Description

The present invention relates to a meal plate used when an infant or a handicapped person eats, and a spoon-width groove is formed in the plate in the horizontal direction so that rice, side dishes, etc. are provided in the groove. When food is dropped and an infant or a handicapped person moves the spoon from one end of the groove to the other end along the groove and reaches the other end edge The present invention relates to a meal plate for an infant or a handicapped person who is prevented from moving the food and can easily scoop up and eat without spilling food with the spoon.

In the case of a person with disabilities and a handicapped person, relatives and caregivers helped with meals. And about the technical idea of dropping food into the long groove formed in the plate and scooping it up with a spoon, even if retrospective search of past patent documents is conducted, no technical idea that is the same or similar is disclosed. Only the "portable tableware" shown in the following patent document is disclosed.

Utility Model Registration No. 3110750

The above-mentioned meal plate for an infant or handicapped person is simply formed in a plate shape with a synthetic resin so that it will not crack even if dropped. Does not have a means to move food with a spoon along a ditch, gather the food at the end, and scoop up with the spoon, so infants or handicapped people will spill food There was a problem.

Further, the invention described in Patent Document 1 relates to “portable tableware”, and even when a family with an infant eats out at a restaurant or the like, food can be easily and efficiently shredded, etc. It is designed so that it can be operated, but it is not intended for infants or handicapped persons themselves to eat food with their hands. As a result, there has been a problem that infants or handicapped people cannot be trained in eating.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and has a spoon-width groove on the plate and is recessed in the lateral direction, and food such as rice and side dishes is dropped into the groove, so that an infant or When a handicapped person inserts a spoon into one end of the groove along the groove and moves the food to the other end side to reach the other end edge, the movement of the food is prevented. Therefore, without spilling food with the spoon as it is, it can be easily scooped up and eaten, and the infant or handicapped person can also be trained in meals. It is intended to provide a free person meal plate.

According to the present invention, a hard synthetic resin is used to form a protrusion on the outer peripheral edge, and to form a food placing plate having a flat surface surrounded by the protrusion, and a spoon is inserted on the flat surface. The above-mentioned problem has been solved by adopting a means in which at least one horizontally-long concave groove having a width that can slide in the horizontal direction is provided.

According to the present invention configured as described above, food is placed on the flat portion of the food placement plate, and an infant or a handicapped person uses his own spoon to drop the food into the groove. Then, when the spoon is inserted into one end side of the groove and the spoon is moved to the other end side together with the food to reach the other end edge, the movement of the food is prevented. In addition, the food can be easily scooped up and eaten on the spoon as it is, and an infant or a handicapped person can learn to eat cleanly without leaving food. Can also be trained.

It is the whole perspective view which shows an example of implementation of the meal plate of this invention infant or a handicapped person. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1 showing a state where food is dropped into the groove in the meal plate for the infant or handicapped person of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 1 showing a state where food is dropped into a ditch and is about to be scooped up in the meal plate for the infant or handicapped person of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB of FIG. 1 showing a state where food is dropped into the groove in the meal plate for the infant or handicapped person of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB of FIG. 1 showing a state where food is dropped into a ditch and is about to be scooped up in the meal plate for the infant or handicapped person of the present invention.

According to the present invention, a hard synthetic resin is used to form a protrusion on the outer peripheral edge, and to form a food placing plate having a flat surface surrounded by the protrusion, and a spoon is inserted on the flat surface. 1 is a meal plate for an infant or handicapped person formed by recessing at least one horizontally-long concave groove that can be slid in the horizontal direction. Will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view showing an example of an embodiment of a meal plate for an infant or handicapped person according to the present invention. A hard synthetic resin such as a melamine resin is provided with a protrusion 1 around an outer peripheral edge. The food placing plate 3 having the flat portion 2 surrounded by the protrusion 1 is formed and the front or rear position of the flat portion 2 is spaced so that an infant or a handicapped person can eat food. 4 is formed by recessing a horizontally elongated groove 6 that can slide a spoon 5 used when eating 4.

Further, at one end portion of the food placing plate 3, a protrusion 1 is further provided around the outer peripheral edge, and a food placing plate 3 a having a flat portion 2 surrounded by the protrusion 1 is integrally connected and fixed. In addition, the flat portion 2 is provided with one horizontally-long concave groove 6 that can slide a spoon 5 used when an infant or a handicapped person eats the food 4. Is formed.

The action of the meal plate for the infant or handicapped person of the present invention having the above-described structure will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, between the grooves 6 formed in the front and rear positions of the food placing plate 3. The food 4 is placed on the flat portion 2 of the food, and as shown in FIG. 3, an infant or a handicapped person himself uses the spoon 5 to place the food 4 on both the grooves 6. Alternatively, it drops into one of the grooves (in FIG. 3, it falls into one groove), and after that, the spoon 5 is inserted into one end of the groove 6 and the spoon 5 toward the other end. When the food 4 is moved to reach the other end edge, the movement of the food 4 is blocked, and the food 4 can be easily scooped up and eaten on the spoon 5 as it is. .

That is, it is difficult for an infant or a handicapped person to skillfully collect rice grains and corn scattered on a plate with a spoon. However, as described above, food 5 such as rice grains is dropped into the groove 6 and the spoon 5 This makes it possible for an infant or a handicapped person to acquire a habit of eating cleanly without leaving food 4.

Also, as shown in FIG. 4, food 4 is placed on the flat portion 2 of the food placing plate 3a, and as shown in FIG. 5, an infant or a handicapped person puts the spoon 5 on his / her own. Use the food 4 to drop into the groove 6, and then insert the spoon 5 into one end of the groove 6 and move the spoon 5 to the other end to move the other edge When reaching the portion, the movement of the food 4 is prevented, and the food 4 can be easily scooped up into the spoon 5 and eaten as it is.

In the above embodiment, the food placing plates 3 and 3a are integrally connected and fixed. However, any one of them may be removed, and the concave groove 6 may be at least one. The object can be achieved even with the concave configuration.
