Description

  The present invention relates to a knife holder that is attached to the back surface of an open / close panel of a sink provided with a sink, and more particularly, to a knife holder that improves safety by preventing removal of a knife by a child.

  As a knife holder attached to the back surface of an open / close panel of a sink equipped with a sink, for example, a technique described in Patent Document 1 is known.

  However, since the knife holder described in Patent Document 1 does not have a knife retaining structure in which a blade plate is inserted into an insertion slot, even a small child can open the open / close panel of the sink. The risk is high because the kitchen knife can be easily removed.

  Thus, for example, a technique described in Patent Document 2 has been proposed as a knife holder designed to prevent a simple knife from being pulled out by a small child.

Utility Model Registration No. 3070747 JP 2008-244843 A

  The knife holder described in Patent Document 2 has a handle of a knife when the blade plate is inserted into the insertion port into a container body having an insertion port into which the blade plate of the knife can be inserted and stored. It has a handle holding part that supports and holds the handle in an exposed state outside the body, and prevents the blade plate inserted into the insertion port from being inserted into the container or the handle holding part. Locking means capable of unlocking to lock the state is provided.

  According to the knife holder described in Patent Document 2 configured as described above, the knife can be locked in the locking state by the lock means, so that the stored knife can be used as long as the lock means is not released. Since it cannot be pulled out more, it is said that it is possible to prevent the take-out of the kitchen knife by a small child and increase the safety level.

  However, the lock state of the lock means is held by the engagement / disengagement means having a weak engagement force for detachably engaging the engagement claw provided on the lock means with the engagement hole of the handle holding part. Therefore, the locked state of the locking means can be released relatively easily and the knife can be removed from the container. For this reason, there is a problem that there is a concern about taking out the kitchen knife by a small child.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a kitchen knife holder that has improved safety by preventing the removal of a kitchen knife by a small child.
