Abstract

A cutting assist device including a first cutting board. The first cutting board has a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The cutting board also includes a cutting channel open to the first side of the first cutting board. The cutting channel allows a portion of a cutting device to be accommodated in the channel while a material placed on the first side is cut by the cutting device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cutting assist device, comprising:
at least a first cutting board, the first cutting board having a first side and a second side opposite the first side;
a cutting channel open to the first side of the first cutting board, the cutting channel configured to allow a portion of a cutting device to be accommodated in the channel while a material placed on the first side is cut by the cutting device;
wherein the first cutting board includes a first end and a second end opposite the first end and wherein there is at least one receiving hole formed at the second end; and
further comprising a second cutting board, the second cutting board including at least one pin protruding from an end of the second cutting board, the at least one pin configured to engage the at least one receiving hole to attach the second cutting board to the first cutting board.

2. The cutting assist device of claim 1 , further comprising a retention strip on the first side of the first cutting board.

3. The cutting assist device of claim 2 , wherein the retention strip comprises a magnetic strip.

4. The cutting assist device of claim 2 , further comprising at least one holding member, the holding member being attracted to the retention strip.

5. The cutting assist device of claim 4 , wherein the holding member has a grip portion configured to be grasped by a user.

6. The cutting assist device of claim 5 , wherein the holding member has a base portion and a magnetic member at the base portion.

7. The cutting assist device of claim 4 , wherein the holding member is removable from the first cutting board.

8. The cutting assist device of claim 1 , wherein the second side includes a slip-resisting member.

9. The cutting assist device of claim 1 , further comprising an end piece, the end piece attaching to the first cutting board at one of the first end and the second end, the end piece including measurement markings.

10. The cutting assist device of claim 9 , wherein the end piece includes a slidable measurement tape.

11. The cutting assist device of claim 9 , wherein the end piece includes an end piece channel which aligns with the cutting channel of the first cutting board.

12. The cutting assist device of claim 1 , further comprising a cutting channel insert that is removably insertable into the cutting channel.

13. A cutting assist device, comprising:
a first cutting board, the first cutting board having a first board top side a first board bottom side opposite the first board top side, the first cutting board further comprising a first board cutting channel open to the first board top side;
a second cutting board, the second cutting board having a second board top side a second board bottom side opposite the second board top side, the second cutting board further comprising a second board cutting channel open to the second board top side;
wherein the first cutting board is connectable to the second cutting board; and
wherein, when the first cutting board is connected to the second cutting board, the first board cutting channel and second board cutting channel are aligned to form an elongated cutting channel.

14. The cutting assist device of claim 13 , wherein the first cutting board further includes a magnetic strip on the first board top side.

15. The cutting assist device of claim 13 , further comprising a holding member which is attracted to the magnetic strip.

16. The cutting assist device of claim 13 , further comprising a cutting channel insert that is removably insertable into at least one of the first board cutting channel and the second board cutting channel.

17. A cutting assist device, comprising:
at least a first cutting board, the first cutting board having a first side and a second side opposite the first side;
a cutting channel open to the first side of the first cutting board, the cutting channel configured to allow a portion of a cutting device to be accommodated in the channel while a material placed on the first side is cut by the cutting device;
a magnetic portion on the first side of the first cutting board;
at least one holding member, the holding member being including a grip portion configured to be grasped by a user and a base portion, the base portion having a magnetic member;
wherein the magnetic member is attracted to the magnetic portion so as to bias the holding member towards the first side of the cutting board at the magnetic portion.
