Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cutting board used in a kitchen.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been a cutting board used on a countertop.

[0003]

When a conventional cutting board is used, it is taken out of a predetermined storage place, carried to a worktop and placed on it, and after use, the cutting board is held in one hand. It was necessary to carry out cleaning by rubbing with the other hand while pouring water on the surface, and then returning to the original storage place. The present invention has been made to eliminate this disadvantage.

[0004]

A switching cutting board comprising a cutting board, supporting means for rotatably supporting the cutting board, and fixing means for fixing the supporting means to a wall.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION It is possible to switch a cutting board used for cooking in a kitchen or the like from a storage position in a substantially upright state to a use position in a state of lying substantially horizontally, and vice versa. A switching cutting board having a supporting means for supporting the above and a fixing means for fixing the supporting means to a side surface of a kitchen sink or a kitchen wall on which a worktop is installed.

[0006] A first embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 4 show a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows the shaft (2) and the support member (5), the suction cup (6) and the support member (5) in the first embodiment.
FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing an attachment relation of the first embodiment. Both sides (1)
A cutting board (3) made of resin or wood provided with a cylindrical shaft (2) at the end of the support member (5) provided with a bearing hole (4) fitted with the shaft (2) It is mounted by passing the shaft (2) through the bearing hole (4). The shaft (2) is slidably mounted in the bearing hole (4). Therefore, the cutting board (3) is rotatably supported by the support member (5). A suction cup (6) for fixing the support member (5) to a side wall of a kitchen sink or the like is attached to the support member (5) opposite to the side where the cutting board is attached. Protrusion (7) on sucker (6)
The projection (7) is supported by a support member (5).
The suction cup (6) is attached to the support member (5) by press-fitting into the suction cup mounting hole (8). Supporting member (5)
A support foot (14) for contacting the bottom wall surface of the sink is provided below the support member to restrict the downward movement of the support member (5). The back (12) of the cutting board (3) is provided with a plate foot (9) for placing the cutting board (3) on the bottom wall of the sink. FIG.
FIG. 2 is a side view when the first embodiment of the present invention is attached to a side wall (15) of a sink. The back of cutting board (3) (1
2) is further provided with a spare foot (16). Even if the shaft (2) is broken while using the cutting board (3), the cutting board (3) falls to the bottom wall (17) of the sink. Not to be done.

[0007] The first embodiment of the present invention has the above-described structure. When using the suction cup, the suction cup (6) is moved while the supporting foot (14) is in contact with the bottom wall of the sink. By pressing against the side wall, the support member (5) is fixed to the side wall. The cutting board (3) is then rotated about axis (2) in the direction of arrow (10) until the board feet (9) reach the bottom wall of the sink. Then, the food is put on the cooking surface (11) of the cutting board and cooked. When the cooking is completed, the cooking surface (11) is cleaned by, for example, tap water, and the cutting board (3) is rotated around the axis (2) by an arrow (1).
Rotate in the direction of 3) and store. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the housed state in the first embodiment of the present invention. After storage, it is desirable to set the fitting strength between the shaft (2) and the bearing hole (4) so that the cutting board (3) does not naturally rotate in the direction of the arrow (10).

FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 show a second embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment, the support member (5) is formed integrally. A suction cup (6) is attached to a plurality of suction cup attachment holes (8) provided in the back plate (18) according to the situation of the sink. In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 5, one of the suction cup mounting holes (8) has one suction cup (6) in the middle hole.
One is attached. The shaft (2) of the cutting board (3) is supported by a bearing (19) provided on the support member (5). The bearing portion (19) is formed in a U-shaped notch, and the cutting board (3) is detachable from the support member (5). The cutting board (3) is detached from the support member (5), the plate foot (9) is detached from the back surface (12) of the cutting board (3), the cutting board (3) is turned over, and the shaft (2) is again mounted on the bearing (19). When the plate feet (9) are attached to the cooking surface (11) side, the back surface (12) of the cutting board (3) can be used as a cooking surface. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a case where the cutting board (3) is removed from the support member (5). Here, although not shown in FIG. 5, the plate foot (9) has the bolt (20) inserted into the bolt hole (2).
It is attached to the cutting board (3) by screwing it into the screw hole (22) of the cutting board (3) through 1).

FIG. 7 shows another example of the structure in which the plate foot (9) is attached to the cutting board (3). In the upper part of the plate foot (9)
A projection (24) is provided to fit into the notch (23) provided in the cutting board (3). The projection (24) is fitted into the cutout groove (23) from below or above the cutting board (3). In the first and second embodiments, the support member (5) is attached to the side wall (15) by the suction cup (6), but an adhesive or an adhesive tape may be used instead of the suction cup (6). . Further, when the side wall (15) is made of a material containing a magnetic material, a magnet may be used instead of the suction cup (6). The shaft (2) is provided on the support member (5), and the bearing hole (4) or the bearing portion (19) is provided on the cutting board (3).
May be provided. Further, in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, when the cutting board (3) is switched from the storage position to the use position and vice versa from the use position to the storage position, the position of the shaft (2) moves. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the configuration may be such that the posture of the cutting board (3) is changed and the position of the shaft (2) is moved when switching.

[0010]

The cutting board used for cooking in a kitchen or the like can be switched with one touch from a storage position in a substantially vertical position to a use position in a state of lying substantially horizontally and vice versa. .
