  • the handle cover (10), grasped by the hand of the user is covered with an insulating material.
  • the size of the sleeve covered with insulating material is a little larger than that of a traditional handle, so that inadvertently or by handle position slightly unusual, the user does not touch the conductive part of the gripping head (30) with his fingers, and thus does not establish the contact. It is therefore clear that the only part of the canopy that touches with a conductive part a part of the body of the user is the part of the head (30) of the canopy which is useful for bringing food into the mouth.
  • the figure 2a represents an electronic data processing circuit (12) according to the invention which comprises a capacitive circuit (21), a data processing circuit (22) and a reproduction circuit (23).
  • the capacitive capacitance circuit (21) for electric potential measurement filters the characteristic potential of the human body by means of a capacitor circuit (31).
  • the capacitive capacitance circuit (21) is set to filter only the potential setting in a potential range specific to the human body. Thus, the fork in contact with food, with the table or with the ambient air will not be triggered.
  • the processing circuit (22) includes a chip (32) coupled with a stopwatch (33).
  • the processing circuit (22) processes the correlated information of acts of placing food in the mouth and their moment during the meal to give a series of pedagogical indicators of restitution that it addresses to the rendering circuit.
  • the rendering circuit (23) comprises an alarm (35) which renders the user the processed information and a transmission device (34) in real time.
  • the alarm (35) is configurable to better accompany the progress and morphology of the user.
  • the transmitting device (34) is of different nature depending on the range of cover used and can be an antenna, or a USB socket.
  • the function of the transmitting device (34) is to transmit the processed information to another remote terminal which will present a rendering ergonomics more favorable to the user than the simple cover (1).
  • the remote terminal can be a computer or a mobile phone.
  • the processing and playback circuit (22, 23) can also be integrated into a USB key that will go after the meal to be connected to a computer. The user can thus from his computer read the information on the key. The user can also set the alarms from his computer. The user can also transmit the information on a remote internet portal.
  • the figure 2b represents a particular diagram of the electronic circuit integrating the capacitive sensor according to the invention, which comprises an audible alarm (101), resistors (103i), capacitors (102), and earthing (104).
  • the figure 3 represents a complete set according to one aspect of the invention, as it can be presented to the user at the time of purchase. It includes a cover handle (10) that includes the electronic circuit, and two covers including a fork (30a) and a spoon (30b).
