Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a knife holder for accommodating kitchen knives (including knives) and capable of keeping the blade of the kitchen knives free of rust, maintaining an antibacterial state and keeping them clean. Things.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A kitchen knife as a knife for cooking usually has a blade portion made of steel and a handle fixed to a root portion of the blade portion.

[0003]

If the kitchen knife is not kept clean after cooking, rust will be generated on the blade and bacteria will propagate, so sufficient washing and drying are indispensable. If neglected, not only is it impossible to maintain a clean state due to rust and bacterial growth, but also the life of the kitchen knife is shortened, so care must be taken. The present invention, in the absence of rust and bacterial growth when storing such kitchen knives,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a knife holder which enables advantageous storage.

[0004]

That is, a first aspect of the present invention is that a pair of knives are provided at predetermined intervals in a holder main body formed of a container capable of accommodating the blade portion of a kitchen knife and being filled with water. Characterized in that said copper plate is provided to face each other, and said blade portion is held between said copper plates.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the holder comprises the holder main body having an open upper part, and a detachable lid for covering the opening of the holder main body. The pair of copper plates are provided on both sides of the slit into which the blade part can be inserted, and the slits on the back of the lid so that the copper plate faces the both sides of the blade part at a predetermined interval. The kitchen knife holder according to claim 1, characterized in that it is constituted.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the tool for holding the kitchen knife comprises:
3. The kitchen knife holder according to claim 1, wherein the kitchen knife is configured to hold a plurality of kitchen knives.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A holder for a kitchen knife according to the present invention has a pair of copper plates opposed to each other at predetermined intervals inside a holder main body consisting of a container capable of accommodating the blade portion of the kitchen knife and being filled with water. The structure is not particularly limited as long as it is configured to hold the blade portion between the copper plates, but preferably the bottom is open and the inside can be filled with water. It consists of a box-shaped holder and a detachable lid that covers the opening of the holder. The lid has a slit into which the blade of the knife can be inserted, and a pair of slits on both sides of the slit on the back of the lid. A copper plate having a structure in which both sides of a blade portion of a kitchen knife inserted through a slit are opposed to the plate surface of the copper plate at a predetermined interval is used.

It is preferable that the pair of copper plates be substantially equal in width and length to the blade portion of the kitchen knife to be held.

The slit and the pair of copper plates provided on the lid may be formed in the lid to hold a plurality of kitchen knives.
The kitchen knife may be provided by being appropriately changed according to the type and size of the kitchen knife.

[0010]

The knife holder according to the present invention fills the interior of the holder with water and holds the blade of the knife between a pair of copper plates provided inside the holder. by this,
A small amount of copper ions elute from the surface of the copper plate into water, and metallic copper precipitates on the blade of a kitchen knife made of iron, which has a higher ionization tendency than copper, and protects the blade, and at the same time, the antibacterial effect of metallic copper Due to the nature of the knife, the blade can be kept in an antibacterial state to prevent the growth of bacteria generated in the blade of the kitchen knife, prevent the generation of rust, and maintain a clean state at all times.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a kitchen knife holder according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view, partially cut away, showing an example of a holder for a kitchen knife of the present invention. The holder 1 has a box-shaped holder main body 2 having a predetermined depth with an open upper part. And a lid 3 that removably covers the opening of the holder main body 2.
And the lid 3 are made of plastic.

The cover 3 has three slits 4, 4 and 4
Are formed, and each slit 4 can be held in a state where the knife 6 is hung at a portion of the handle 8 fixed to the root of the blade 7 by inserting each blade 7 of the three kitchen knives 6. You can do it. On both sides of each slit 4 on the back surface of the lid 3, a pair of copper plates 5, 5 approximately equal to the width and length of the blade 7 of the suspended kitchen knife 6 are fixed. Further, both surfaces of the blade portion 7 are held facing each other at a constant interval.

The holder 1 is filled with water in the holder main body 2, the blade 7 of the knife 6 is inserted from the slit 4, and the knife 6 is held in a suspended state. The copper plates 5, 5 inside the holder main body 2 containing water are eluted from the surface by the water as trace amounts of copper ions, and the eluted copper ions are, for example, from steel materials made of iron or stainless steel. It is deposited as metallic copper on the surface of the blade 7 of the kitchen knife 6.
This is because iron has a greater ionization tendency than copper, and the difference in the ionization tendency causes the reduction reaction of copper ions by iron to proceed, and precipitates as metallic copper on the surface of the blade 7. Although the precipitation of such metallic copper is very small, it protects the blade 7 from rust and keeps the surface of the blade 7 clean by preventing various bacteria from attaching to the surface of the blade 7 due to the antibacterial property of copper. The water put in the holder 2 is
The protection of the blade part 7 can be maintained by replacing it occasionally. In addition, the holder 1 can be separated from the holder main body 2 and the lid 3, and the copper plate 5 and the lid 3 can be separated from each other, thereby facilitating cleaning.

[0014]

The kitchen knife holder of the present invention fundamentally changes the conventional idea of holding a kitchen knife in a dry state and keeps it clean, and fills the interior of the holder with water so that the holder has a main body. Holds the blade of the kitchen knife between a pair of copper plates provided inside the inside, and this causes a small amount of copper ions to elute from the surface of the copper plate, and is made of steel such as iron or stainless steel, which has a greater ionization tendency than copper. Metal copper is deposited on the blade of the kitchen knife to protect the blade, and at the same time the deposited metal copper makes the blade antimicrobial, preventing the growth of bacteria that occur in the blade of the kitchen knife and preventing the generation of rust. It is possible to keep the condition clean by always blocking.

[0015] Such a knife holder has a great value because it can be manufactured at a low cost with a simple structure and is easy to use and handle.
