Chopping boards
First Claim
1. A chopping board having a large planar top surface defining a chopping area and a narrower handle area extending therefrom, the board being flexible along a longitudinal line which extends fully through both the chopping area and the handle area along the length of the board, the board also incorporating a hinge positioned near to the handle area of the board along a lateral line which extends fully across the board from one side to the other, so as to intersect said longitudinal line.

Abstract
The basic product is a chopping board 1 which can be reshaped to form a chute, by grasping a handle part 2 of it, so that chopped food 3 (for example) can be guided into a pan 4 or other receptacle. The flat board has a pair of hinges 5 in it so that it can be reshaped to form a duct or chute. The handle 2 enables the board to be grasped and also effects reshaping of the board from the flat to form a chute. A hinge 6 can also be formed across the board to enable the handle to be lifted about the hinge 6 so as to lock the main hinges 5. However, when the board is in the `chute mode` the angled sides 7 make the board rigid in the direction of the chute.
