Abstract

The present invention relates to a meal tool for improving eating habits, wherein a neck portion between a head portion of a meal tool such as a spoon, a fork, and a chopstick is connected with a resilient material so that the head portion is bent So as to induce the user to have a habit of eating food slowly and slowly. Depending on the material of the meal tool and the connection part, it can be fixedly or detachably connected in the form of one or several lines, and the connection part can be made of various materials harmless to human body such as spring, plastic, silicone and rubber. Before you feel fullness, do not eat too much food quickly, and slowly and slowly eat it, so that you can help to form the right eating habits, digestion function and weight control is effective.

Description

{Eating tools for improving eating habits}

The present invention relates to a meal tool such as a spoon, a fork, and a chopstick for improving eating habits, wherein a head portion of a meal tool such as a spoon, a fork, and a chopstick is connected to a neck portion between a handle and a spring, If you put a lot of food in the part or pick it up or pick it up, the head will bend or vibrate so that you can shed or drop the food, which makes it difficult to eat or eat quickly so that you can take or take appropriate amount of food. So as to have a eating habit of eating slowly and slowly, thereby contributing to digestive function and weight control.

Generally speaking, spoons, forks, and chopsticks, which are meal tools, are composed of a head portion for holding food, a head portion for holding food, a handle portion for holding by hand, and a neck portion for connecting head and handle, It is used to eat various foods such as liquid. 1 shows an example of a meal tool according to the prior art, in which the neck 10 between the head 10 of the spoon, the fork and the chopsticks, and the neck 30 between the knob 30 are firmly connected, so that food can be eaten quickly.

It usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes before you start to eat and feel full. People who eat fast will eat more until they feel full, which can lead to overweight or obesity, or to health problems such as dyspepsia and gastric reflux. As shown in Fig. 1, a general spoon, a fork, a chopstick, and other eating utensils have a structure in which a large amount of food is contained or taken at once and is easily eaten quickly. Even if the head 10, the neck 20 and the handle 30 are integrally formed or the handle portion is connected by another shape or material, it can be eaten very quickly. There is no device to induce slower eating.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention is applied to a case where the head of the eating tool is vibrated when the food is put in a lot of food tools, picked up or picked up, or bent so that the food is dropped or spilled as in (c) 3 (a), Fig. 3 (b), and neck portion 50 of the chopsticks are connected by a resilient material such as a compression spring.

In the present invention, a neck portion, which is a connecting portion between a head and a handle of a meal tool such as a spoon, a fork, and a chopstick, is connected by a springy material such as a spring, So that the amount of the food can be slowed down. In addition, when the spoon or fork of the present invention is continuously used, the eating habit is improved, and the health problem such as weight control and indigestion can be improved.

2 is a view showing a flexible neck portion of a spoon according to the present invention
Fig. 3 is a view showing a flexible neck portion of a fork and a chopstick according to the present invention

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional eating tool such as a spoon, a fork, and a chopstick is composed of a head 10, a neck 20, and a handle 30. Silver, stainless steel, wood, plastic, and various materials can be made of various sizes of dining tools. The present invention relates to connecting a neck portion of a meal tool made with a conventional technique to a spoon such as a spoon of Fig. 3 (a), a fork of Fig. 3 (b), and a compression spring having a resilient material such as chopsticks. The position and length of the connecting part are shifted toward the head as shown in Fig. 2 (a) or toward the handle as shown in Fig. 2 (b) depending on the degree of elasticity and the size and food amount of the head of the eating tool. Assuming that the amount of food that can be picked up, picked up, or picked up depends on the size of the head portion of the eating tool, assuming that the weight applied to the handle is constant, the head is heavy to achieve an equilibrium between the weight of the food weight and the weight applied to the handle The center of gravity of the face is located close to the head. Therefore, the beginning of the neck of the elastic material is located near the head as shown in Fig. 2 (a). If the head is light, the center of gravity is located towards the handle. Therefore, the beginning of the elastic material neck is located on the handle as shown in Figure 2 (b). As shown in Fig. 2 (c), the neck portion of the elastic material is curled or vibrated to induce the food to be eaten slowly. Depending on the viscosity of the food, the degree of bending or vibration of the neck connection part can be adjusted by connecting one spring or several springs depending on the elastic modulus or restoring force of the connecting material. The connection method can be appropriately connected by soldering, inserting, screw connection, ring attachment or the like depending on various materials of the meal tool. The connection type can be fixedly connected or detachable. The connecting material can be used only if it is resilient to health-friendly springs, compression springs, coil springs, plastic, silicone, rubber, etc.
