[0035] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 14 This describes an adjustable feeding aid according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] An adjustable feeding aid includes a handle 1, a feeding part 2, a connecting block 3, and a shock-absorbing band 4; one end of the connecting block 3 is detachably installed at the head of the handle 1, and the feeding part 2 is rotatably installed at the other end of the connecting block 3; the outer side of the handle 1 is provided with anti-slip texture, and the top surface of the handle 1 is equipped with a shock-absorbing band 4, one end of the shock-absorbing band 4 is fixedly connected to the head of the handle 1, and the other end of the shock-absorbing band 4 is adjustable in length and connected to the tail of the handle 1.

[0037] An adjustable feeding aid is designed for use by the elderly, people with upper limb and nervous system dysfunction, the disabled, and those with limited hand joint flexion, poor grasping ability, insufficient grip strength, or hand tremors. The user holds the handle 1, and a tremor-resistant strap 4 helps the user grip the handle 1, preventing it from falling due to hand tremors. The anti-slip texture further ensures a firm grip on the handle 1. The feeding section 2 is used to hold food and is rotatably mounted to the connecting block 3, allowing it to bend as needed. The other end of the tremor-resistant strap 4 is adjustable in length and connected to the tail of the handle 1. One end of the connecting block 3 is detachably mounted to the head of the handle 1, and the feeding section 2 is rotatably mounted to the other end of the connecting block 3. Different feeding sections 2 can be connected to the connecting block 3 to diversify its use.

[0038] Specifically, one end of the connecting block 3 is configured as a threaded post 5, and the other end of the connecting block 3 is rotatably connected to the feeding part 2. The middle part of the connecting block 3 is configured as a stop position 6, and the width of the stop position 6 is greater than the width of the threaded post 5. The head of the handle 1 is provided with a threaded hole, and the threaded post 5 is threadedly inserted into the threaded hole. The threaded connection is convenient for disassembly and is secure. The stop position 6 can be held against the end face of the head of the handle 1, so that the stop position 6 is tightly attached to the end face of the head of the handle 1, thus making the connecting block 3 and the handle 1 securely connected.

[0039] Specifically, a swing block 10 is provided at the tail of the feeding part 2, and the tail of the feeding part 2 is injection molded to the swing block 10, so that the feeding part 2 is more fixedly connected to the swing block 10. The swing block 10 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 3.

[0040] Specifically, the feeding part 2 is a spoon head, and the tail end of the spoon head is injection molded and connected to the swing block 10. Users can choose to install the feeding part 2 with the spoon head according to their usage.

[0041] Specifically, the feeding part 2 is a fork head, and the tail end of the fork head is injection molded and connected to the oscillating block 10. Users can choose to install the feeding part 2 with the fork head according to their usage.

[0042] Specifically, the food delivery section 2 is a fork and spoon head, the tail end of which is injection molded and connected to the swing block 10. Users can choose to install the fork and spoon head on the food delivery section 2 according to their usage.

[0043] Specifically, the anti-shake strap 4 includes a strap 401, a first loop 402, and a second loop 403. The first loop 402 is rotatably fitted onto the head end of the handle 1, and the second loop 403 is rotatably fitted onto the tail end of the handle 1. The two ends of the strap 401 are connected to the first loop 402 and the second loop 403, respectively. This allows the strap 401 to be adjusted and fixed arbitrarily within a 360-degree range along the axis of the handle 1. The space between the handle 1 and the strap 401 can be used to place a counterweight to meet the needs of patients with Parkinson's disease and hand tremors.

[0044] Specifically, the second ring 403 is provided with an elongated hole 7. One end of the anti-shake strap 4 passes through the elongated hole 7 and then loops back to the middle of the anti-shake strap 4 for connection; this facilitates adjustment of the length of the anti-shake strap 4. A pin 8 is provided at the end of the anti-shake strap 4 that passes through the elongated hole 7. Several insertion holes 9 are evenly distributed on the anti-shake strap 4. The anti-shake strap 4 passes through the elongated hole 7, and the pin 8 is then inserted into the insertion holes 9 for connection. This facilitates the installation and connection of the anti-shake strap 4.

[0045] Specifically, the feeding part 2, injection-molded to one end of the swing block 10, is made of a rotatable material, allowing one end of the feeding part 2 to be bent according to usage. This enables the feeding part 2 to further rotate and bend according to actual conditions. The end of the feeding part 2 connected to the swing block 10 can be made of aluminum.

[0046] Other components and operations of an adjustable feeding aid according to an embodiment of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
