[0019] (Embodiment 1) This embodiment relates to an electric taste device (electric band device) whose main body is a band. With reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, in this embodiment, the electric band device 100 includes a power supply device 200 and a mounting part 160, a third connecting part (power supply mounting part) 170 for mounting a mounting part assembly 165 having a structure in which the power supply device 200 is accommodated in the mounting part 160, a mouth contact part 110, a hand contact part 120, and a band part 130 (main body).

[0020] The mouth contact part 110 and the hand contact part 120 are each electrically connected to a power supply device 200 in the mounting part assembly 165 when the mounting part assembly 165 is attached to the band part 130. The mounting part assembly 165 includes an electric element for realizing an electric taste. The mouth contact part 110 and the hand contact part 120 are conductive and electrically insulated from each other. The mouth contact part 110 and the hand contact part 120 can be made of metal, conductive plastic, conductive resin, conductive cloth, conductive film, conductive ink, carbon material, etc.

[0021] The mouth contact portion 110 and the hand contact portion 120 are disposed on the band portion 130 or are partially embedded in the band portion 130. The band portion 130 is electrically insulating and may be elastic and stretchable. The band portion 130 has a width direction D1 and a longitudinal direction D2, and the longitudinal direction D2 is longer than the width direction D1.

[0022] The electric taste device may further include attachment members (first connecting portion 140 and second connecting portion 150) for fixing the electric taste device to the tableware. When the band portion 130 is made of a ring-shaped rubber or has adhesive properties, the electric taste device can be fixed to the tableware without providing a special fixing structure, but when not, it is preferable to provide an attachment member. In this embodiment, the attachment member includes the first connecting portion 140 and the second connecting portion 150 provided on both ends of the band portion 130 when viewed in the longitudinal direction D2.

[0023] The electric band device 100 can be attached by wrapping it around a bowl 300 near the top opening of the bowl 300, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. If desired, the electric band device 100 can be attached by wrapping it around a disposable container such as a cup, mug, other tableware, or prepared food. If at least a portion of the band portion 130 is elastic and stretchable, the electric band device 100 can be easily wrapped around the bowl 300. Both ends of the electric band device 100 can be connected to each other by a first connecting portion 140 and a second connecting portion 150 to fix the electric band device 100 to the bowl 300. (See Figs. 3 and 4). The first connecting portion 140 and the second connecting portion 150 can be a pair of magnets, a snap, a fastener, a hook and a pin and a hole for holding the pin, or the like. Furthermore, when the first connecting portion 140 and the second connecting portion 150 are connected, they may partially overlap, may completely overlap, or may not overlap.

[0024] The mounting assembly 165 includes a power supply device 200, an optional electric element (described in detail below), and a mounting portion 160. The power supply device 200 (and the electric element) is accommodated in the mounting portion 160, and can be attached to the band portion 130 by a third connecting portion 170. The third connecting portion 170 can be a pair of two connecting portions, that is, a mounting portion side connecting portion 170A and a band side connecting portion 170B, and can be a pair of magnets, snaps (clasps), fasteners, hook-and-loop fasteners, hooks, or the like (FIG. 2). One of the pair of magnets, snaps, fasteners, hook-and-loop fasteners, hooks, or the like can be disposed on the mounting portion 160, and the other of the pair of magnets, snaps, fasteners, hook-and-loop fasteners, hooks, or the like can be disposed on the band portion 130.

[0025] For example, the attachment portion side connecting portion 170A is a magnet M1, and the band side connecting portion 170B is a magnet M2, with the magnet M1 being disposed in the attachment portion 160 and the magnet M2 being disposed in the band portion 130. This allows the attachment portion assembly 165 and the band portion 130 to be connected to each other by magnetic force. In addition, the attachment portion assembly 165 can be easily attached to and detached from the band portion 130.

[0026] When a user eats food, soup, or drinks, the user's hand touches the hand contact portion 120, and the user's mouth touches the mouth contact portion 110. As described above, the mouth contact portion 110 and the hand contact portion 120 are conductive and are electrically connected to the power supply device 200 in the mounting assembly 165, respectively. As a result, an electric circuit is established through the electric band device 100 and a part of the human body, and an electric current can be passed through the human body. This electric current can be a small current within a range that is safe for the human body and provides an effective or desirable electric taste sensation.

[0027] The mounting assembly 165 includes an electric element and a mounting part 160 which is a case for accommodating the electric element. The mounting part 160 is electrically insulating and has a hollow space for accommodating at least the power supply device 200. The mounting assembly 165 may optionally include electric elements for controlling the current flowing through the human body, such as a noise reduction element 210, a circuit feedback control element 220, and a current control element 250 (see FIG. 5). The power supply device 200, the noise reduction element 210, the circuit feedback control element 220, and the current control element 250 are disposed in the hollow space of the mounting part 160 to configure the mounting assembly 165. A first button 230 and a second button 240 may be disposed on the mounting part 160 so as to be operable for the mounting assembly 165, and the power can be turned on and off with the first button 230, and the applied voltage can be controlled with the second button 240, so that a desired electric taste strength can be obtained. This allows the mount assembly 165 to provide a preferred voltage, a preferred current, a preferred voltage waveform, and a preferred current waveform.

[0028] In summary, the electric band device 100 of the present invention can provide the user's desired electric taste sensation using the user's desired bowl 300 or container.

[0029] Band 130 may be provided with a branched structure or additional connectors so that the hand contact portion can be attached to a mug or other glass with a handle, with the hand contact portion being positioned on the handle. Furthermore, the connecting structure of first connecting portion 140 and second connecting portion 150 may be configured to accommodate openings of different sizes, or other connecting structures may be used.

[0030] For tableware made of conductive material such as stainless steel, a tableware contact part that electrically connects the tableware to the power supply device 200 may be provided instead of either the mouth contact part or the hand contact part, allowing electricity to flow through the tableware, so that the tableware itself functions as either the mouth contact part or the hand contact part. In this way, the user can choose the position where the tableware is placed on the mouth or where the tableware is held, improving usability.

[0031] Instead of a band-type main body, a main body having an adhesive layer for detachably attaching the electric taste device to the tableware may be used. This configuration increases the degree of freedom in designing the main body, such as the arrangement of each contact part. In this case, the main body is preferably flexible so as to fit various tableware shapes, and more preferably has stretchability and elasticity.

[0032] The electric taste sensor device may be attached to the edge of the dish by a hook or the like.

[0033] (Embodiment 2) The present embodiment relates to an electric taste device (electric straw device) that holds a straw.

[0034] 6 and 7, in this embodiment, the electric straw device 500 includes a power supply device 200, a holder body assembly 570 having a holder body (main body) 560, a hand contact portion 520 provided on the holder body 560, and a straw holder 510 provided with a mouth contact portion. The straw holder 510 is connected to the holder body 560, and the hand contact portion 520 is disposed on the outer surface of the holder body 560.

[0035] The holder body assembly 570 includes the power supply device 200 and an electric element, and the holder body 560 which is a case for accommodating these.

[0036] The holder main body 560 is electrically insulating and has a hollow space for accommodating electric elements such as the power supply device 200, the noise reduction element 210, the circuit feedback control element 220, and the current control element 250 (see FIG. 11).

[0037] The straw holder 510 is at least partially conductive, and this conductive portion functions as the mouth contact portion. The hand contact portion 520 is provided on the surface of the holder body portion 560 and is conductive. Of course, the entire straw holder 510 can be made conductive. The mouth contact portion and the hand contact portion 520 are each electrically connected to the power supply device 200 in the holder body portion assembly 570. The mouth contact portion and the hand contact portion 520 are electrically insulated from each other. The materials of the mouth contact portion and the hand contact portion 520 may be the same as those in the above embodiment 1.

[0038] In this embodiment, the holder main body 560 and the straw holder 510 constitute the main body according to the present invention.

[0039] The electric straw device 500 is configured to insert the straw 350. The holder body 560 is formed with a first hole 540, and the straw holder 510 is formed with a second hole 550. The first hole 540 and the second hole 550 are both through holes, and are coaxial with each other for inserting the straw 350 (see FIG. 8), and the first hole 540 and the second hole 550 form a mounting member for the straw. The holder body 560 can be made at least partially elastic, particularly around the first hole 540, so that the straw 350 can be fitted and held by an appropriate force such as elastic force. Also, if the holder body 560 does not have elasticity, an elastic ring can be inserted into the first hole 540, and the straw 350 can be fitted and held in the first hole 540.

[0040] The diameter of the second hole 550 may be slightly larger than the diameter of the first hole 540, and since the straw 350 can be fitted and held in the first hole 540 of the holder body portion 560, the straw holder 510 does not need to be elastic.

[0041] The straw 350 may be conductive, non-conductive or insulating and may be made of metal, bamboo, silicon or plastic, etc. The straw 350 may be inserted into the top of the straw holder 510 or into the middle of the straw holder 510.

[0042] When a user drinks a beverage that may contain solids, the user's hand touches the hand contact portion 520, and the user's mouth touches the mouth contact portion of the straw holder 510. As described above, the mouth contact portion and the hand contact portion 520 are each electrically connected to the power supply device 200 in the holder body assembly 570. As a result, an electric circuit is established through the electric straw device 500 and a part of the human body, and an electric current can be passed through the human body. This electric current can be a small current within a range that is safe for the human body and provides an effective or desirable electric taste sensation.

[0043] The holder body assembly 570 includes at least the power supply device 200, and optionally includes a noise reduction element 210, a circuit feedback control element 220, a current control element 250, a first button 230, and a second button 240. The power supply device 200, the noise reduction element 210, the circuit feedback control element 220, and the current control element 250 can be disposed in a hollow space of the holder body 560. The first button 230 and the second button 240 are disposed in the holder body 560 so as to be operable for the holder body assembly 570, and the first button 230 can be used to turn on and off the power, and the second button 240 can be used to control the applied voltage, thereby obtaining a desired electric taste intensity (see FIG. 11). In this way, the holder body assembly 570 can provide a preferred voltage, a preferred current, a preferred voltage waveform, and a preferred current waveform.

[0044] 10 is a plan view of another embodiment of the electric straw device. In this embodiment, an elastic sheet-like material is placed in the first hole 540, and multiple slits 545 are formed by radially cutting the elastic sheet-like material. This allows the straw 350 to be more stably fitted and held.

[0045] 12 is a plan view of another embodiment of the electric straw device. In this embodiment, instead of arranging the hand contact part 520 on the side surface of the holder body part 560, an upper surface hand contact part 525 is arranged on the upper surface of the holder body part 560.

[0046] The shape of the holder main body 560 may be a cylinder as shown in FIG. 6, as well as a ball, a sphere, a rugby ball, a cube, a random shape, and any other possible shape.

[0047] In summary, the electric straw device 500 of the present invention can provide the user's desired electric taste sensation using the user's desired straw 350.

[0048] In addition, elastic protrusions may be provided in the first hole 540 and the second hole 550 to improve the straw holding ability and the compatibility with straws of different diameters. Furthermore, the shape of the holder main body 560 is not particularly limited, and may be a shape that takes ease of holding into consideration, and the shape and arrangement of the hand contact part 520 may be designed according to this shape. Furthermore, as an electric straw device for reusable metal straws, a configuration in which a tableware contact part is provided instead of either the mouth contact part or the hand contact part may be adopted.

[0049] (Embodiment 3) The present embodiment relates to an electric cutlery device that imparts an electric taste to cutlery such as a fork and a spoon.

[0050] 13 to 16, in this embodiment, the electric cutlery device 700 includes a power supply device 200, a handle body assembly 770 having a power supply device 200, a cutlery contact portion (dish contact portion) 710, a hand contact portion 720, and a handle body (main body) 760 having an insertion space 780 that holds these and functions as an attachment member.

The materials of the cutlery contact portion 710 and the hand contact portion 720 may be the same as those of the mouth contact portion and the hand contact portion in the first embodiment.

[0055] The cutlery 850 is preferably at least partially conductive so that it can be electrically connected to the cutlery contact portion 710. More specifically, the portion of the cutlery 850 that contacts the user's mouth should be electrically connected to the cutlery contact portion 710 via the handle portion of the cutlery 850.

[0056] When a user eats food or soup with the cutlery 850, the user's hand touches the hand contact portion 720, and the user's mouth touches the cutlery 850, which is electrically connected to the cutlery contact portion 710. As described above, the cutlery contact portion 710 and the hand contact portion 720 are each electrically connected to the power supply device 200 in the handle body assembly 770. As a result, an electric circuit is established through the electric cutlery device 700 and a part of the human body, and an electric current can be passed through the human body. This electric current can be a small current within a range that is safe for the human body and provides an effective or desirable electric taste sensation.

[0057] The handle body assembly 770 includes at least the power supply device 200, and optionally includes a noise reduction element 210, a circuit feedback control element 220, a current control element 250, a first button 230, and a second button 240. The power supply device 200, the noise reduction element 210, the circuit feedback control element 220, and the current control element 250 can be disposed in a hollow space in the handle body 760. The first button 230 and the second button 240 are disposed on the outer surface S2 of the handle body 760, and the user can turn the power on and off with the first button 230 and control the applied voltage with the second button 240 to obtain the desired electric taste intensity (see FIG. 20). In this way, the handle body assembly 770 can provide a preferred voltage, a preferred current, a preferred voltage waveform, and a preferred current waveform.

[0058] 17 shows the inner surface S1 of the handle body 760 of another embodiment of the electric cutlery device 700.
