Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pen grip training technology, and in particular to a toy that guides the hand shape for holding a pen. Background Technology
[0002] Pen grip posture has become a problem for children today. Incorrect pen grip posture can easily lead to a series of problems such as nearsightedness, strabismus, skeletal deformities, and wrist pain. Nowadays, children first hold a pen not when they pick it up to learn to write, but when they are still in the early childhood stage of drawing and doodling. At this time, children have no concept of pen grip posture, and parents do not deliberately guide them. As long as the child can pick up a pen and scribble randomly, it is considered as guidance on pen grip.
[0003] In fact, children aged 3 to 5 years old in early childhood all use a grasping grip when holding a pen, mostly with all five fingers grasping at the same time. There are also those who are guided or taught to hold the pen with three fingers, but the postures are varied and different, as long as they can grasp the pen.
[0004] Because of the lack of proper guidance, at this age, children are simply told to hold the pen as long as they want. This can lead to bad habits, especially after holding the pen for a long time while drawing or doodling. This can have a profound impact on children, causing them to develop incorrect pen-holding habits. When children start reading and writing, these incorrect pen-holding habits become the root cause of their incorrect pen-holding posture. This is why most children have incorrect postures when they actually start writing and need to have their pen-holding posture corrected.
[0005] Currently, there are no toys or other teaching aids to guide young children in holding a pen correctly, allowing their pen-holding posture to develop freely. Therefore, most children who are guided to hold a pen in early childhood end up with incorrect pen-holding postures because they did not receive proper guidance in the early stages.
[0006] Based on this, this utility model designs a toy that guides the hand shape when holding a pen, in order to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a toy that guides children's pen-holding posture. Through this toy-like device, children who are not yet able to hold a pen can be trained to develop the correct pen-holding gesture through long-term learning. When children begin to scribble with a pen, they will naturally develop a hollow hand grip. This invention corrects and guides children's pen-holding posture in the initial stage, playing a guiding and assisting role in learning the correct pen-holding posture.
[0008] This invention is achieved as follows: A toy that guides the hand shape for holding a pen, comprising:
[0009] Ball grip, limit post, and positioning ring;
[0010] The holding ball has an egg-shaped structure;
[0011] The limiting post is a cylindrical structure and is vertically installed on the top of the holding ball. A limiting cover is also provided on the top of the limiting post. The limiting cover is a circular sheet structure, and the top of the limiting post is within the coverage area of the limiting cover.
[0012] The positioning ring is a complete circular ring, and the positioning ring is fixed to the side wall of the holding ball;
[0013] The axis of the positioning ring and the axis of the limiting post are perpendicular to each other in the same plane, and the axis of the limiting post is in the same vertical plane as the vertical section of the positioning ring and the holding ball.
[0014] The lower end of the gripping ball is tilted to one side, and the tilting direction of the lower end of the gripping ball is opposite to the direction of the limiting post.
[0015] Furthermore, the diameter of the limiting post is smaller than the diameter of the limiting cover, and the difference is no more than 2mm; the height h of the limiting post is between 1 and 1.5cm.
[0016] The side wall of the limiting cover is provided with a rounded chamfer.
[0017] Furthermore, the side of the positioning ring is also provided with a rounded chamfer; the height difference d between the top of the positioning ring and the bottom of the limiting post does not exceed 1cm.
[0018] Furthermore, the angle α between the axis of the limiting post and the axis of the holding ball is between 130° and 140°.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model uses a holding ball to match the child's habit of grasping toys, and guides the child to form a hollow fist grip when holding objects. In addition, the holding ball of this device is tilted and its shape matches the correct pen grip gesture, so that the child forms a hollow circle habit when holding objects.
[0020] 2. The limiting post of this device is used to calibrate the child's thumb and index finger grip, so that the child's index finger and thumb form a gripping posture for holding the pen, rather than pinching or multiple fingers pinching the pen at the same time, effectively guiding and assisting the child's index finger and thumb to form the correct coordination.
[0021] 3. This device also includes a positioning ring. The position and angle of the positioning ring can secure the child's middle finger, making the device less likely to fall off. It also limits the position of the middle finger and helps it coordinate with the index finger and thumb to form a proper grip. This effectively guides the three fingers that hold the pen correctly, providing proper guidance and assistance for children's early pen-holding skills. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a toy for guiding the hand shape when holding a pen, comprising:
[0030] 1. Ball grip, 2. Limiting post, and 3. Positioning ring;
[0031] The holding ball 1 has an egg-shaped structure;
[0032] The limiting post 2 is a cylindrical structure and is vertically installed on the top of the holding ball 1. The limiting post 2 is also provided with a limiting cover 21 on the top of the limiting post 2. The limiting cover 21 is a circular sheet structure and the top of the limiting post 2 is within the coverage area of the limiting cover 21.
[0033] The positioning ring 3 is a complete circular ring, and the positioning ring 3 is fixed to the side wall of the holding ball 1;
[0034] The axis of the positioning ring 3 and the axis of the limiting post 2 are perpendicular to each other in the same plane, and the axis of the limiting post 2 is in the same vertical plane as the vertical section of the positioning ring 3 and the holding ball 1.
[0035] The lower end of the holding ball 1 is tilted to one side, and the tilting direction of the lower end of the holding ball 1 is opposite to the direction of the limiting post 2. This toy-like device can be used to train children who are not yet able to hold a pen. It provides a tool for children to hold and play with, so that children can form the correct pen-holding gesture habit through long-term holding and learning. When children start to hold a pen and scribble, they will naturally form a hollow hand holding posture. In the initial stage, correcting and guiding children to hold the pen correctly plays a guiding and auxiliary role in learning the correct pen-holding posture.
[0036] The diameter of the limiting post 2 is smaller than the diameter of the limiting cover 21, and the difference is no more than 2mm; the height h of the limiting post 2 is between 1 and 1.5cm.
[0037] The side wall of the limiting cover 21 is provided with rounded chamfers, which makes it more comfortable to hold and is suitable for the thickness of children's fingers;
[0038] The side of the positioning ring 3 is also provided with a rounded chamfer; the height difference d between the top of the positioning ring 3 and the bottom of the limiting post 2 does not exceed 1cm, making it more comfortable to hold and able to stably hold the child's fingers, forcing them to form the habit of holding a hollow fist, and guiding the child to hold the pen correctly.
[0039] The angle α between the axis of the limiting post 2 and the axis of the holding ball 1 is between 130° and 140°, which conforms to the posture of a person holding a pen. With this angle, the final angle of holding the pen will also be tilted at the correct angle, forming a correct posture guide.
[0040] In one specific embodiment of this utility model:
[0041] This utility model provides a toy that guides the hand shape for holding a pen. The technical problems encountered by this utility model are as follows: 1. Nowadays, children have better conditions, and many parents provide early education for their children, that is, they start learning to draw or buy some electronic writing tablets for children to doodle and practice writing in early childhood. As a result, children do not have proper guidance and scribble randomly without the correct pen-holding posture. When children need to learn to write properly, their pen-holding posture has already formed an incorrect habit. In contrast, children in the past did not have preschool writing training and only started learning to write after starting school. At this time, the teacher's correct guidance enabled them to learn to hold the pen correctly. 2. Young children have little finger strength and find it difficult to hold the pen steadily. As a result, when young children learn to hold the pen, they will increase the force, resulting in a habit of holding the pen very forcefully. Holding the pen too forcefully will affect the stiffness of the writing and make the strokes difficult to control. 3. Incorrect pen-holding posture will lead to stiff writing, ugly handwriting, and wrist pain when writing. There is also insufficient space for horizontal and vertical strokes.
[0042] The technical problem solved by this invention is that children learn the correct pen-holding posture before they learn to hold a pen, and are guided correctly in the pen-holding posture. This allows children to practice holding a pen in a fun way even before they start drawing, and the shape of the pen is the same as the pen-holding posture, effectively helping children form the correct pen-holding posture habit.
[0043] The achieved technical effects are as follows: 1. This utility model uses a holding ball 1 to match the child's habit of grasping toys, and guides the child to form a hollow fist and a round grip when holding objects. In addition, the holding ball 1 of this device is tilted and its shape is consistent with the correct pen grip, so that the child's hand forms a hollow circle habit when holding objects.
[0044] 2. The limiting post 2 of this device is used to calibrate the child's thumb and index finger grip, so that the child's index finger and thumb form a pinching posture for holding the pen, rather than pinching the pen or pinching the pen with multiple fingers at the same time. Most children hold a pen for the first time with all four fingers on the same side and opposite the palm, like holding a stick-like object. This device can avoid this situation. It is still a grip and conforms to the gripping habit of young children with four fingers, but it can form a pinching posture for the index finger and thumb, effectively guiding and assisting the child to form the correct coordination between the index finger and thumb.
[0045] 3. This device also includes a positioning ring 3. The position and angle of the positioning ring 3 can secure the child's middle finger, making the device less likely to fall off. It also limits the position of the middle finger and helps the middle finger, index finger, and thumb to form a gripping position, effectively guiding the three fingers that hold the pen to form a correct gripping relationship, providing correct guidance and assistance for children's early pen holding.
[0046] The technical solution in this embodiment of the utility model is to solve the above problems, and the overall idea is as follows:
[0047] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0048] In the manufacture of this utility model, the ball 1, the limiting post 2, and the positioning ring 3 are used;
[0049] The holding ball 1 has an egg-shaped structure;
[0050] The limiting post 2 is a cylindrical structure, vertically set on the top of the holding ball 1. The limiting post 2 is also set on the top of the limiting post 2. The limiting cover 21 is a circular sheet structure. The top of the limiting post 2 is within the coverage area of the limiting cover 21. The diameter of the limiting post 2 is smaller than the diameter of the limiting cover 21, and the difference is no more than 2mm. This makes the edge of the limiting cover 21 protrude outward on the outer wall of the limiting post 2, forming a small cover shape. It will not press the finger, effectively avoiding affecting the child's finger growth. Instead of pressing down on the finger, it encourages the child to place their finger under the limiting cover 21. Otherwise, there will be an uncomfortable feeling of being pressed against by the step.
[0051] The height h of the limiting post 2 is between 1 and 1.5 cm; the angle α between the axis of the limiting post 2 and the axis of the holding ball 1 is between 130° and 140°, with the optimal angle being 135°. This conforms to the hollow grip angle of the human hand and is more in line with the hollow tilt angle of the hand holding a pen. This provides correct guidance for young children, preventing them from developing incorrect pen-holding postures and allowing for direct and correct guidance, thus avoiding the hassle of recorrecting their pen-holding posture when formally learning to write.
[0052] The side wall of the limiting cover 21 is rounded to prevent injury to young children when they hold it. The limiting cover 21 restricts the position of the child's index finger and thumb from forming a ring, limiting the position and shape of the child's fingers when holding the object. This positional difference gradually forms a holding habit. Young children are born with the habit of grasping toys, and this device is based on this habit. It effectively intervenes in the child's finger holding habits, preventing the child from grasping the object randomly and forming incorrect holding habits, and effectively guiding the child to maintain the correct preschool pen-holding posture.
[0053] The positioning ring 3 is a complete circular ring, fixed to the side wall of the holding ball 1; the side of the positioning ring 3 is also provided with a rounded chamfer; the height difference d between the top of the positioning ring 3 and the bottom of the limiting post 2 does not exceed 1cm. This height allows children with small hands of 3-4 years old to use their ring finger to insert into the positioning ring 3 for positioning, while children of 5-6 years old, whose hands are slightly larger, can put their middle finger on the positioning ring 3. The main purpose of this device is to enable children to hold the ball with their index finger and thumb pinching it into a ring, while the middle finger is below the index finger or also pinched with the thumb, forming a three-finger pinching pen-holding posture.
[0054] The axis of the positioning ring 3 and the axis of the limiting post 2 are perpendicular to each other in the same plane, and the axis of the limiting post 2 is in the same vertical plane as the vertical section of the positioning ring 3 and the holding ball 1.
[0055] The lower end of the holding ball 1 is tilted to one side, and the tilting direction of the lower end of the holding ball 1 is opposite to the direction of the limiting post 2.
[0056] The holding ball 1, limiting post 2, limiting cover 21 and positioning ring 3 of this device are an integral molded structure. They can be made of rubber injection molding or silicone and other safe materials suitable for young children. The key is that they are elastic and durable.
[0057] When using this invention, it is necessary to ensure that the ball 1 is wrapped in the palm of the hand. If the child's palm is small, it is sufficient to form a hollow ball wrapped in the hand. The index finger and thumb need to be at the height of the limiting post 2, that is, at the top of the ball 1. Children with small palms can put their ring finger through the positioning ring 3, while slightly older children can put their middle finger through the positioning ring 3, guiding the child to form a hollow grip habit.
[0058] While specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that the specific embodiments described are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Equivalent modifications and variations made by those skilled in the art in accordance with the spirit of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
