• The two components are joined using a common interface that can be extended for use with other objects like a pen holder or a hairbrush holder.
• The utensil mount comes in two orientations to support both forks/spoons and knives.
• The utensil mount attaches below the hand for a natural orientation.
• The hand mount incorporates a thumb rest/guard to protect the thumb from being injured by the utensil or dragged through the food.
