Abstract

The invention named Stove Dirt Preventer is composed of two T-shaped strips named Top Seal Strips to close the gaps between the stove top cover and the kitchen cabinet while a half-rectangular-bracket shaped piece named Bottom Cover closes the gap between the floor and the front bottom edge of the stove to prevent food pieces or liquids spill through gaps around the stove and debris accumulation beneath and along the sides of kitchen stoves and the adjacent kitchen-cabinets sidewalls whereas all the components are designed in a manner that allows the user to remove and reinstall the same removed components many times.

 [b] the said Top-Seal-Strip  01  is composed of Outer-Strip  02  that is attached to one width-end of the Cushion  08  whereas the Inner-Strip  05  is attached to the opposite-side width-end of the said Cushion  08  and all said components are molded as a one-piece to form a T-shaped flexible long-strip and said all components comprises waterproof and flexible material that can withstand heat from cooking Stove  23  flame of fire;
 [i] the said Cushion  08  comprises a long-rectangle-shaped vertical wall with a hollow inner named Balloon  07  that extends along the length of the Cushion  08  while the bottom-edge of the Cushion  08  is half-oval shaped whereas the topmost-surface of the Cushion  08  named Crown  03  comprises a streak protruding up that extends along the length of the Cushion  08  to form protuberant ridge; 
 [ii] the said Cushion  08  top-surface that is adjacent to Crown  03  comprises a concave area named Dip  04  that extends along the length of the Cushion  08  whereas the area side of the Cushion  08  that is below Dip  04  named Lid-Seat  06  is attached to the width-end bottom-edge of the Inner-Strip  05  while the said Lid-Seat  06  extends along the length of the Cushion  08 ; 
 [iii] The said Inner-Strip  05  comprises a solid-strip that extends along the length of the Cushion  08  and one width-end of the Inner-Strip  05  comprises a tapered-shaped tip while the other width-end of the said Inner-Strip  05  that is without the tapered-shaped tip is attached to the width-end of the Cushion  08  that is between Dip  04  and Lid-Seat  06  whereas the bottom-surface of the Inner-Strip  05  comprises many different shapes based on the end user application of the Top-Seal-Strip  01 ; 
 [iv] the said Outer-Strip  02  comprises a straight-leveled bottom-surface named Seating  09  along with a slope top-surface to form a tapered-shaped tip on one width-end of the Outer-Strip  02  and the said Outer-Strip  02  extends along the length of the Cushion  08  to form a shape like an awning while the other width-end of the said Outer-Strip  02  that is without a tapered-shaped tip is attached to one width-end of the Cushion  08  that is the opposite side width-end from Dip  04  and adjacent to Crown  03 ; 
 [v] the said Outer-Strip  02  width-end that is not attached to Cushion  08  comprises a rectangular-shaped block named First-Block  10  hanging down from the Seating  09  and the said First-Block  10  extends along the length of the Outer-Strip  02 ; 
 
 [c] the said Bottom-Cover  12  is composed of locking mechanisms and a Sliding-Mechanism  15  and two rectangular-shaped short-pieces named Side-Strip  14  along with two rectangular-shaped long-pieces named Long-Strip  13  and one length-end of a Long-Strip  13  is attached to one length-end of a Side-Strip  14  while one length-end of the second Long-Strip  13  is attached to one length-end of the second Side-Strip  14  to form two separate L-shaped pieces with a long-arm and a short-arm;
 [i] The said Sliding-Mechanism  15  comprises two rectangular-shaped pieces and one of the said rectangular-shaped pieces comprises a pin on the front-face at the length end of the said piece and the second rectangular-shaped piece comprises a slot on the front-face at the length-end of the said second piece whereas said rectangular-shaped pieces length-ends that are with no pin or slot are molded into Long-Strips  13  length-ends that is not attached to the Side-Strips  14 ; 
 [ii] the said Sliding-Mechanism  15  is assembled by combining the said pin and the slot to link both the Long-Strips  13  to form a long half-rectangular-bracket shaped piece while enabling both Long-Strips  13  to slide beside each other; 
 [iii] both Long-Strips  13  comprises a hole on the front-face of the Long-Strips  13  near the L-bend while the bottom edges of all the said rectangular-shaped pieces of the Bottom-Cover  12  are aligned to a level straight line; 
 
 [d] the said locking mechanism comprises a hook named Hook  22  integrated into the side of a solid-cube named Hook-Block  19  along with a threaded metal-bolt named Bolt  16  and a metal-nut named Nut  17  along with a Nut-Holder  18 ;
 [i] the said Nut-Holder  18  comprises a Hexagon-Shaped-Opening  21  in the middle that extends from the front-face to the rear-face of the said Nut-Holder  18  and the said Nut-Holder  18  front-face is molded onto Hook-Block  19  rear-face while the said Nut  17  is pressed tightly into the said Hexagon-Shaped-Opening  21  of the Nut-Holder  18 ; 
 [ii] the said Hook-Block  19  comprises a Pass-Through-Hole  20  that begins from the center of the front-face of Hook-Block  19  and continues as a tunnel through the rear-face of Hook-Block  19  into Nut-Holder  18  while the said Pass-Through-Hole  20  tunnel in the Hook-Block  19  is perpendicular to the length of Hook  22 ; 
 [iii] the center of the said Pass-Through-Hole  20  tunnel coincides with the center of the Hexagon-Shaped-Opening  21 ; 
 [iv] the Bolt  16  open-end is inserted through the said hole that is near L-bends of the Long-Strips  13  and continued through the Pass-Through-Hole  20  tunnel in the Hook-Block  19  and then fastened the said open-end of the said Bolt  16  with the Nut  17  that is housed in the Nut-Holder  18 ;
