Description

  The present invention relates to a paper placemat.

  There is a placemat as a rug to put tableware on a table for one serving. Placemats are used in various places such as homes, shops, hospitals and nursing homes. As the placemats, water-repellent cloth-like silk has become the mainstream, but in recent years, disposable crepe paper has become widespread from the viewpoint of hygiene.

  By the way, for the purpose of making caregivers such as elderly people aware of eating habits, caregivers or managers explain to the caregivers about materials contained in food or take care of those left over There are cases where attempts have been made to listen to the person. However, in order for a caregiver or a manager to perform them continuously for all the care recipients, a great deal of labor of the caregiver or the manager is required. Therefore, for example, as described in Patent Document 1, a placemat on which a picture of a cooking item or material is drawn and a description of the cooking item or material is simplified or omitted so that the caregiver or the management It may be possible to reduce the labor of the worker.

  However, in such a case, not all cared persons use the place mat correctly as envisioned by the carer or the manager, and there is a high possibility that the desired effect cannot be obtained. In particular, care recipients have fewer opportunities to communicate with caregivers and managers, so there is a problem for patients with dementia and the like that simply providing a placemat does not lead to awareness of eating habits.

  In addition, awareness of eating habits is very important not only for cared persons such as patients with dementia but also for preschool children. For example, a placemat may be used in kindergartens, nurseries, homes, etc. to raise awareness of eating habits for young children. In this way, it can be said that there are a variety of ways to use place mats to raise awareness of eating habits. Placemats are usually used in actual eating places, but can also be used as a tool in setting childcare. Therefore, the user and application of the placemat are not particularly limited.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object thereof is to provide a place mat that leads to awareness of eating habits.

  In the luncheon mat of the present invention, a plurality of first markers including illustrations simulating the shape of tableware are printed at different positions on the upper surface, and at least a first including an illustration simulating the shape of a spoon, spoon or fork. A marker is provided with a paper sheet printed on the lower edge. In this placemat, among the plurality of first markers, a first marker other than the first marker including an illustration imitating the shape of a chopstick (hereinafter referred to as “second marker”) is a writing space or pasted. Has a space. Here, tableware refers to utensils used for cooking, meals, liquor or drinks, such as tea bowls, soup bowls, bowls, dishes, bowls, chopsticks, spoons, forks, knives, sake cups, glasses, glasses. It is a concept that includes The arrangement indicates an appropriate position assigned on the place mat. A marker is a mark or a target. The writing space or the pasting space is provided in the inner or outer edge of each second marker.

  In the placemat of the present invention, each second marker printed on a paper sheet is provided with a space for writing or pasting a dish item or the contents corresponding thereto. For example, a dish item is written on the inside or the outer edge of each second marker, and a predetermined space is provided in the vicinity thereof. Thereby, a cared person or an infant (hereinafter, simply referred to as “cared person or the like”) can write or paste, for example, a cooking item or a content corresponding to the writing space or the pasting space. it can. At this time, the caregiver, manager, guardian, or childcare person (hereinafter simply referred to as “caregiver etc.”) can write with the caregiver etc. about the meal through writing or pasting the contents as described above. Smooth communication is possible.

  For example, there is almost no consistency in the cooking items included in a meal between a meal containing a bowl and a meal containing bread. For this reason, if the food item or the contents corresponding to each of the second markers on the place mat is described in advance, the contents of the meal may not be consistent with the contents of the place mat. It is expected to increase. As described above, when there is a content conflict between the content of the meal and the content of the placemat, the cared person or the like becomes uncomfortable or dissatisfied due to the content conflict. As a result, it becomes difficult for the caregiver or the like to communicate smoothly with the care recipient during the meal through the place mat.

  For example, when the word “rice” is described as a cooking item on the placemat, but the character “bread” is not described, bread may be arranged on the character “rice”. At this time, the caregiver or the like may misunderstand that the care receiver or the like has eaten the rice, and may try to communicate with the care receiver or the like. In that case, care recipients need to explain to their caregivers that they ate bread instead of rice, but if they are not aware of their misunderstandings, etc. And the caregiver's conversation do not mesh. As a result, it becomes difficult for the caregiver or the like to communicate smoothly with the care recipient during the meal through the place mat.

  To avoid such a situation, it is conceivable to customize the place mat for each meal. However, in such a case, there are many types of placemats, and it is necessary to devote a huge amount of man-hours to managing the placemats.

  On the other hand, in the present invention, each second marker of the placemat does not specifically describe the cooking item or the contents corresponding thereto, and the dished item or the contents corresponding to the food item actually eaten by the care recipient etc. Can be written or affixed in the space in each second marker of the placemat. As a result, there is no discrepancy between the contents of the meal and the contents of the placemat, so caregivers etc. should communicate smoothly with the care recipient etc. through the placemat. Can do.

  In addition, when a cared person specifically describes a cooking item or a corresponding content in an empty space of the placemat (that is, a place different from the second marker), for each cared person, Description content, description location, description order will be different. In this case, caregivers and others need to confirm the contents written on the placemat, so the caregiver and the like can take a meal with the caregiver and the like through the placemat for a limited time. It will be difficult to communicate smoothly.

  On the other hand, in the present invention, a space for writing or pasting the cooking item or the contents corresponding to the cooking item or the corresponding content is provided in the inside or the outer edge of each second marker. Or the content corresponding to it is described in the space in each 2nd marker of a placemat, or will be affixed. Thereby, since the desired content is written or affixed to the predetermined place of the placemat, the caregiver or the like can confirm the content written on the placemat with little effort. As a result, the caregiver or the like can communicate smoothly with the cared person or the like through the place mat even during a limited time. In the present invention, since one type of placemat is sufficient, it is not necessary to devote a huge amount of man-hours to managing the placemat.

  In the placemat of the present invention, it is preferable that each second marker is constituted by an illustration imitating the shape of tableware. Here, “illustration” refers to an illustration or an explanatory diagram, and is a concept including those drawn by a pictorial expression, a graphic expression, a photographic expression, or the like. Illustrations are sometimes referred to as illustrations for short. In the place mat of the present invention, when each second marker is configured with an illustration imitating the shape of tableware, each second marker is configured with an illustration imitating the shape of a dish item; In comparison, the placemat can be flexibly adapted to the variety of cooking items.

  For example, when the illustration of rice is described in the place mat but the illustration of bread is not described, the bread may be arranged on the illustration of rice. At this time, the caregiver or the like may misunderstand that the care receiver or the like has eaten the rice, and may try to communicate with the care receiver or the like. In that case, care recipients need to explain to their caregivers that they ate bread instead of rice, but if they are not aware of their misunderstandings, etc. And the caregiver's conversation do not mesh. As a result, it becomes difficult for the caregiver or the like to communicate smoothly with the care recipient during the meal through the place mat.

  In order to avoid such a situation, it is conceivable to include rice and bread illustrations on the placemat. However, even when doing so, when udon is served as a meal, it will be placed on top of the rice and bread illustration. At this time, the same problem as described above occurs. Therefore, it is conceivable to include all possible illustrations. However, in such a case, the illustrations on the placemat will be crowded, and what the care recipient etc. will have written on the placemat. It is not easy to discriminate. Therefore, it is conceivable to describe as carbohydrate instead of individual illustrations. However, in such a case, there may be a case where the cared person or the like does not know or understand that the carbohydrate indicates rice or udon. After all, in either case, there is a problem that it is difficult for the caregiver or the like to communicate smoothly with the cared person or the like through the place mat.

  On the other hand, in the place mat of the present invention, when each second marker is configured with an illustration imitating the shape of tableware, it is possible to generally cope with any meal. Therefore, in the present invention, it is possible to flexibly correspond to the variety of dish items, as compared with the case where each second marker is configured with an illustration imitating the shape of the dish item.

  In the placemat of the present invention, each second marker may be provided with a space for writing or pasting the amount of food or drink or contents corresponding thereto as a writing space or a pasting space. For example, the amount of food consumed is written inside each second marker, and a predetermined space is provided in the vicinity thereof. In such a case, the caregiver or the like can communicate smoothly with the cared person or the like about the meal through writing or pasting the amount of food or drink or the content corresponding thereto.

  Furthermore, in the place mat of the present invention, when each second marker is provided with a space for writing the amount of food or drink or the content corresponding thereto as a writing space, each second marker is in the writing space, It is preferable to have an illustration in which the amount of food consumed is expressed in multiple stages. At this time, it is extremely preferable that the illustration expressing the amount of food and drink is in a form that can be used for either eating or drinking. In this case, there is no need to distinguish illustrations between the case where the cooking item is food and the case where it is a drink, so the amount of food consumed is, for example, “all eaten”, “half eaten”, “a little bit” Compared to the case of “eating”, the place mat can be flexibly adapted to the variety of cooking items. As a result, the caregiver or the like can communicate smoothly with the cared person or the like about the meal through writing the amount of food or drink or the content corresponding thereto.

  According to the place mat of the present invention, each second marker printed on a paper sheet is provided with a space for writing a cooking item or a corresponding content as a writing space or a pasting space. Through the writing or pasting to the place mat, it is possible to smoothly communicate with the care recipient etc. about the meal. Thereby, compared with the case where a place mat is only provided, communication between the care recipient and the caregiver can be promoted. As a result, dementia patients and infants can be connected to the awareness of eating habits by using placemats.

  In particular, in the place mat of the present invention, each second marker is provided with a space for writing a cooking item or content corresponding thereto, and a space for writing the amount of food consumed or the content corresponding thereto. In addition to improving the awareness of eating habits, nutritional management and health promotion of the care recipient can be achieved. Similarly, in the place mat of the present invention, each second marker is provided with a space for pasting a cooking item or content corresponding thereto, a space for pasting the amount of food or drink or corresponding content, and the content and result of the meal. By pasting on a cared person, etc., it becomes possible not only to improve awareness of eating habits, but also to promote nutritional management and health promotion of the cared person.

It is a plane lineblock diagram of a place mat concerning one embodiment of the present invention.

  Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

<Embodiment>
[Constitution]
FIG. 1 shows an example of a planar configuration of a place mat 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The place mat 1 can be used in various places such as homes, shops, hospitals, nursing homes, kindergartens and nurseries. The place mat 1 is usually used at a meal place, but can also be used at other places. The place mat 1 can also be used as a tool for setting childcare in, for example, a kindergarten or a nursery school. The place mat 1 is made of a material that can be printed on the upper and lower surfaces of the place mat 1, and is made of paper, for example, and made of a paper sheet. The place mat 1 is printed at least on the upper surface. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the place mat 1 has a plurality of placement markers 20 to 80 on the top surface, and the plurality of placement markers 20 to 80 are formed by printing on the top surface. .

  Here, the arrangement in the “arrangement marker” refers to an appropriate position assigned on the place mat 1, and the object to be arranged is, for example, tableware. Tableware refers to utensils used for cooking, eating, liquor or drinks, including, for example, tea bowls, soup bowls, bowls, dishes, bowls, chopsticks, spoons, forks, knives, liquors, cups, glasses, etc. It is a concept. In addition, the marker in the “placement marker” indicates a mark or a target. The arrangement markers 20 to 80 are printed at different positions on the top surface of the place mat 1. That is, the place mat 1 can arrange some tableware one by one on each arrangement marker 20-80. In addition, it does not necessarily mean that tableware must be arranged on all the arrangement markers 20 to 80, and on which arrangement marker of the plurality of arrangement markers 20 to 80 the tableware is arranged, It is up to the meal distributor.

  Note that the number of placement markers printed on the upper surface of the placemat 1 may be two or more, and need not be seven as shown in FIG. Although not shown, advertisements, public relations, and the like may be printed on the lower surface of the place mat 1. Although not shown, an advertisement, a public relations, or the like may be printed in an empty space on the top surface of the place mat 1.

  Each placement marker 20-80 has a writing space or a pasting space. The writing space or the pasting space is provided inside or on the outer edge of each placement marker 20-80. When each of the placement markers 20 to 80 has a writing space, the care recipient needs to prepare a writing instrument or have someone prepare it. On the other hand, when each placement marker 20-80 has an affixing space, the care recipient needs to prepare an adhesive sticker or have someone prepare it. is there. Considering the complexity of preparing an adhesive seal, it is preferable that each placement marker 20-80 has a writing space.

  Each arrangement marker 20 to 80 does not specifically describe the dish item or the contents corresponding thereto, and each arrangement marker 20 to 80 has the dish item or the contents corresponding thereto as a writing space or a pasting space. Has space to write or paste. For example, a cooking item is written inside each of the placement markers 20 to 80, and a predetermined space is provided next to the cooking item. In addition, it is not always necessary to write “cooking item” in each of the placement markers 20 to 80, and the writing item or the corresponding content is written between the cared person and the caregiver or manager. Alternatively, when there is a common recognition about the pasting place, another content may be described. For example, it may be sufficient that only a predetermined underline or enclosing line indicating a place to write or paste a cooking item or its corresponding content is written inside each placement marker 20-80.

  Each arrangement marker 20-80 is comprised by the illustration imitating the shape of tableware. Here, “illustration” refers to an illustration or an explanatory diagram, and is a concept including those drawn by a pictorial expression, a graphic expression, a photographic expression, or the like. Illustrations are sometimes referred to as illustrations for short. The “illustration imitating the shape of tableware” is a concept that includes not only an illustration that represents the shape of the tableware three-dimensionally, but also an illustration that represents the shape of the tableware planarly. "Illustrations that represent the shape of tableware in a plane" include illustrations that represent the shape of tableware when viewed from the top, bottom, right, left, front, or back (for example, circular or elliptical) , Semicircles, trapezoids, rectangles, rectangles with rounded corners, etc.). Therefore, the “illustration simulating the shape of tableware” includes the one that the shape of the tableware is expressed three-dimensionally or planarly, even if it is not easy for the observer to recall the tableware immediately. It is.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 1, each of the placement markers 20 to 80 has a circular shape or a square shape with rounded corners. The arrangement marker 20 is printed on the lower end edge of the upper surface of the place mat 1, and is configured by an illustration imitating the shape of a chopstick, spoon, or fork, for example. The arrangement markers 30 and 40 are configured by illustrations simulating shapes such as tea bowls, soup bowls, or bowls, for example. The arrangement markers 50 and 60 are configured by illustrations simulating shapes such as dishes or bowls, for example. The arrangement marker 70 is configured by an illustration imitating the shape of, for example, a sake cup, a cup, or a glass. The arrangement marker 80 is configured by an illustration imitating the shape of a dish or a bowl, for example.

  One or a plurality of markers among the plurality of arrangement markers 20 to 80 may be configured with an illustration imitating a shape different from the shape of tableware. For example, the arrangement marker 80 may be configured with an illustration imitating the shape of a medicine bag. At this time, the object to be placed in the “placement marker” is a medicine. Furthermore, at this time, for example, the arrangement marker 80 has a space for writing or pasting medicines as a writing space or a pasting space. For example, the word “medicine” or an illustration of a capsule or a tablet is written inside the arrangement marker 80, and a predetermined space is provided next to it.

  Each arrangement | positioning marker 20-80 has the space which writes or pastes the amount corresponding to the amount eaten or eaten or the content corresponding to it as a writing space or a sticking space. For example, the amount of food consumed is written inside each of the placement markers 20 to 80, and a predetermined space is provided beside that. In addition, it is not always necessary to write the amount of food consumed inside each of the placement markers 20 to 80, and the amount of food consumed or the content corresponding to the amount of food consumed between the care recipient and the caregiver or manager. When there is a common recognition about the writing place or the pasting place, another content may be described. For example, there may be a case where only a predetermined underline or enclosing line indicating the amount of eating or drinking or the content writing or pasting location corresponding thereto is written inside each of the placement markers 20 to 80.

  For example, when the placement marker 80 has a space for writing or pasting medicine as a writing space or a pasting space, for example, “drug taking” is placed inside the placement marker 80. ”,“ I am not taking medicine ”, and there is a checkbox next to it.

  When each placement marker 20-80 has a writing space, each placement marker 20-80 may have an illustration in which the amount of food consumed is expressed in multiple stages in the writing space. . At this time, it is extremely preferable that the illustration expressing the amount of food and drink is in a form that can be used for either eating or drinking.

[effect]
Next, the effect in the place mat 1 of this Embodiment is demonstrated.

  In the place mat 1 according to the present embodiment, each of the placement markers 20 to 80 suggesting the placement of tableware printed on a paper sheet is written with the cooking item or the contents corresponding to the inside or the outer edge thereof. Or a space for pasting. Thereby, the cared person can write or paste, for example, the cooking item or the contents corresponding to the writing space or the pasting space. At this time, the caregiver or manager can communicate smoothly with the cared person about the meal through writing or pasting the contents as described above. For example, when a place mat is used in a kindergarten, a nursery school, a home, etc., communication between an infant and a guardian or a childcare worker can be promoted.

  For example, there is almost no consistency in the cooking items included in a meal between a meal containing a bowl and a meal containing bread. For this reason, if the food item or the corresponding content is described in advance in each place marker of the place mat, there is often no consistency between the content of the meal and the content of the place mat. It is assumed that Thus, when there is a content conflict between the content of the meal and the content of the placemat, the cared person or the infant (hereinafter simply referred to as “caregiver etc.”) is in the content cage. I feel discomfort and dissatisfaction. As a result, caregivers, managers, guardians, or childcare workers (hereinafter simply referred to as “caregivers”, etc.) are difficult to communicate smoothly with the care recipients through the place mat.

  For example, when the word “rice” is described as a cooking item on the placemat, but the character “bread” is not described, bread may be arranged on the character “rice”. At this time, the caregiver or the like may misunderstand that the care receiver or the like has eaten the rice, and may try to communicate with the care receiver or the like. In that case, care recipients need to explain to their caregivers that they ate bread instead of rice, but if they are not aware of their misunderstandings, etc. And the caregiver's conversation do not mesh. As a result, it becomes difficult for the caregiver or the like to communicate smoothly with the care recipient during the meal through the place mat.

  To avoid such a situation, it is conceivable to customize the place mat for each meal. However, in such a case, there are many types of placemats, and it is necessary to devote a huge amount of man-hours to managing the placemats.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, each of the placement markers 20 to 80 of the place mat 1 does not specifically describe the dish item or the contents corresponding thereto, and the dished item actually eaten by the care recipient or the like. Or the content corresponding to it can be described in the space in each arrangement | positioning marker 20-80 of the place mat 1, or it can affix. As a result, there is no discrepancy between the contents of the meal and the contents of the place mat 1, so that caregivers can communicate smoothly with the care recipients through the place mat 1. Can take.

  In addition, when a cared person or the like specifically describes a cooking item or content corresponding to the empty space of the place mat 1 (that is, a place different from the placement markers 20 to 80), the cared person or the like The description content, description location, and description order differ for each. In this case, caregivers and others need to confirm the contents described in the placemat 1, so that caregivers and the like can take care of the caregivers and the like through the placemat 1 within a limited time. It becomes difficult to communicate smoothly about meals.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, a space for writing or pasting the cooking item or the content corresponding thereto is provided in the inside or outside edge of each of the placement markers 20 to 80. The eaten dish item or the content corresponding thereto is written or pasted in the space in each of the placement markers 20 to 80 of the place mat 1. As a result, since the desired content is written or affixed to a predetermined place on the placemat 1, the caregiver or the like can check the content written on the placemat 1 with little effort. it can. As a result, the caregiver and the like can communicate smoothly with the cared person and the like through the place mat 1 even during a limited time. In the present embodiment, one type of placemat 1 is sufficient, and therefore it is not necessary to devote a huge amount of man-hours to managing the placemat 1.

  In the placemat 1 of the present embodiment, each of the placement markers 20 to 80 is configured with an illustration imitating the shape of tableware. Thereby, it is possible to make the place mat 1 flexibly correspond to the variety of cooking items as compared with the case where each arrangement marker is configured with an illustration imitating the shape of the cooking item.

  For example, when the illustration of rice is described in the place mat but the illustration of bread is not described, the bread may be arranged on the illustration of rice. At this time, the caregiver or the like may misunderstand that the care receiver or the like has eaten the rice, and may try to communicate with the care receiver or the like. In that case, care recipients need to explain to their caregivers that they ate bread instead of rice, but if they are not aware of their misunderstandings, etc. And the caregiver's conversation do not mesh. As a result, it becomes difficult for the caregiver or the like to communicate smoothly with the care recipient during the meal through the place mat.

  In order to avoid such a situation, it is conceivable to include rice and bread illustrations on the placemat. However, even when doing so, when udon is served as a meal, it will be placed on top of the rice and bread illustration. At this time, the same problem as described above occurs. Therefore, it is conceivable to include all possible illustrations. However, in such a case, the illustrations on the placemat will be crowded, and what the care recipient etc. will have written on the placemat. It is not easy to discriminate. Therefore, it is conceivable to describe as carbohydrate instead of individual illustrations. However, in such a case, there may be a case where the cared person or the like does not know or understand that the carbohydrate indicates rice or udon. After all, in either case, there is a problem that it is difficult for the caregiver or the like to communicate smoothly with the cared person or the like through the place mat.

  On the other hand, in the place mat 1 of the present embodiment, each of the placement markers 20 to 80 is configured with an illustration imitating the shape of tableware, so that it can generally cope with any meal. is there. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the place mat 1 can flexibly correspond to the variety of cooking items as compared with the case where each arrangement marker is configured with an illustration imitating the shape of the cooking item. .

  Moreover, in the placemat 1 of this Embodiment, in each arrangement marker 20-80, the space which writes or pastes the amount corresponding to the amount eaten or eaten or the content corresponding to it as a writing space or affixing space is provided. Thereby, caregivers etc. can take smooth communication with care recipients etc. about meals through writing or pasting the amount eaten or eaten or the contents corresponding thereto.

  Furthermore, in the placemat 1 of this Embodiment, each arrangement | positioning marker 20-80 has the illustration by which the amount eaten / drinked was expressed in several steps in writing space. At this time, if the illustration that expresses the amount of food or drink is in a form that can be used for either eating or drinking, the cooking item is either food or drink. Because there is no need to distinguish between illustrations, the placemat 1 is more diverse than the ones that are expressed as “eating all”, “half-eating”, or “eating a little”. It is possible to respond flexibly. As a result, the caregiver or the like can communicate smoothly with the cared person or the like about the meal through writing the amount of food or drink or the content corresponding thereto.

  Thus, in this embodiment, a caregiver or the like can smoothly communicate with a cared person or the like about a meal through writing or pasting on the place mat 1. Thereby, compared with the case where a place mat is only provided, communication between the care recipient and the caregiver can be promoted. As a result, patients with dementia, infants, and the like can be connected to awareness of eating habits by using the place mat 1.

  In particular, in the placemat 1 of the present embodiment, when each of the placement markers 20 to 80 is provided with a space for writing a cooking item or content corresponding thereto, or a space for writing the amount of food or drink or the content corresponding thereto. By writing the contents and results of meals to the cared person, etc., it is possible not only to improve the awareness of meal habits but also to promote nutritional management and health promotion of the cared person. Similarly, in the place mat 1 of the present embodiment, each of the placement markers 20 to 80 is provided with a space for pasting a dish item or content corresponding thereto, and a space for pasting the amount of food or drink or content corresponding thereto. If the person is present, the contents and results of the meal are pasted to the cared person or the like, thereby not only improving the consciousness of the meal habit but also the nutrition management and health promotion of the cared person or the like.

  For example, the caregiver or the like may file the place mat 1 filled in by the care recipient for all three meals in the morning, noon, and evening so that the cooking items and the amount of food and drinks can be confirmed at any time. In such a case, a caregiver or the like can appropriately perform nutritional management or health promotion of the care recipient by using the filed place mat 1 appropriately. In addition, when caregivers use the filed place mat 1 as appropriate, compared to when the caregivers regularly ask the caregivers about their meals. , More accurate nutrition management can be performed.

  Also, for example, when the cared person or the like is filing the placemat 1 or the caregiver is informing the cared person or the like at any time that he or she is filing the placemat 1 The care recipients can be aware of fulfillment and achievement through the daily description on the placemat 1.
