Title:
ORAL TRAINER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3540958
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To train the oral movement for food ingestion in a natural posture by setting an angle made by a line which connects the intersecting position of a grasp part with a biting part to the tip part of the biting part and the virtual center line of the grasp part to be a specified angle.
SOLUTION: A virtual center line C in a longitudinal direction is assumed in the grasp part 11, and the grasp part 11 land the biting part 12 are intersected at a part 0 on the virtual center line C. Then the angle made by the line segment S which connects the tip part Q of an extension part 12d in the biting part 12 to the intersecting part O and the virtual center line C is made to be θ. The angle θ is the sum of the right angle θ1 between a horizontal line H passing the part O and the virtual center line C and the angle θ2 made by the horizontal line H and the segment S. It is favorable that θ2 is 0° or more and equal to or below 60° for an inserting operation to a mouth. Therefore, the angle θ is set to be within a range from 90° to 150°. Then the training of the oral movement for food ingestion is executed in the natural posture.
