Stovetop Extender

Abstract

A counter gap extension device comprises an angle section having a vertical portion and a horizontal portion. The vertical portion has a cutout channel for accepting a magnetic strip material substantially traversing the entire vertical portion. One embodiment includes a portion on each end of the vertical portion without magnetic strip to allow a user to trim the length to fit specific counter widths. The counter gap extension device is placed against an appliance with the horizontal portion covering and protecting the gap. The magnetic strip removeably holds the counter gap extension device in place. One embodiment includes a plurality of circular shaped magnets disposed within the vertical portion.
