Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a cutting board to self-support in an erected state that the edge faces of a cutting board are faced up and down in order to cleanly hold the cutting board which is likely to be contaminated by unwanted bacteria, and to solve the problem of the housing place of a stand. SOLUTION: This cutting board is constituted of a board body B equipped with a through-hole 5 and a stand member S having an outer peripheral shape fittable into the through-hole, and the edge face of the stand member is provided with a notched groove 1 into which the cutting board can be inserted.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cutting board, and more particularly to a cutting board having a stand for keeping it in an upright state.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to keep a cutting board that is susceptible to various germs clean, it is necessary to perform sufficient draining and drying before storing it in a storage place after use. for that reason,
It is recommended that the cutting board be placed for a while with the end surface facing up and down.

In this case, generally, a cutting board is leaned against a wall surface or the like, but it is liable to fall due to a small external force or it may interfere with other articles. It was desired to have a device to make it stand upright.

[0004]

In the above case, those skilled in the art can easily think of using a stand such as a dish stand to erect the cutting board. However, in this case, when the cutting board was stored after draining, the stand also had to be stored separately, which was troublesome.

Therefore, a cutting board with a stand in which a rotating leg piece is provided in a cutting board body has been conventionally proposed (for example, JP-A-57-84022 and JP-A-5-27703).
6, JP-A-9-215615, Utility Model Registration No. 3056
No. 786). According to these inventions, the problem of storage of the stand is solved, but since there is a gap part which is always in sliding contact with the rotating leg piece and the cutting board main body at the rotating position, this gap part is prevented so that germs do not propagate. There was a problem that a difficult work was required to sufficiently wash.

[0006]

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the prior art, and has a cutting board body having a through window and a stand having an outer peripheral shape that can be fitted into the through window. The stand member is characterized in that a notch-shaped groove into which a cutting board body can be inserted is provided on an end surface of the stand member.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A specific embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 to 6 are views showing a first embodiment of a cutting board according to the present invention. The greatest feature of this invention is that the stand member is detachable from the cutting board body. FIG. 5 is a view showing the cutting board body B. This cutting board body B is made of plastic here, and a through window 5 is provided near the peripheral side. The through window serves to hold the stand member S by being inserted thereinto and functions as a clue when holding the cutting board, and is provided near the peripheral side of the cutting board body B. Here, the through window 5 is formed in a rectangular shape with rounded corners, and is arranged parallel to the short side of the cutting board body B. Needless to say, the corner of the through window 5 may be left as it is.

1 and 2 are views showing details of the stand member S. As shown in FIG. The stand member S is made of plastic, and the through window 5 of the cutting board body B is used.
It has a rectangular outer peripheral shape with rounded corners so that it can be fitted into the cutting board. There is.

Reference numeral 1 in the drawing is a notch-shaped groove provided so as to communicate with the thickness direction of the stand member S. This groove 1
The cutting board body B is configured to be insertable. Here, the cutting board body B has a thickness equal to that of the cutting board body B, so that the cutting board body can be fitted therein. Of course, it may be done.

Although the stand member S has a constant thickness as described above, in this embodiment, the front plate 2A and the back plate 2B are not formed into a block shape but are formed from the front plate 2A and the end plate 2C. It is configured as a hollow shape connected by. The end face plate 2C is provided only on the groove 1 side and is open on the opposite side. By doing so, the material can be saved as compared with the case of the block-shaped configuration, and the whole is given flexibility, so that the cutting board body B can be easily inserted into and taken out from the through window 5. You can get the effect. In addition, the end face plate 2C is provided only on one side and the other side is opened to facilitate die-cutting at the time of molding, and also to prevent water that causes various bacteria from staying inside.

The cutting board having the above construction is normally stored and used by inserting the stand member S into the through window 5 of the cutting board body B so as to integrate them (see FIG. 6). When draining the used cutting board, the stand member S is removed from the through window 5 and the end surface of the cutting board body B is inserted into the groove 1 so that the end surface of the cutting board body and the stand member positioned orthogonally thereto. Let the cutting board body stand on its own (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

FIGS. 7 to 12 show a second cutting board of the present invention.
It is a figure which shows an Example. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the shape of the through window 5 of the cutting board body B and the outer peripheral shape of the stand member S corresponding thereto are different. That is, in this embodiment, both of them have a triangular shape with rounded corners. Incidentally, it goes without saying that the corner angle may be left as it is. The through window 5 is provided near the corner of the cutting board body B. In the case of this embodiment, since the stand member is held at the corner of the cutting board, there is an advantage that the working surface of the cutting board can be widely used. The rest of the configuration of this embodiment is common to that of the first embodiment, so its explanation is omitted.

[0013]

According to the present invention having the above structure,
Since the cutting board can be self-standing in a standing state by the stand member, it is possible to effectively drain and dry the cutting board after use, and a hygienic cutting board is realized. Further, since the stand member is fitted and held in the through window of the cutting board main body when not in use, it is stored together with the cutting board, and it is not necessary to separately store it.
