Abstract:
1. An adjustable cutting board apparatus comprising: a board having a front surface, an opposed back surface, and a peripheral edge surface, a portion of the peripheral edge surface including a cutout region defining two co-terminal base legs; the portion of the peripheral edge surface in the cutout region including a concave contoured edge surface having a defined, uniform radius of curvature; a stand configured and dimensioned to be receivable and rotatably mountable in mated relationship with the cutout region, the stand having a front surface, an opposed back surface, and a peripheral edge surface; a portion of the peripheral edge surface including a base surface and a portion of the peripheral edge surface having a convex contoured edge surface defined thereon, the convex contoured edge surface having the same uniform radius of curvature as the concave contoured edge surface in the cutout region; the stand being sized and shaped such that, when the cutting board is configured for cutting use, the concave contoured edge surface of the cutout in the cutout region is in mating contact with the convex contoured edge surface of the stand, the front and back surfaces of the stand being co-extensive with the respective front and back surfaces of the board in the area of the cutout region; and, wherein the stand is adjustably rotatable within the cutout region to dispose the board and the stand at an angled relationship to one another such that the base surface of the stand and the base legs are co-extensive with one another and together are capable of supporting the cutting board in an upright, vertical standing configuration.
