  • Patent number: 5311813
    Abstract: A covered cutting board assembly for outdoor use includes a cutting board having a cutting surface, a truss structure attachable to the cutting board forming a support structure for a transparent or semi-transparent cover which encloses the truss structure and cutting board. The cover is structured with at least one opening, closeable by a flap securable thereto, to permit insertion of user's hands therethrough to access the cutting surface. The cover remains in position over the cutting surface to provide protection to food prepared and served on the cutting surface, but allows access to the cutting board as needed. The cutting board assembly also includes a waterproof top sized to fit over the cover to prevent entry of moisture. The top also may have an opening to provide access to the cutting surface for use of the cutting board in rain or snow, and the top may have insulative properties to retain heat within the disclosure.
