DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the storage of kitchen knives,
Conversely, the present invention relates to a retractable knife sharpener in which the teeth of the knife are sharpened when being taken out, so that the sharpness of the teeth is always kept good.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional knife sharpeners include, for example,
A handle 22 is attached to a sharpening stone 21 having a V-shaped sharpening portion 20, and the teeth 24 of a kitchen knife 23 are inserted into the sharpening stone 21, and while the handle 22 is fixed, the kitchen knife 23 is moved in the direction of the arrow in FIG. An article is provided for sharpening 23 teeth 24. In addition, 25 is a spine portion of the kitchen knife, and 26 is a handle of the kitchen knife 23. However, in the above-mentioned sharpener, when the sharpness of the teeth 24 becomes poor, the sharpness of the teeth gradually deteriorates with each use, and the state of the teeth cannot always be maintained in a good condition. There was a disadvantage.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and has as its object the following.
By combining the storage part of the kitchen knife and the sharpening stone, the teeth of the kitchen knife are always sharpened when stored in or removed from the storage part, so that the sharpness of the teeth is always kept good. It is an object of the present invention to provide a new retractable knife sharpener.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, a retractable kitchen knife sharpener according to the present invention comprises a base having a groove for supporting a back portion of a kitchen knife, and an elastic base. An elastic member having one end fixed to one end of the knife, and a grinding stone block having a grindstone for sharpening the teeth of the kitchen knife attached to the other end of the elastic member. By urging the stone block toward the base, the knife of the kitchen knife is sharpened when the kitchen knife inserted into the groove of the base is inserted and the kitchen knife is inserted into the groove. It is characterized by.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the retractable knife sharpener of the present invention will be described in detail below. Note that the kitchen knife used is the same as that already described, and a description thereof will be omitted. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a base which can be attached to, for example, a vertical surface 9 such as a kitchen opening, and the base 1 is provided with a groove 11 for supporting a back 25 of a kitchen knife 23.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a spring member made of metal. The two elastic members 31 and 32 are connected in a U-shape to form a U-shaped portion 33, and the elastic members 31 and 32 are bent via bent portions 34 and 35. 32, and the U-shaped part 33 is connected to the end 1 of the base 1.
2, for example, with a screw or the like. Numeral 4 denotes a grinding stone block which is fixed to the ends 36 and 37 of the elastic member 3. A grinding stone 5 for sharpening the teeth 24 of the kitchen knife 23 is attached to the grinding stone block 4. Is formed with a V-shaped groove 51 similar to that described in the section of the prior art, so that the knife 24 of the kitchen knife 23 can be sharpened. Of course, the support portion 4 may be formed integrally with the grinding stone 5. Reference numeral 6 denotes a storage portion of the kitchen knife 23. The storage portion 6 includes the groove 11 of the base 1 and the grinding stone block 4.
It is formed by the portion surrounded by.

In the present invention thus constructed, as shown in FIG. 2, when the kitchen knife 23 is not stored in the storage section 6 of the sharpener of the present invention, the stone block 4 having the stone 5 is elastic. The stone 3 is urged toward the base 1 by the elastic force of the member 3, and a part of the grinding stone block 4 enters the U-shaped portion 13 of the base 1 to be compact. When the kitchen knife 23 is stored in the storage unit 6 of the sharpener as shown in FIG.
Is sharpened toward the base 1 so that the knife 23 is stored in the storage section 6 while sharpening the blade of the kitchen knife 23.

[0008] Similarly, the teeth 24 of the knife 23 are polished when they are taken out of the housing 6 of the sharpener. Therefore, the teeth 24 of the knife 23 are sharpened each time the knife is taken in and out,
The teeth 24 of the kitchen knife 23 are always kept in good sharpness. Of course, if the sharpness is slightly poor, the above operation may be repeated several times.

The elastic member may be formed of plastic. Further, the elastic member does not necessarily need to be formed of two members, and may have a configuration in which the members 31 and 32 are integrally formed. Therefore, any structure may be used as long as the structure can urge the stone block 4 toward the base 1 side.

[0010]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the teeth of the knife are always polished when the teeth are stored in the storage part of the sharpener and when they are taken out of the storage part. Kept in state. In addition, since the storage part of the kitchen knife and the sharpening part are formed integrally, there is no need for a space for storing the sharpening stone, and it has excellent features such as being able to effectively use the space in the narrow kitchen. Have.
