Claims (27)

1. A work base comprising a work surface and a holding device for suspending a vessel,

wherein the work base is a cutting board having a ledge projecting from a base body, the ledge forming the holding device,

wherein the holding device has a mount for receiving the vessel, the mount being formed by a recess in the ledge and being delimited laterally and toward the work surface by the ledge, and

wherein the work base has a securing element to secure the vessel against being pulled out of the holding device.

2. The work base according to claim 1 , wherein the work base is formed in one piece.

3. The work base according to claim 1 , wherein the holding device has a holding element for engaging under a rim of the vessel.

4. The work base according to claim 1 , wherein the holding device is designed in the form of a circular segment or for holding a round vessel.

5. The work base according to claim 1 , wherein the holding device is arranged on a front face of the work base.

6. The work base according to claim 1 , wherein the work base comprises a scale, the scale being integrated into at least one of the work surface or the holding device.

7. The work base according to claim 1 , wherein the holding device has a top stop for the vessel to secure the vessel against tilting.

8. The work base according to claim 1 , wherein the securing element is wedge-shaped.

9. The work base according to claim 1 , wherein the securing element projects at least substantially centrally into the mount of the holding device.

10. The work base according to claim 1 , wherein the work surface is inclined in a region of the holding device or has a transfer slope.

11. The work base according to claim 1 , wherein the work surface has a channel and/or a groove at an edge, the channel and/or the groove being interrupted in region of the holding device.

12. A system comprising a work base and a vessel,

wherein the work base has a work surface and a holding device for suspending the vessel,

wherein the work base is a cutting board having a ledge projecting from a base body, the ledge forming the holding device,

wherein the holding device has a mount for receiving the vessel, the mount being formed by a recess in the ledge and delimited laterally and toward the work surface by the ledge, and

wherein the work base has a securing element to secure the vessel against being pulled out of the holding device.

13. The system according to claim 12 , wherein the vessel is at least substantially round in shape and is suspended or suspendable in the holding device at a rim of the vessel.

14. The system according to claim 12 , wherein the securing element engages in the vessel in a holding position of the vessel.

15. The system according to claim 12 , wherein the securing element secures the vessel in an interlocking or form-fitting manner against being pulled out of or removed and/or withdrawn from the holding device.

16. The system according to claim 12 , the securing element is at least one of being wedge-shaped or projecting into the mount of the holding device.

17. The system according to claim 12 , wherein the vessel can be detached and/or released from the holding device by tilting the vessel relative to the work base.

18. The system according to claim 12 , wherein the holding device has a holding element for engaging under a rim of the vessel.

19. The system according to claim 12 , wherein the holding device is arranged on a front face of the work base.
