JPH09122022A - Chopping board - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a chopping board which facilitates the ejection of water content flowing down on a cooking surface in use while being kept easily self- supportingly when not in use by providing one end of a plate body of the chopping board with a holding plate to held obliquely the cooking surface during use of the chopping board and self-supportingly the plate body when not in use of the chopping board. SOLUTION: In a chopping board consisting of a wooden plate body 1 shaped rectangularly as viewed on a plan and using the upper and lower surfaces as cooking surfaces 2a, 2b, a wooden holding plate 3 is secured fixedly to one longitudinal end of the plate body. Thus, when the chopping board is used, the cooking surfaces 2a, 2b are obliquely held and when the chopping board is not used, the plate body 1 is adapted to erect. The holding plate 3 is fixed to the longitudinal one end edge of the plate body 1 to overlap one side surface in a nearly T-shaped form by adhesives and nailing so that both side edges 4a, 4b of the holding plate 3 project outward from the cooking surfaces 2a, 2b and the cooking surfaces 2a, 2b are inclined by a predetermined angle through the holding plate 3 when the chopping board is used.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a cutting board used for cutting food such as vegetables with a kitchen knife.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A cutting board is a flat plate having a rectangular shape in plan view as is known, and is generally used by placing it on a cooking table provided beside a sink in a kitchen, and is not used. At times, it is common to store it upright in the corner of the counter.

[0003]

By the way, when the above cutting board is used by directly placing it on the cooking table, the cooking surface is placed horizontally, so that the water content of the food placed on the cooking surface is reduced. When the water flows down on the cooking surface, the water flowing down on the cooking surface may flow down on all sides of the cooking surface to stain the cooking table or, in some cases, to the kitchen floor.

Even when the cutting board is stored upright in the corner of the cooking table, the upper end of the cutting board must be leaned against a wall or the like. However, if the cutting board is leaned against the wall as described above, There is also the problem of slipping and falling.

Usually, a cutting board uses both upper and lower surfaces as cooking surfaces, but when one cooking surface is used with the cooking surface facing upward, the other cooking surface directly touches the upper surface of the cooking table, There is a problem that even the unused cooking surface is soiled.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention that the water flowing down to the cooking surface can be positively flowed in a predetermined direction during use and is not used. Sometimes it is to provide a cutting board that can be stored independently.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is a cutting board comprising a plate body 1 having cooking surfaces 2a and 2b on the upper and lower sides thereof. In addition, the cooking surfaces 2a and 2b when the cutting board is used
A holding plate 3 is provided for holding the plate body 1 in an inclined state and for holding the plate body 1 in an upright state when the cutting board is not used.

[0008]

According to the first aspect of the invention, when the cutting board is used, the holding plate 3 causes the cooking surfaces 2a and 2b of the plate 1 to be cooked.
While keeping the sloping posture, water flowing down onto the cooking surface to be used can be positively flowed in a predetermined direction, and the unused cooking surface floats from the upper surface of the table on which the cutting board is placed. Since it is held in the state, there is no problem that the cooking surface is inadvertently soiled.

Further, according to the present invention, the plate body 1 can be made to stand by itself via the holding plate 2 during storage.

[0010]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION As is known, the cutting board shown in the drawings comprises a wooden board 1 having a rectangular shape in plan view, and the upper and lower side surfaces of the board 1 are used as first and second cooking surfaces 2a and 2b. I am trying.

In the above cutting board, in the embodiment shown in the drawings, a wooden holding plate 3 separately formed is fixed to one end in the length direction of the plate body 1 in a cross shape, and the holding plate 3 serves to cut the cutting board. In use, the cooking surface 2a or 2b is held in an inclined shape, and when the cutting board is not used, the plate body 1 is held upright in the longitudinal direction.

Specifically, one side surface of the holding plate 3 having substantially the same length as the depth L of the plate 1 is superposed on one end of the plate 1 in the length direction in a substantially T-shape to form an adhesive and By fixing with nails, both side edges 4a and 4b of the holding plate 3 are projected outward from the first and second cooking surfaces 2a and 2b of the plate body 1, respectively, and the holding plate is used when the cutting board is used. Each cooking surface is tilted through 3 through a predetermined angle α (about 5 degrees in the embodiment).

Further, in the embodiment shown in the drawings, a weir 5 having a semicircular cross section extending along the length direction of the plate 1 is formed at one widthwise end of the first cooking surface 2a of the plate 1. However, the above weir 5 does not necessarily have to be formed.

When the cutting board having the above-mentioned structure is used by placing it on a cooking table B provided beside a sink tank A of a kitchen for use, as shown schematically in FIG. The end of the holding plate 3 on the side opposite to the mounting side of the holding plate 3 is located on the side of the sink tank A, and thus the holding plate 3 causes the first cooking surface 2a to face the sink tank A. Since it is kept in a downwardly inclined posture, the water flowing down on the first cooking surface 2a can be positively flown toward the inside of the sink tank A.

When the first cooking surface 2a is used as described above, the second cooking surface 2b not used for cooking is shown in FIG.
As shown in (3), the second cooking surface 2a is held in a state of being floated from the upper surface of the cooking table B and does not come into direct contact with the cooking table B. Therefore, there is no problem that the second cooking surface 2a is inadvertently soiled.

On the other hand, when storing the above cutting boards,
The plate 1 is erected with the holding plate 2 downward at the corner of the cooking table B, and thus the plate 1 is cooked via the holding plate 2 as shown in FIG. Since it stands on the table B, it is not necessary to lean against a wall or the like as in the conventional case, and it does not fall accidentally.

In the above embodiment, the first cooking surface 2 is used.
The weir 5 is formed at one end in the width direction of a.
The weir 5 may be formed at one end of the b in the width direction, or, as described above, the weir 5 may not be formed.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, in the cutting board comprising the plate 1 having the cooking surfaces 2a and 2b on both upper and lower sides thereof, when the cutting board is used at one end in the longitudinal direction of the plate 1. By holding the cooking surfaces 2a and 2b in an inclined shape and by holding the holding plate 3 that holds the plate body 1 in an upright state when the cutting board is not used, when the cutting board is used, the holding plate 3 allows Cooking surface 2a or 2b of plate 1
Since the water that flows down onto the cooking surface 2a can be positively flowed in a predetermined direction while keeping the tilted posture, the water that has flowed down onto the cooking surface as in the prior art flows down on all four sides of the cooking surface. In addition, since the cooking surface that is not used is held in a state of being floated from the upper surface of the table on which the cutting board is placed when the cutting board is used, the cooking surface is careless. There is no problem of getting dirty.

Further, according to the present invention, since the plate body 1 can be made to stand by itself via the holding plate 2 during storage,
There is no need to lean against a wall or the like as in the conventional case, and there is no problem that the plate body 2 inadvertently falls.
