Abstract

To provide a tool for orally taking medicine or eating / drinking which facilitates orally taking medicine or eating / drinking while suppressing bending backward of the neck or elevation of an arm.SOLUTION: The tool comprises: a recessed receiving part 2 in which medicine and / or food / drink can be received; and an operation part 3 for pushing an inner bottom face of the receiving part 2 upward. More specifically, the receiving part 2 comprises an outer member 5 having a recessed part 4 and an inner member 6 provided in the outer member 5. In the recessed part 4, the inner member 6 can be placed so as to be recessed downward. The operation part 3 is provided with an elastically deformable hollow part 3a. When the hollow part 3a is pushed and flattened, the air pushed out from the inside of the hollow part 3a pushes the inner member 6 upward. In a state that the inner member 6 added with a drug X or the like is contained in a mouth, the drug X or the like can be released from the inner member 6 into the mouth through operation of the operation part 3.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4

Claims

[Claim 1] An oral medication / eating device comprising a concave storage section (2) into which medicine and / or food / drink can be placed, and an operating section (3) that pushes up the inner bottom surface of the storage section (2), The housing section (2) comprises an outer material (5) having a concave portion (4) and an inner material (6) provided on the outer material (5), The inner material (6) can be positioned in the concave portion (4) such that it is recessed downwards. The operating section (3) includes an elastically deformable hollow section (3a), The inner material (6) is positioned so as to follow the inner surface of the concave portion (4) when the hollow portion (3a) is not compressed. As the hollow portion (3a) is crushed, the air inside the hollow portion (3a) is forced between the outer material (5) and the inner material (6), pushing up the inner material (6), and deforming so that the inner material (6) bulges upward from the upper opening of the concave portion (4). The outer material (5) is formed in the shape of a spoon's scoop using a material that cannot be elastically deformed. The device includes an intermediate material (7) that is shaped like the handle of a spoon and is not elastically deformable, The outer material (5) and the operating part (3) are provided via the intermediate material (7). The intermediate material (7) has a through hole (9) formed in the longitudinal direction, with one end of the through hole (9) passing through the outer material (5) and opening into the inner surface of the concave portion (4) of the outer material (5), while the other end of the through hole (9) opens into the hollow portion (3a) of the operating portion (3). A device for taking or eating / drinking, characterized by its features.
