Patent ID: 7086156

Claim:
A device for securing knives comprising a magnet support; a first magnetically charged strip comprising a long plane and a short plane positioned adjacent and perpendicular to each other in which the short plane projects from the long plane to define an “L” shape, said first magnetically charged strip having an L-shaped inner face and a flat outer face, and wherein the outer face of the first magnetically charged strip is co-extensive with, and permanently affixed to, the magnet support, and a second magnetically charged strip with a long plane, having a flat inner face and a flat outer face, and wherein the outer face of the second magnetically charged strip is co-extensive with, and permanently affixed to, the magnet support; a hinge located on the magnet support between the first magnetically charged strip and the second magnetically charged strip, said hinge permitting the magnet support to move between an open position and a closed position, and moveably connecting the first magnetically charged strip to the second magnetically charged strip; wherein the hinge, first magnetic strip, and second magnetic strip are positioned so that when the hinge is in the closed position the flat inner face of the second magnetically charged strip is aligned with, and juxtaposed to, the L-shaped inner face of the first magnetically charged strip.
