Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a magnetic knife stand and more particularly pertains to a magnetic knife stand for storing knives.
  • Knifes are kept in most kitchens for preparing various dishes.
  • the existing knife racks mainly use magnets to attract the knife blades.
  • the existing knife stands comprise slits pointing substantially downwards. Knifes are inserted into the slits and stored therein for future use.
  • Knife stands can therefore be used to store the knives securely. It has the advantages of making the knives to be stored tidily and conveniently for future use. Accidents can be avoided as the cutting edges of the knives are not exposed.
  • the existing knife stands are mostly configured with the cutting edges of the knives being inserted downward.
  • the cutting edge of the knife will easily come in contact with or even rub against the bottom of the slit.
  • the cutting edge therefore becomes blunt easily and has to be sharpened frequently, which is quite troublesome.
  • the bottom of the knife stand also wears out, thereby shortening the lifespan of the knife stand.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic knife stand which is safe, reliable, convenient for use and can effectively prevent the cutting edges of the knives from becoming blunt.
  • the present invention generally comprises one or more inserting slits, and one or more magnets are disposed on the upper inner side of each inserting slit; a hole or a hollow is disposed on the upper inner side of each inserting slit, and the magnet is placed inside the hole or hollow on the upper inner side of the inserting slit.
  • the magnet is disposed inside the inserting slit near to its opening.
  • One or more magnets are disposed for each inserting slit, and each magnet can be in the shape of a bar or a granule, depending on the shape, dimension and weight of the knives to be attracted.
  • the magnet can be adhered to or embedded into the upper inner side of the inserting slit.
  • Each inserting slit can have a corresponding knife sheath; the knife sheath connects to the inserting slit removably; a projecting member or a groove is provided at one end of the knife sheath which connects to the inserting slit, and a corresponding groove or projecting member is provided in the corresponding position of the inserting slit; the knife sheath can protect the cutting edge of the inserted knife and avoid accidents from happening.
  • the shape and dimension of the knife sheath correspond to the shape and dimension of the inserted knife.
  • the magnet disposed on the upper inner side of the inserting slit has the property of attracting the knife, thereby keeping the upper surface of the knife (that is, the back of the blade) in contact with the upper inner side of the inserting slit while being inserted.
  • the cutting edge can be kept at a certain distance away from the bottom inner side of the inserting slit of the knife stand, thereby avoiding the cutting edge from rubbing against the bottom inner side.
  • the magnet can keep the cutting edge of the knife in a position of being away from and having no contact with the knife stand.
  • the present invention has the following advantages and effects:
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate an embodiment of this magnetic knife stand. It has an appearance of a human figure. Its appearance can be changed freely into any traditional knife stand or other appearance.
  • this magnetic knife stand comprises a base 1 and a supporting stand 2.
  • the supporting stand 2 is fixed firmly onto the base 1.
  • inserting slits 21 are disposed in various positions of the supporting stand 2.
  • Magnets 5 are embedded into holes or hollows disposed on the upper inner side of the inserting slits 21 near to their openings.
  • the shape of the magnets 5 is in bar form.
  • the thickness of the magnets 5 shall not affect the insertion of knives 4.
  • the inserting slits 21 have corresponding knife sheaths 3.
  • One end of the knife sheaths 3 which connect to the inserting slits 21 comprises projecting members 31.
  • the knife sheaths 3 are inserted into the supporting stand 2 by means of the projecting members 31 and connect to the inserting slits 21 correspondingly.
  • the knife sheaths 3 can be removed conveniently when required (for example, when the knife stand has to be packed).
  • the magnet 5 disposed on the upper inner side of the inserting slit 21 has the property of attracting the knife 4, thereby keeping the upper surface of the knife 4 (that is, the back of the blade) in contact with the upper inner side of the inserting slit 21 while being inserted.
  • the cutting edge of the knife 4 can be kept at a certain distance away from the bottom inner side of the inserting slit 21, thereby avoiding the cutting edge from rubbing against the bottom inner side.
  • the magnet 5 can keep the cutting edge of the knife 4 in a position of being away from and having no contact with the bottom of the knife sheath 3.
  • FIGS. 1 and 3 after the blade 41 of the knife 4 is inserted into the knife sheath 3, its handle 42 is located outside the knife sheath 3 and the supporting stand 2.
  • the above embodiment is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • the present invention is capable of other embodiments and is not limited by the above embodiment. Any other variation, decoration, substitution, combination or simplification, whether in substance or in principle, not deviated from the spirit of the present invention, is replacement or substitution of equivalent effect and falls within the scope of protection of the present invention.
