Publication number: 20240206655Abstract: A knife holder includes magnets attached to the knife holder in a row in one direction, and the knife holder magnetically adheres to a top portion of a spine of a knife when a long side of the knife is oriented horizontally so that the knife holder suspends the entire knife in air. A support body supports the knife holder at a predetermined height position. A separating/holding mechanism is attached to the knife holder and configured to hold the knife in air while separating the top portion of the spine of the knife from the magnetic adhesion surface at a position below the magnetic adhesion surface. Since the spine top portion of the knife is held by magnetic adhesion, the knife can be temporarily placed and taken out by an easy insertion operation requiring little force.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2024Publication date: June 27, 2024Inventor: Yasuhiro TSUTSUMI
