Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a chopping board usable for a long time while taking in the merit of a conventional chopping board.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a disposable cutting board in which the surface layer of the cutting board can be peeled off and a fresh surface can be used as a cutting board.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, cutting boards used in ordinary households and restaurants are mainly made of wood, but recently, cutting boards made of resin have been used. Chopping boards are indispensable for Western, Chinese, Japanese, etc. In Japan, in particular, there are many fish dishes besides vegetables and meat. It is not uncommon for households to use a degree of cutting board. When meat or fish offal is processed, it emits a peculiar smell. When cutting fish etc. together with bone,
Cutting boards tend to be severely damaged.

[0003] In general, after cooking, washing is carried out well with water, dried on the sun or disinfected with boiling water so that bacteria are not propagated. However, chopping boards do not have such a long service life, and are currently discarded after one year. Throwing away a thick cutting board is quite wasteful, but some people don't like it, and some people use wood or resin to scrape it with a plane and reuse it. However, it is difficult for a skilled person to provide flatness as new as a skilled person, and in fact, few people are reusing in this way.

[0004] For these reasons, resin cutting boards having a thickness of about 1 mm have recently been sold. This thin resin chopping board has the advantage of being light, having the convenience of being cooked and being transported to a pot upon being placed on top, and having a small total amount when discarded, conserving resources. However, when cooking, it is necessary to spread a conventional thick cutting board thereunder. Otherwise, sufficient strength cannot be obtained. Therefore, the use of such a thin resin chopping board alone is disadvantageous in that it is limited to extremely soft materials such as tofu, and there is a problem that two thick and thin chopping boards are usually required. In some cases, it may be necessary to clean both sheets, which may not save labor and resources. In addition, thin resin chopping boards are curved or move during cooking compared to conventional thick chopping boards, so there is a problem of severe wear, and using thin resin chopping boards alone, It may damage kitchen utensils (such as stainless steel sinks).

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a chopping board which can be used for a long period of time with the advantages of the conventional chopping board.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems The present inventor has found that the conventional problems can be solved by removing the surface layer and using a fresh surface as a disposable cutting board which can be used as a cutting board. Based on this finding, the present invention is based on the following findings: (1) Laminate thin materials made of wood, metal, or resin, and bond them so that their side edges or bottom surfaces can be partially or entirely peeled off by hand, Disposable cutting board characterized by discarding in order from the upper layer after soiling or wear 2 Part or all of the four corners of the rectangular cutting board shall be non-adhesive parts,
3. The disposable cutting board according to the above 1, characterized in that it has a structure in which it is peeled from the starting point. 3. The thickness of the laminated wooden, metal or resin material is 0.1 mm to 2 mm. 1 above
Or a disposable cutting board as described in 2 above.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing an outline of a disposable cutting board of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged view showing a disposable cutting board having a laminated structure. 1 is a cutting board, 2 is an adhesive part,
Reference numeral 3 denotes a non-adhered portion, and reference numeral 4 denotes a part of a laminated structure made of a thin material made of wood, metal, or resin. As a material of the cutting board, a thin material made of wood (including bamboo), metal, or resin is used. As wood materials (including bamboo), any wood can be used. This is peeled off to an appropriate thickness to form a thin plate. It can be formed in a thin plate shape from a shape close to a wood. As the metal material, a light metal material such as aluminum, an iron material (including a stainless steel material), a titanium material foil or a thin plate material can be used. As the resin material, a thin plate material such as polyethylene or polypropylene can be used. These materials are not particularly limited as long as they have resistance to heat received during cooking and appropriate strength against cutting of a kitchen knife or the like and do not contaminate foods.

[0008] A part or the whole of the side edge or bottom surface of a thin material made of wood (including bamboo), metal or resin is adhered to such an extent that it can be peeled off by hand. The resin or metal can be deposited. The adhesion of the present invention includes such welding. As the adhesive, an epoxy resin, an acrylic resin, or a urethane resin can be used. Adhesion is performed on the bottom surface or side edge so that the adhesion can be easily removed, such as a dot or a line. Sufficient strength is sufficient to prevent spontaneous peeling during cooking. These adhesives do not come out on the cutting board and interfere with cooking. Also,
It is naturally necessary that these adhesives are materials that do not contaminate foods.

It is desirable that a part or all of the four corners of the rectangular cutting board be a non-adhesive part and be peeled off from the starting point. The corners have a good grip on the hands and are convenient for peeling. However, it is not always necessary to use the four corners.
It is also possible to provide a projection on a good position in terms of design, for example, a staircase, or to provide a cutout portion so that a finger catch occurs. The thickness of the thin material made of wood, metal or resin to be laminated can be arbitrarily selected, but is 0.1 mm.
If it is ~ 2 mm, it is convenient for disposable and a moderate strength during cooking can be obtained. After soiling or wear, peel off from the top and use. After peeling, a fresh surface appears again, eliminating the need for conventional planing and careful disinfection cleaning. Also, since a part to be discarded is a part, it has a feature of saving resources. Depending on the type of dish, a dent or cut of a kitchen knife or the like may damage the underlying laminated structure. However, in this case, two sheets can be peeled off at the same time to make a fresh surface.

[0010] The whole cutting board may be a laminate of a thin material made of wood, metal or resin. However, only the substrate is made of a hard, slightly thicker material and a disposable laminate is adhered thereon. You can also. As described above, in the case where the whole is a laminate, the whole becomes lighter and thinner each time it is peeled off, resulting in a lack of stability. By doing so, this disadvantage can be eliminated. Also, if only the substrate is reused, it is optimal as resource saving. In addition, although all of the laminated structures can be made of the same material, they may be made of different materials. When different materials are used, the surface of the cutting board can be changed according to the type of dish.

[0011]

According to the present invention, a fresh surface can be obtained by peeling off a part of the chopping board instead of discarding the soiled or worn chopping as it is. There is a great advantage that careful disinfection cleaning is not required. Further, there is an excellent advantage that the strength of the cutting board can be maintained at an appropriate level and the service life can be greatly improved.
