Description

食事のときに使う箸に関する About chopsticks to use when eating

箸先が、食べ物を挟み易くするために、溝をいく筋かつけている箸がある。それと同じように、手で持つ部分にも同じような溝がある箸がないか探したが公開された資料にはないようである。 There are chopsticks that have a groove in the chopsticks to make it easier to sandwich food. In the same way, I looked for chopsticks with similar grooves on the hand-held part, but there seems to be no published material.

Problems to be solved by the invention

冬、空気が乾燥した室内では、箸を持つとき、夏等に比べて、やや滑りやすくなる。しかも、体調が十分でないときや、年を取って握力が弱くなったときも箸を持つと、滑りやすい状態がある。 In winter, when the air is dry, it becomes slightly slippery when holding chopsticks than in summer. In addition, even when you are not feeling well or when you are old and your grip is weak, holding chopsticks can make you slippery.

Means for solving the problem

食べ物を挟み易くするために、箸先に、箸の周りに沿って、丸く、溝をいく筋かつけている箸がある。それと同じように、手で持つ部分にも同じような、箸先にある溝よりやや深めの、間隔は１ｃｍ程度の筋を、１０本程つける。箸の筋をつける箇所は、中央あたりから箸の一番上までとする。 To make it easier to pinch the food, there are chopsticks on the tip of the chopsticks that are rounded and grooved around the chopsticks. In the same way, about 10 lines with a spacing of about 1 cm, slightly deeper than the groove at the tip of the chopsticks, are also attached to the hand part. The chopsticks should be placed from the center to the top of the chopsticks.

The invention's effect

箸を持ったとき、指が、溝をつけてない箸に比べ、引っかかりやすいので、握力が弱くても、手が滑りやすい状態が、ましになる。 When you hold chopsticks, your fingers are more likely to get caught than chopsticks without grooves, so you can easily slip your hand even if your grip is weak.

握力が弱くなった手でも持ちやすい、箸の断面が円形の箸 Chopsticks with a circular cross-section that are easy to hold even with a weakened hand 握力が弱くなった手でも持ちやすい、箸の断面が四角い箸 Chopsticks with a square chopstick cross section that are easy to hold even with weakened grip
