Abstract
A child's plate includes a food bowl ( ) which is supported by a surrounding raised rim ( ) one upper edge-part ( ) of which connects with the upper edge-part ( ) of the bowl ( ) and the other, lower rim part ( ) of which defines a support plane ( ) with which the rim rests on a planar support surface around the whole of its periphery. The rim ( ) is adapted to support the bowl ( ) above the support surface. The rim ( ) slopes outwardly and downwardly from its upper edge towards its bottom edge ( ). The inner wall surface of the bowl ( ) and the outer wall surface of the rim ( ) define a downwardly divergent angle of at least 20°. The bottom edge ( ) of the rim ( ) includes friction enhancing means ( ) which counteracts displacement of the plate ( ) on a planar support surface on which the plate rests. The vertical wall surface ( ) of the bowl has in the vicinity of the free edge of the bowl wall a surface part ( ) against which a perpendicular force can be applied with the finger of one hand. The bottom edge part ( ) is spaced from an adjacent part of the bottom edge of the rim by a distance of at least 2 cm.
