Utensil holder

摘要

A utensil holder is provided which generally includes a plurality of resilient, interconnected coils for enwrapping around a stem of a utensil or other instrument for facilitating manual manipulation of the utensil by young children or persons with special handicaps. The coils include an inner diameter which is expandable upon twisting of the holder along a longitudinal axis thereof. Upon expanding of the inner diameter, a utensil stem of any size or shape may be inserted within the coils. Resiliency and hysteresis of the coils cause the coils to contract about the utensil stem and resist rotation or longitudinal slippage while the utensil is in use.
