Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to the field of an eating aid device.
  • Eating food from a food holding plate which has a relatively flat edge portion is a challenging task for a user like toddlers, old age humans and physically challenged humans.
  • the food while picking up the food with a spoon from the food holding plate, the food, instead of coming upon the spoon, falls from the flat edge portion of the food holding plate and litter around the area surrounding the food holding plate. This causes waste of food and also frustrates the user.
  • the user may use two spoons of which one spoon provides aid to bring the food onto the other spoon.
  • this method cannot be used by humans having one hand or toddlers who are still developing their motor skills.
  • An object of the present disclosure is to ameliorate one or more problems of the prior art or to at least provide a useful alternative.
  • An object of the present disclosure is to provide an eating aid device that enables to trap of food disposed on a food holding plate onto a spoon.
  • Yet another object of the present disclosure is to provide an eating aid device that relatively reduces the food from falling off the food holding plate and hence relatively reduces littering of the food in the area surrounding the food holding plate.
  • the present disclosure discloses an eating aid device.
  • the eating aid device is detachably/removably connected to a food holding plate.
  • the eating aid device comprises a capped concave central portion and a pair of clamping arms.
  • the pair of clamping arms is disposed on either side of the capped concave central portion.
  • the clamping arms are clamped to the food holding plate and thereby clamp the capped concave central portion to the food holding plate such that cap of the capped concave central portion assists a user in bringing food disposed in the food holding plate onto a spoon.
  • the clamping arms are un-clamped from the food holding plate and thereby un-clamp the concave central portion from the food holding plate.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a perspective view of an eating aid device connected to a food holding plate defining an operative configuration
  • Figure 2 illustrates a perspective view of the eating aid device of Figure 1 in an inoperative configuration
  • Figure 3 illustrates a left perspective view of an eating aid device of Figure 1
  • Figure 4 illustrates a right perspective view of the eating aid device of Figure 1
  • Figure 5 illustrates a front view of the eating aid device of Figure 1
  • Figure 6 illustrates a left side view of the eating aid device of Figure 1.
  • the present disclosure discloses an eating aid device.
  • the eating aid device enables to trap of food disposed on a food holding plate onto a spoon.
  • the eating aid device relatively reduces the food from falling off the food holding plate and hence relatively reduces littering of the food in the area surrounding the food holding plate.
  • FIG 1 to Figure 6 illustrates the eating aid device 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
  • the eating aid device 100 is detachably/removably connected to a food holding plate 10.
  • the food holding plate 10 has relatively flat edge portion 10a.
  • the food holding plate 10 may either be circular, square, triangular or like shapes.
  • the eating aid device 100 comprises a capped concave central portion 20 and at least a pair of clamping arms 30a and 30b.
  • the clamping arm 30a is pivotally connected to a left side portion 20a of the concave central portion 20 and the clamping arm 30b is pivotally connected to a right side portion 20b of the capped concave central portion 20.
  • the clamping arm 30a is connected to a left side portion 20a by a hinge connection 35a and the clamping arm 30b is pivotally connected to a right side portion 20b by a hinge connection 35b.
  • the clamping arms 30a and 30b are foldable.
  • An unfolded configuration of the clamping arms 30a and 30b facilitate clamping of the clamping arms 30a and 30b to the food holding plate 10.
  • the clamping arms 30a and 30b are configured with cavities 30ai and 30bi respectively.
  • the cavities 30ai and 30bi receive the food holding plate 10.
  • the clamping of the clamping arms 30a and 30b facilitates clamping of the capped concave central portion 20 to the food holding plate 10 such that cap 20c of the concave central portion 20 is disposed above the food holding plate 10 and a lower portion 20d is disposed below the food holding plate 10.
  • the cap 20c assists a user in bringing food (not illustrated in Figures) disposed in the food holding plate 10 onto a spoon 40a or 40b and hence provides eating aid.
  • the cap 20c assist a user in bringing food (not illustrated in Figures) disposed in the food holding plate 10 onto a spoon 40a or 40b, the falling of the food and littering around the food holding plate 10 is relatively reduced.
  • the capped concave central portion 20 has a forked member 20e extending operatively inwardly from an inner wall 20f of the capped concave central portion 20.
  • the forked member 20e is seated on the rim 10b of the food holding plate 10.
  • the at least a portion of the capped concave central portion 20 is transparent so that the user can view the food disposed within the cap 20c.
  • the clamping arms 30a and 30b are undamped from the food holding plate 10.
  • the un-clamping of the clamping arms 30a and 30b un-clamps the concave central portion 20 from the food holding plate 10, thus defining in-operative configuration of the eating aid device 100.
  • the eating aid device 100 may then be cleaned and the clamping arms 30a and 30b may be folded which facilitates storage of the eating aid device 100 in relatively less space. Also, as the eating aid device 100 is detachable/removable from the food holding plate 10, the food holding plate 10 may be easily and hygenically cleaned.
  • the eating aid device 100 has at least one provision for securing the spoon 40a or 40b.
  • the provision may be receptacles 50a and 50b configured in the clamping arms 30a and 30b respectively.
  • the two receptacles 50a and 50b are provided so the user may either use left hand or a right hand to hold the spoon 40a or 40b disposed in the respective receptacles 50a and 50b.
  • the present disclosure is not limited of having the two receptacles 50a and 50b and any number of receptacles may be configured.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'aide à l'alimentation. Le dispositif d'aide à l'alimentation est raccordé de manière détachable/de manière amovible à une assiette pour aliments. Le dispositif d'aide à l'alimentation comprend une partie centrale concave à cavité et une paire de bras de fixation. La paire de bras de fixation est disposée sur chaque côté de la partie centrale concave à cavité. Dans une configuration active, les bras de fixation sont fixés à l'assiette pour aliments et fixent ainsi la partie centrale concave à cavité à l'assiette pour aliments de telle sorte que la cavité de la partie centrale concave à cavité aide un utilisateur à mettre les aliments placés dans l'assiette pour aliments sur une cuillère. Dans une configuration inactive, les bras de fixation sont détachés de l'assiette pour aliments et détachent ainsi la partie centrale concave à cavité de l'assiette pour aliments.
