Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a cutting board, and more particularly to a cutting board that prevents water from spilling and enables combination with a sheet-shaped cutting board.

Background Art

[0002] A cutting board is used as a base when cutting food with a kitchen knife. However, when cutting foods with a lot of moisture, water may spill from the edge of the cutting board onto the cooking counter, which can be troublesome.

[0003] As a cutting board that solves the above problem, a flange-shaped side wall that rises in an L shape in plan view is provided at the ends of two adjacent sides in one of the regions divided by the diagonal line on the surface of a rectangular plate-shaped main body. On one of these sides, this side wall is an equal-height side wall with a constant height, and on the remaining side, this side wall is an inclined side wall that becomes lower from the connection point with the above adjacent side toward the end. On the back surface of the plate-shaped main body, a side wall having the same shape as the equal-height side wall and the inclined side wall is provided in the other region of the region divided by the diagonal line on the surface in the region where there is no side wall on the surface (Patent Document 1).

[0004] Also, it is easy for those skilled in the art to think of raising the edge around the periphery of the cutting board so that water does not spill.

[0005] By the way, the cutting board that serves as a base for cutting food with a kitchen knife is easily scratched by the kitchen knife on the surface, and it was necessary to avoid this. Also, for example, when cutting meat, fish, or cooked food, the juice渗出 from them stains the cutting board, which becomes an obstacle when cutting other foods after cutting these.

[0006] To solve the aforementioned problems, cutting board sheets are known (for example, Patent Document 3). These cutting board sheets are made of resin and are provided in a rolled state. They are cut to the appropriate size and placed on the cutting board for use. This makes it possible to cut food without damaging or soiling the cutting board.

[0008] However, if the edges of the cutting board are raised to prevent liquid from spilling onto the countertop, the tip of the knife may hit the edge when cutting food, potentially hindering the process.

[0009] On the other hand, cutting board sheets have the problem of easily moving around because they are simply placed on top of the cutting board without any support.

[0010] The present invention aims to solve the aforementioned unrelated problems all at once by providing a cutting board that prevents liquid from spilling and allows for the combination of sheet-like cutting boards. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] The present invention is characterized in that the edge of the cutting board body, which has a planar shape consisting of a C-shaped arc of at least 181 degrees and a straight line connecting both ends of the arc, is raised from the arc portion of the periphery.

[0012] Furthermore, the invention described in claim 2 is characterized in that the cutting board is fitted with a sheet-like cutting board having a planar shape consisting of a C-shaped arc and a straight line connecting both ends of the arc, which can be fitted into the area surrounded by the edge that rises from the arc of the periphery of the cutting board body.

[0013] Furthermore, the invention described in claim 3 is characterized in that, in the cutting board described above, the sheet-like cutting board is made of elastomer.

[0014] Furthermore, the inventions described in claims 4 and 5 are characterized in that, in the cutting board, the height of the edge relative to the surface of the cutting board is 1.2 mm to 2.0 mm. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] According to the cutting board of the present invention, the edges of the cutting board are raised from the periphery, so when cutting ingredients with a lot of moisture, any moisture that comes out from the edge of the cutting board is prevented from spilling onto the countertop by the raised edges.

[0016] In the above case, the cutting board is made up of a planar shape consisting of a C-shaped arc of at least 181 degrees and a straight line connecting both ends of the arc. The edge is raised from the arc portion of the cutting board's periphery, and no edge is provided in the straight portion. Therefore, when cutting food with a knife, if the straight portion is facing the user, there is no risk of the knife blade hitting the edge. In addition, any moisture accumulated on the cutting board can be easily drained from the straight portion by tilting the cutting board with the straight portion facing downwards.

[0017] Furthermore, according to the invention described in claim 2, which includes a sheet-like cutting board with a planar shape consisting of a C-shaped arc that can be fitted into the area surrounded by an edge raised from the arc-shaped area of ​​the periphery of the cutting board body, and a straight line connecting both ends of the arc, the sheet-like cutting board is not in danger of shifting away from the cutting board body due to the raised edge, and in this case, even if there is a straight section on the cutting board body without an edge, the remaining C-shaped arc section is 181 degrees or more, so the sheet-like cutting board will not slip out from the straight section.

[0018] Further, according to the invention described in claim 3 in which the sheet-shaped cutting board is made of an elastomer, since the sheet-shaped cutting board has flexibility, the operation of fitting and removing it to and from the cutting board body becomes easy. In addition, by attaching and detaching the sheet-shaped cutting board with a soft hitting edge of the kitchen knife to and from the cutting board body, it becomes possible to properly use a single cutting board in the state of the cutting board body as it is and in the state where the sheet-shaped cutting board is fitted according to the food ingredients.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0020] Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of the cutting board of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings. Reference numeral 1 in the figure is a cutting board body molded from plastic. This cutting board body 1 has a planar shape composed of at least a C-shaped arc 2 of 181 degrees or more and a straight line 3 connecting both ends of the arc, and here, an example having a 260-degree arc is illustrated. An edge 4 is raised from the arc portion 2 at the periphery of the cutting board body. Here, the height of the edge 4 with respect to the board surface 1A of the cutting board is assumed to be from 1.2 mm to 2.0 mm, but it is needless to say that the height is not limited to this. Note that there is no edge at the straight line 3 portion.

[0021] Next, reference numeral 10 in the figure is a sheet-shaped cutting board. This sheet-shaped cutting board 10 has a planar shape composed of a C-shaped arc that can be fitted into a portion surrounded by the edge 4 raised from the arc portions 2 at the periphery of the cutting board body 1 and a straight line connecting both ends of the arc.

[0022] The sheet-like cutting board 10 is preferably made of a material that is highly flexible and elastic, and in this case, it is made of elastomer.

[0023] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the aforementioned sheet-like cutting board 10 is used by fitting it into the area surrounded by the edges 4 that rise from two arcs on the periphery of the cutting board body 1. [Explanation of symbols]
