PATENT APPLICATION
TITLE
Bmbu Block
BACKGROUND
Field of the Invention:
[0001] The present invention relates to Double Sided Magnetic Knife Holder the
design is stand
to store a plurality of knives but can hold other things like scissors or any
utensil that can be
attached to magnet and is of similar size and shape of a knife. There is an
added grove which will
act as stand for phone, tablet, small book or paper so the user can carefully
withdraw the knife by
placing any electronic device on the groove and taking out the knife.
[0002] Aspects of the present invention relate more particularly to child
protection through
Acrylic Plexiglass on both sides protecting the knife and also someone
touching the sharp blade
by mistake.
Description of the Related Art:
[0003] There have been previous inventions of magnetic holders for knives or
similar objects,
but none that are equivalent to the present invention.
[0004] Different kinds of knives are kept in most kitchens for preparing
various dishes. Usually
the knives are placed together in a knife rack or a knife stand for convenient
use. The existing
knife racks mainly use magnets to attract the knife blades. However, there
exists a common
problem that the magnetic force is likely to be too strong to make it so
difficult to remove the
relatively small-sized knives from the knife racks, while it is insufficient
to attract and hold the
relatively large-sized knives securely onto the knife racks and causes
accidents easily. For the
sake of safety, many kitchens use knife stands instead of knife racks. The
existing knife stands
comprise slits pointing substantially downwards. Knifes are inserted into the
slits and stored
CA 2976530 2017-08-15
therein for future use. The slits can be of different shapes and dimensions to
match with knives
of different shapes and dimensions. Knife stands can therefore be used to
store the knives
securely. It has the advantages of making the knives to be stored tidily and
conveniently for
future use. Accidents can be avoided as the cutting edges of the knives are
not exposed. The
most common type is a U shaped elongated magnet which is placed on the bottom
of a cabinet or
on vertical surface. Gravity causes the knives to fall when accidently bumped,
creating a hazard.
[0005] The following U.S. Patents illustrate the prior art: U.S. Pat. Nos.
2,955,789; 2,338,303;
1,746,503; 2,495,866; 2,238,324; 2,924,410; 2,413,169; 7,422,180; 6,626,303.
However, to
Applicant's knowledge, none of these prior art methods have been found to be
completely
suitable to meet these needs and are cumbersome and non-durable. Hence, the
inventor of the
present invention proposes to resolve and surmount existent technical
difficulties to eliminate the
aforementioned shortcomings of prior art.
SUMMARY
[0006] In light of the disadvantages of the prior art, the following summary
is provided to
facilitate an understanding of some of the innovative features unique to the
present invention and
is not intended to be a full description. A full appreciation of the various
aspects of the invention
can be gained by taking the entire specification, claims, drawings, and
abstract as a whole.
[0007] Accordingly, it is a principal object of the invention to provide a
means for removably
retaining knives in an area where they may be conveniently retrieved. As a
first aspect of the
present invention, the invention is a Double Sided Magnetic Knife Holder
(specific for knives
but can hold other things of similar size and shapes as well i.e. scissors or
any metal object with
a property to attach to magnet.
[0008] As a second aspect of the present invention, Plexiglass on both sides
protecting the knife
and also someone touching the sharp blade by mistake. Base is specifically
created to hold the
vertical knife holder and won't move or tilt when taking a knife out or
placing a knife in the
holder.
CA 2976530 2017-08-15
[0009] As a third aspect of the present invention, Base have a grove which
will act as stand for
phone, tablet, small book or paper. The device can rest in grove and the back
can be rested on the
plexiglass.
[0010] As a fourth aspect of the present invention, Plexiglass helps to
provide a knife holder that
not only allows partitioning of knives but also allows the user to see through
quickly and
correctly identify the knives needed, as well as prevents breeding of mold or
microorganisms.
[0011] This Summary is provided merely for purposes of summarizing some
example
embodiments, so as to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the
subject matter
described herein. Accordingly, it will be appreciated that the above-described
features are merely
examples and should not be construed to narrow the scope or spirit of the
subject matter
described herein in any way. Other features, aspects, and advantages of the
subject matter
described herein will become apparent from the following Detailed Description,
Figures, and
Claims.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0012] The accompanying figures, where like reference numerals refer to
identical or
functionally similar elements throughout the separate views, together with the
detailed
description below, are incorporated in and form part of the specification, and
serve to further
illustrate embodiments of concepts that include the claimed invention, and
explain various
principles and advantages of those embodiments.
[0013] FIG. 100 shows an analytical perspective view indicating a structure of
the knife stand
with regard to the embodiment of the present invention.
[0014] FIG. 200 is a cross sectional view of the knife stand with regard to
the present invention
indicating the state such that a knife is stored in a knife holder.
[0015] FIG. 300 is a top elevation view of the first preferred embodiment of
the invention, with
the bottom view being identical.

[0019] Considering the advances the concept is Double Sided Magnetic Knife
Holder the design
is stand to store a plurality of knives but can hold other things like
scissors or any utensil that can
be attached to magnet and is of similar size and shape of a knife. There is
Acrylic Plexiglass on
both sides protecting the knife and also someone touching the sharp blade by
mistake.
[0020] Furthermore Plexiglass helps to provide a knife holder that not only

substantially top handle
portion of the knife is seen from outside. Similarly, when the knife is
inserted into the holders,
the substantially central portion of the knife is seen from outside as well.
