Abstract: A device attachable to a utensil that allows an individual with limited dexterity to handle the utensil and use it according to its ordinary function. The device provides a Y-shaped handle, such as that structured by a section of antler, that attaches to a utensil and provides the geometric and structural requirements necessary for the user to pick up the utensil from a flat surface, direct the utensil near the material to be manipulated, and manipulate the utensil once positioned. The Y-shaped component is curved across its height and provides a wedge engagement structure to permit holding the device with utensil to exert a force directing the utensil into the material to be manipulated, and by a combination of forces exerted by the palm and the thumb, to grasp and manipulate the device combination in order to make appropriate use of the utensil for its intended purpose.

Abstract: A device attachable to a key that allows an individual with limited dexterity to handle the key and use it according to its ordinary function. The device provides a Y-shaped handle, such as that structured by a section of antler, that attaches to a key and provides each of the geometric and structural requirements necessary for the user to pick up the key from a flat surface, insert the key into a lock or switch aperture, and turn the key once inserted. The Y-shaped component is curved across its height dimension and provides a yoke engagement structure to permit holding the device with key to exert a force sufficient to insert the key into a lock or switch, and by a combination of forces exerted by the palm or back of the hand and the thumb, to rotate the key/device combination in order to activate the lock or switch.
