The partition plate held in the standing state by the partition holding portion has a shape larger than the projected shape from the front side of the cutting board inserted between the support portions and held in the standing state. is there.

In the kitchen screen, the partition plate may be detachable from the partition holding portion. Or you may provide a partition holding | maintenance part so that attachment or detachment is possible with respect to the worktop of kitchen equipment.

By the way, the partition holding portion in the kitchen screen according to the present invention is composed of two sandwiching portions that are erected at appropriate intervals so as to sandwich the front and rear of the partition plate, and the two sandwiching portions are the thickness of the partition plate. It has a pinching interval portion narrower than the dimension, and at least one pinching portion is formed by bending an elastic wire so that it can be elastically deformed in the thickness direction of the partition plate, and has an elastic limit. It can be considered that the sandwiching interval can be increased or decreased by applying a deforming force exceeding.

The kitchen screen according to claim 1 exhibits a blindfold function and a water splash prevention function by the partition board, and by separately providing a cutting board holding part, a space for storing the cutting board is secured separately, or a cutting board stand is provided. There is an advantage that it is not necessary to prepare separately. Therefore, the upper surface of the worktop of the kitchen facility can be used effectively as a storage space for cutting boards, and also as a temporary storage space for work such as cooking and cooking utensils. By configuring the chopping board holding part with a plurality of support parts erected at intervals equal to or greater than the thickness of the chopping board, the chopping board can be easily held in an upright state by simply inserting between the support parts. Moreover, it is easy to attach and detach. Moreover, by making the partition board into a shape larger than the projected shape from the front side of the cutting board that is inserted between the support parts and held in an upright state, the cutting board cannot be seen from the living side in the face-to-face kitchen unit. Can be blindfolded. Therefore, aesthetics are improved. Since the kitchen screen of this example holds the cutting board as well as the cutting board in an upright state, the required installation area is small.
