摘要： The invention relates to an eating utensil which combines the capabilities of a fork, characterized by function for spearing the food and of a knife characterized by function for cutting the food and can be used by the handicapped and people with decreased functional ability of one of their upper limbs. The eating utensil consists of a handle (1) and a head (5) with formed static spearing tines (9) and mounted rotating cutting tines (8′) and (8″). The handle (1) has a cavity in which a semi-automatic reciprocal spring mechanism (2) is inbuilt. In outer circumferential surface of the handle (1) are formed slots (1′) and sliders with ergonomic shape are placed in them for right (3′) or for left (3″) handed use. When the utensil is positioned laterally for cutting up the food the place of the slider (3′), (3″) coincides with the abutment contact surface of the index finger of the user over the handle (1). The slider (3), (3″) is connected to the contact surface of the mechanism (2) and projects the pressure force from the user's index finger as translational motion into the mechanism (2). The rotating part of the mechanism (2) inside the handle (1) is connected to a transmission (4), inbuilt into the handle (1) and head (5) of the utensil. The transmission (4) consists of a monolith flexible shaft, bent in the middle making a turn and twisted at 90 degree relative to the bending plane, thus forming a loop (4′) inside handle's neck. Generated rotational movement at 180 degree from the mechanism (2) is projected over contact surface of the loop (4′) and transmitted to the two active ends of the transmission (4), placed in holes (6′) and (6″) of the head (5). The active ends of the transmission (4) are connected with bearing shafts (7′) and (7″) of rotating cutting tines (8′) and (8″) mounted to the frontal side of the head (1) in holes (6′) and (6″). The inner longitudinal sides of the rotating cutting tines (8′) and (8″) are shaped as blades for cutting and can rotate bi-directionally by 180 degree.

摘要： The invention provides an eating assist device which can be used by persons who have lost all or substantially all use of their hands for gripping or grasping items. Once a piece of food has been placed in the device, the person needing such assistance can eat substantially all the food without further assistance. The device generally comprises a support stand, a food holder mounted on the support stand, and a food advancing mechanism which the eater can activate, manipulate without gripping or grasping anything, for advancing the food frontwardly in the food holder. The advancing mechanism is illustrated as a reel which can be activated to advance a sheet material which is threaded into the food holder in such a way as to advance the food in the food holder as a cord or strap is accumulated onto the reel.

摘要： A feeder device for feeding a user may include a supporting arm, a food tube to cooperate with the support arm and to hold food for the user, a rotating bearing to rotate the supply arm and a slider device to extrude the food out of the food tube so that the user can be fed without holding the food. The food tube may be flexible, and the feeder device may include a motor to rotate the rotating bearing. The motor may move the slider device along the supporting arm, and the motor may move between a first position and a second position. The motor may pivot between the first position and the second position, and the feeder device may include a control arm to control the rotation of the rotating bearing. The control arm may include a pin to position the rotating bearing, and the motor may be deactivated when the pin engages the rotating bearing. The slider device may include a movable nut member, and the motor may rotate a threaded shaft to move the slider device. The threaded shaft may cooperate with the movable nut member to move the slider device, and the movable nut device may be operable between a first position and a second position.

摘要： An eating utensil with a spoon shell fastened to a handle enables handicapped people, who have, e.g., only one usable hand, to reduce in size pieces of food, e.g., meat, by cutting into bite-sized pieces. To achieve this, the spoon shell (1, 31) and the handle (6) are of a two-part design. The spoon shell (1) has a first shell part (2) with a first handle shaft (4) and a second shell part (3) with a second handle shaft (5). The respective shell parts (2, 3) and handle shafts (4, 5), which are rigidly connected to one another, are connected to one another by a scissor hinge (7) and can be moved against one another in a scissor-like manner. The shell parts (2, 3) have cutting edges (8, 9) cooperating in a scissor-like manner.
