Claim:
1. An electronic fork for measuring eating rhythms comprising a conductive fork (F) head with its shoulder and truncated handle interacting with an electronic card ( 20 ) characterized in that on the conductive fork (F) between the neck of the fork (F) and its shoulder is overmolded an insulator ( 11 ), on the insulated fork (F) and shoulder ( 11 ) assembly is then overmolded an oblong hollow conductive handle ( 12 ), the fork (F) head is insulated from the conductive handle ( 12 ), the fork (F) head, insulated overmolding ( 11 ) and conductive overmolding ( 12 ) assembly forms an oblong tool (O) inside of which is plugged an electronic key ( 30 ) made by assembling an insulated shell ( 32 ) around an electronic card ( 20 ), the electronic card ( 20 ) comprises two contact tracks (P 1 , P 2 ) between which a capacitive sensor detects the closing of the circuit between the contact tracks (P 1 , P 2 ), two contact blades ( 31 a , 31 b ) are housed inside the shell ( 32 ) each in contact at one end with the contact track (P 1 ) for the first blade ( 31 a ), and (P 2 ) for the second blade ( 31 b ) and each exiting the shell ( 32 ) to be housed in the position in which the key is plugged into the tool, first against the truncated body of the fork (F) for the first contact blade ( 31 a ) and second against the conductive handle ( 12 ) for the second contact blade ( 31 b ).
