Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a bowl that is easy to use, in particular to a bowl with a handle. Background Art

[0002] A bowl is used for patients with motor paralysis caused by diseases such as the sequelae of cerebral infarction, specifically for patients with finger motor paralysis. This bowl generally includes a bowl body and a handle arranged on the outer surface of the bowl body. The user can insert his fingers between the bowl body and the handle, and place the palm of his hand on the outer surface of the bowl body to achieve a stable grip.

[0003] Conventional bowls or bowl bodies have a circular rim. This design allows the user's mouth to contact the rim at any angle to consume food such as rice or soup. This allows users with motor paralysis to still hold the bowl and consume the rice, soup, or other food. However, when the user holds the bowl in this manner, the angle at which the user's mouth contacts the rim is relatively fixed to a certain extent, making it inconvenient for the user to eat. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a bowl with a handle.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] 1. A bowl with a handle, comprising a bowl body and a handle arranged on the outer surface of the bowl body, a straight line passing through the horizontal center of the handle and extending in the extension direction of the handle is called a first straight line, two intersection points of the bowl mouth on the bowl body and the first straight line are called a first point and a second point respectively, a midpoint of a line connecting the first point and the second point is called a third point, and a straight line passing through the third point and perpendicular to the first straight line is called a second straight line. In this way, there will be a special point on the bowl mouth, which is located on the other side of the handle relative to the second straight line, and is within the angle area between the second straight line centered on the third point and the first straight line, and is the farthest away from the third point.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the special point is located at a position with the third point as the vertex and rotated from the second straight line to the first straight line at an angle of 10 to 40 degrees.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the distance from the third point to the special point is 105% to 145% of the distance between the third point and the second point.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bowl mouth is symmetrical with respect to the first straight line.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the side where the handle is provided is taken as the first point, and the height of the bowl mouth at the second point is lower than the height at the first point.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the handle includes a curved portion and an extending portion, the curved portion is convexly curved upward in a direction away from the outer surface of the bowl body; the extending portion extends continuously downward from the curved portion, and extends to the lower end portion of the bowl body when viewed longitudinally, and the distance between the inner surface of the extension portion and the outer surface of the bowl body gradually decreases downward.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the bowl cavity of the bowl body is circular.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the center of the bottom of the bowl cavity coincides with the third point.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bowl body includes a bowl foot, and the center of the bowl foot coincides with the center of the bottom of the bowl cavity.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] The present invention provides a special point on the rim of the bowl. Since the special point is located on the other side of the handle relative to the second straight line and is within the angle region between the second straight line centered on the third point and the first straight line, it is farthest from the third point. Therefore, the curvature near the special point is large, and the area near the special point plays a role similar to that of a pot spout. In addition, when the user inserts his fingers between the bowl body and the handle and grasps the outer surface of the bowl body with his palm, the position of the special point will be close to the user's mouth. Therefore, even for users suffering from motor paralysis, after using tableware such as a spoon to concentrate food such as rice and soup on the above-mentioned special point, or while concentrating the food on the above-mentioned special point, if the diner's mouth touches the position of the above-mentioned special point, it will be easy to eat the food in the bowl, making it more convenient for the diner to use.

[0027] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below.

[0028] See also Figure 1-7 The bowl with handle 2 provided by the present invention includes a bowl body 4 and a handle 6 arranged on the outer surface of the bowl body.

[0029] The bowl body 4 consists of a rim 8, a body 10, a waist 12, and legs 14 supporting the waist 12. The rim 8 is a non-circular closed curve, forming a predetermined shape described below. The body 10 is a cylindrical structure that descends downward from the rim 8. The waist 12 descends downward from the lower end of the body 10, forming a closed structure at the bottom. The legs 14 support the waist 12. The inner sides of the body 10 and waist 12 form a bowl cavity 16.

[0030] The handle 6 may specifically be in the shape of a thin plate, one end of which is connected to the upper end of a predetermined position on the outer surface of the bowl body 10 in the circumferential direction and has a predetermined width. Furthermore, the handle 6 includes a curved portion 18 and an extended portion 20. The curved portion 18 takes the aforementioned one end as a starting point and curves upward in a direction away from the outer surface of the bowl body 4; the extended portion 20 extends downward from the end point of the curved portion 18 along the outer surface of the bowl body 4. The other end of the handle 6, i.e., the lower end of the extended portion 20, is an open end, which is located at the lower end of the bowl body 4 when viewed longitudinally. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, the distance D between the inner surface of the extension portion 20 and the outer surface of the bowl body 4 gradually decreases downward.

[0031] See also Figure 3 The straight line passing through the horizontal center of the handle 6 and extending in the extension direction of the handle 6 is called the first straight line L1 (double-dash line), and the two intersection points of the bowl mouth 8 of the bowl body 4 and the first straight line L1 are called the first point P1 and the second point P2 respectively (the side with the handle is installed is called the first point P1, and the other side is called the second point P2). The midpoint of the line connecting the first point P1 and the second point P2 is called the third point P3, and the straight line passing through the third point P3 and perpendicular to the first straight line L1 is called the second straight line L2 (double-dash line). There is a special point on the bowl mouth 8. This special point is opposite to the handle 6 and is located on the other side of the second straight line L2, and is in the angle area between the second straight line L2 centered on the third point P3 and the first straight line L1, and is the farthest away from the third point P3. This is the main innovation of the present invention.

[0032] exist Figure 3 In the top view, the rim 8 is symmetrical with respect to the first straight line L1, so that there are two special points PX1 and PX2 on the rim 8. The above special points are preferably located at a position with the third point P3 as the vertex, and rotated from the second straight line L2 to the first straight line L1 at an angle of 10 to 40 degrees. The special points PX1 and PX2 are respectively located at a position with the third point P3 as the vertex, and rotated from the second straight line L2 to the first straight line L1 at an angle of 26 degrees. The distance from the third point P3 to the above special points is preferably 105% to 145% of the distance between the third point P3 and the second point P2. In the illustrated embodiment, the former distance is set to 125% of the latter distance. And, with reference to Figure 3 and Figure 2 It can be clearly seen that the height of the bowl mouth 8 at the second point P2 is lower than the height at the first point P1.

[0033] The outer and inner surfaces of the bowl body 10 and the bowl waist 12 are all downwardly inclined and inwardly inclined. The inner and outer surfaces of the bowl body 10 and the inner surface of the bowl waist 12 are flat, but the outer surface of the bowl waist 12 is continuously provided with a plurality of annular ridges 22 extending in the circumferential direction at regular longitudinal intervals.

[0034] The bottom 24 of the bowl cavity 16 is circular in the top view. The center of the bottom 24 of the bowl cavity 16 in the top view coincides with the third point P3. Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 It can be seen that the bowl foot 14 is cylindrical, and in the top view and the bottom view, the center of the bowl foot 14 coincides with the center of the bottom 24 of the wrist cavity 16.

[0035] pass Figure 8 The following describes how to use bowl 2. When a user uses bowl 2 and a spoon (not shown) to eat food such as rice or soup, the user inserts the fingers of one hand between bowl body 4 and handle 6, grasping the outer surface of bowl body 4 with the palm of the hand, while simultaneously grasping the spoon with the fingers of the other hand. At this point, handle 6 includes a curved portion 18 and an extended portion 20. Curved portion 18 curves upward and away from the outer surface of bowl body 4. Extended portion 20 extends continuously downward from curved portion 18 to the lower end of bowl body 4, allowing the user's fingers, particularly the side of the index finger, to be stably supported on the inner side of curved portion 18. Furthermore, because the distance between the inner surface of extended portion 20 and the outer surface of bowl body 4 gradually decreases downward, the user's palm is prevented from separating from the outer surface of bowl body 4. This allows the user to hold bowl 2 stably. The user can then use the spoon to gather the food in the bowl 4, or place their mouth on the rim of the bowl while gathering the food, and then enjoy the food. Arrow R1 indicates the movement of the spoon, i.e., the path of the spoon entering the wrist cavity 16, and arrow R2 indicates the path of the spoon exiting the wrist cavity 16.

[0036] At this point, because the rim 8 of the bowl body 4 has special points PX1 and PX2, these special points are located on the other side of the second straight line L2, opposite the handle 6, and within the angle between the second straight line L2 centered on the third point P3 and the first straight line L1, with the greatest distance from the third point P3. Therefore, the curvature near these special points PX1 and PX2 is greater, and the area around these special points PX1 and PX2 acts like a spout. Furthermore, due to the presence of these special points PX1 and PX2, when a user inserts their fingers between the bowl body 4 and the handle 6 and grasps the outer surface of the bowl body 4, these points are close to the user's mouth. Therefore, even if the user suffers from motor paralysis, they can easily eat the food in the bowl by using a spoon or other device to direct food such as rice or soup toward these special points PX1 or PX2, or by bringing their mouth into contact with these points while directing food.

[0037] Furthermore, because the bowl rim 8 is symmetrical with respect to the first straight line L1 and has two distinct points, PX1 and PX2, no matter which hand the user uses to hold the bowl 2, there will be either distinct point PX1 or PX2 near the rim. At this point, using the fingers of the other hand to grasp the spoon, the tip of the spoon enters the wrist cavity 16 near distinct point PX1 on the bowl rim, passes through the center of wrist cavity 16, and then moves toward distinct point PX2 on the bowl rim 8. Alternatively, the tip of the spoon enters the wrist cavity 16 from distinct point PX2 on the bowl rim, passes through the center of wrist cavity 16, and then moves toward distinct point PX1 on the bowl rim 8. This makes using the spoon smoother.

[0038] Furthermore, since the height of the bowl mouth 8 at the second point P2 is lower than that at the first point P1, when washing the bowl 2, one can hold the handle 6 with one hand so that the second point P2 side of the bowl mouth 8 faces downward, and use the other hand to clean out the food in the bowl, thereby making it easy to discard the food in the bowl 2.

[0039] Furthermore, because the center of the bottom 24 of the wrist cavity 16 coincides with the third point P3, even if the shape of the bowl mouth 8 is not circular, the bowl body 4 will have good weight balance and is very convenient to use. In addition, because the center of the bowl foot 14 coincides with the center of the bottom 24 of the wrist cavity 16, the bowl body 4 also has good stability.
