Description

Spoon and fork

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an infant meal tool, and more particularly, to a novel infant meal tool that infants can eat comfortably and learn a proper eating posture.

When the baby grows to some extent, it starts the baby food, and when it grows to some extent, it becomes the general formula. Since most baby foods are pasty like porridge, spooning starts at the start of baby food.

However, since it is difficult for first-spooning babies to take a spoon and eat food to avoid food spillage, most of the food is shed because the spoon is pushed to the left and right. Therefore, because they do not eat properly, they do not eat food with a spoon, they eat food by hand, and they become annoyed.

Also, those who cares for the baby will spoil the food without spooning the baby because the baby sprays a lot of food.

And if this happens repeatedly, the infant will lose interest in spooning and refuse to use the spoon, and eventually it takes a lot of time to learn the correct spoon.

Meanwhile, a spoon in which a handle is formed in an annular shape has been proposed so that babies can conveniently hold the handle. However, these spoons also made it difficult for babies to eat to avoid food spills.

Korea Public Utility Model No. 20-2012-0006869 (2012. 10. 08.)

It is an object of the present invention to solve the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an infant and a child who can easily take spoons and forks and eat foods, And to provide a meal tool with a new configuration that allows the user to learn.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a food processing apparatus including a handle 100 extending long in the longitudinal direction, and a food storage unit 200 provided at the tip of the handle 100 and capable of eating or snatching food, And a thumb fitting ring 110 for fitting a thumb of a user is formed on the upper surface of the handle 100.

According to another aspect of the present invention, a stop finger seating groove 120 is formed on one side of the handle 100 to receive a stop finger tip of a user.

According to another aspect of the present invention, the thumb fitting ring 110 is positioned so as to be close to a side surface of the grip portion 100, which is opposed to the side where the stop finger seating groove 120 is formed, A guide groove 112 is formed on a side surface of the thumb fitting ring 110, which is located close to the thumb fitting ring 110, and is downwardly and inwardly recessed at a position aligned with the thumb fitting ring 110.

In the present invention having the above-described configuration, the thumb portion 100 is provided with a thumb fitting ring 110 for fitting a user, i.e., a thumb of a baby, so that the thumb is inserted into the thumb fitting ring 110 When the user grips the handle 100, the eating utensil, that is, the spoon and the fork are not shifted to the left and right, and the food is not shed.

Furthermore, since the stop finger seating groove 120 in which the tip end of the stop finger is seated is formed in the handle 100, the baby can be placed in the stop finger seating groove 120, (100) can be held more stably and comfortably.

Thus, the present invention allows babies to eat food without shedding food, thereby inducing interest in the use of baby spoons and forks, and learning how to hold spoons and forks, thereby enabling correct spoons.

1 is a plan view showing a first embodiment of the present invention.
2 is a perspective view of the above-
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the use state of the embodiment
4 is a plan view showing a second embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are a plan view and a perspective view showing the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a plan view of the state of use thereof. As shown in the drawings, the present invention includes a handle 100 and a food receiving unit 200 capable of picking up food.

Hereinafter, to facilitate understanding of the present invention, when the user grasps the handle 100 on both sides of the handle 100, the side closer to the user is referred to as the " inner side "Quot; side ".

The grip portion 100 is formed long to have a predetermined length. A thumb fitting ring 110 for fitting a user's thumb is protruded from the upper surface of the grip portion 100.

Preferably, the thumb-fit ring 110 is formed at a position close to the inner surface of the handle 100 at the longitudinal centerline of the handle 100. So that it can be inserted into the thumb-fit ring 110 more easily. In addition, when the thumb-fit ring 110 is positioned at a position close to the inner surface, the thumb-fit ring 110 is positioned in the longitudinal centerline of the handle 100, 110) is more comfortable.

Reference numeral 112 denotes a guide groove formed to be depressed downward and inward so as to easily insert the thumb into the thumb-fit ring 110.

In addition, on the outer surface of the handle 100, a stop finger seating groove 120 is formed in front of the thumb fitting ring 110 for seating the user's stop finger.

Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, the food receiving portion 200 has the same shape as a usual spoon ball portion so as to eat food.

Preferably, as shown in the figure, the food storage part 200 is formed to be slightly bent toward the inside of the handle 100 from the tip of the handle 100. When the food accommodating portion 200 is formed so as to be bent inside the grip portion 100 rather than in the longitudinal direction with respect to the grip portion 100 as described above, It has the advantage of not having to break a lot of arm or cuff joints.

In the present invention, the handle 100, the food storage unit 200, and the thumb-fit ring 110 are formed of synthetic resin or metal so as to be integrally formed. When the present invention is molded into a synthetic resin, it is preferable that the biodegradable resin is formed into a biodegradable resin that is harmless to the human body and is environmentally friendly.

Hereinafter, a method of using the present invention having such a configuration will be described.

As shown in Fig. 3, the user allows the thumb to be inserted into the thumb-fit ring 110, and grasps the grip 100 so that the end of the stop finger is seated in the stop finger seating groove 120. [

In this way, the handle 100 can be held comfortably and stably, so that the spoon does not pivot to the left and right, and there is no possibility that the food spreading in the food storage portion 200 will spill. Further, since the food storage part 200 is formed to be bent inside the grip part 100, it is not necessary to break the arm or cuff joint much to eat food, and it is convenient for the babies to eat food.

Therefore, babies can eat comfortably without shedding food, so babies can become interested in spooning.

Particularly, since the hand shape for catching the spoon is guided to the thumb insertion ring 110 and the stop finger seating groove 120, the correct method of grasping the spoon is learned and correct spoon-shaping can be performed.

Hereinafter, other embodiments of the present invention will be described, and the same components as those of the above embodiment will not be described.

4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention in which the food receiving portion 200 is formed in the shape of a trident, and the present invention is applied to a fork.

Also in this embodiment, since the grip portion 100 can be stably held by placing the thumb on the thumb-fit ring 110 and placing the stop finger on the stop finger groove 120, ) Can eat food well.
