Description

本発明は箸置き機能を有する箸自助具に関する。     The present invention relates to a chopstick self-helper having a chopstick rest function.

従来の食事用の箸補助具または箸自助具には、特定の箸若しくは規格の箸に限定された一対の箸を嵌合保持する形状からなり、一対の箸を嵌合する部材又は、箸を保持する部材（以下、箸保持部材）は開脚バネを有した連結部材でつながり、連結部材に設けられた上下２個の箸保持部材同士は箸間隔が適度に広がり常時Ｖ字状に広げる方向に付勢する開脚バネを有しており、箸自助具を使用する際は箸の中間部分に取り付けることで、箸の先端側は閉じた状態又は少し開いた状態になり、箸の後端側は拡開した状態になって、箸自助具を使用するときは取り付けた部分より後端側を掌中に納めて箸先の開き操作をする際に力を入れるだけで容易に箸の乖離可動を広げる方向に付勢する補助機能を施したものがある（例えば、特許文献１参照。）。     A conventional chopstick aid for eating or a chopstick self-help tool has a shape that fits and holds a pair of chopsticks limited to a specific chopstick or standard chopsticks. The holding member (hereinafter referred to as chopstick holding member) is connected by a connecting member having an open leg spring, and the upper and lower two chopstick holding members provided on the connecting member have a moderately wide chopstick spacing and are always expanded in a V shape. When using the chopsticks self-helper, it is attached to the middle part of the chopsticks so that the tip side of the chopsticks is closed or slightly opened, and the rear end of the chopsticks The side is in an expanded state, and when using the chopsticks self-helper, the chopsticks can be easily moved by simply putting force when opening the chopstick tip by placing the rear end side in the palm of the hand. Is provided with an auxiliary function for energizing in the direction of expanding the width (for example, see Patent Document 1). .

また、従来の食事用の箸置きは食事中に箸を置くことしかできず、上面に箸置き面を形成し、底面の台座は切り込み部を形成してあって、箸置き本体は箸止めとして箸を一纏めにすることができ、台座の切り込み部に連なる開口部に横貫挿通する機能を備えていて、食事中に箸を貫通させた状態で、食卓に置いて使用する構成であった（例えば、特許文献２参照。）。     In addition, the conventional chopstick rest for meals can only place chopsticks during the meal, the chopstick rest surface is formed on the top surface, the base on the bottom is formed with a notch, and the chopstick rest body is a chopstick rest that bundles the chopsticks together It has a function to be inserted horizontally through the opening connected to the cut portion of the pedestal, and is used by placing it on the table with chopsticks penetrated during the meal (for example, Patent Document 2).

以下、従来の箸自助具と箸置きについて説明する。これまでの箸自助具および箸置きはそれぞれ個別の物品として存在し、用途が違うため別々に用意しなければならず常備常用されにくい物品であった。 従来の箸自助具においては概ね使用される方は中高生から成人を対象者としており、前記対象者の手に合わせた形状に規格化された箸自助具が主で使用される方が限定された。 また箸置きは箸の使用が必然であり箸に付随するものであって単に机、テーブル上に置いた箸置きは他の用途に使用できるということもなく、箸置きは箸使用を前提としているので箸を使えない方には無用であった。     A conventional chopstick self-help tool and chopstick rest will be described below. Conventional chopsticks self-help tools and chopstick rests exist as separate articles, and have different uses, so they have to be prepared separately and are difficult to use regularly. In the conventional chopsticks self-help tool, those who are mostly used are targeted at junior and senior high school students and adults, and those who mainly use the chopstick self-help tool standardized to the shape of the target person's hand are limited. . In addition, chopstick rests must be used with chopsticks, and are simply attached to chopsticks, and chopstick rests placed on a desk or table can be used for other purposes. It was useless for those who could not use it.

以上に述べた従来の食事用の箸自助具は、特定の規格の箸に限定され、規格外の箸に対応出来ない形状が多く、このことから太い箸又は細い箸や、長い箸又は短い箸などに関わらず様々な箸に対応出来るために箸保持部材に伸縮性が必要とされる。 また一対の箸を嵌合保持する上下２個の箸保持部材同士は開脚バネを有した連結部材が箸間隔を適度に広げ常時Ｖ字状になることから箸と箸の間隔が広くなり、箸の中間部分に取り付けた箸保持部材から箸の後端側の間を掌中に納めるように手指を添わせて箸先の開き操作をするので、箸間隔に合った手の大きさでなければ使用できず小児の小さい手及び手に障害のある人にとっては使い難い構成であり、コンパクトで箸が持ちやすく使いやすい構成の箸自助具を必要としていた。     The conventional food chopsticks self-help tools described above are limited to chopsticks of a specific standard, and many shapes cannot be used for non-standard chopsticks. Therefore, thick chopsticks or thin chopsticks, long chopsticks or short chopsticks In order to be able to handle various chopsticks regardless of the above, the chopstick holding member needs to be stretchable. The two upper and lower chopsticks holding members that fit and hold a pair of chopsticks have a connecting member with an open leg spring that increases the chopstick spacing appropriately and is always V-shaped. Open the chopstick tip with your fingers so that the space between the chopstick holding member attached to the middle of the chopstick and the back end of the chopstick fits in your palm. The chopsticks self-helper has a structure that is difficult to use for small children and handicapped children who cannot use it, and is compact, easy to hold chopsticks and easy to use.

また、従来の食事用の箸置きは、床面に配置する台座の上部に様々な形状に形成され食事中に箸を置くことしかできず、上面に箸置き面を形成しているが箸の転び落ち防止の窪み部分が設けられていないので窪みを設ける必要があった。 また底面の台座は切り込み部を形成してあって、台座の切り込み部に連なる開口部に横貫挿通する箸を一纏めにする機能を備えた箸止めであっても、箸の使用中は床面に置いておくことになり、食事中に使用しない物であるということで箸置き同様の課題を有していた。 上述の箸自助具および箸置きはそれぞれ個別の物品として開発されてきたが、食事する場面においてそれぞれ用途が違うため別々に用意しなければならず常備常用されにくいという課題を有していた。
本発明は従来の構成が有していた問題を解決しようとするものであり、小さい手の人及び手に障害のある人にとっても使い勝手に優れ、食事中にも邪魔にならない箸自助具の機能と箸置きの機能を一体化する構成を実現することを目的とするものである。 In addition, conventional chopstick rests for meals are formed in various shapes on the top of the pedestal placed on the floor, and can only place chopsticks during meals. Since the prevention dent part was not provided, it was necessary to provide the dent. The pedestal on the bottom has a notch, and even if it is a chopstick stopper that has the function of collecting chopsticks that pass horizontally through the opening connected to the notch in the pedestal, It had to be placed and had the same problem as the chopstick rest because it was not used during meals. The above-mentioned chopstick self-help tool and chopstick rest have been developed as separate articles, but they have the problem that they have to be prepared separately because they have different uses in the scene of eating, and are difficult to use regularly.
The present invention is intended to solve the problems of the conventional configuration, and is easy to use for people with small hands and people with handicap, and the function of the chopsticks self-helper that does not get in the way during meals. The purpose of this is to realize a configuration that integrates the functions of the chopstick rest.

本発明は、上記目的を達成するために、箸の操作を補助する箸自助具であって、伸縮性素材で構成され箸を挿入可能な筒体であって、両端に位置する開口部及び両端の開口部から連なる内部空間を有する筒体と、筒体を分割する切込み部と、切り込み部を跨いで筒体に配置され折り曲げ可能な連結部を設けたものである。   In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a chopstick self-help device that assists in the operation of chopsticks, and is a cylindrical body made of a stretchable material into which chopsticks can be inserted. A cylindrical body having an internal space continuous from the opening, a cut portion that divides the cylindrical body, and a connecting portion that can be bent and disposed in the cylindrical body across the cut portion.

また、第２の解決手段は、筒体に、窪みおよび台座を設けたものである。     Moreover, the 2nd solution means provides a hollow and a base in the cylinder.

また、第３の解決手段は、連結部は、切り込み部を跨ぐように配置される芯材であって、折り曲げるとバネ弾性が発生する芯材を設けたものである。     According to a third solving means, the connecting portion is a core material disposed so as to straddle the cut portion, and is provided with a core material that generates spring elasticity when bent.

また、第４の解決手段は、芯材を、筒体の両端の開口部に近接する位置まで配置した構成としたものである。     Moreover, the 4th solution means is set as the structure which has arrange | positioned the core material to the position close | similar to the opening part of the both ends of a cylinder.

また、第５の解決手段は、窪みは、両端の開口部から筒体の中央部に向かい勾配のある傾斜を設けたものである。     In the fifth solving means, the dent is provided with an inclined slope from the opening at both ends toward the center of the cylinder.

また、第６の解決手段は、筒体は、両端の開口から内側に向かって、内部空間の内径が小さくなっている構成としたものである。     According to a sixth solving means, the cylindrical body is configured such that the inner diameter of the internal space decreases from the opening at both ends toward the inside.

上述したように本発明の箸置き兼用箸自助具は、切り込み部から筒体を分割し、分割された筒体を連結する連結部を折り曲げ、分割された筒体の開口部から筒体の内部空間に箸を取り付けることによって、ピンセット状の箸自助具を生成できる。 また、箸の乖離可動の作用点となる連結部の位置を中間部分ではなく箸の後端部に取り付けることにより手指で保持しやすくなり、さらに筒体は伸縮性を有しているため、箸の開閉を容易にすることができる。     As described above, the chopstick rest / chopsticks self-helper according to the present invention divides the cylindrical body from the cut portion, bends the connecting portion that connects the divided cylindrical bodies, and opens the internal space of the cylindrical body from the openings of the divided cylindrical bodies. By attaching chopsticks to the tweezers, you can create tweezers-like self-help tools. In addition, by attaching the position of the connecting part, which is the movability point of the chopsticks, to the rear end of the chopsticks instead of the middle part, it becomes easier to hold with fingers, and the cylinder has elasticity, so the chopsticks Can be easily opened and closed.

また、請求項２に記載の筒体には窪みが設けられているので、窪みに箸を置くことができる。また、台座が設けられているので、筒体を安定して配置できる。従って、箸自助具を箸置きとしても機能させることができるため、箸自助具に合わせて箸置きを用意する必要がない。 さらに、筒体である箸保持部材の取り付け部分を箸の後端部から箸の中間部分又は、先端側に自助具を引き抜くように移動させることで箸が筒体を挿通した状態の箸置きとすることが可能な構成となる。     Moreover, since the hollow of Claim 2 is provided with the hollow, chopsticks can be put in the hollow. Moreover, since the pedestal is provided, the cylinder can be stably arranged. Accordingly, since the chopstick self-help tool can function as a chopstick rest, it is not necessary to prepare a chopstick rest according to the chopstick self-help tool. Furthermore, by moving the attachment part of the cylindrical chopstick holding member from the rear end part of the chopsticks to the middle part of the chopsticks or by pulling the self-helper to the front end side, the chopstick holder is inserted into the chopsticks. It becomes a possible configuration.

また、請求項３に記載の芯材により、箸自助具を開閉する際の補助力を得ることができるので、箸の操作がより容易になる。     Moreover, since the core material according to claim 3 can provide an assisting force when opening and closing the chopstick self-helper, the operation of the chopsticks becomes easier.

また、請求項４に記載の芯材を筒体の端部まで配置しているので箸の開閉のための、より大きい補助力を得ることができるので、より効率的に箸の操作を補助できる。     Further, since the core material according to claim 4 is arranged up to the end of the cylinder, it is possible to obtain a larger assisting force for opening and closing the chopsticks, so that the operation of the chopsticks can be assisted more efficiently. .

また、請求項５に記載の窪みは中央部に向かって傾斜しているので箸自助具を、箸が転び落ちない箸置きとしても機能させることができる。     Further, since the recess according to claim 5 is inclined toward the center portion, the chopsticks self-helper can function as a chopstick rest where the chopsticks do not fall down.

また、請求項６に記載の両端の開口から内側に向かって、内部空間の内径が小さくなっているので、両端開口部の入り口が広く、太い箸を開口部に近い位置で固定できるとともに、細い箸を開口部から遠い位置で固定できる。つまり、太さの異なる種々の箸に対応できる箸自助具を実現することができる。     In addition, since the inner diameter of the internal space decreases from the opening at both ends to the inside, the entrance to the opening at both ends is wide, and a thick chopstick can be fixed at a position close to the opening, and thin. The chopsticks can be fixed at a position far from the opening. That is, it is possible to realize a chopstick self-help tool that can handle various chopsticks of different thicknesses.
