Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a foldable cutting board support that is detachably attached to the upper edge of a water tank in a kitchen sink.

A kitchen sink generally has a flat part (the part indicated by the reference numeral 5 in FIG. 1), and this flat part usually contains tableware,
Since a rice cooker or the like is placed on the sink, there is no place to put a cutting board when cooking, especially in the case of a small sink.

Therefore, the cutting board is generally used by being placed on the corner of the upper edge of the aquarium.

However, when the cutting board is used in such a state, the cutting board becomes extremely unstable and there is a risk that the cutting board will turn over.

There are also sinks with pull-out kitchen sinks, but such sinks are expensive.

The present invention attempts to solve the above-mentioned problems by providing a foldable cutting board support that is detachably attached to the upper edge of the water tank in the sink.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically explained based on illustrated embodiments.

In the figure, the reference numeral 1 indicates a sink, and the reference numeral 2 indicates a cutting board support.

As shown in FIG. 2, the plate support 2 includes a support main body 6 having a one-shaped cross section, an adjustment member 7 having a "shaped cross section" attached to the horizontal portion 6a of the support main body 6, and a support main body 6 having a cross section of "1". It consists of a support arm 8 attached to the outside of the vertical part 6b of 6 so as to be foldable, that is, to be able to rotate 90 degrees in the horizontal direction.

The adjustment member 7 has a substantially 7-shaped shape as a whole with respect to the support main body 6, and the adjustment member 7 has a vertical portion 7b.
and the vertical portion 6b of the support main body 6 (in the direction shown by arrow A in FIG. 2).

That is, for example, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, corresponding long holes 9 and 10 are bored in the horizontal portion 6a of the support body 6 and the horizontal portion 7a of the adjustment member 7, respectively. Insert matching screws 11 into the through holes 9 and 10, and insert the screws into the adjusting member 7.
The screw 11 is screwed into a bottom plate 12 disposed on the lower surface of the horizontal portion 7a, and a projecting portion 11' is provided at the exposed lower end of the screw 11.

Alternatively, an elongated hole may be formed in the horizontal portion of either the support main body 6 or the adjustment member 7, and the screw 11 may be inserted into the elongated hole and screwed into the other horizontal portion.

As shown in FIG. 6, on the outside of the vertical portion 6b of the support main body 6, a locking portion 15 having a substantially U-shaped cross section and having a notch 14 with a stepped portion 13 at the upper part is provided protrudingly. As shown in FIG. 5, at one end of the support arm 8, a substantially cylindrical locking portion 18 having a cutout portion 17 with stepped portions 16, 16' at the bottom is protrudingly provided.
When the pin 19 is inserted into the locking portions 15 and 18 and the support arm 8 is in a position perpendicular to the support main body 6, the support arm One step 16 of the locking portion 18 of 8 is connected to the step 13 of the locking portion 15 of the support main body 6.
and the other stepped portion 16' substantially abuts the inner surface of the locking portion 15 of the support body 6.

When two or more pairs of locking portions 15.18 are provided on the upper and lower sides, each locking portion 15.18 must be arranged so as to enable vertical movement of the support arm 8, which will be described later.

Further, the support arm 8 is formed to have a single cross section, for example, so that its upper surface is located on the same plane as the upper surface of the support body 6 when it is located at a position substantially perpendicular to the support body 6.

Note that the locking portions 15 and 18 are connected to the support main body 6, as shown in the figure.
Although it is preferable that the support arm 8 be formed integrally with the support arm 8, it is also possible to form the support arm 8 separately.

To use the cutting board support 2 according to the present invention constructed as described above, proceed as follows.

That is, first, when attaching the cutting board support 2 to the water tank 3 of the sink 1, move the adjustment member 7 in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 2 according to the thickness of the upper edge 4 of the water tank 3. Also, plate support 2
is attached to the upper edge 4 of the water tank 3 as shown in FIG.

Next, the support arm 8 is rotated so that it is perpendicular to the support main body 6, and the cutting board 20 is placed on the cutting board support 2 and the upper edge 4 of the water tank 3, as shown in FIG. .

When the support arm 8 is folded, the lower end 18' (FIG. 5) of the locking part 18 is the upper end 1 of the locking part 15 of the support body 6.
5' (Fig. 6) (Fig. 4, Fig. 8A), but when the support arm 8 is rotated from this state, the support arm 8 is perpendicular to the support main body 6. Just before the lower end 18' of the locking part 18 is connected to the locking part 1 of the support body 6
5, the support arm 8 descends due to its own weight, and the lower end 18' of the locking portion 18 comes into contact with the notch 14 of the locking portion 15 of the support body 6.

At this time, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8B, one step 16 of the locking portion 18 of the support arm 8 almost comes into contact with the step 13 of the locking portion 15 of the support body 6. The other step 16
' substantially abuts the inner surface of the locking portion 15, so the support arm 8 is fixed in a state substantially perpendicular to the support body 6.

When folding the support arm 8 toward the support main body 6 from this state, it is sufficient to lift the support arm 8 slightly upward and then rotate it toward the support main body 6.

When the support arm 8 is lifted, the locking portion 18 is released upward from the locking portion 15 of the support main body 6, so the contact between the step portions 16, 16' is released, and the support arm 8 is rotated. Be able to move freely.

When the support arm 8 is rotated toward the support body 6, the lower end 18' of the locking portion 18 rests on the upper end 15' of the locking portion 15 of the support body 6 again.

In addition, when removing the cutting board support 2 from the upper edge 4 of the water tank part 3 of the sink 1, it is sufficient to loosen the screw 11 and move the adjustment member 7.

As detailed above, the board support according to the present invention has an adjustment member, so it can be attached and fixed to the upper edge of the water tank of the sink regardless of the thickness, and the size of the cutting board can be fixed. The mounting position can be easily adjusted depending on the size of the sink, and it can also be easily removed when cleaning the sink or the like.

Furthermore, since the support arm of the cutting board support is fixed at a position perpendicular to the main body of the support as described above, the cutting board placed on the upper edge of the water tank portion of the cutting board support is extremely stable.

Furthermore, since the support arm can be folded when the cutting board is not in use, it does not interfere with washing or the like in the water tank.

The fact that a cutting board can be used in the space of the sink water tank is convenient, especially in a narrow sink, and is also convenient for cooking operations.
