Description

The utility model relates to holders of writing instruments and can be used to develop writing and drawing skills in people with motor dysfunctions (ICP), as well as a hand fine motor simulator to restore lost motor functions due to a stroke or various injuries.

Today, there are various types of writing instrument holders designed for the hand. Some of them are worn on the index, thumb or other finger. But at the same time, they require the use of other fingers to hold the device and small items while writing or drawing, which is a problem for people with impaired fine motor skills of the hand and motor functions. Many of these devices do not have a size range. Other devices either have permanently installed writing instruments that cannot be replaced, or a hole in the holder designed for writing instruments that only fits a certain size of instruments and cannot be adjusted.

Thus, there is a need for a writing instrument holder that is suitable for use by individuals with fine hand and motor impairments based on their capabilities. In addition, there is a need for a device that allows you to fix, adjust and change different types of writing instruments. Also, a wide size range of the product is needed so that the user can choose the most suitable size for his fingers.
Known writing device Gorbunov according to the patent for the invention of the Russian Federation No. 2022799, MPK5 B 43 K 23/00, 13.01.1992, op. November 15, 1994. The device contains a holder connected to the body with a hole for attaching the body to the finger of the hand and a writing element installed in the body. The holder is integral with the housing and is located at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the housing at its end face from the side opposite to the writing element. The opening of the holder has an oval shape. The device makes it possible to reduce fatigue during prolonged work of a writing person, as well as to master writing for persons suffering from low finger mobility, with partial absence of fingers, and for young children.

The disadvantage of this device is the lack of a mechanism for adjusting writing instruments and their variability. The presence of a built-in writing element does not allow you to select different types of writing instruments.

One of the tasks underlying the utility model is to create a device that allows people with fine motor impairments, as well as people recovering from injuries and strokes, to write and draw using various writing instruments. The next task is to create a writing instrument holder that allows you to fix, adjust and change different types of writing instruments. Another object is to provide a writing instrument holder that can be used without directly gripping and holding the device and writing instrument with the fingers.

The solution of the tasks is carried out by the design of the device. It has two rings for attaching the body to the fingers and an associated hole in the holder for writing instruments, where a regulating mechanism is provided in the form of a threaded connection with a screw, which will allow you to stably fix writing instruments of various diameters. Securely fixing the writing instrument can ensure that the device does not slip out while writing or drawing on paper or the touch screen of an electronic device. Examples of writing instruments compatible with the device include, but are not limited to, an art brush, pen, pencil (e.g., mechanical pencil, graphite pencil, etc.), felt-tip pen, marker, stylus (for touch screen electronic devices), etc. .d.

The product provides for the presence of a size range, which is determined by the possible sizes of the fingers of a person's hand. The writing instrument holder can be used by both right-handed and left-handed people.

The holder for writing instruments is convenient for people with impaired fine motor skills of the hand due to the fact that the design of the product, formed as a whole, is attached to the main phalanx of the index and middle fingers, which does not require direct grip and holding of the device and writing instrument with the fingers.

The writing utensil holder is also suitable for functioning with a non-standard way of gripping the device, for example, by persons affected by cerebral palsy or other similar diseases.

The holder for writing instruments can be made of PLA, PETG plastic using 3D printing, or in industrial production using known technologies from modern materials, which confirms that the utility model meets the criterion of "industrial applicability".

The technical result is aimed at expanding the arsenal of holders for writing instruments intended for people with impaired motor functions of the hand, allowing the holder to be used without directly grabbing and holding with the fingers of both the holder itself and various types and diameters of a writing instrument.

The holder for writing contains a body 1, which is a single whole structure with three radially arranged holes, two round holes 4 are made with the possibility of fastening the body on the main phalanx of the index and middle fingers, the third drop-shaped hole 2 is made with a regulating mechanism in the form of a threaded connection (not shown) and screw 3.

Brief description of the drawings

The claimed device is illustrated by the following drawings.

Fig. 1 shows the general design of the device.

Implementation of the utility model

Holder for writing instruments works as follows. The index and middle fingers are threaded inside two rings 4, fixing them on the main phalanx of the fingers. A writing instrument 5 is inserted into the opening of the holder 2, mainly: an art brush, a pencil, a pen, a felt-tip pen, a marker or a stylus (for electronic devices with a touch screen). The fixation of the writing instrument 5 and the adjustment of the diameter of the hole 2 intended for writing implements is provided by a mechanism that operates by screwing in or out of the screw 3 in the provided threaded hole (not shown) in the holder structure. Having fixed the writing instrument in this way, a person with impaired fine motor skills of the hand can draw or write.
