UTENSIL HAVING AN ADJUSTABLE SHAPE FOR A PERSON WITH REDUCED MOBILITY, AND MANUFACTURE THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to a utensil that comprises a gripping portion P, an end portion T for contacting food, and an intermediate portion D that comprises a plastically deformable metal core (2) embedded in an elastically deformable plastic material (15). According to the invention, the bonding between the metal core (2) of the intermediate portion D and the layer (15) of viscoelastic plastic material is provided by a structure (3) that is made of a rigid plastic material and forms anchoring lugs (10a, 10b, 11) in several areas of said metal core (2) and extends at (3a) at least on the side of the gripping portion P, the back of said portion being covered by the viscoelastic material (15). With this structure, the core (2) is perfectly positioned and the plastic deformations of the intermediate portion D have no impact on the cohesion between the viscoelastic material (15) and the metal core (2).
