Self-feeding apparatus and method

摘要

A self-feeding apparatus and method is illustrated wherein a pivoted arm carries a spoon between a raised position for eating and a lower position for filling from a plate. The spoon is permitted to fall about its pivotal connection by gravity and then the arm carrying the spoon is lowered so as to push the spoon forwardly or radially of the plate which is preferably turned simultaneously in order to fill the spoon with food preparatory to the user or operator taking another bite.
