the tableware, Problems such as insufficient anti-slip effect or complicated handling occur. Further, the opening is generally formed horizontally and the side wall is formed vertically, which causes a problem that it is difficult to scoop food such as soup with a spoon. Further, in order to solve these problems, there is a structure in which the opening is formed in a slanted shape on one side, but the anti-slip member is not provided, or is little even if provided. Therefore, there are still problems such as being extremely unstable and difficult to use.

[0003]

Therefore, the present invention has been made to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, in which the upper opening is inclined to one side and the side wall is inclined to the inside. In addition, the bottom lower surface is provided with a non-slip member,
It is an object of the present invention to make it easy to use, especially for persons requiring care, by forming the inner upper surface into a flat shape or a convex shape.

[0004]

In view of the above, according to the present invention, firstly, an opening is provided in an upper portion, the opening is inclined to one side, and at least a side wall of the inclined starting end portion is formed. By inclining inward, the bottom surface of the bottom part is provided with a non-slip member. Secondly, the bottom inner surface is formed to be flat. Thirdly, the inner upper surface of the bottom portion is formed in a convex shape. Fourthly, the opening is provided with a flange portion curved inward. Fifth, the side wall has a circular cross section. Sixth, the side walls have a substantially circular cross section. Further, seventhly, the non-slip member is made of silicon rubber so as to achieve the above object.

[0005]

In the present invention having the above structure, the upper opening is inclined to one side and the side wall is inclined to the inside.
In addition, the bottom surface of the bottom part is provided with a non-slip member, so that the opening is inclined so that a spoon or the like can be easily put in, and the side wall is inclined, so that the soup or the like inside can be eaten with a spoon. The table can be easily scooped, and the tableware can be easily handled. Since the table is provided with a non-slip member, the tableware is less likely to slip on the table and is less likely to fall over, and stability can be improved. Moreover, the inner upper surface of the bottom portion is formed into a flat shape or formed into a convex shape, but by forming it into a convex shape in particular, food such as soup can be more easily scooped, and thus handling can be further facilitated. . Further, since the opening portion is provided with the collar portion curved inward, the food is less likely to spill, and the handling can be further facilitated. In addition, since the side wall has a circular cross section, it becomes difficult for food to move to the left and right, and the handling can be further facilitated. In addition, since the side wall has a cross section of a substantially circular shape, it is possible to change the use and it becomes difficult for the food to move to the left and right, and the handling can be further facilitated. Furthermore, by making the anti-slip member made of silicone rubber, the stability is further enhanced, and since it is well compatible with ceramics, workability can be improved, and it is hygienic even when used for tableware. can do.
