Description

食器Tableware
 本発明は、介護食その他の食物を容易に食べることができる食器に関するものであり、特に手先が不自由な老人や障害者の使用に適した食器に関するものである。 The present invention relates to tableware that can be used to easily eat nursing food and other foods, and particularly to tableware that is suitable for use by elderly people with disabilities and disabled people.
 従来、皿等の内部の食物をスプーンを使用して取り出しやすくするための考案が提案されている。 Conventionally, there has been proposed a device for making it easy to take out food inside a dish using a spoon.
 特許文献1には、食器に入れた飲食物が少なくなった後に飲食物をスプ一ンですくい取る際、スプーンを前後、左右に動かしたり、スプーンとは反対の手で直接食器を把持して同時に動かす必要のない食器等を提供することを目的とする考案が開示されている。すなわち、底面部(3)および底面部(3)を囲む周壁(5)とからなる収容部(7)が設けられていて、前記周壁(5)には収容部側から外側に向かって形成した窪み部(17)が設けられており、当該窪み部(17)に連なる底面部(3)には凹部(9)が設けられており、前記凹部(9)は、スプーン(11)先端のすくい部(13)が略収容可能となるような大きさおよび形状に形成されている皿である。 In Patent Literature 1, when the food and drink are scooped with a spoon after the food and drink in the table has been reduced, the spoon is moved back and forth, left and right, or the tableware is held directly with the hand opposite to the spoon. A device intended to provide tableware or the like that does not need to be moved simultaneously is disclosed. That is, a housing portion (7) including a bottom surface portion (3) and a peripheral wall (5) surrounding the bottom surface portion (3) is provided, and the peripheral wall (5) is formed outward from the housing portion side. A recess (17) is provided, and a recess (9) is provided in the bottom surface (3) connected to the recess (17), and the recess (9) is a scoop at the tip of the spoon (11). It is the dish currently formed in the magnitude | size and shape which can accommodate a part (13) substantially.
 このような形状にすることによって、スプーン(11)のすくい部(13)を凹部(9)に対して入れると、凹部(9)に貯まっているスープ等の飲食物がスプーン(11)によってあふれるように押しやられ、スプーン(11)内に入るようにすることができるとされている。そして、凹部(9)内に収容されたスープ等の飲食物をスプーン(11)を使用して飲食する際、極端にすくい取るような状態にしなくても、スプーン(11)のすくい部(13)をそのままの姿勢あるいは若干傾けた程度の状態で凹部(9)内に差し入れて載置することにより、凹部(9)内に貯まっている飲食物をすくい部(13)内に入れることが可能であるとされている。 With this shape, when the rake part (13) of the spoon (11) is inserted into the recess (9), food and drink such as soup stored in the recess (9) overflows with the spoon (11). So that it can be pushed into the spoon (11). And when eating and drinking food such as soup contained in the recess (9) using the spoon (11), the rake portion (13 ) Can be inserted into the recess (9) in the same posture or slightly tilted, and the food and drink stored in the recess (9) can be put into the scooping portion (13). It is said that.
 特許文献2には、皿本体(1)の中央部にスプーン型の凹部(3)設けた食器皿が開示されている。これによれば、食べ終わる時、このくぼみ(3)にスプーン(4)を使っておかずを集めすくいながら食べることできるとされている。 Patent Document 2 discloses a tableware provided with a spoon-shaped recess (3) at the center of the plate body (1). According to this, when eating is finished, it is said that it can be eaten while scooping the side dishes using a spoon (4) in this hollow (3).
 特許文献3には、スープ皿の底の一部にスプーンの頭が入る程度のへこみを設け、このへこみにスープが流れこむようにするため、皿の底面に傾斜をつくったスープ皿が開示されている。 Patent Document 3 discloses a soup plate in which a dent is provided in the bottom of the soup plate so that the head of the spoon can enter, and the bottom of the plate is inclined to allow the soup to flow into this dent. Yes.

 上記文献に記載されている食器においては、食器底部のごく一部にへこみが設けられているのみであり、飲食物の大部分がなくなった状態においてはじめて有効に機能するへこみに過ぎない。そのため、飲食物が食器に多く残っている状況においては使いにくいという共通する問題点がある。特許文献1に記載の皿の場合、皿内に収容された飲食物をスプーンによって取り出す際、残り少なくなった食物を特定された凹部に集める必要もある。
特許文献2のようなへこみの構成だと、へこみが小さいと共にへこみの場所が隠蔽されてしまい、そのへこみの場所を発見しづらいという問題も生じる。また、特許文献3に記載されるスープ皿の場合は粘性の高い飲食物などには不適である。
In the tableware described in the above-mentioned document, only a dent is provided in a small part of the bottom of the tableware, and it is only a dent that functions effectively only when most of the food and drink are eliminated. Therefore, there is a common problem that it is difficult to use in a situation where a large amount of food and drink remains in the tableware. In the case of the dish described in Patent Document 1, when food or drink contained in the dish is taken out with a spoon, it is also necessary to collect the remaining food in the specified recess.
In the configuration of the dent as in Patent Document 2, the dent is small and the dent location is concealed, which causes a problem that it is difficult to find the dent location. In addition, the soup plate described in Patent Document 3 is not suitable for food and drink with high viscosity.
 更に、特許文献1に記載の皿は一般的な皿と異なる非対称の特異な形状をしており、飲食支援を目的とした特殊な皿であることが一目で分かってしまう。手先が不自由な老人や障害者であっても、健常者と同様の食器を使用して飲食物を食したいというニーズが潜在的に存在すると思われる。一般的な食器と外観が大きく変わる食器というのは、こうした手先が不自由な人等のモチベーション向上や自立支援という観点からの配慮が乏しいと言わざるを得ない。 Furthermore, the dish described in Patent Document 1 has an asymmetric and unusual shape that is different from that of a general dish, and it can be seen at a glance that it is a special dish intended for food and beverage support. There seems to be a potential need to eat food and drink using the same tableware as healthy people, even for elderly people with disabilities and disabled people. General tableware and tableware whose appearance changes greatly must be said to have little consideration from the standpoint of improving motivation and independence support for those who are handicapped.

本発明では、食器とは茶碗、丼あるいは皿など飲食物を収容できる容器を指すが、本実施形態では茶碗について説明する。食器の材質には特に制限はなく、金属、セラミック、プラスチック、ガラス等で構成することができるが、強度と軽量性のバランスに優れたプラスチックが好ましい。つまり、プラスチック製の場合、誤って食器を落としたときにも容易に破損しないという利点がある。また、金属やガラスに比べて軽量である。このため、手先が不自由な老人や障害者あるいは怪我等で手先が自由に使えない人等でも使いやすい。
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the present invention, tableware refers to a container that can contain food and drink such as a tea bowl, a bowl, or a dish. In this embodiment, a tea bowl will be described. There is no restriction | limiting in particular in the material of tableware, Although it can comprise with a metal, a ceramic, a plastics, glass, etc., the plastics excellent in the balance of intensity | strength and lightness are preferable. That is, in the case of plastic, there is an advantage that it is not easily damaged even if the tableware is accidentally dropped. In addition, it is lighter than metals and glass. For this reason, it is easy to use even for an elderly person who is handicapped, a handicapped person or a person who cannot use his hand freely due to injury.
 茶碗1は通常の食事用のものであり、円形の底面10と底面10を囲む円筒形の周壁13を備えており内部に各種の食物を収容できる構造である。図1、図2に示すように、前記底面10の中央には、円形状で外側に向かって傾斜面11aを形成した隆起部11を構成し、この隆起部11の全周、つまり周壁13下端の内側全周に沿って環状に凹部12が形成されている。図2に記載の断面図から理解できるように、当該凹部12は下に凸の湾曲面12aで構成されており、凹部12の最底部は環状の線を描く。また、底面10の中央部から前記凹部12の最底部に到達するまでは、底面10の中央から外周に向かって下方に傾斜するのみであるか、あるいは、下方に傾斜する箇所と水平な箇所の組み合わせのみで構成されており、上方に傾斜する面が存在しないことがスプーン2を使って食物を凹部12に移動させやすいことから好ましい。 The tea bowl 1 is for ordinary meals, and has a circular bottom surface 10 and a cylindrical peripheral wall 13 surrounding the bottom surface 10 so that various foods can be accommodated therein. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a raised portion 11 is formed in the center of the bottom surface 10 and is formed in a circular shape with an inclined surface 11 a toward the outside. The entire circumference of the raised portion 11, that is, the lower end of the peripheral wall 13 is formed. A recess 12 is formed in an annular shape along the entire inner periphery of the. As can be understood from the sectional view shown in FIG. 2, the concave portion 12 is configured by a curved surface 12 a convex downward, and the bottom of the concave portion 12 draws an annular line. In addition, until it reaches the bottom of the concave portion 12 from the center of the bottom surface 10, it is only inclined downward from the center of the bottom surface 10 toward the outer periphery, or the portion inclined downward and the horizontal portion It is preferably composed only of a combination, and it is preferable that there is no upwardly inclined surface because it is easy to move food to the recess 12 using the spoon 2.
 周壁13の高さは特に制限はないが、食器としての実用性を考えると、底面10の前記凹部12の最底部の高さを基準にして1.5~12cmであることが一般的であり、2.5~9.0cmであることが典型的である。食器の平面寸法は、食器としての実用性を考えて、周壁13の高さを考慮しながら適宜設定すればよいが、水平投影面積で表して18~800cmとなる大きさが一般的であり、28~400cmとなる大きさが典型的である。 The height of the peripheral wall 13 is not particularly limited, but in consideration of practicality as tableware, it is generally 1.5 to 12 cm based on the height of the bottom of the concave portion 12 of the bottom surface 10. 2.5 to 9.0 cm is typical. The plane dimensions of the tableware may be appropriately set in consideration of the height of the peripheral wall 13 in consideration of practicality as tableware. However, the size is generally 18 to 800 cm 2 in terms of a horizontal projection area. A size of 28 to 400 cm 2 is typical.
 この凹部12の表面の湾曲面12aは、スプーン2のすくい部22の前方の湾曲部22aに対応した形状、すなわち前記湾曲面12aと湾曲部22aの曲線が同一かあるいは近似していて、スプーン2で凹部12内の食物30を容易にかつ残さずにすくうことができる形状である。外観上に違和感がないという観点、食物をすくい上げやすいという観点、及び使いやすさという観点からは、凹部は深さが0.2~2.0cmであることが好ましく、0.3~1.5cmであることがより好ましく、0.4~1.0cmであることが更により好ましい。また、食事用の一般的なスプーンが利用可能であるという観点から、凹部の幅は1.5~4.5cmであることが好ましく、1.8~4.0cmであることがより好ましく、2.0~3.5cmであることが更により好ましい。 The curved surface 12a on the surface of the concave portion 12 has a shape corresponding to the curved portion 22a in front of the rake portion 22 of the spoon 2, that is, the curved surface 12a and the curved portion 22a have the same or approximate curves. Thus, the food 30 in the recess 12 can be easily and easily left without being left behind. From the viewpoint that there is no sense of incongruity in appearance, the viewpoint that it is easy to scoop up food, and the viewpoint that it is easy to use, the recess preferably has a depth of 0.2 to 2.0 cm, preferably 0.3 to 1.5 cm. More preferably, it is 0.4 to 1.0 cm. Further, from the viewpoint that a general spoon for meals can be used, the width of the recess is preferably 1.5 to 4.5 cm, more preferably 1.8 to 4.0 cm. Even more preferably, it is 0.0 to 3.5 cm.
 前記凹部の幅は、スプーンを上手く差し入れることを可能とするためにスプーンのすくい部の横幅と同じかそれよりも長いほうが都合がよいが、凹部の幅を広げすぎると凹部を設けて食物をすくいやすくするという利点が減殺されることから、食物のすくいやすさを重視する場合は、前記凹部の幅は、スプーンのすくい部の横幅と同じかむしろ短いほうが望ましい。具体的には、凹部の幅はスプーンのすくい部の横幅と同じかそれよりも2.5cm以内だけ短いことが好ましく、スプーンのすくい部の横幅に対して0.5~2.2cmだけ短いことがより好ましく、スプーンのすくい部の横幅に対して0.8~2.0cmだけ短いことが更により好ましい。 It is convenient that the width of the concave portion is equal to or longer than the horizontal width of the rake portion of the spoon in order to allow a spoon to be inserted well. Since the advantage of easy scooping is diminished, the width of the recess is preferably equal to or shorter than the horizontal width of the scooping portion of the spoon when emphasizing the scooping of food. Specifically, the width of the recess is preferably equal to or shorter than the width of the rake portion of the spoon by 2.5 cm or less and shorter by 0.5 to 2.2 cm than the width of the rake portion of the spoon. Is more preferable, and it is even more preferable that the width is 0.8 to 2.0 cm shorter than the width of the rake portion of the spoon.
 前記凹部内の食物を効率的にすくうという観点から、前記凹部はすくい部を下方にしてすくい部の横幅方向が前記凹部の幅方向と平行になるように前記凹部の最底部にスプーンを直立(スプーンが最も高くなる方向を指す。)させたときにすくい部の長さに対してすくい部が下端から5%以上収容可能な大きさに形成されていることが好ましく、10%以上収容可能な大きさに形成されていることがより好ましく、20%以上収容可能な大きさに形成されていることが更により好ましく、30%以上収容可能な大きさに形成されていることが更により好ましい。ただし、外観上の違和感を軽減するという観点や使いやすさの観点からは、前記凹部はすくい部を下方にしてすくい部の横幅方向が前記凹部の幅方向と平行になるように前記凹部の最底部にスプーンを直立させたときにすくい部の全体が収容可能な大きさよりも小さく形成されていることが好ましく、すくい部の長さに対してすくい部が下端から50%以下収容可能な大きさに形成されていることがより好ましい。 From the viewpoint of efficiently scooping up the food in the recess, the recess is erected on the bottom of the recess so that the rake portion faces downward and the lateral width direction of the rake portion is parallel to the width direction of the recess ( It is preferable that the rake part is formed in a size that can accommodate 5% or more from the lower end with respect to the length of the rake part when the spoon is raised. More preferably, it is formed to a size that can accommodate 20% or more, and even more preferably, it is formed to a size that can accommodate 30% or more. However, from the viewpoint of reducing discomfort in appearance and ease of use, the concave portion is positioned at the bottom of the concave portion so that the horizontal portion of the concave portion is parallel to the width direction of the concave portion. It is preferable that the entire rake portion is formed smaller than the size that can be accommodated when the spoon stands upright at the bottom, and the rake portion can accommodate 50% or less from the lower end relative to the length of the rake portion. More preferably, it is formed.
 ここで、すくい部の長さとは、スプーンの向きをすくい部に最も液体を充填可能な向きに設定し、このときに液体がこぼれない限界まで液体を充填したと仮定したときに形成される液面をすくい部の境界と定義し、前述した方法でスプーンを直立(スプーンが最も高くなる方向を指す。)させたときの、すくい部の下端から上端までの長さである。 Here, the length of the rake part is the liquid formed when the direction of the spoon is set to the direction in which the rake part can be filled with the most liquid, and it is assumed that the liquid is filled to the limit at which the liquid does not spill. The surface is defined as the boundary of the rake portion, and is the length from the lower end to the upper end of the rake portion when the spoon is erected by the above-described method (pointing to the direction in which the spoon is highest).
 本実施形態では前記湾曲面12aの形状とスプーン2の縁が形成する湾曲部22aを同一形状としている。また前記湾曲面12aは、スプーン2の湾曲部22aの形状に対応して変更することができ、あるいは湾曲面12aに対応するスプーン2を選択することもできる。 In this embodiment, the shape of the curved surface 12a and the curved portion 22a formed by the edge of the spoon 2 have the same shape. Moreover, the said curved surface 12a can be changed corresponding to the shape of the curved part 22a of the spoon 2, or the spoon 2 corresponding to the curved surface 12a can also be selected.
 図3、図4に示すように、前記スプーン2は柄部21と食物30を入れるすくい部22からなり、前記すくい部22の前方の湾曲部22aの形状は、前述のように前記凹部12の湾曲面12aと同一形状であるため、スプーン2のすくい部22は常に凹部12表面に密着しながら移動することができ、食物30を効率良く残さずにすくうことができる。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the spoon 2 includes a handle portion 21 and a rake portion 22 into which food 30 is placed. The shape of the curved portion 22 a in front of the rake portion 22 is the same as that of the recess portion 12 as described above. Since it has the same shape as the curved surface 12a, the scooping portion 22 of the spoon 2 can always move while being in close contact with the surface of the concave portion 12, and can be scooped without leaving food 30 efficiently.
 上記のように構成した実施形態1の作用を説明する。
 例えば介護食では食物がペースト状のものが多く、茶碗内の食物が減ってくるとだんだん食べにくくなってくる。このような場合に、使用者は図5に示すように、スプーン2で底面10上の食物30を隆起部11の傾斜面11aを利用して凹部12に集めて溜まっている食物30をすくう。
The operation of the first embodiment configured as described above will be described.
For example, many nursing foods are pasty, and as food in the bowl decreases, it becomes harder to eat. In such a case, as shown in FIG. 5, the user scoops up the food 30 collected by collecting the food 30 on the bottom surface 10 with the spoon 2 in the recess 12 using the inclined surface 11 a of the raised portion 11.
 このとき、スプーン2のすくい部22を凹部12に沿って、かつすくい部22の前方を凹部12の表面に接触させながら移動させると、凹部12に溜まっている食物30がスプーン2の内に入っていく。その後、図6に示すように、スプーン2で食物30をすくい上げて口に運んで食べる。 At this time, when the rake portion 22 of the spoon 2 is moved along the recess 12 while the front of the rake portion 22 is brought into contact with the surface of the recess 12, the food 30 accumulated in the recess 12 enters the spoon 2. To go. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6, the food 30 is scooped up with the spoon 2 and carried to the mouth for eating.
 この場合、スプーン2の位置が図5に示すように、凹部12の内側に位置していればスプーン2の押圧力は茶碗1の内側にかかり倒れる恐れはない。
しかし、図7に示すようにスプーン2が凹部12の外側上方に位置し、スプーン2の押圧力のかかる位置12cが凹部12の上方になった場合は茶碗1には外側に向かう力が働き不安定となるが、糸尻15が凹部12の最底部12bより外側にあるため、茶碗1は糸尻15によって安定して支持される。
In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, if the position of the spoon 2 is located inside the recess 12, the pressing force of the spoon 2 is applied to the inside of the bowl 1 and there is no fear of falling down.
However, as shown in FIG. 7, when the spoon 2 is positioned above the concave portion 12 and the position 12 c to which the pressing force of the spoon 2 is applied is above the concave portion 12, the outward force is not exerted on the bowl 1. Although it is stable, the teacup 1 is stably supported by the yarn bottom 15 because the yarn tail 15 is outside the bottom 12 b of the recess 12.
 また、図8のようにスプーン2を周壁13の表面13aに接触させながら上方に移動させて食べる場合もあるが、このときはスプーン2によって周壁13の表面13aに水平方向に押す力Fが加わるが、糸尻15で安定して支持されているため、一方の手であるいは他の人が茶碗1を支える必要がない。
 したがって使用者は常に片手でスプーン2を持って移動させれば、食物30を容易かつ残さずにすくうことができるのである。また、食物を入れたスプーン2を前記凹部12から周壁13に沿って上方に移動させるときに前記凹部12の湾曲面が周壁13に段差無く連結されているとスプーン2をスムーズに移動させることができる。
Further, as shown in FIG. 8, there is a case where the spoon 2 is moved upward while being brought into contact with the surface 13 a of the peripheral wall 13, but at this time, a force F is applied to the surface 13 a of the peripheral wall 13 by the spoon 2 in the horizontal direction. However, since it is stably supported by the thread end 15, it is not necessary for one hand or the other person to support the teacup 1.
Therefore, if the user always holds the spoon 2 with one hand and moves it, the user can easily and easily leave the food 30 without leaving it. Further, when the spoon 2 containing food is moved upward along the peripheral wall 13 from the recess 12, the spoon 2 can be moved smoothly if the curved surface of the recess 12 is connected to the peripheral wall 13 without a step. it can.
 本実施形態においては前記周壁13は垂直部分を含むが、垂直に限らず傾斜した部分を有することもできる。例えば図示はしないが、図2の周壁13の内壁及び外壁の両者を凹部12の上端付近から外側に平均傾斜角度が20°以内、好ましくは10°以内、より好ましくは5°以内となるように傾斜させることができ、この構成でも上述のようにスプーン2による力が加わっても茶碗1は安定して支持されるのである。 In the present embodiment, the peripheral wall 13 includes a vertical portion, but the peripheral wall 13 may have an inclined portion as well as a vertical portion. For example, although not shown, both the inner wall and the outer wall of the peripheral wall 13 in FIG. 2 are set to have an average inclination angle within 20 °, preferably within 10 °, more preferably within 5 °, from the vicinity of the upper end of the recess 12 to the outside. Even in this configuration, the teacup 1 is stably supported even when force is applied by the spoon 2 as described above.
 本実施形態の効果は、次のとおりである。
凹部12内に収容された食物30をスプーン2を使用して食する際、スプーン2のすくい部22を凹部12内に差し入れて凹部12の表面に接触させて移動させるだけで、凹部12内に溜まっている食物をすくい部22内に入れて食することができる。さらに前記凹部12が底面10の外周の全周にわたって構成されているため、残り少なくなった食物をこぼすことなく確実、容易に取り出すことができる。
The effects of this embodiment are as follows.
When the food 30 contained in the recess 12 is eaten using the spoon 2, the rake portion 22 of the spoon 2 is inserted into the recess 12 and moved by contacting the surface of the recess 12. The accumulated food can be put into the scooping portion 22 and eaten. Further, since the concave portion 12 is formed over the entire circumference of the bottom surface 10, the remaining food can be reliably and easily removed without spilling.
 図9は本発明の実施形態2の中央縦断面図である。
 本実施形態の茶碗1は、中央の底面40が半分だけ平坦であり、凹部12が底面の外周の半周にのみ構成されている。この構成では凹部12が小さくなるため、製造が容易であり食物30を凹部12に溜めやすいというメリットがある。このように凹部12は底面の外周の任意の位置に設けることができる。
FIG. 9 is a central longitudinal sectional view of Embodiment 2 of the present invention.
In the bowl 1 of the present embodiment, the center bottom 40 is flat by half, and the recess 12 is configured only on the outer circumference of the bottom. In this configuration, since the concave portion 12 is small, there is an advantage that the manufacturing is easy and the food 30 is easily stored in the concave portion 12. Thus, the recessed part 12 can be provided in the arbitrary positions of the outer periphery of a bottom face.

 本実施形態の食器は大皿3であり、中央の底面41が傾斜しておらず平坦であり、凹部12は全周に設けられている。この実施形態は、食器が扁平で大きな皿のような場合でも、前記実施形態1と同様の効果が得られるのである。
FIG. 10 is a central longitudinal sectional view of Embodiment 3 of the present invention.
The tableware of this embodiment is the platter 3, the center bottom face 41 is not inclined and is flat, and the recess 12 is provided on the entire circumference. In this embodiment, even when the tableware is a flat and large dish, the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained.
 図11は本発明の実施形態4の中央縦断面図である。
 本実施形態の茶碗1は、前記実施形態1の茶碗1の底面10の断面の平均肉厚D2と糸尻15の断面の平均肉厚D3を、周壁13の断面の平均肉厚D1より厚く構成したため茶碗1の重心が低くなり、使用に際し一層の安定支持を図ることができるのである。より具体的には、糸尻15の外周よりも外側にある部分の平均肉厚に対して、糸尻15の外周よりも内側にある部分の平均肉厚が1.1倍以上であることが好ましく、1.3倍以上であることがより好ましく、1.5倍以上であることが更により好ましい。ただし、糸尻15の外周よりも内側にある部分の平均肉厚が過度に大きくなると外観上の違和感が生じることから、糸尻15の外周よりも外側にある部分の平均肉厚に対して、糸尻の外周よりも内側にある部分の平均肉厚が3倍以下であることが好ましく、2.5倍以下であることがより好ましい。
FIG. 11 is a central longitudinal sectional view of Embodiment 4 of the present invention.
The teacup 1 of the present embodiment is configured such that the average thickness D2 of the cross section of the bottom surface 10 of the teacup 1 of the first embodiment and the average thickness D3 of the cross section of the yarn bottom 15 are larger than the average thickness D1 of the cross section of the peripheral wall 13. As a result, the center of gravity of the teacup 1 is lowered, and further stable support can be achieved during use. More specifically, the average thickness of the portion inside the outer periphery of the yarn bottom 15 is 1.1 times or more of the average thickness of the portion outside the outer periphery of the yarn bottom 15. Preferably, it is 1.3 times or more, more preferably 1.5 times or more. However, if the average thickness of the portion on the inner side of the outer periphery of the yarn bottom 15 is excessively large, an uncomfortable appearance will occur, so the average thickness of the portion on the outer side of the outer periphery of the yarn bottom 15 is It is preferable that the average thickness of the portion inside the outer periphery of the yarn tail is 3 times or less, and more preferably 2.5 times or less.
 そして、安定支持という観点からは、糸尻15の外周よりも外側にある部分の全質量Aに対する、糸尻15の外周よりも内側にある部分の全質量Bの比率(B/A)が0.3以上であることが好ましく、0.5以上であることがより好ましく、0.8以上であることが更により好ましい。上限は特に設定されないが、糸尻15の外周よりも内側にある部分の質量の比率を高めるために当該部分を過度に肉厚にすると製造コストが高くなり、また、通常の食器との外観上の相違が大きくなることから、一般には、糸尻15の外周よりも外側にある部分の全質量Aに対する糸尻15の外周よりも内側にある部分の全質量Bの比率(B/A)は1.5以下であり、典型的には1.2以下であり、より典型的には1.0以下である。また、図示はしないが実施形態2、3の食器についても同様の構成を採用できる。 From the viewpoint of stable support, the ratio (B / A) of the total mass B of the portion inside the outer periphery of the yarn bottom 15 to the total mass A of the portion outside the outer periphery of the yarn bottom 15 is 0. Is preferably 3 or more, more preferably 0.5 or more, and even more preferably 0.8 or more. Although the upper limit is not particularly set, if the portion is made too thick in order to increase the mass ratio of the portion inside the outer periphery of the thread tail 15, the manufacturing cost increases, and the appearance with normal tableware is increased. In general, the ratio (B / A) of the total mass B of the portion inside the outer periphery of the yarn bottom 15 to the total mass A of the portion outside the outer periphery of the yarn bottom 15 is 1.5 or less, typically 1.2 or less, and more typically 1.0 or less. Moreover, although not shown in figure, the same structure is employable also about the tableware of Embodiment 2,3.
