Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a holder for a tabletop fruit knife, etc., and its purpose is to provide a holder for a tabletop fruit knife, etc., which can safely and reliably store the knife, and which can also be easily taken out. be.

An embodiment embodying this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of a holder for a tabletop fruit knife, in which a recess with a U-shaped cross section is provided in the longitudinal direction of the upper surface 1a of the holder main body 1, as shown in FIG. The recess 2 is configured such that the blade 4 of the fruit knife 3 is accommodated with the back 4a remaining, as shown in FIG. The right half of the recess formed in the longitudinal direction is further expanded into a cross-sectional shape as shown in FIG. 6 to form a handle accommodating recess, and as shown in FIGS.
The handle 6 is accommodated with its back 6a remaining. The depth of the handle accommodating recess 5 is such that when the handle 6 is accommodated in the handle accommodating recess 5, the blade edge 4b of the blade 4 accommodated in the blade accommodating recess 2 comes into contact with the bottom surface of the blade accommodating recess 2. It is formed at a depth that is located in an upper position to prevent it.

The left side of the handle accommodating recess 5 is opened 7 downward, leaving the left end thereof, and on both sides of the handle accommodating recess 5 above the opening, extending in the longitudinal direction as shown in FIGS. 8 and 10. A locking protrusion 8 is formed. When the handle 6 of the fruit knife 3 is accommodated in the handle accommodating recess 5, the locking protrusion 8 fits into the engagement recess 9 formed on the lower front side of the handle 6 as shown in FIG. and lock the handle 6. Note that rubber feet 10 are provided on the lower surface of both left and right ends of the holder main body 1 to prevent slipping.

Next, the functions and effects of the holder configured as described above will be explained.

First, when storing the fruit knife 3 in the holder body 1, the blade 4 is stored in the blade storage recess 2, and then the handle 5 is pushed into the handle storage recess 5. At this time, both sides of the handle 5 come into contact with the locking protrusions 8 formed in the handle accommodation recess 5, and the handle accommodation recess 5 opens slightly due to its own deflection.
When the handle 5 is housed in the state shown in FIG. 9, the locking protrusion 8 is inserted into the handle 5 as shown in FIG.
The handle 5 is fitted into the engagement recess 9 formed in the holder body 1, and the handle 5 is supported and fixed to the holder body 1.

Therefore, the fruit knife 3 does not easily come off from the holder main body 1 and is safely and reliably accommodated.

Next, when taking out the fruit knife 3 from the holder main body 1, push the tip of the blade 4 downward with your finger to the position shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. Then, the handle 3 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 9 using the front lower edge of the handle 3 as a fulcrum. The locking protrusion 8 is recognized by this rotation.
The fitted state of the engagement recess 9 is released, and the handle 6 comes out to a position above the locking protrusion 8 where it can be taken out. Therefore, the fruit knife 3 can be easily taken out from the holder main body 1 with a simple operation.

Note that this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, but can also be implemented in the following manner.

(1) As shown in FIG. 1, the locking protrusion 8 is provided on the right side of the handle accommodating recess 5, and the engagement recess 9 is formed on the lower side of the rear end of the handle 6. In this way, since the fitting position is far from the fulcrum, engagement and disengagement can be performed reliably. In addition,
As shown in FIG. 11, a stopper member 11 that locks the tip of the blade 4 in the left end opening of the blade accommodation recess 2
If the holder main body 1 is replaced, the blade 4 is formed to extend around the mating position.
It is safe because the blade does not jump out of the blade accommodation recess 2.

(2) The locking protrusion 8 and the engagement recess 9 should be provided only on one side.

(3) Change the shape of the locking protrusion 8 and the engagement recess 9.

(4) Application to holders for knives other than fruit knife 3, such as knives.

As detailed above, this invention has a blade accommodating recess that accommodates the edge of the blade, which is open at the top in the longitudinal direction of the top surface of a holder such as a tabletop fruit knife, and a blade accommodation recess that is also opened at the top in the top longitudinal direction of the holder body to accommodate the handle. A handle accommodating recess is provided with a depth such that at least the lower side of the handle is accommodated and the edge of the blade does not come into contact with the bottom surface of the blade accommodating recess when the handle is accommodated, and the handle is accommodated. By providing the recess with a locking portion that removably engages the knife with the locking portion formed by protruding or recessing the handle of the knife, the knife can be safely and reliably accommodated. Furthermore, when taking out the product, it can be easily taken out with a simple operation, making it a practical holder for tabletop fruit knives and the like.
