Abstract
The present invention relates to a device for right grip of a writing tool. The device for right grip of a writing tool includes: a thumb seating part formed on the side wall surface of the lower portion of the thumb contact preventing part for seating the thumb thereon; an index finger seating part formed on the side wall surface of the lower portion of the index finger contact preventing part for seating the index finger thereon; a middle finger seating part downwardly extending from the front and lower portion of the body to a portion, where the writing tool and the user's middle finger are in contact with each other, for supporting a part of the middle finger and a coupling part for fixing the writing tool to the body at a predetermined angle. The device for right grip of the writing tool can naturally correct the user's wrong grip posture, and prevent loss of concentration power and deformity of fingers by reducing the user's fatigue generated during writing.
Description
- The present invention relates to a device for right grip of a writing tool, and more particularly, to a device for right grip of a writing tool, which has an ergonomically curved body, and seating parts formed on specific parts of the body for seating a user's thumb, index finger and middle finger in a preferable posture, thereby naturally correcting a grip posture at the same time with gripping of the writing tool.
- The wrong grip of a writing tool makes a user's, particularly, children's fingers deformed, and strains the user's fingers, wrist, shoulders, and so on.
- In more detail, the right and preferable grip posture is that a predetermined space part is formed between the thumb and the index finger when the user' thumb and index finger grasp the writing tool (see
FIG. 11 ). - At this time, as excessive force is applied to meridian point portions at the tips of the fingers if the user grasps the writing tool for a long time period, the user's thumb and index finger gradually comes in close contact with the writing tool, and the thumb and the index finger also gradually comes in contact with each other, and thereby, the volume of the space part formed between the thumb and the index finger becomes gradually reduced (see
FIG. 12 ). - Such wrong grip posture is one of main causes of finger deformity, and there is therefore a need for a writing tool, which can provide an effective and natural grip posture capable of keeping a right gripping condition even though the user uses the writing tool for a long time.
- Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a device for right grip of a writing tool, which includes a thumb seating part and an index finger seating part curved in the same form as a space portion formed between the thumb and the index finger, and a middle finger seating part extending to a portion, where the writing tool and the middle finger come in contact with each other, from the front and lower portion of the thumb and index finger seating parts so as to support a portion of the middle finger, thereby preventing a close contact between the thumb and the index finger by forcedly separating the thumb and the index finger.
- Another object of the present invention to provide a device for right grip of a writing tool, which further includes a thumb support part formed on the lower portion of the thumb seating part for supporting the thumb, through holes formed in the thumb and index finger seating parts, the middle finger seating part and the thumb support part for absorbing sweat, and embossed portions for finger pressing and slip prevention, thereby allowing a user to use it more safely and agreeably.
- To achieve the above objects, the present invention provides a device for right grip of a writing tool including: a body having a curved surface; a thumb contact preventing part and an index finger contact preventing part curved on the upper surface of the body in the same form as a space formed between a user' thumb and index finger in a state where the user grasps the writing tool with the thumb and the index finger so as to prevent a close contact of the thumb and the index finger with the writing tool, the thumb contact preventing part and the index finger contact preventing part being in contact with the upper surface of the body; a thumb seating part formed on the side wall surface of the lower portion of the thumb contact preventing part for seating the thumb thereon; an index finger seating part formed on the side wall surface of the lower portion of the index finger contact preventing part for seating the index finger thereon; a middle finger seating part downwardly extending from the front and lower portion of the body to a portion, where the writing tool and the user's middle finger are in contact with each other, for supporting a part of the middle finger; and a coupling part for fixing the writing tool to the body at a predetermined angle.
- It is preferable that the device for right grip of a writing tool further includes a thumb support part laterally extending from the middle finger seating part for supporting the thumb.
- The coupling part may be an insertion hole perforating the body at a predetermined gradient for inserting and fixing the writing tool thereto.
- The coupling part may be a groove cut on a side section of the body at a predetermined angle for forcedly fitting the writing tool into a side surface of the body.
- The groove may be formed on a side portion of the thumb and index finger seating parts, which contacts the index finger, or on the lower end surface of the body.
- Furthermore, it is preferable that the coupling part has a slip prevention part formed on a portion which contacts the outer circumferential surface of the writing tool.
- The slip prevention part is a frictional protrusion formed on the inner circumferential surface of the insertion hole or the inner surface of the groove.
- It is preferable that a number of friction protrusions are in the form of a screw thread, a circle, or a semicircle.
- Meanwhile, it is preferable that the body includes: a first body which is in contact with the thumb at the outer surface thereof; and a second body which is in contact with the index finger at the outer surface thereof, wherein the first body has a plurality of first projections formed on the inner surface thereof, each of the plurality of first projections having a through-hole formed therein, and the second body has a plurality of second projections formed on the inner surface thereof to correspond to the plurality of first projections, such that each of the plurality of second projections is forcedly fitted into the corresponding through-hole of the plurality of first projections.
- It is preferable that the body further includes a third body formed on the upper portions of the first and second bodies for covering the coupling part and the slip prevention part formed inside the body.
- The slip prevention part may be an elastic member formed on one side or both sides of the inner surfaces of the first and second bodies for applying an elastic force to the outer circumferential surface of the writing tool.
- It is preferable that the elastic member is an arc-shaped plate type spring fragment having a predetermined curvature radius, and both ends of the spring fragment are locked and supported by a support portion formed on the inner surface of the first body or the second body.
- It is preferable that the first body or the second body has a slip prevention layer laminated on the outer surface thereof, the slip prevention layer being made of rubber material or elastic resin material having a predetermined friction force.
- It is preferable that at least one of the thumb seating part, the index finger seating part, the middle finger seating part and the thumb support part further has a number of through holes and/or embossed portions formed on the outer surface thereof which is in close contact with the thumb and the index finger for absorbing and evaporating sweat to thereby keep a user's agreeable contact feeling.
- In the present invention, the body has the same conception as the writing tools of the first to fourth embodiments, which will be described later, and a body, which will be described in the fifth embodiment later, is what an elastic fragment, which will be described later, is excluded.
- Furthermore, the thumb and index finger seating parts are specific parts on which a user's thumb and index finger are seated on the body.
