SOLUTION: This cutting board 1 is made of synthetic resin and parallel lines with regular intervals are applied almost all over the surface of the cutting board on which a foodstuff is put. Parallel lines are put on a sheet or a thin film member, and the sheet or film with parallel lines is implanted or inserted into the board made of synthetic resin, so that the parallel lines are applied on the surface of the cutting board. Otherwise, a thin colored plate made of synthetic resin may be implanted perpendicular to the surface on which a foodstuff is put in order to apply the parallel lines. Alternatively, the main body of the cutting board may be made up of plural transparent or semitransparent synthetic resin plates which are adhered to each other with parallel lines written on each plate, or a film or sheet on which parallel lines are written may be inserted between plates.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a cutting board used for cooking.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Chopping boards are indispensable for cooking, and household and commercial chopping boards are widely available. As such a cutting board, one made of wood has been used for a long time, but in recent years, one made of synthetic resin has been widely used because of its good durability and little breeding of bacteria. Although the color and shape of the synthetic resin can be freely selected, a white or white translucent material is often used because the color of the food can be accurately observed and the stain is easily recognized.

[0003]

However, the following inconvenience may be felt in a cutting board generally used. For example, when making fish fillets, or when kneaded products such as kamaboko are cut into equal sizes, there is no reference, and the cuts may be cut unevenly. Also, it is troublesome to use a ruler to prevent this. On the other hand, if you are an expert such as a cook, it is not so difficult to cut the ingredients into equal sizes,
When equally dividing a limited-sized foodstuff into a predetermined number, it may be difficult to set the size of one cut only by skill and intuition. In such a case, it is necessary to measure the size of the food using a ruler and determine the size of the cut. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cutting board that is convenient for cutting food materials into uniform sizes.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention according to claim 1 is made of a synthetic resin, and is provided with substantially equally spaced parallel lines over substantially the entire area of the food mounting surface. Providing a cutting board characterized by the fact that With such a cutting board, food can be cut at regular intervals based on parallel lines. Also, by placing the ingredients on the cutting board,
It is possible to grasp the entire size of the food material and set the size when the food material is equally divided into a predetermined number based on the interval between the parallel lines.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the cutting board according to the first aspect, the synthetic resin is transparent or translucent, and the parallel line is a film embedded below a surface on which the food is placed. , Drawn on a sheet or a thin plate. In such a cutting board, parallel lines are drawn on a film or the like embedded in the main body of the cutting board made of a transparent or translucent synthetic resin, and the parallel lines can be clearly seen from the surface of the cutting board. Also, these parallel lines do not disappear easily.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the cutting board according to the first aspect, the parallel lines are formed by embedding a colored synthetic resin plate material perpendicular to the food mounting surface. And If the cutting board is used for a long time, the surface on which the food is placed will be cut by a kitchen knife.However, in the above cutting board, parallel lines are formed by the colored plate material embedded perpendicular to the placing surface, so cutting proceeds from the surface. Even when used for a long time, sharp parallel lines are maintained.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the cutting board according to the first aspect, a main body of the cutting board is formed by bonding a plurality of transparent or translucent board members made of synthetic resin.
The parallel line is drawn on a film, a sheet, or a thin plate member attached to each of the plate members or sandwiched between the plate members. In this cutting board, it is formed by laminating a plurality of plate materials, and parallel lines are attached to each, or parallel lines are attached to films etc. sandwiched between each plate material, so long-term use Even if cutting from the surface proceeds and the parallel line disappears, the parallel line attached to the next layer can be visually recognized from the surface. In other words, since the material forming this cutting board is transparent or translucent,
Even if a part of the parallel line disappears, the parallel line attached to the layer below it can be seen from the surface, and even if cutting of the cutting board progresses, the parallel line is maintained on the entire mounting surface of the cooked food You. Also,
If the cutting board is used for a long time, the center part is likely to be cut into a concave shape, making it difficult to use in such a state, but with this cutting board, it is possible to regenerate a flat surface by peeling the top layer of multiple stacked plate materials Even if the uppermost layer is peeled in this way, the remaining layers are also provided with parallel lines, so that the parallel lines are provided as in the beginning of use.
