As shown in fig. 1 to 8, is a first embodiment according to the present invention. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a kitchen utensil supporting device 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a schematic view showing an opened state of the kitchen utensil supporting means 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1 to 8, the present invention provides a kitchen utensil supporting device 100 including a first functional part 10 and a second functional part 20, the second functional part 20 being disposed in cooperation with the first functional part 10 such that functions of the second functional part 20 and the first functional part 10 are in cooperation with each other.

Specifically, a first working space 101 is formed above the first functional part 10 for a user to perform a cooking operation, and a second working space 201 is formed above the second functional part 20, wherein the second working space 201 communicates with the first working space 101 to modulate the first working space 101.

Further, the second workspace 201 extends outward from the first workspace 101 to expand the first workspace 101 and form a compartment between the user's body and the first workspace 101. The kitchen utensil support 100 defines a cooking position, i.e., a position in front of the kitchen utensil support 100 for cooking operations. That is, when the user is in the cooking position for cooking operation, the body part of the user is blocked by the second working portion so as not to be excessively close to the first functional portion 10.

The second functional part 20 is arranged adjacent to the first functional part 10 such that the second working space 201 adjoins the first working space 101, i.e. such that the second working space 201 extends in communication with the first working space 101.

in some embodiments of the present invention, the first functional portion 10 is provided with a mounting position for mounting a kitchen utensil to support the kitchen utensil for a user to perform a cooking operation with the kitchen utensil. That is, the kitchen appliance is mounted to the kitchen appliance supporting device 100 when the kitchen appliance is used, so as to provide a user with a proper cooking condition.

The first functional portion 10 includes a first main body 11 and has a mounting cavity 102, and the first main body 11 forms the mounting cavity 102. The mounting cavity 102 is adapted to receive the kitchen utensil. That is, the mounting cavity 102 provides the mounting location for mounting the kitchen utensil to the kitchen utensil support apparatus 100. More specifically, when the kitchen appliance is received in the mounting cavity 102, the edge of the kitchen appliance is supported by the first body 11. That is, the kitchen utensil is supported by the first body 11. The installation cavity 102 communicates with the first working space 101 so that the kitchen appliance corresponds to the first working space 101 when the kitchen appliance is installed in the installation cavity 102.

Further, the mounting cavity 102 restrains the kitchen utensil so that when the kitchen utensil is mounted to the first functional part 10, the relative position of the kitchen utensil to the first functional part 10 is determined, thereby allowing the kitchen utensil to be stably mounted. That is, the mounting cavity 102 is configured to conform to the shape of the kitchen utensil.

Further, in some embodiments, the first functional part 10 has at least one connection channel 112, and the connection channel 112 connects the installation cavity 102 with the bottom-side external space, so as to facilitate the kitchen appliance, such as the kitchen range 401, the sink 404, and the like, to connect the related devices, such as the circuit, the pipeline, and the like. In other embodiments of the present invention, the mounting position may also be formed by other structural forms, such as a plane, a mounting groove, a boss, and the like, and the present invention is not limited in this respect.

It is worth mentioning that the kitchen appliance is mounted to the first functional part 10 such that the first functional part 10 provides a corresponding function of the kitchen appliance, e.g. the first functional part 10 provides a corresponding function of the hob 401 when the hob 401 is mounted to the first functional part 10. That is, the first work space 101 provides a space for a user to operate the kitchen appliance to perform a cooking work. For example, a cooking space for cooking through the cooktop 401 is provided for a user.

The second functional portion 20 includes a second main body 21 and a bearing member 22, and the bearing member 22 is movably mounted on the second main body 21. The second carrier member 22 has an inner compartment 202, and the inner compartment 202 is used for carrying at least one conditioning tool 402. The conditioning appliance 402 is illustratively, but not limited to, a knife, scoop, spoon, or condiment. That is, the inner compartment 202 is adapted to carry the conditioning appliance 402, and the second functional portion 20 has the function of carrying the conditioning appliance 402.

Further, the carrying function of the second functional part 20 is associated with the cooking function provided by the first functional part 10. In other words, the carrying function of the second functional part 20 is set according to the cooking function provided by the first functional part 10. More specifically, the kitchen appliance installed with the first functional part 10 is provided with the bearing member 22 of the second functional part 20, so that the functions of the second functional part 20 are mutually matched and fused, thereby providing a more detailed user experience.

For example, when the first function is suitable for installing the cooking utensil 401, the second function part 20 is matched with a bearing function of the cooking utensil 401, such as bearing the cooking utensil 402, so that when a user is in a cooking position corresponding to the kitchen utensil bearing device, a cooking operation is performed through the cooking utensil 401, when the cooking utensil 402 is needed, the cooking utensil 402 can be obtained from the second function part 20 at the cooking position without any additional movement, thereby enabling the user to complete cooking work in a comfortable posture, and reducing unnecessary anxiety feeling due to avoiding various unnecessary movements, thereby obtaining more pleasant cooking experience.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the carrying part 22 forms a drawer structure with the first body 11 and the carrying space so as to form an open state and a closed state. When the drawer-type structure is in the open state, the carrying member 22 is exposed to the outside, so that the user can conveniently take the conditioning tool 402 from the carrying member 22. When the drawer-type structure is in the closed state, the carrier 22 is completely received inside the inner compartment 202, and the conditioning appliance 402 is stably retained inside the carrier 22.

In this embodiment, the bearing part 22 is transversely and extendedly mounted on the second body 21, so as to provide transverse operation action for the user. That is, the user only needs to stand at the position of the cooking position and can complete the taking and placing actions of the cooking appliance 402 only by the action of moving the hand left and right.

Further, the second body 21 may be provided with a slide rail extending transversely along the inner compartment 202 for moving the carrying member 22. The carrying member 22 may also be provided with a handle for the user to operate by hand movement. When the user pulls the bearing member 22 laterally outward, the bearing member 22 moves in a direction away from the second body 21 to enter an open state, at this time, the user can conveniently obtain the conditioning appliance 402 carried in the bearing member 22, and when the user pushes the bearing member 22 inward, the bearing member 22 moves in a direction close to the second body 21 to enter a closed state, at this time, the conditioning appliance 402 is stably accommodated in the bearing member 22.

more specifically, the carrying member 22 is provided with at least one carrying groove adapted to carry the conditioning tool 402 in a limited manner. That is, the shape of the carrying groove may be set according to the shape of the conditioning appliance 402 to be carried. More specifically, the load-bearing slots are disposed within the inner load-bearing chamber 202.

In this embodiment of the invention, the second body 21 extends outwardly from the first body 11 to form a surface that conforms to the first body 11. The first functional portion 10 has a first top surface 12. The second functional portion 20 has a second top surface 212, the second top surface 212 extends outward from the first top surface 12 by a predetermined distance, the first working space 101 is above the first top surface 12, and the second working space 201 is above the second top surface 212.

That is, the second top surface 212 of the second body 21 is in the same plane as the first top surface 12 of the first body 11, thereby providing a flat extended support plane.

it is worth mentioning that in the conventional cabinet, the kitchen ware and the table top are arranged in a linear extending manner, that is, the edges are all in the same straight line, and the table top width is the same regardless of the position where the kitchen ware is arranged or the position where the kitchen ware is not arranged. For example, when cooking and frying are finished, a dinner plate is placed on a table top on the side of the cooker 401, when a user operates the dinner plate, the user needs to hold a heavy pot and rotate the pot by a large angle to place food in the pot in the dinner plate, or needs to move a certain distance to complete required operation actions, so that for some family women, especially for women without large arm strength, difficulty or unpleasant feeling of cooking can be brought. In the present invention, the top surface of the second body 21 extends outward from the top surface of the first body 11, i.e. extends toward the direction close to the user operation, so as to provide a flat bearing plane at the outer side of the first functional part 10, i.e. the side close to the user's body, thereby safely placing the articles, such as bowls and dishes, needed by the user during cooking, so that the user can complete the desired cooking action without rotating the body or moving the body in a large range, thereby providing a comfortable cooking operation experience for the user.

It is worth mentioning that in modern life, the room space is more and more valuable, and especially for the smaller space range of the kitchen, various spaces need to be configured reasonably, so as to provide more comfortable user experience for the user in the limited space range. For example, in the present invention, the second functional part 20 is protruded and extended outwardly in cooperation with the first functional part 10, instead of enlarging the conventional table as a whole, thereby making a target use of space.

Further, the second functional portion 20 has an inclined surface 211, and the inclined surface 211 is disposed at a position near a lower side of the second body 21.

Further, referring to fig. 3-8, the kitchen utensil support 100 and a support cabinet 200 cooperate to form a cooking cabinet. That is, the kitchen utensil supporting apparatus 100 is mounted to the supporting cabinet 200. The support cabinet 200 has a mounting position for mounting the kitchen utensil support device 100.

The second functional portion 20 protrudes from the supporting cabinet 200. That is, the second functional part 20 extends outwardly from the supporting cabinet 200 by a predetermined distance D.

A shielding space 203 is formed below the second functional part 20 and the supporting cabinet 200 to form a space shape adapted to the cooking position of the user.

The support cabinet 200 has a top surface 210 and a front side surface 220, and the top surface 210 of the support cabinet 200 is at the same height as the top surface of the kitchen utensil support device 100. More specifically, the shielding space 203 is formed by the second functional part 20 and the plane of the front side 220 of the supporting cabinet 200.

The second functional part 20 allows a user to maintain a certain contact distance with the first supporting cabinet 200. Specifically, when the user performs a cooking operation at a cooking position of the kitchen utensil supporting device 100, the second functional portion 20 protrudes and extends outward, so that the body of the user first abuts against or approaches the second functional portion 20, and since the feet of the user are in a forward extending direction, when the body of the user abuts against or approaches the second functional portion 20, the feet can extend to a position corresponding to the shielding space 203, that is, the user can stably stand while keeping a predetermined distance between the user and the first functional portion 10, which is more ergonomic in design, that is, a spatial shape adapted to the cooking position of the user.

Further, the inclined surface 211 extends obliquely in a direction of the supporting cabinet 200, thereby providing a user with a tendency to conveniently operate the supporting cabinet 200. It is worth mentioning that when a user performs a cooking operation, it is sometimes necessary to operate the supporting cabinet 200, such as opening the supporting cabinet 200, taking and putting articles from and into the supporting cabinet 200, and when the user stands in the cooking position, the hand needs to extend downward from above, so that a tendency of inclination is easily formed, and the inclined surface 211 is provided to accommodate the tendency of the hand of the user to incline, so that the user can more easily reach the cabinet body without greatly bending the arm, thereby providing a more comfortable operation experience.

Fig. 5 is a schematic view of a hob arrangement formed by a kitchen appliance support arrangement 100 and a hob 401 according to a first embodiment of the invention. The mounting cavity 102 of the first body 11 fits the arrangement of the hob 401 such that the hob 401 is stably supported to the first body 11. More specifically, the edge of the hob 401 is mounted on the first body 11 such that the hob 401 is supported. The lower part of the first body 11 is communicated with the outside, so that the devices such as circuits and pipelines associated with the cooker 401 can be conveniently connected. That is, the cooktop 401 is connected to an external device through the lower side of the first body 11. The cooktop 401 is exemplified but not limited to a gas cooker, a natural gas cooker.

More specifically, the first body 11 has at least one connection passage 112 thereunder, and the connection passage 112 communicates the installation cavity 102 with an external space, so that when the cooktop 401 is installed to the first body 11, external devices are connected to the cooktop 401 through the connection passage 112.

Fig. 6 and 7 are schematic views of a cooking kit formed by the kitchen appliance supporting device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention and the cooktop 401 and a range hood 300 in cooperation. Referring to fig. 6 and 7, the kitchen utensil support 100 is mounted to the support cabinet 200, the cooktop 401 is mounted to the kitchen utensil support 100, and a range hood 300 is disposed over the cooktop to form the cooking kit.

Further, the second functional part 20 at least partially protrudes from the edge of the range hood 300, so as to form a safety space. That is, the space above the second functional portion 20 is continuously extended at least partially upward without being blocked by the hood 300, so that the user does not touch the hood 300 when lowering his head.

In some embodiments of the invention, the second functional part 20 is dimensioned in relation to the dimensions of the first functional part 10, the hob 401 and/or the range hood 300. For example, the lateral extension W of the second functional part 20 is larger than the lateral extension of the hob 401, such that the second workspace 201 of the second functional part 20 covers the lateral extension of the hob 401. The longitudinal extension D of the second functional part 20 is matched to the longitudinal dimensions of the first functional part 10 and the hob 401, for example, when the hob 401 is arranged close to the inner edge of the first functional part 10, i.e. close to a resting position, such as on the side of a wall, the longitudinal extension D of the second functional part 20 is smaller, and when the hob 401 is arranged close to the outer edge of the second functional part 20, i.e. far from the side of a wall, the longitudinal extension D of the second functional part 20 is larger, so that by such an arrangement, a user has a more comfortable operating distance from the hob position.

In some embodiments of the invention, the second functional portion 20 is sized in relation to the size of equipment disposed above the kitchen utensil support 100, such as in relation to the size of the range hood 300. For example, the outer extended edge of the second functional portion 20 protrudes from the outer extended edge of the upper device. The second functional portion 20 has a lateral extension distance W greater than the lateral extension of the upper apparatus.

For example, the longitudinal extension distance D of the second functional portion 20 is in a range of 80mm to 110mm, and further, the longitudinal extension distance D of the second functional portion 20 is in a range of 80mm to 90mm, 90mm to 100mm, and 100mm to 110 mm.

For example, the lateral extension distance W of the second functional portion 20 has a size range of: 700mm to 1500mm, and further, the dimension range of the transverse extension distance W of the second functional part 20 is selected from: 700 mm-800 mm, 800 mm-900 mm, 900 mm-1000 mm, 1000 mm-1100 mm, 1100 mm-1200 mm, 1200 mm-1300 mm, 1300 mm-1400 mm, 1400 mm-1500 mm.

Fig. 8 is a schematic view of a use scenario of a cooking kit formed of the kitchen utensil support apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 8, when a user performs a cooking operation using the cooking kit, such as a cooking operation of cooking dishes, the user is adapted to stand at a position of the kitchen utensil supporting apparatus 100 corresponding to a cooking position, the middle of the user's body is close to the second functional part 20, and both feet extend to a position where the second functional part 20 and the supporting cabinet 200 form the second shielding space 203, so that both feet of the user stably stand, and the upper head is at an extended position of the second working space 201 of the second functional part 20, when the user performs cooking dishes, both hands extend into the first working space 101, the pot is operated to be stirred by the slice, and the second functional part 20 allows the user's body to have a predetermined distance from the first functional part 10, so that the user's body is not excessively close to the cooking utensil 401, i.e., is not excessively close to a fire source, the cooking material is prevented from being splashed to the body of the user during the cooking process, and the possibility of scalding is reduced, thereby enabling the operation to be safer. Further, after cooking, the dish is placed in the second functional unit 20, and the user only needs to withdraw his/her arm to place the food in the pan in the dish, thereby smoothly completing the entire cooking operation.

Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of a variant implementation of the first embodiment according to the invention. Fig. 10 is a schematic view of an open state of a first variant embodiment according to a first example of the invention.

Referring to fig. 9 to 10, in this embodiment of the present invention, the second functional portion 20 includes a second main body 21 and a bearing member 22, and the bearing member 22 is movably mounted to the second main body 21. The second carrier member 22 has an inner compartment 202, and the inner compartment 202 is used for carrying at least one conditioning tool 402. The conditioning appliance 402 is illustratively, but not limited to, a knife, scoop, spoon, or condiment. That is, the inner compartment 202 is adapted to carry the conditioning appliance 402, and the second functional portion 20 has the function of carrying the conditioning appliance 402.

For example, when the first function is suitable for installing the cooking utensil 401, the second function part 20 is matched with a carrying function of the cooking utensil 401, such as carrying seasoning, so that when a user is in a cooking position corresponding to the kitchen utensil carrying device, a cooking operation is performed through the cooking utensil 401, when seasoning is needed, seasoning can be obtained from the second function part 20 at the position of the cooking position without any additional movement, thereby enabling the user to complete cooking work in a comfortable posture, and reducing unnecessary anxiety feeling due to avoiding various unnecessary movements, thereby obtaining more pleasant cooking experience.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the bearing member 22 forms an open state and a closed state with the first body 11. When the second functional part 20 is in the open state, the inner compartment 202 of the bearing component 22 is communicated with the external space, so that the user can conveniently take and place the conditioning tool 402. When the second functional part 20 is in the closed state, the inner compartment 202 is enclosed inside the second body 21, and the conditioning appliance 402 is stably held inside the carrier member 22.

In this embodiment, the bearing member 22 is axially rotatably mounted to the second body 21 to provide a rotational operating action for a user. That is, the user only needs to stand at the position of the cooking position and can complete the taking and placing actions of the cooking utensil 402 by only one hand rotation action. More specifically, the user is provided with an axial rotation motion along the arc surface to open the second functional portion 20, for example, when the user needs to rotate the second functional portion 20 from the closed state to the open state, the hand of the user rotates downward along the arc surface by a predetermined angle along the higher position of the rotation arc surface of the second bearing member 22, that is, the second functional portion 20 is opened.

Further, the second body 21 may be further provided with at least one axial rotation member for axially rotating the bearing member 22 relative to the body. The carrying member 22 may also be provided with a handle for the user to operate by hand movement. When the user rotates the bearing member 22 axially outward, the bearing member 22 moves in a direction away from the second body 21 to enter an open state, at this time, the user can conveniently obtain the conditioning appliance 402 loaded in the bearing member 22, and when the user rotates the bearing member 22 in a direction close to the second body 21, the bearing member 22 rotates in a direction close to the second body 21 to enter a closed state, at this time, the conditioning appliance 402 is stably accommodated in the bearing member 22.

more specifically, the carrying member 22 is provided with at least one carrying groove adapted to carry the conditioning tool 402 in a limited manner. That is, the shape of the carrying groove may be set according to the shape of the conditioning appliance 402 to be carried.

In this embodiment of the invention, the second body 21 extends outwardly from the first body 11 to form a surface that conforms to the first body 11. That is, the second top surface 212 of the second body 21 is in the same plane as the first top surface 12 of the first body 11, thereby providing a flat extended support plane.

Further, the second functional portion 20 has an inclined surface 211, and the inclined surface 211 is disposed on the bearing member 22. That is, in this embodiment of the present invention, the outer side surface of the bearing member 22 extends obliquely downward.

Further, the kitchen utensil support device 100 and a support cabinet 200 cooperate to form a cooking cabinet. The second functional portion 20 protrudes from the supporting cabinet 200. A shielding space 203 is formed below the second functional part 20 and the supporting cabinet 200.

The second functional part 20 allows a user to maintain a certain contact distance with the first supporting cabinet 200. Specifically, when the user performs a cooking operation at a position corresponding to the cooking position of the kitchen utensil supporting device 100, the second functional portion 20 protrudes and extends outward, so that the body of the user first abuts against or approaches the second functional portion 20, and since the feet of the user are in a forward extending direction, when the body of the user abuts against or approaches the second functional portion 20, the feet can extend to a position corresponding to the shielding space 203, that is, the user can stably stand while keeping a predetermined distance between the user and the first functional portion 10, which is more ergonomic.

More specifically, the handle may be provided to the inclined surface 211 so that a user reaches the handle along the inclined surface 211 to operate the second functional part 20. That is, the inclined surface 211 has a guiding function for guiding the user's hand operation, so that the user can reach the handle along the direction of the inclined surface 211 without looking at the handle, thereby quickly and conveniently completing the operation process of the second functional part 20 to match the use process of the first functional part 10.

Further, the inclined surface 211 extends obliquely in a direction of the supporting cabinet 200, thereby providing a user with a tendency to conveniently operate the supporting cabinet 200. It is worth mentioning that when a user performs a cooking operation, it is sometimes necessary to operate the supporting cabinet 200, such as opening the supporting cabinet 200, taking and putting articles from and into the supporting cabinet 200, and when the user stands in the cooking position, the hand needs to extend downward from above, so that a tendency of inclination is easily formed, and the inclined surface 211 is provided to accommodate the tendency of the hand of the user to incline, so that the user can more easily reach the cabinet body without greatly bending the arm, thereby providing a more comfortable operation experience. Likewise, when the user desires to operate the second functional part 20, the user only needs to tilt the hand downward to access the inclined surface 211, more specifically, to conveniently access the handle.

Referring to fig. 11-13, in this embodiment of the present invention, the second functional portion 20 includes a second body 21 and a bearing member 22, and the bearing member 22 is movably mounted to the second body 21. The second bearing part 22 has an inner bearing chamber 202, and the inner bearing chamber 202 is used for bearing kitchen waste.

Further, the carrying function of the second functional part 20 is associated with the cooking function provided by the first functional part 10. In other words, the carrying function of the second functional part 20 is set according to the cooking function provided by the first functional part 10. More specifically, the kitchen appliance to which the first functional part 10 is mounted is provided with the bearing member 22 of the second functional part 20, so that the functions of the second functional part 20 are mutually matched and fused, thereby providing a more detailed user experience.

For example, when the first function is suitable for installing the cooking utensil 401, the second function part 20 is configured to cooperate with a carrying function of the cooking utensil 401, such as carrying kitchen waste, so that when a user is in a cooking position corresponding to the kitchen utensil carrying device, cooking operation is performed through the cooking utensil 401, when cleaning and tidying are needed, the kitchen waste around the cooking utensil 401 can be conveniently stored in the carrying part 22 at the cooking position without any additional movement, so that the user can finish cooking work in a comfortable posture, unnecessary anxiety is reduced due to avoidance of various unnecessary movements, and a more pleasant cooking experience is obtained.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the bearing member 22 forms an open state and a closed state with the first body 11. That is, the second functional portion 20 has an open state and a closed state.

In the open state, the inner load compartment 202 is exposed to the outside. That is, in the open state, the inner compartment 202 is in communication with the outside, facilitating the entry of external objects. In other words, when the second functional part 20 is in the open state, the user can conveniently transfer the kitchen waste on the top surface and the periphery of the kitchen utensil supporting device 100 to the inner compartment 202, and more particularly, can push the kitchen waste on the periphery of the kitchen utensil supporting device 100 into the inner compartment 202 by means of the rag without being left on the floor.

When the container is in the closed state, the inner supporting chamber 202 is enclosed inside the second main body 21, that is, the inner supporting chamber 202 is covered inside, so that the kitchen waste carried in the inner supporting chamber 202 is not exposed to the outside, the overall environment is kept clean, and the smell of the kitchen waste is reduced.

Further, the inner bearing member 22 is suitable for disposing a garbage bag, so that kitchen garbage entering the inner bearing chamber 202 can be stored in the garbage bag, and can be replaced and cleaned conveniently and timely.

In this embodiment, the bearing part 22 is longitudinally extendedly mounted to the second body 21, thereby providing a longitudinal operation action for a user. That is, the user only needs to stand at the position of the cooking position and can complete the operation of the second functional unit 20 by the forward and backward movement of one hand.

Further, the second body 21 may be provided with a slide rail extending longitudinally along the inner compartment 202 for allowing the carriage 22 to move longitudinally. The carrying member 22 may also be provided with a handle for the user to operate by hand movement. When the user pulls the carrying member 22 longitudinally outward, the carrying member 22 moves in a direction away from the second body 21 to enter an open state, at which time an external object can conveniently enter the inner carrying chamber 202, and when the user pushes the carrying member 22 inward, the carrying member 22 moves in a direction close to the second body 21 to enter a closed state, at which time the kitchen waste is enclosed in the carrying member 22.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the opening direction of the second inner compartment 202 is close to the second top surface 212 of the second body 21 and extends along the edge direction of the second top surface 212 of the second body 21, so that the inner compartment 202 can completely receive the kitchen waste entering the inner compartment 202 from the second body 21, thereby reducing the possibility of the kitchen waste falling on the ground.

It is worth mentioning that cleaning and hygiene are important concerns in the kitchen, during cooking, such as cooking, kitchen waste is easily generated around the cooking utensil 401, and for the conventional table top, the user can only transfer the kitchen waste on the table top to a separate garbage can by means of a cleaning tool 403 such as a rag, the cleaning is inconvenient, and the kitchen waste is easily spilled on the floor to pollute the floor, whereas in the present invention, the top surface of the second functional part 20 integrally extends outward, and the second functional part 20 is provided with the inner carrying chamber 202, and when the second functional part 20 is in the open state, the opening of the inner carrying chamber 202 is adjacent to the second top surface 212 of the second main body 21, so that the kitchen waste around the kitchen utensil supporting device 100 can be smoothly pushed into the inner carrying chamber 202 of the carrying member 22 along the second top surface 212 of the second main body 21, thereby allowing a user to conveniently keep the top surface and the periphery of the kitchen utensil supporting means 100 clean.
