Abstract
Provided is a cutting board including a first board section, a second board section, and a hinge assembly pivotally coupling the first and second board sections together. The first board section has a first top surface, a first bottom surface, a first inner surface, a first outer surface, a first front surface, and a first rear surface and the second board section has a second top surface, a second bottom surface, a second inner surface, a second outer surface, a second front surface, and a second rear surface. The hinge assembly pivotally and removably couples the first and second board sections together such that the first and second inner surfaces face one another in an unfolded position and the first and second bottom surfaces face one another in a folded position.
Claims17
A cutting board comprising:
- a first board section having a first top surface, a first bottom surface, a first inner surface, a first outer surface, a first front surface, and a first rear surface;
- a second board section having a second top surface, a second bottom surface, a second inner surface, a second outer surface, a second front surface, and a second rear surface, wherein at least one of the first and second board sections includes a recessed area opening to a respective outer surface and extending downward into a respective board section from a respective top surface, an accessory opening extending through the recessed area;
- and
- a hinge assembly configured to pivotally and removably couple the first and second board sections together such that the first and second inner surfaces face one another in an unfolded position and the first and second bottom surfaces face one another in a folded position.
A cutting board comprising:
- a first board section having a top surface, a bottom surface, a curved inner surface, an outer surface, a front surface, and a rear surface, the first board section including a well in the top surface that is radially inwardly spaced from the inner surface, the front surface, and the rear surface of the board section;
- and
- a second board section having a having a top surface, a bottom surface, a curved inner surface, an outer surface, a front surface, and a rear surface, wherein the curved inner surface of the first board section and the curved inner surface of the second board section are inverted one hundred eighty degrees from one another;
- a recessed area extending downward into the first board section from the top surface of the first board section toward the bottom surface of the first board section to define a stepped wall for holding an accessory;
- and
- an accessory opening extending through the recessed area of the first board section that receives the accessory.
A cutting board assembly comprising:
- a first board section having a first top surface, a first bottom surface, a first inner surface, a first outer surface, a first front surface, and a first rear surface;
- a second board having a second top surface, a second bottom surface, a second inner surface, a second outer surface, a second front surface, and a second rear surface, wherein the first and second inner surfaces are curved and inverted one hundred eighty degrees from one another;
- a recessed area extending downward into the first board section from the first top surface toward the first bottom surface to define a stepped wall;
- and
- at least one attachment configured to be positioned in the recessed area.
