Description

  The present invention relates to a cutting board for cutting food.

  The cutting board may use both front and back sides, but if the cutting board is used in direct contact with the cooking table, the grounding surface will become dirty, so it is necessary to frequently wash the surface with water, which is cumbersome. . Accordingly, several cutting boards 61 as shown in FIG. 19 are proposed in which support legs 63 are attached to end portions 62a on both the left and right sides of the cutting board main body 62 and pivotable about a shaft 64 attached to the side face 62b. Yes.

  For example, in the cutting board described in Patent Document 1, a U-shaped support frame that can be rotated about the side surface of the cutting board main body as a fulcrum is attached to both ends of the cutting board main body. Is attached, and the support frame is rotated to place a non-slip member on the cooking table, whereby a space is formed between the cutting board body and the cooking table. Thereby, since it is avoided that a cutting board main body contacts a cooking stand directly, it can be used hygienically and cooking work can be performed efficiently. Here, the cutting board of Patent Document 1 can be drained by tilting the cutting board body by rotating only the left and right support frames and placing them on the cooking table.

  On the other hand, the cutting board described in Patent Document 2 is provided with a handle that rotates about an axis on both sides of the cutting board body. Similarly, the cutting board body can be lifted from the cooking table, and the cutting board can be moved to the cutting board. It is also possible to stand up at right angles to the main body, stand upright on the cooking table, and drain and dry.

  By the way, the cutting board equipped with the support legs, when the support legs are rotated and stood up, between the cutting board main body and the cooking table, such as ingredients and tableware placed on the cooking table, cooking utensils, gas stove, etc. If a space that can be accommodated by inserting the article is formed, the space where the original cutting board is located becomes empty by moving the cutting board above the article and temporarily placing it. It is possible to put cooking utensils such as ingredients before cooking or a bowl without using empty space. In addition, the support leg can be raised and the cutting board placed above the article on the cooking table can be used as a simple table. For this reason, it is convenient that the cooking table can be effectively used in terms of space, and the usability of the cutting board is improved.

  However, when the conventional cutting board as described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 is floated on the cooking table, as shown in FIG. 19 (b), the support leg 63 is rotated and brought into contact with the lower surface of the cutting board main body 62. Therefore, only a small space 65 is formed between the cutting board main body 62 and the cooking table 41, and in this case, articles placed on the cooking table 41 are placed below the cutting board main body 62. It cannot be inserted or accommodated in the space 65. Therefore, the cutting board 61 cannot be moved and installed above the article placed on the cooking table 41, and the top of the cooking table 41 cannot be used effectively in terms of space.

  In this type of cutting board, as shown in FIG. 19 (a), the support legs 63 are generally formed in a U-shape, and are attached to a pair of ends 62a on the left and right sides of the cutting board body 62, That is, the pair of upper and lower ends 63a and 63a in FIG. 19A facing each other in a U-shape are rotatably attached to the front and back end surfaces 62b of the cutting board main body 62, respectively, and are attached to the cutting board main body 62.

The support leg main body 22 is positioned on the inner side of the edge portion 12 of the cutting board body 11 in a state of being folded on the cutting board body 11, that is, the rotation range in the vertical direction is mostly from the end edge portion 12 of the cutting board body 11. On the inside. Here, “inside” refers to a portion between the pair of left and right attachment shafts 31 on the long side of the cutting board body 11 with reference to FIG.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 5A, the attachment portion 23 of the support leg 21 has two upper and lower corner portions 25 on the side facing the end surface 15 of the cutting board main body 11 when folded. It is formed in a circular arc shape centered at. The upper and lower two corners 26 on the side away from the cutting board body 11 opposite to the arcuate corners 25 in the attachment part 23 are formed with contact parts 27 that contact the end face 15 of the cutting board body 11. ing. Specifically, the contact portion 27 is formed by a right-angled corner. However, the abutment portion 27 is not necessarily formed by a right-angled corner portion. As will be described later, the abutment portion 27 prevents the support leg body 22 from rotating more than a certain amount by abutting against the end surface 15 of the cutting board body 11. Anything to do. The corner portion 25 formed in an arc shape does not necessarily have to be formed in an arc shape with the attachment shaft 31 as the center, and the corner portion 25 contacts the end surface 15 of the cutting board main body 11 when rotating. Any shape that allows smooth passage and rotation without contact is acceptable.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the attachment portion 23 of the support leg 21 is provided with a first engagement portion 28 on two surfaces that are up and down when folded. Specifically, the first engaging portion 28 is formed by a rib having a predetermined length along the left and right end portions 13 of the cutting board main body 11 in the central portions of the upper and lower surfaces. The rib which is the 1st engaging part 28 is formed with the protrusion with the fixed cross section which a cross section protrudes in an arc shape. On the other hand, a contacted portion 19 with which the first engagement portion 28 of the support leg 21 abuts is formed on the end surface 15 of the cutout 18 at the four corners of the cutting board body 11 facing the attachment portion 23 of the support leg 21. ing. Specifically, the contacted portion 19 is formed by a small ridge provided in parallel with the plane of the cutting board body 11 at an intermediate position in the height direction of the end face 15 of the cutting board body 11.
When the cutting board 1 is used only on the surface, the arcuate corner 25, the right-angled corner 26 and the first engaging portion 28 of the attachment portion 23 are arc-shaped only at the upper corner. It is sufficient if the first engagement portion 28 is formed at a right angle and only on the upper side.

  In addition, a second engagement portion 29 formed of a hemispherical protrusion is integrally provided on the side of the support leg main body 22 that faces the end face 15 of the cutting board main body 11. On the other hand, the end face 15 of the cutting board body 11 is engaged with the second engagement part 29 at a position facing the second engagement part 29 on the side surface of the support leg body 22 when the support leg 21 is folded. A hemispherical recessed engaged portion 16 is formed. However, the second engaging portion 29 of the support leg main body 22 and the engaged portion 16 of the chopping board main body 11 are not limited to these shapes, and conversely, the engaged portion 16 of the chopping board main body 11 is a protrusion. The second engaging portion 29 of the support leg 21 may be formed as a recess.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2B, the support leg 21 as a whole has a height h in the folded state that is substantially the same as the plate thickness t of the cutting board body 11, and when folded, A part does not protrude from the front and back surfaces of the cutting board body 11. As a result, when the cutting board 1 is used in a folded state, it is possible to prevent a part of the support leg 21 from protruding, which hinders cooking operations such as cutting of the food 44, and the entire cutting board 1 is leveled. It becomes one side and the appearance improves. In addition, the support leg 21 is formed so that the upper half and the lower half in the folded state are vertically symmetrical, and corresponds to the cutting board 1 that uses both front and back surfaces.

Next, holding of the standing state when the support leg 21 is turned upright on the cutting board 1 of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5 (a), in the support leg 21 in a state folded in parallel to the plane of the cutting board main body 11, when the support leg main body 22 is pushed down to the back side, that is, the lower side, the support leg main body 22 The engagement between the second engaging portion 29 and the engaged portion 16 of the cutting board main body 11 is released, and the support leg main body 22 rotates downward about the attachment shaft 31. At this time, the attachment portion 23 of the support leg 21 has two upper and lower corner portions 25 on the side facing the end surface 15 of the cutting board body 11 formed in an arc shape and does not contact the end surface 15 of the cutting board body 11. The end face 15 does not prevent the rotation.

  When reaching an angle close to 90 degrees, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the first engaging portion 28 made of the rib of the attachment portion 23 is removed from the small ridge formed on the end surface 15 of the cutting board body 11. Abutted against the contacted portion 19. Therefore, if the rotation is further continued forcibly as it is, the first engagement portion 28 of the attachment portion 23 elastically climbs over the contacted portion 19 of the cutting board main body 11 and is shown in FIG. As shown, it moves to the lower side of the contacted portion 19. Then, when the support leg body 22 reaches this angle or when it is further slightly rotated, as shown in FIG. 5 (d), the side opposite to the arcuate corner portion 25 in the attachment portion 23 is obtained. The contact portion 27 formed by the right angle corner portion 26 contacts the end surface 15 of the cutting board main body 11 at the position C, and the support leg 21 is prevented from further rotating. Note that the rotation angle at this time is about 100 degrees.

  In this way, when the support leg 21 reaches the upper limit of rotation, the first engagement portion 28 of the support leg 21 is engaged with the abutted portion 19 of the cutting board main body 11 located at the upper portion thereof, thereby returning to the original position. It is prevented that the lens rotates and returns naturally in the folding direction. On the other hand, since the support leg 21 is opened to an angle of about 100 degrees beyond the vertical line orthogonal to the upper surface 41a of the cooking table 41, when a force for cutting the food 44 from above is applied to the cutting board body 11, The support leg 21 is further rotated and opened. As described above, the contact portion 27 formed by the right-angled corner portion 26 of the attachment portion 23 contacts the end surface 15 of the cutting board main body 11 and beyond. Prevent rotation. As a result, the support leg 21 is restricted from moving in both directions in which the rotation in the return direction and the rotation of the predetermined angle or more are opposite to each other, and the support leg 21 is positioned at a position of a rotation angle of about 100 degrees slightly exceeding the vertical line. , Stably held at a certain angle.

  In order to close the support leg 21 from the open leg state shown in FIG. 5D, although not shown, the support leg main body 22 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction which is the reverse direction, and the first attachment portion 23 is moved. The engaging portion 28 may be forcibly moved over the contacted portion 19 of the cutting board body 11 and moved until it is parallel to the plane of the cutting board body 11. After the movement, the support leg 21 is folded with respect to the chopping board body 11 by engaging and engaging the second engaging part 29 formed of a hemispherical protrusion with the engaged part 16 of the hemispherical depression of the chopping board body 11. It is held in a stable state and is prevented from rotating carelessly.

  Here, the rotation angle from the time of folding is desirably in the range of about 90 to 140 degrees, and most preferably about 100 degrees. This is because if the rotation angle is smaller than 90 degrees, there is nothing to prevent the rotation, and if it exceeds 140 degrees, the accommodation height of the accommodation space 2 between the cutting board body 11 and the cooking table 41 is folded. Because it will be considerably smaller. When the angle is about 100 degrees, the accommodation height of the accommodation space 2 can be ensured to be large, and the support strength is large and the stability is high with respect to the pressing force to the cutting board body 11 from above.

  By the way, the abutted portion 19 of the cutting board body 11 is formed of small ridges, but is not limited to this, for example, as shown in FIG. It may be formed in the shape of a mountain that is slightly bent in a position, or the entire end face 15 may be planar as shown in FIG. 6 (b).

The rotation when the entire end surface 15 of the cutting board main body 11 has the above-described planar shape will be described. When the rotation angle approaches 90 degrees by rotating the support leg 21 from the closed state, the first engagement is achieved. When the joining portion 28 comes into contact with the vicinity of the middle in the height direction of the end surface 15 of the cutting board main body 11 and then forcibly continues further rotation, the first engaging portion 28 moves while rubbing on the end surface 15. Over 90 degrees. At this time, microscopically, the distance between the attachment shaft 31 and the end surface 15 changes elastically and expands to the maximum at a time of 90 degrees, and the first engagement portion 28 receives the largest clamping pressure. Invert and slightly reduce. And when it becomes an angle of about 100 degree | times, the rotation to the original closing direction is controlled. That is, even if the end surface 15 has a planar shape, the first engaging portion 28 abuts on the vicinity of the middle of the end surface 15 in the height direction, so that the first engaging portion 28 and the end surface 15 are engaged with each other. The rotation in the closing direction is restricted by the frictional force.
On the other hand, even if the entire end surface 15 has a planar shape, the contact leg 27 of the attachment part 23 abuts to prevent the support leg 21 from further rotating and spreading in the opposite direction.

Next, the usage method of the cutting board 1 is demonstrated.
The cutting board 1 is placed and used on the upper surface 41a of the cooking table 41 in a state where the support legs 21 are folded in the state of FIG. At this time, the support leg 21 is formed so that the height h in the folded state is substantially the same as the plate thickness t of the cutting board body 11, and the entire surface of the cutting board 1 is uniform without protruding partly from the plane of the cutting board body 11. Since it is in a flat state, the support leg 21 does not hinder cooking work such as cutting of the food 44.

  On the other hand, when the cutting board main body 11 is separated from the upper surface 41a of the cooking table 41 so as to be used separately on both the front and back sides of the cutting board 1 or for temporary temporary use or as a simple table. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the support leg 21 is rotated and erected. Thereby, the back surface of the cutting board main body 11 will be in the state which floated from the cooking stand 41, and since it does not touch the upper surface 41a of the cooking stand 41 directly, it reverses the rotation direction of the support leg 21 according to a foodstuff, without frequently washing with water. The cutting board 1 can be turned over and the back side can be used as the upper surface.

  When the chopping board 1 is used for temporary placement during cooking work or as a simple table, the support space 21 is rotated and erected to form the accommodation space 2 between the chopping board 1 and the cooking table 41. At this time, the support leg 21 is opened up to a rotation angle of about 100 degrees when standing, and is held in a state substantially orthogonal to the plane of the cutting board main body 11, so that the accommodation space 2 can be enlarged to the maximum height. It is possible to accommodate a large number of articles 43 having a height in the accommodation space 2.

  Here, since the support leg main body 22 is formed in a rod shape made of a quadrangular prism, even when a large number of articles 43 are placed on the cooking table 41 and the gaps between the articles 43 are small, these articles 43 can be freely avoided. And can be placed on the cooking table 41 without any particular trouble.

  FIG. 9 shows a case where the cutting board 1 is used for temporary placement during cooking work. In FIG. 9, the cutting board 1 can be temporarily transferred from the position where it was used to above the gas stove table 42 and the like. As a result of the transfer, an empty space 41b is temporarily generated at the position of the cutting board 1 that has been used, so cooking such as ingredients 44 and tableware 45 before cooking, drainer baskets, and bowls using this space. Articles 43 such as tools 46 can be placed.

  FIG. 10 shows a state where the cutting board 1 is temporarily used as a simple table. In FIG. 10, the cutting board 1 can be installed above the article 43 such as the food 44 and the tableware 45 of the cooking table 41 or the gas stove table 42. By installing, the cutting board 1 can be used as a simple table, and can be used as a small work table for performing cooking operations such as arranging the ingredients 44 and transferring the ingredients 44.

  Next, the cutting board 1 can be tilted and used for draining the food 44 such as tofu. In FIG. 11, the cutting board 1 raises only the pair of left and right support legs 21, 21, and the other pair of support legs 21, 21 is in a folded state. As a result, the cutting board 1 is inclined toward the sink 48, so that the food material 44 such as tofu placed thereon can be drained. Since the four support legs 21 rotate independently of each other, only the pair of support legs 21 and 21 on the front side and the back side are raised, and the pair of support legs 21 and 21 on the other side are folded. As shown in FIG. 12, it can also be drained from the long side of the cutting board main body 11 as shown in FIG. In the case of the inclination shown in FIG. 12, many ingredients 44 can be drained at once on the cutting board 1.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the cutting board 1 has a pair of left and right support legs 21 and 21 erected upward in a state of being directly placed on the cooking table 41, and has a flat plate shape based on these two support legs 21. The partition 32 can be set up and used. The partition 32 can be attached by, for example, providing square holes 32a penetrating vertically on the left and right sides and inserting the support leg main body 22 through the square holes 32a. In this case, after the food material 44 is cut, when the cutting board 1 is dropped from one end 13 while being tilted to the left or right and transferred to the container, the cut food material 44 on the cutting board 1 is long in the back. It can prevent spilling from the side toward the back.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 14, the cutting board 1 can be erected in the vertical direction on the cooking table 41 after use. At this time, the support leg 21 rotates one of the support legs 21 on the lower side to the front side and rotates the other support leg 21 to the back side. Thereby, the cutting board 1 can be made independent in the arbitrary positions of the cooking table 41. FIG. At this time, the support leg main body 22 may be opened at a rotation angle of about 100 degrees, but can be made to stand on its own even when it is opened obliquely at a smaller angle. Thereby, the cutting board 1 can be drained and dried, and can be stored on the cooking table 41 in a standing state. Here, since the cutting board 1 is separated from the wall surface 49 and the upper surface 41 a of the cooking table 41 except for the two lower support legs 21, the cutting board body 11 and the supporting legs 21 are separated from the wall surface 49 and the cooking table 41. Direct contact with the upper surface 41a can prevent water from accumulating in that portion and delaying drying.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the cutting board 1 can be made to stand on its own even when only one of the support legs 21 on the lower side is rotated forward. In this case, it is effective when there is a situation where the support leg 21 cannot be rotated and arranged because the space on the back side of the cutting board 1 is small in the cooking table 41.

  In the case of FIG. 14, the two upper support legs 21 are folded and closed. However, if a hook groove 22 a for hanging the article 43 is formed on the support leg main body 22, 15 with the support leg 21 rotated to the front side as shown in FIG. 15, the hanging groove 22a is used to hang articles such as the cloth width 51 and the brush 52 through the string-like body 51a or directly. You can also let them.

  The cutting board 1 is self-supported and drained and dried. However, the cutting board 1 can be drained and dried while standing diagonally against the wall surface 49, but in this case, the upper support leg 21 is rotated to turn it off. If only the front end portion 24 is brought into contact with the wall surface 49, the contact area with the wall surface 49 is reduced, and the amount of water pool at the contact portion is reduced, so that it can be dried quickly.

Next, the operation of the cutting board 1 of this embodiment will be described.
The cutting board 1 is formed in a bar shape with the support legs 21 being spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance. Therefore, even when various articles 43 are placed and the cooking table 41 is narrowed, the support legs 21 are removed. The cutting board 1 in which the support legs 21 are erected can be easily placed on the cooking table 41 by being inserted from above or from the side of the article 43 without interfering with these articles 43. That is, the conventional support leg 63 as shown in FIG. 19 is formed in a U shape in which the two end portions 63a and 63a are integrally connected by the intermediate portion 63b. 63b easily interferes with any of the articles 43 placed on the cooking table 41, and it is difficult to place the cutting board 1 above the article 43 on the cooking table 41 because the U-shaped intermediate portion 63b hinders. However, such a malfunction does not occur in the cutting board 1 of the present application.
In addition, the cutting board main body 11 has various kinds of ingredients 44 and cooking tools 46 placed on the cooking table 41 between the upper surface 41a of the cooking table 41 when the support leg 21 is erected and placed on the cooking table 41. An accommodation space 2 having a size capable of accommodating the article 43 is formed.

As a result, the cutting board 1 is temporarily moved above the article 43 placed on the cooking table 41 to form an empty space 41b for another cooking, or the article 43 of the cooking table 41 is temporarily stored. It can be installed above the gas stove 47 and used as a simple table.
In addition, the cutting board 1 can be tilted to drain the food material 44, and can be self-supported in the vertical direction during storage after use. At that time, each support leg 21 is independently rotated. Therefore, it can be used in various forms as shown in FIGS.

  Further, the attachment shaft 31 is attached to the end edge portion 12 of the chopping board main body 11, the support leg main body 22 is located on the inner side from the edge edge portion 12 of the chopping board main body 11, and the left and right end portions 13 of the chopping board main body 11. Since it does not protrude outwardly, it is difficult to be deformed in a place where it cannot be touched during handling, and it is avoided that other articles hit, and deformation and breakage are prevented. In addition, since the interval between the support legs 21 can be maximized when the support legs 21 are erected, a stable table-like assembly state can be obtained, and also when the cutting board 1 is self-supported in the vertical direction. Stabilize.

  The support leg 21 is formed in an L shape as a whole, the first engagement part 28 is provided in the attachment part 23, and the first engagement part 28 of the support leg 21 is applied to the cutting board body 11. A contacted portion 19 is formed, and two corner portions 25 on the side of the attachment portion 23 facing the end surface 15 of the cutting board main body 11 are formed in an arc shape, and a cutting board is formed on the opposite corner portion 26. A contact portion 27 that contacts the end surface 15 of the main body 11 is formed, a second engagement portion 29 is formed on the side surface of the support leg main body 22, and a second engagement of the support leg main body 22 is formed on the end surface 15 of the cutting board main body 11. The engaged portion 16 that engages with the joint portion 29 is formed. Therefore, the support legs 21 are large in rigidity and strength and hardly deform.

Further, the material may be different between the cutting board body 11 and the support legs 21. For example, the cutting board 1 may be made of synthetic resin, and the support legs 21 may be entirely or partially made of metal. If the support leg 21 is made of metal, the strength of the support leg 21 is increased, and the center of gravity of the entire cutting board 1 is lowered when the leg is opened due to an increase in weight, so that stability when used as a simple table is increased. In addition, the support leg main body 22 can be further thinned in strength by being made of metal, and even if the space between the articles 43 of the cooking table 41 is considerably narrow, the support leg main body 22 is inserted and placed between them. It becomes easy to do. When a part of the support leg 21 is made of metal, the core material can be made of metal by resin insert molding.
In addition, only the front end portion 24 of the support leg 21 may be formed of a soft resin material, a rubber material, or the like for preventing scratches or preventing slipping.

  Further, each support leg main body 22 is formed in a rod shape made of a quadrangular column, but may be formed in a columnar shape, an elliptical column shape, a hexagonal column shape, or only a part of the tip end side of the rod shape made of a square column. You may form in a column shape partially. Moreover, you may form in the shape which becomes tapered as it goes to the front-end | tip, and in this case, the support leg main body 22 can be inserted and placed between the articles | goods 43 of the cooking table 41 more easily. Furthermore, the support leg main body 22 does not necessarily have to be formed in a rod shape, and the shape is not limited.
