However, conventional cutting boards were not versatile enough to accommodate the various sizes of food, and were not able to cut food to the desired size.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a cutting board set that can handle a variety of ingredients and allows you to easily cut ingredients to the desired size.

The cutting board set according to the present invention is
The cutting board itself,
A slide plate that is installed on the work surface of the cutting board body and can be moved on the work surface with food placed on its upper surface;
A guide plate having a guide surface that regulates the moving direction of the slide plate and is attached to the cutting board body so that the guide surface is perpendicular to the working surface of the cutting board body;
The cutting board has a cutting width adjustment member attached to the cutting board body so as to face the side of the guide plate in the direction of movement of the slide plate when cutting food material.

This invention provides a cutting board set that can handle a variety of ingredients and allows you to easily cut ingredients to the desired size.

The following describes a preferred embodiment of the cutting board set of the present invention. Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cutting board set according to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a side view showing an example of a folding mechanism for a slide plate applied to a cutting board set according to one embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 3 is a top view showing an example of a guide plate and cutting width adjustment member applied to a cutting board set according to one embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figure 1, the cutting board set 10 of this embodiment has a cutting board body 1, a slide plate 2 installed on the work surface 11 of the cutting board body 2, a guide plate 3 installed perpendicular to the work surface 11 of the cutting board body 1, and a cutting width adjustment member 4 attached to the work surface 11 of the cutting board body 1.
The cutting board body 1 has a work surface 11 for cutting ingredients. The cutting board body 1 may be made of the same material as cutting boards generally available on the market. The size of the cutting board body 1 is the same as that of cutting boards generally available on the market.

The slide plate 2 is placed on the work surface 11 of the cutting board body 1 when in use, and food can be placed on its upper surface 21 and moved across the work surface 11. In the configuration of Fig. 1, the slide plate 2 has a rectangular shape in a plan view, but is not limited to this and may also have a square shape.
As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the slide plate 2 has a variable area 22 formed from a side surface parallel to the moving direction of the slide plate 2 (arrow A in the figure) toward the inside of the slide plate 2, and this variable area 22 is preferably foldable toward the inside of the slide plate as shown in Figure 2. In other words, the slide plate 2 is preferably equipped with a folding mechanism. By folding the variable area 22 in this way, when food is placed on the upper surface 21 of the slide plate 2, a gap is created between the food and the upper surface 21 by the variable area 22, and when the food is cut with a knife, the food is left uncut by the gap. This allows special cutting methods such as finely chopping to be performed.
2, the sliding plate 2 has an inclined portion on the side (end) parallel to the moving direction (arrow A in the figure) of the sliding plate 2, where the thickness of the sliding plate 2 gradually decreases from the inside of the sliding plate 2 toward the end. This makes it easy to collect the ingredients when using the sliding plate 2 to collect cut ingredients.

The guide plate 3 has a guide surface 31 that regulates the direction of movement of the slide plate 2. The guide plate 3 is attached to the cutting board body 1 so that the guide surface 31 is perpendicular to the work surface 11 of the cutting board body 1. By moving the slide plate 2 in the direction of arrow A with the guide surface 31 abutting the upper end of the slide plate 2, the food can be moved in parallel. The guide plate 3 may be fixed to the cutting board body 1, or may be attached so as to be detachable from the cutting board body 1.

In the illustrated configuration, the guide plate 3 is provided with two support plates (33a, 33b, 34a, 34b) on each of the left and right ends of the surface 32 opposite the guide surface 31, and as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the surface 32 and the support plates (33a, 33b) and the surface 32 and the support plates (34a, 34b) form triangular prisms to support the guide surface 31. When cutting food, the side of the knife is brought into contact with the side surface 35 of the guide plate 3 or the support plate 34a, thereby suppressing the vibration of the knife and making the cutting width of the food uniform. The angle of the support plate 34a relative to the guide surface 31 can also be changed to change the angle at which the food is cut.
In this embodiment, convex portions 36 are provided on both ends of the guide surface 31 in the movement direction of the slide plate 2. When the food becomes smaller as cutting progresses, the food can be placed on the guide surface 31 between the convex portions 36 and the sides of the knife can be abutted against the convex portions 36 at both ends to cut the food evenly using the thickness of the convex portions 36.

As shown in FIG. 3, the cutting width adjustment member 4 is attached to the cutting board body 1 so as to face the side surface 35 of the guide plate 3 on the side of the movement direction (arrow A in the figure) of the slide plate 2 when cutting ingredients. The cutting width adjustment member 4 has the function of adjusting the cutting width of ingredients. In the illustrated configuration, the cutting width adjustment member 4 is in the shape of a rectangular prism. The cutting width adjustment member 4 also has a rotating shaft 41. As shown in FIG. 3, the rotating shaft 41 is formed at a position offset from the central axis of the rectangular prism, and the distance between the side surface 35 of the guide plate 3 and the cutting width adjustment member 4 (the side surface of the rectangular prism) is changed by rotating around the rotating shaft 41. In the cutting board set 1 configured in this way, after cutting ingredients with a knife, the slide plate 2 is moved in the direction of arrow A with the knife in contact with the ingredients until the knife hits the cutting width adjustment member 4. This allows the sliding plate 2 to move a constant distance, allowing for uniform thin slicing, julienne, ring slicing, etc. Also, by rotating the cutting width adjustment member 4, the distance between the side surface 35 of the guide plate 3 and the cutting width adjustment member 4 can be changed, allowing the food to be cut at different cutting widths. Also, it is preferable that the cutting width adjustment member 4 is removable from the cutting board body 1. The cutting width adjustment member 4 is not limited to a rectangular prism, and may be a polygonal prism such as a triangular prism, a pentagonal prism, or a hexagonal prism, or a cylinder.

1, the guide bar 5 is attached to the cutting board body 1 so as to face the guide surface 31 across the slide plate 2 and be perpendicular to the working surface 11 of the cutting board body 1. When cutting ingredients, the side of the knife is brought into contact with the guide bar 5 and the side surface 35 of the guide plate 3, thereby suppressing the wobble of the knife and making the cutting width more uniform.
In this embodiment, the guide rod 5 is fixed by being inserted into a mounting hole 12 provided in the cutting board body 1, as shown in Fig. 1. In the illustrated configuration, a plurality of mounting holes 12 are provided, and by changing the position where the guide rod 5 is inserted, it is possible to cut food materials of various widths.

The guide plate 3, cutting width adjustment member 4 and guide rod 5 attached to the cutting board body 1 can be removed when the cutting board set 10 is not in use, and does not take up much space when stored, making it highly storable.
The cutting board set 10 according to the present invention described above can accommodate a variety of food ingredients and allows food ingredients to be easily cut to the desired size.
