Safety cutting board

Abstract

To provide a cutting board which is safe not only for infants but also for everyone. [Solution] The safety cutting board 1 has a groove 4 that is gently sloping to an equal depth relative to the thickness of the cutting board along the peripheral edge of the surface of the cutting board, where two opposing sides are straight, reaching both the left and right sides of the cutting board, and has multiple small holes 5 at the bottom of the groove.The back of the cutting board also has similar grooves and small holes in positions symmetrical to those on the front.

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cutting board that is gentle on infants and on people of all ages and genders. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, when a housewife or other such person is preparing food on a cutting board and puts the knife down, the knife is usually placed on the right (if the person is right-handed), with the handle positioned near the cutting board or the front edge of the counter. Devices for temporarily placing knives are known. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2012-217835 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] If a knife is temporarily placed with the handle facing forward during cooking, it is easily reachable by infants and young children, and there is also the risk that an adult may touch the blade of the knife or drop it. It was impossible to teach infants and young children about danger. The present invention has been made to solve the above problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] A groove having a uniform depth and a gentle incline relative to the thickness of the cutting board is provided along the periphery of the front surface of the cutting board, with two opposing sides being straight, so as to reach both the left and right sides of the cutting board, a plurality of small holes are provided at the bottom of the groove, and the same groove and small holes as on the front surface are provided on the back surface of the cutting board at positions symmetrical to those on the front surface. A safety cutting board having the above configuration. Effect of the Invention

[0006] In addition to being able to safely store knives, which have traditionally been considered dangerous for infants and young children, The present invention is not only safe for infants, but also for everyone; since there is no device for temporarily placing the knife, it does not get in the way and does not impair the work space; the groove in the cutting board has a gentle slope, so the blade of the knife can be inserted and removed very smoothly; and since the knife is not placed directly to the side when it is temporarily put away, and there is no touching of the blade or handle, it is safe for everyone. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] A perspective view of the present invention DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0008] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention. (a) A cutting board (1) having a rectangular, square, or two straight sides, with a slope extending along the periphery (2) of one straight side of the cutting board (1) to both the left and right sides (3) of the cutting board (1). A groove (4) is provided. (b) The shape of the groove (4) is such that when viewed from the standing position of the user, the cutting board (1) is gently inclined toward the opposite side of the surface of the cutting board (1), the depth of the inclined groove (4) is uniform relative to the thickness of the cutting board, and the inclination is such that the angle θ of the inclined groove (4), i.e., the angle shown in Figure 3, is an obtuse angle. The groove (4) reaches both the left and right sides (3) of the cutting board (1), and a plurality of small holes (5) are provided at the bottom thereof that penetrate to the back surface for drainage. Furthermore, as described above, by shaping the groove (4) so ​​that when viewed from the standing position of the user, the opposite side of the surface of the cutting board (1), it becomes easier for the blade portion (7) of the knife to be inserted and removed, and the depth of the groove (4) is also ensured, making it safer. (c) A groove (4) is also provided on the underside of the cutting board (1) along the peripheral edge (2) of one side at a position symmetrical to the groove (4) described above, the groove (4) having an inclination extending to both the left and right side edges (3) of the cutting board (1), and the groove (4) also has a plurality of small holes (5) extending therethrough for drainage. The present invention has the structure described above. When using this device, the blade (7) of the temporarily released knife is fitted into the sloped groove (4) provided on the peripheral portion (2) of the cutting board (1). Since the groove (4) is gently sloped, the blade (7) of the knife can be smoothly inserted and removed, and the temporarily released knife (6) is not placed directly to the side, so that the blade (7) of the knife is not touched, making it safe for everyone.

Claims

[Claim 1] A cutting board having a cutting board with two opposing straight sides, a groove with an incline extending to both the left and right sides of the board along the periphery of one side of the board, the shape of the groove gently inclining toward the opposite side of the board surface when viewed from the standing position of the cutting board user, and the depth of the groove being uniform relative to the thickness of the board, the bottom of the groove having a number of small holes extending through to the back surface for drainage, the back surface of the cutting board also having a gently inclined groove in a position symmetrical to the groove, and the groove also having a number of small holes extending through for drainage.
