ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a height adjustable cutting board and more particularly pertains to a new adjustable cutting board apparatus for eliminating the user from having to stoop over to use the cutting board.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The use of a height adjustable cutting board is known in the prior art. More specifically, a height adjustable cutting board heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
Known prior art includes U.S. Pat. No. 4,833,999; U.S. Pat. No. 5,382,009; U.S. Pat. No. 1,403,883; U.S. Pat. No. 3,926,419; U.S. Pat. No. 5,098,338; and U.S. Pat. No. Des. 357,847.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a new adjustable cutting board apparatus. The inventive device includes a carrying case having an open front, an open top, and also having side, back, and bottom walls; and also includes a drawer being movably disposed in the carrying case through the open front; and further includes an adjustable cutting board assembly including a plurality of telescoping support members being disposed in the carrying case through said open top, and also including a cutting board being disposed upon the telescoping support members; and also includes fastening members for locking the cutting board to the carrying case.
In these respects, the adjustable cutting board apparatus according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in so doing provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of eliminating the user from having to stoop over to use the cutting board.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of height adjustable cutting board now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new adjustable cutting board apparatus construction wherein the same can be utilized for eliminating the user from having to stoop over to use the cutting board.
The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new adjustable cutting board apparatus which has many of the advantages of the height adjustable cutting board mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new adjustable cutting board apparatus which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art height adjustable cutting board, either alone or in any combination thereof.
To attain this, the present invention generally comprises a carrying case having an open front, an open top, and also having side, back, and bottom walls; and also includes a drawer being movably disposed in the carrying case through the open front; and further includes an adjustable cutting board assembly including a plurality of telescoping support members being disposed in the carrying case through said open top, and also including a cutting board being disposed upon the telescoping support members; and also includes fastening members for locking the cutting board to the carrying case.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientists, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application. The abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application, which is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention in any way.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new adjustable cutting board apparatus which has many of the advantages of the height adjustable cutting board mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new adjustable cutting board apparatus which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art height adjustable cutting board, either alone or in any combination thereof.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new adjustable cutting board apparatus which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new adjustable cutting board apparatus which is of a durable and reliable construction.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new adjustable cutting board apparatus which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such adjustable cutting board apparatus economically available to the buying public.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new adjustable cutting board apparatus which provides in the apparatuses and methods of the prior art some of the advantages thereof, while simultaneously overcoming some of the disadvantages normally associated therewith.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a new adjustable cutting board apparatus for eliminating the user from having to stoop over to use the cutting board.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new adjustable cutting board apparatus which includes a carrying case having an open front, an open top, and also having side, back, and bottom walls; and also includes a drawer being movably disposed in the carrying case through the open front; and further includes an adjustable cutting board assembly including a plurality of telescoping support members being disposed in the carrying case through said open top, and also including a cutting board being disposed upon the telescoping support members; and also includes fastening members for locking the cutting board to the carrying case.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new adjustable cutting board apparatus that is easy and convenient to set up and adjust.
Even still another object of the present invention is to provide a new adjustable cutting board apparatus that can be easily carried as needed.
These together with other objects of the invention, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the invention, are pointed out with particularity in the
