ABSTRACT:
A spoon includes a handle and a bowl disposed on one end of a handle. The bowl includes a curved frame and a pliable section or portion secured to the frame, the pliable section being movable between a first position for containing the food and a second position where the bowl is more shallow than when in the first position. An actuating link extends between the handle and the pliable section. The actuating link is movable by an actuator, and the movement of the actuator causes the actuating link to move the pliable section of the bowl. Food contained within the bowl can be displaced or effectively transferred from the bowl into the mouth of an infant or another person in response to the actuator and actuating link being moved.
