ABSTRACT:
A self-leveling spoon enables disabled persons and infants to feed themselves. The spoon is self-leveling due to a counter weight linked to the spoon of the bowl through the handle. The spoon provides enhanced stability because the bowl for holding food is free to move with two degrees of rotational freedom with respect to the handle of the spoon. This results in a spoon which is very forgiving of the decreased motor skills of individuals who have been injured, or are suffering the effects of certain diseases, or are merely young children struggling to master cutlery. The spoon may be partially disassembled for easy cleaning.
