A device for catching debris, the device comprising:
- a flat surface for holding debris;
- a retaining wall surrounding the flat surface and extending vertically from the flat surface, configured to restrict movement of the debris beyond portions of the flat surface;
- a rigid counter guide configured to fit against a countertop while at least a portion of the flat surface extends below the countertop, wherein the rigid counter guide allows a user to push the retaining wall and the portion of the flat surface against the countertop;
- and
- a handle attached to the flat surface at an opposite end from the rigid counter guide, wherein the handle is shaped to fit a hand of a user.
A method of manufacturing a device for catching debris from a countertop, the method comprising:
- forming a flat surface for supporting debris;
- attaching a retaining wall to at least a portion of the outer edge of the flat surface, extending perpendicular to the flat surface;
- forming a rigid counter guide at an end surface of the retaining wall, wherein at least a portion of the flat surface extends past the rigid counter guide;
- attaching a handle to the flat surface or retaining wall at an opposite end from the rigid counter guide, wherein the handle is shaped to fit a hand of a user.
A device for catching debris from a countertop, the device comprising:
- a flat surface comprising an approximately rectangular shape;
- a retaining wall extending from at least three of four sides of the flat surface and extending perpendicular to the flat surface, configured to prevent debris from moving beyond the flat surface;
- a first rigid counter guide located at an end surface of the retaining wall, wherein at least a portion of the flat surface extends past the first rigid counter guide;
- and
- a second rigid counter guide located at another end surface of the retaining wall, wherein at least a portion of the flat surface extends past the second rigid counter guide.
