Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a fixed stand for placing and holding cooking implements such as radish or cheese graters and vegetable slicers. [Background technology]

[0002] When grating radish or other vegetables, one holds the grater with one hand and grabs the radish with the other, pressing it against the grater to grate it. This is a tedious task that requires both hands and relatively strong force. In response to this problem, Patent Document 1 discloses a device that fixes the grater itself to the workbench where the grating is performed, eliminating the need to fix the grater with one hand and allowing the radish or other vegetable to be grated by rubbing it against the grater with one hand. Patent Document 2 also discloses a grater that consists of a grating unit, a tray for storing the grated material, and a main body container that supports the upper edge of the tray and stores the entire tray. The bottom of the tray has first and second locking projections that tilt the grating unit, making grating easier. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] However, the device disclosed in Patent Document 1 only fixes the grater itself, requiring a fixing means for each individual grater, and cleaning and storing the graters after use is a hassle. Furthermore, the invention disclosed in Patent Document 2 focuses on the shape and inclination of the tray, but the main container that houses the entire tray has a structure similar to that of a conventional grater tray, making it insufficient for stable and easy grating with one hand. The present invention was made to solve these problems by providing a fixing stand for cooking appliances that can be used to place and hold various cooking appliances, such as graters, and can be stably fixed on a workbench, making cooking easier, especially with just one hand. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In other words, the present invention is a cooking appliance fixing stand (1) characterized by having an upper surface (2) on which the cooking appliance is placed, a holding means (3) for preventing the cooking appliance from moving on the upper surface, and a bottom surface (5) provided with a fixing means (4) for fixing the cooking appliance to a work table on which cooking work is performed.

[0006] The present invention also provides a fixing base for a cooker, in which the holding means (3) is a stop member (3a) that abuts against the side of the cooker, an anti-slip material (3b) that prevents the bottom surface of the cooker from slipping, or a groove or inclined groove (3c) that can accommodate the cooker.

[0007] The present invention also provides a fixing stand for a cooking appliance, in which the fixing means (4) is a magnet (4a) or a rubber member (4b).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] The following describes embodiments of the present invention. Note that these embodiments are merely examples shown for the convenience of explanation, and the present invention is not limited to these embodiments in any sense. [Example]

[0015] An embodiment will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] FIG. 1 shows an overall perspective view of the cooker fixing stand of the present invention with a cooker placed on it. The cooker fixing stand of the present invention is characterized by having an upper surface (2) on which the cooker (B) is placed, a holding means (3) for preventing the cooker from moving on the upper surface, and a bottom surface (5) provided with a fixing means (4) for fixing to a work table on which cooking work is performed.

[0017] Here, the term "cooking implement" refers to any tool used directly or indirectly to grate, thinly slice, or shred processed food ingredients such as vegetables, meat, fish, or cheese, including, for example, various graters, slicers, etc., as well as knife sharpeners, etc. In this way, the cooker mounting base of the present invention can be widely applied and used with most of the various cookers already in use, and this is the novel technical idea of ​​the present invention.

[0018] The top surface (2) is the surface on which the cooking device is placed, and is usually flat for ease of use, but it may be textured or divided into multiple sections front to back or left to right as needed. This top surface must be provided with a holding means (3) to prevent the cooking device from moving. The holding means (3) holds the bottom of the cooking device (B) in place, preventing it from shifting during cooking, thereby eliminating the need to hold the cooking device with one hand during cooking.

[0019] Examples of such holding means (3) include stop members (3a) that come into contact with the front, rear, left and right side surfaces of the cooking appliance, non-slip materials (3b) that prevent the bottom surface of the cooking appliance from slipping, or grooves or inclined grooves (3c) that can contain the cooking appliance, as shown in Figures 1, 7, 9 and 10.

[0020] An example of the stop member (3a) is a contact fixture such as a wall or block that is fixed to the upper surface and contacts the front or left and right side surfaces of the cooking appliance.

[0021] Examples of the anti-slip material (3b) include a rubber sheet and a sheet with adhesive rubber applied in lines.

[0022] Furthermore, a cooking utensil can also be held by forming a three-dimensional groove or an inclined groove (3c) capable of containing the cooking utensil on the upper surface as shown in Figs.

[0023] The fixed base of the cooker of this invention has a bottom portion (5) provided with a fixing means (4) for fixing to the work table on which cooking work is performed. By fixing the fixed base to the work table, the time and effort of holding it down with one hand is eliminated when working, making it easier to work with one hand, for example.

[0024] Examples of such fixing means include magnets and rubber members, which are fixed to the bottom surface (5) of the cooker's fixing stand with adhesive or metal fittings such as screws. Flat or coin-shaped permanent magnets or ferrite sheets can be used as magnets. Figure 2 shows an example in which flat magnets are attached along the left and right long sides of the bottom surface. Examples of rubber members include adhesive rubber sheets and at least one or more rubber suction cups. Among these, magnets are preferred as fixing means in terms of durability and ease of attachment and detachment from the work surface.

[0025] In the cooker fixing base of the present invention, the upper surface has an inclination angle (α), which ranges from 0 to 60 degrees, preferably from 0 to 30 degrees, and most preferably from 0 to 10 degrees. By providing such an inclination angle (α), it is possible to reduce the force required for cooking tasks such as grating ingredients or sharpening knives.

[0026] The front end of the top surface is fixed by a rotatable connecting means (6), making the inclination angle of the top surface variable. Examples of such connecting means (6) that allows the front end of the top surface to be rotated include a hinge as shown in Figure 11, or a hook or rubber sheet that engages with a round bar attached to the front end of the bottom surface to connect the front ends of the bottom surface and top surface.

[0027] The cooker fixing stand of the present invention may be provided with an angle adjustment means (7) for adjusting and fixing the bottom or upper surface of a cooker receiving container or the like to a desired inclination angle. Examples of the angle adjustment means (7) for the bottom of the cooker receiving container include a bolster member that can move back and forth on the upper surface as shown in FIG. 4, and an inclined groove on the upper surface that can accommodate a cooker, as shown in FIG. 5. Examples of the angle adjustment means (7) for adjusting and fixing the upper surface to a desired inclination angle include a height adjustment member that can move back and forth on the bottom as shown in FIGS. 7, 8, and 12 to 14. The height adjustment member shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 basically comprises an abutment member on the upper surface of the bottom, with a predetermined height and a top that abuts against the backside of the upper surface, and a support member that supports the lower part of the abutment member. The angle of the upper surface can be adjusted to a desired angle by sliding this support member back and forth on the upper surface of the bottom. To enable sliding movement on the upper surface of the bottom portion, as shown in Figures 12 to 14, a long hole for sliding movement may be provided in the bottom portion, and the support member may be moved back and forth along this long hole and fixed at a predetermined position using a butterfly bolt, a butterfly bolt receiving nut plate, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
