Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To commonly use a chopping board as a draining shelf by penetratingly arranging a large number of small holes in a chopping board main body, and forming the left/right both ends in the length capable of being horizontally installed in the step difference part of a sink of a sink stand. SOLUTION: A chopping board body 1 is made of polyethylene, in which a large number of small holes 2 are penetratingly arranged. The left/right both ends are formed in the length capable of being horizontally installed in the step difference part of the edge of a sink of a sink stand. In this case, the chopping board body 1 is desirably divided into three areas of left/right areas and a central area, a small hole 2a group having a large diameter is penetratingly arranged in the left/right areas, a small hole 2b group having a small diameter is penetratingly arranged in the central area, and the left/right both ends are formed in the length capable of being horizontally installed in the step difference part. These small hole 2a, 2b groups are formed in a conical shape. The chopping board body 1 is placed in a state of being horizontally installed on the edge of the sink, and when using the chopping board body 1 as a draining shelf of tableware and the like, the chopping board body 1 is used by setting the draining surface 1a as the upper surface. This horizontally installing state is reversed by 180 degrees, the cooking surface side is set as the upper surface, and is offered to be used as a chopping board.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cutting board which can be used both as a cutting board for cutting foods with a kitchen knife and a draining shelf for washing dishes and keeping the dishes lying down.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional cutting board has a simple flat plate shape as shown in FIG.

[0003]

The conventional chopping board, which stands or hangs somewhere in the kitchen, takes up space and is heavy and falls down or falls.
On the other hand, in ordinary households, the cutting board and the drainboard are not related to each other and are provided as different functions. In view of the above, the present invention provides a cutting board having a function as a draining shelf by providing a large number of small holes in the cutting board body.

[0004]

In summary, the present invention provides a cutting board / drainage shelf having a number of small holes penetrating through a cutting board body, the left and right ends of which are arranged so as to be able to traverse a step portion of a sink of a sink. It is.

[0005] As a suitable example, the cutting board body is divided into three regions of a left and right region and a central region, a large hole group having a diameter of about 5 mm in the left and right regions, and a small hole group having a small diameter in the center region. It is installed with a diameter of about 2 mm. When the left and right regions are used as draining shelves, the small holes need to have a diameter of about 5 mm in order to utilize the draining function.

When the central area is used as a chopping board, the diameter is set to about 2 mm in consideration of the fact that the chopping or dropping of foodstuffs into small holes of the chopping board takes into account.

[0007] In addition, as a suitable example, by forming a large number of small holes into a mortar shape, the inside of the small holes can be easily cleaned and sanitary.

[0008] The cutting board has a length that allows the left and right ends to be laid horizontally on the step portion of the sink of the sink, so that it can be used effectively as a cutting board and a draining shelf.

[0009]

FIG. 2 and FIG. 5 show an embodiment of the present invention. The chopping board body 1 is made of polyethylene, and has many small holes (2) penetrating through the chopping board body (1), and the left and right ends thereof are steps (4) at the edge of a sink (5) of a sink (3). It is a cutting board and drainer that can be laid horizontally.

As a specific example, the cutting board body (1) is divided into three regions of a left and right region and a central region, and a group of large-diameter small holes (2a) is provided in the left and right regions, and a small-diameter small hole (2b) is provided in the central region. A group is penetrated, and the left and right ends are set to a length that can be laid on the step (4) at the edge of the sink (5) of the sink (3).

As another example, as shown in FIG. 4, the cutting board body (1) is divided into three regions, a left and right region and a central region, and the left and right regions have large mortar-shaped small holes (2a). In the center region, small-diameter mortar-shaped small holes (2b) are provided through the plate body.
A non-slip, such as a step (7) or a projection, which engages with the sink, is provided so as to have a length that allows it to traverse the step on the edge of the sink of the sink.

In FIGS. 3 and 4, (3) is a sink adjacent to the gas table, and the sink is provided with a sink (5) and a cooking table, and inside the edge of the sink, Usually, there is a step (4).

As described above, both ends of the cutting board body (1) have a length that allows the cutting board body (1) to lie on the step (4) at the edge of the sink (5). Due to the horizontal suspension, moisture is transferred from the large-diameter open end (2a ″) (2b ″) of the small hole (2) to the small-diameter open end (2a ′) (2b ′) of the small hole (2). ) Is dropped into the sink (5).

One surface of the cutting board body (1) is used as a cooking surface (1b) for cutting foods, and the other surface is used as a draining surface (1a) for placing dishes and the like, and the mortar-shaped small holes (2a) (2) are used.
b) The group expands in diameter at the draining surface (1a) and the cooking surface (1a)
In b), orientation is performed so as to reduce the diameter.

(2) shown in FIG. 4 is sanitary because the small holes (2) group can be easily cleaned because of the mortar shape.

The cutting board main body (1) is placed in a state of being laid over the edge of the sink (5), and when used as a drainage shelf for tableware, the draining surface (1a) is used with its upper surface facing upward.

The horizontal state is inverted by 180 degrees, and the cooking surface (1b) side is used as a stripping plate with the upper surface facing upward.
When this cooking surface (1b) is used as a cutting board, the moisture of the food is reduced by the small-diameter open ends (2a ') and (2b') of the small holes (2).
Small hole (2) from the large-diameter open end (2a ″) (2b ″)
Through the sink (5).

According to this embodiment, tableware and food can be drained, and the function as a cutting board and the function as a drainer can be used together.

[0019]

As described above, according to the present invention, by providing a large number of small holes on the cutting board, the cutting board and the drainer provided as separate functions can be used together. it can.
