ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a heat-drying device of a knife holder, particularly to one novel in structure, practical in use and capable to heat-dry the knife blades in knife grooves to prevent germs from multiplying thereon.
A conventional knife holder, as shown in
FIG. 1
, includes a bottom base
1
, a knife base
10
and an upper cover
11
. The knife base
10
is provided with a plurality of insert grooves
100
spaced apart for the blades of knives
12
to insert therein. The water sticking on the knife blades drop down along the insert grooves
100
in a water-collecting groove
13
on the bottom base
1
after the knife blades are inserted in the insert grooves
100
. However, the conventional knife holder has no device for heat-drying and disinfecting the knife edges which are positioned in the insert grooves
100
of a knife holder for a long period of time, easily letting germs multiply therein and greatly affecting user's health.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention has been devised to offer a heat-drying device of a knife holder, practical in use and capable to heat-dry and disinfect the knife blades in the knife grooves, having safe functions in use and keeping knives hygienic.
One feature of the invention is that a heat-generating member is installed in the knife groove base of a knife holder to generate heat energy for heat-drying and disinfecting the knife blades to ensure a user's health.
Another feature of the invention is that high resisting cement resistance, electric-heating wires, electric-heating tubes or electric-heating rods can be used as the heat-generating member of the heat-drying device.
