Abstract

The device comprises a handle (1) connected to a spoon (2) on which a convex half cover (3) is placed. The cover has a cut-out (4) adapted to the user's upper lip. After having filled the spoon with liquid as the user carries it to his mouth if he tilts the handle downward the liquid falls into the reservoir thus formed and does not spill onto the user.

Description

<Desc/Clms Page number 1> <Desc / Clms Page number 1>

La présente invention concerne un dispositif que l'on ajoute à une cuillère normale, destinée à contenir du liquide, pour permettre l'écoulement intégral de ce dernier dans la bouche de l'utilisateur. The present invention relates to a device which is added to a normal spoon, intended to contain liquid, to allow the complete flow of the latter into the mouth of the user.

L'emploi traditionnel d'une cuillère normale, pleine de liquide, par un utilisateur âgé, risque l'écoulement sur ce dernier par perte de la notion d'horizontalité de la cuillère.  The traditional use of a normal spoon, full of liquid, by an elderly user, risks the flow on this last by loss of the concept of horizontality of the spoon.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient. Il comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique, un cuilleron au bout du manche de la cuillère sur lequel on place un demi-couvercle bombé du côté du manche ; ainsi, quand l'utilisateur remplit la dite cuillère d'un liquide, qu'il la porte à sa bouche, et qu'il penche le manche vers le sol, le liquide descend dans le réservoir ainsi formé et ne se répand pas sur l'utilisateur.  The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback. According to a first characteristic, it in fact comprises a spoon at the end of the spoon handle on which a domed half-cover is placed on the side of the handle; thus, when the user fills the said spoon with a liquid, brings it to his mouth, and tilts the handle towards the ground, the liquid descends into the reservoir thus formed and does not spread over the 'user.

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation : - la forme du cuilleron peut être ovale ou rond, le demicouvercle suivra alors celle du cuilleron.

Figure img00010001
According to particular embodiments: - the shape of the spoon may be oval or round, the half-cover will then follow that of the spoon.
Figure img00010001

- le concavité du cuilleron peut être de différents tailles permettant ainsi un volume de liquide plus ou moins important. - The concavity of the spoon can be of different sizes, thus allowing a more or less large volume of liquid.

- le cuilleron, muni de son demi-couvercle bombé, placé habituellement dans l'alignement du manche, peut être positionné à différents angles par rapport à l'axe du manche, et plus particulièrement à 90 par rapport à ce dernier.  - The spoon, provided with its domed half-cover, usually placed in alignment with the handle, can be positioned at different angles relative to the axis of the handle, and more particularly at 90 relative to the latter.

- le manche de la cuillère peut être de différentes longueurs, sa largeur et son épaisseur variant suivant sa  - the handle of the spoon can be of different lengths, its width and thickness varying according to its

longueur, pour lui garder sa rigidité.  length, to keep it rigid.

- pour faciliter le nettoyage de l'ensemble, particulièrement à l'intérieur de la cuillère, afin de respecter les règles élémentaires d'hygiène, le demi-couvercle bombé peut comporter une charnière entre la fin du manche et le demi-couvercle bombé ou bien avoir un dispositif d'encliquetage entre lui et le cuilleron qui permettent de soulever ou d'enlever le demicouvercle bombé afin de procéder au nettoyage des intérieurs du cuilleron et du demi-couvercle bombé. - To facilitate cleaning of the assembly, particularly inside the spoon, in order to comply with basic hygiene rules, the domed half-cover may include a hinge between the end of the handle and the domed half-cover, or well have a latching device between it and the spoon which makes it possible to lift or remove the domed half-cover in order to clean the interiors of the spoon and the domed half-cover.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention : La figure 1 représente en coupe a, le dispositif de l'invention.  The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: Figure 1 shows in section a, the device of the invention.

La figure 2 représente en vue de dessus, le dispositif adapté à une cuillère normale. Figure 2 shows in top view, the device suitable for a normal spoon.

En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte le manche (1) relié au cuilleron (2) sur lequel est placé un demi-couvercle bombé (3) ayant une découpe particulière (4) afin de laisser la place à la lèvre supérieure de l'utilisateur.  With reference to these drawings, the device comprises the handle (1) connected to the spoon (2) on which is placed a curved half-cover (3) having a particular cutout (4) in order to leave room for the upper lip of the 'user.

Dans la forme de la réalisation selon la figure 1 le demi-couvercle bombé (3) est soudé sur le cuilleron (2) côté manche (1) de telle façon qu'il n'y ait pas de possibilité de passage de liquide, lequel restera contenu dans le réservoir ainsi constitué.  In the embodiment according to Figure 1 the domed half-cover (3) is welded to the spoon (2) on the handle side (1) so that there is no possibility of liquid passage, which will remain contained in the reservoir thus formed.

Selon une variante non illustrée, afin de permettre le nettoyage des intérieurs du cuilleron (2) et du demi-couvercle bombé (3), il peut être ajouté une petite charnière reliant le demi-couvercle bombé (3) au manche (1) ou un dis-  According to a variant not illustrated, in order to allow the cleaning of the interiors of the spoon (2) and of the curved half-cover (3), a small hinge can be added connecting the curved half-cover (3) to the handle (1) or a dis-

positif permettant l'encliquetage entre le demi-couvercle bombé (3) et le cuilleron (2) afin de pouvoir désolidariser l'un de l'autre pour permettre le nettoyage.  positive allowing the snap-fit between the domed half-cover (3) and the spoon (2) so as to be able to separate from one another to allow cleaning.

Dans les deux cas, le plan de contact doit être parfait afin qu'il n'y ait aucune fuite de liquide possible. In both cases, the contact plane must be perfect so that there is no possible leakage of liquid.

A titre d'exemple non limitatif, la nouvelle cuillère aura des dimensions de l'ordre de 14 à 20 cm pour la longueur et de 3 à 4,5 cm pour la largeur du cuilleron.  By way of nonlimiting example, the new spoon will have dimensions of the order of 14 to 20 cm for the length and 3 to 4.5 cm for the width of the spoon.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à aider les personnes handicapées qui absorbent du liquide par la bouche avec une cuillère. The device according to the invention is particularly intended to help disabled people who absorb liquid by mouth with a spoon.
