Abstract

A cutting board assembly that includes a plurality of anti-slip support assemblies that maintain usability of at least one of the opposing surfaces of the cutting board assembly for cutting operations and which maintain a sanitary and cleanable construction of the cutting board assembly. Each support assembly includes first and second support bodies that are constructed to engage one another and cooperate with discrete through-holes that are formed in the body of the cutting board. Each support assembly includes an anti-slip layer that protrudes above the discrete cutting surface and sealingly cooperates with the walls of the discrete through-holes to maintain a sanitary and cleanable condition of the cutting board assembly. The body of the cutting board assembly is constructed to withstand exposure to high temperature conditions associated with use thereof.

Claims18

Dependent claims

A cutting board assembly comprising:

a cutting surface defined by a body;
and at least one support assembly that cooperates with a through-hole formed through the body, the at least one support assembly comprising:
a first base and a second base that are constructed to cooperate with one another when engaged with the through-hole formed in the body from respective opposing directions, at least one of the first base and the second base having a radially extending barb and the other of the first base and the second base having a catch that is constructed to engage the barb during axial translation of the first base relative to the second base to prevent axial translation of the first base relative to the second base in an opposing axial direction when the barb is engaged with the catch;
and
an anti-slip layer formed over at least an exposed portion of at least one of the first base and the second base and compressed into engagement with a first surface and a second surface of the body defined by the through-hole to provide a first sealed interaction and a second sealed interaction that are spaced from one another and both located inward relative to the cutting surface of the body when the first base and the second base are engaged with one another.

2 more elements

A cutting board assembly comprising:

a body that defines opposing cutting surfaces;
a plurality of openings formed through the body between the opposing cutting surfaces;
and
a support assembly engaged with at least one of the plurality of openings such that opposing ends of the support assembly extend outward beyond a respective one of the opposing cutting surfaces of the body when the support assembly is engaged with the at least one of the plurality of openings, each support assembly comprising:
a first base and a second base that snap-fittingly cooperate with one another;
an anti-slip layer formed about an end of at least one of the first base and the second base and constructed to be compressed into a wall of a respective one of the plurality of openings when the first base and the second base are engaged with one another to provide a first sealed interaction and a second sealed interaction that are spaced from one another;
and
wherein at least one of the first base and the second base includes a radially extending barb and the other of the first base and the second base includes a catch that is deflectable in a radial direction during axial translation in a first axial direction of the barb relative to the catch and is biased in an opposing radial direction into interfering engagement with the barb when the first base is engaged with the second base and prevents axial translation in an opposing axial direction therebetween.
