Cutting board
View Patent ↗The invention relates to cutting board employable on two sides comprising a board body with two mutually opposing main sides and feet for supporting the board body, wherein a first cutting surface is located on one main side of the board body and a second cutting surface on the other main side of the board body. The feet are variably adjustable such that they alternatively support the board body in upwardly direction either with the first cutting surface or with the second cutting surface.
1. A cutting board employable on two sides comprising a board body with two mutually opposing main sides and feet for supporting the board body,
wherein a first cutting surface is located on a first main side of the board body and a second cutting surface on a second main side of the board body,
wherein the feet are variably adjustable such that they support the board body alternatively in a first position of the feet with the first cutting surface facing upward and in a second position of the feet with the second cutting surface facing upward, and with no feet protruding upward beyond the upward facing first or second cutting surface.
2. The cutting board according to claim 1 , wherein the feet are detachable from the board body and are relocatable from the first or second main side to the opposed first or second main side of the board body.
3. The cutting board according to claim 1 , wherein the cutting board has at least three feet which are arranged preferably on an edge side, more preferably at corners of the board body.
4. The cutting board according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the feet is equipped with a rubber layer.
5. The cutting board according to claim 1 , wherein the feet are attachable to the board body magnetically, by locking into place, or by screwing.
6. The cutting board according to claim 1 , wherein the feet are manufactured at least partly of magnetic material and interact with a metal piece attached within the board body, or vice versa.
7. The cutting board according to claim 1 , wherein the board body has recesses which are respectively configured as a through hole or blind hole into which respectively one of the feet is insertable.
8. The cutting board according to claim 7 , wherein the feet have a rod portion for inserting into the through hole or blind hole and a broadened head portion for supporting on a bearing face.
9. The cutting board according to claim 7 , wherein the feet are insertable into the through hole from the first or second main side of the board body and terminate with a free end of a rod portion of the feet flush with the opposed first or second main side of the board body.
10. The cutting board according to claim 9 , wherein the rod portion of the feet is equipped at the free end with a magnet and the through hole at both ends of the through hole respectively with a metal piece, or vice versa, so that the magnet and the metal piece mutually attract when the rod portion of the feet is inserted in the through hole.
11. The cutting board according to claim 9 , wherein the rod portion of the feet is equipped with a metal piece and the through hole with a magnet, which is arranged on an inside circumference wall of the through hole in a countersunk manner, or vice versa, so that the metal piece and the magnet mutually attract when the rod portion of the feet is inserted in the through hole.
12. The cutting board according to claim 9 , wherein the through hole is equipped with a plastic ring, preferably of rubber, which is arranged projectingly on an inside circumference wall of the through hole so that the rod portion of the feet is lockable into place at the plastic ring or anchorable to the same by means of frictional force when the rod portion of the feet is inserted in the through hole.
13. The cutting board according to claim 7 , wherein the board body of the cutting board has pairwise opposing blind holes on both sides, and
wherein a rod portion of the feet is equipped with a magnet at a free end and a metal piece is arranged on an intermediate wall between opposing blind holes, or vice versa, so that the metal piece and the magnet mutually attract when the rod portion of the feet is inserted in the blind hole.
14. The cutting board according to claim 1 , wherein the board body on both main sides has recesses, in which there is fastened respectively a metal piece for interacting with one of the feet, which is magnetic,
wherein the metal piece has a spherical recess and the foot a spherical projection for inserting into the spherical recess of the metal piece and a head portion for supporting a bearing face.
15. The cutting board according to claim 1 , wherein on opposing circumferential sides of the board body respectively at least one magnet is attached within the board body which can interact respectively with one of the feet, and
wherein the foot is metallic and configured U- or L-shaped with at least two legs of which one leg is set up for placing on one of the opposing circumferential sides of the board body and the other leg for placing on one of the first and second main sides of the board body, to support this main side of the board body.
16. The cutting board according to claim 3 , wherein the feet are arranged on an edge side the board body.
17. The cutting board according to claim 3 , wherein the feet are arranged at corners of the board body.
18. The cutting board according to claim 7 , wherein the recesses are arranged on an edge side of the board body.
19. The cutting board according to claim 7 , wherein the recesses are arranged at corners of the first and second main sides of the board body.
20. The cutting board according to claim 14 , wherein the spherical projection is smaller in circumference than the head portion so that on side of the head portion defining the spherical projection an annular contact face results for placing against at least one of the metal piece and the board body of the cutting board.
