DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] [Embodiment] As shown in Fig. 1, the sushi counter 10 according to this embodiment comprises a tabletop, a stand, and multiple legs. The stand is attached to the tabletop so that the top surface of the stand is located higher than the top surface of the tabletop. The stand is also disposed along one edge in the width direction of the tabletop when viewed from above (also referred to as a top view). The multiple legs are attached to the tabletop. The multiple legs are configured to be switchable between a stored position and a usage position.

[0010] Therefore, with the sushi counter 10 according to this embodiment, the legs can be placed in the storage position for easy transportation, and the legs can be placed in the usage position for easy installation. In Fig. 1, reference numeral 6 denotes a chair, and reference numeral 8 denotes a tsukeba counter used by a sushi chef. The sushi counter 10 according to this embodiment can be used together with the chair 6, tsukeba counter 8, etc. to form the interior of a sushi restaurant.

[0011] The sushi counter 10 according to this embodiment will be described in detail below. Figure 2A shows a plan view of the sushi counter 10 according to this embodiment. Figure 2B shows a front view of the sushi counter 10 according to this embodiment. The sushi counter 10 according to this disclosure may be made up of only one counter, but in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2, an example is given in which it is made up of multiple counters.

[0012] 2A and 2B, sushi counter 10 according to this embodiment is made up of multiple counters connected together. Sushi counter 10 has multiple counters: first counter 1, second counter 2, third counter 3, and fourth counter 4. Sushi counter 10 according to this embodiment is made up of first counter 1, second counter 2, third counter 3, and fourth counter 4 lined up in one direction in that order.

[0013] For ease of explanation, the direction in which the first counter 1 to the fourth counter 4 are lined up is defined as the "first direction", and the direction perpendicular to the first direction and along the horizontal plane is defined as the "second direction".

[0014] (1st counter 1) First counter 1 comprises a top plate (hereinafter sometimes referred to as first top plate 11), a stand (hereinafter sometimes referred to as first stand 12) on which the sushi chef places the prepared sushi, and multiple legs (hereinafter sometimes referred to as first legs 13). First counter 1 also comprises a partition 16. First counter 1 constitutes one longitudinal end of sushi counters 10 that are lined up in one direction.

[0015] Referring to FIG. 3, the first tabletop 11 is an upper board of the first counter 1. The top surface of the first tabletop 11 is flat. The first tabletop 11 has a longitudinal direction parallel to a first direction. The first tabletop 11 is formed in a rectangular shape in a plan view, having a length in the first direction and a width in the second direction. In this disclosure, "length" is longer than "width". Examples of materials for the first tabletop 11 include wood, synthetic resin, metal, glass, etc.

[0016] As shown in Fig. 4, the first tabletop 11 has a connecting portion 14 used to connect with an adjacent tabletop, that of the second counter 2 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the second tabletop 21). The connecting portion 14 is configured by a rib piece that protrudes downward from an end portion in the first direction of the flat tabletop main body of the first tabletop 11. The connecting portion 14 is formed over the entire length of the first tabletop 11 in the second direction. The connecting portion 14 has a plurality of through holes through which the connectors 7 are passed.

[0017] 4B, when the connecting portion 14 of the first tabletop 11 and the connecting portion 24 of the second tabletop 21 are opposed to each other, the through hole formed in the connecting portion 14 of the first tabletop 11 is arranged coaxially with the through hole formed in the connecting portion 24 of the second tabletop 21. In this state, adjacent connecting portions 14, 24 are connected to each other by passing a connector 7 such as a bolt through the through hole. This makes it easy to keep the top surfaces of adjacent tabletops 11, 21 flush with each other, and also makes it easy to keep the top surfaces 122 of adjacent mounting bases 12, 22 flush with each other.

[0018] In this embodiment, a wing bolt and a wing nut are used as the connector 7, but for example, a hexagonal bolt, a hexagonal socket bolt, a one-sided bolt, a rivet, or a pin may also be used.

[0019] The first table 12 is a table on which the sushi chef places the sushi he has prepared. The first table 12 may be used to place sushi directly, sushi wooden clogs, plates, or sake bottles or other sake containers.

[0020] 3A, the first mounting stand 12 has an upper surface 122, a front surface 121, a rear surface 123, and a pair of side surfaces 124. The first mounting stand 12 is provided on the first top plate 11 such that the upper surface 122 is located above the upper surface of the first top plate 11. In this embodiment, the first mounting stand 12 protrudes upward from the upper surface of the first top plate 11. The first mounting stand 12 is integrally formed with the first top plate 11. The first mounting stand 12 may be formed by cutting the first top plate 11 and the first mounting stand 12, or may be integrally molded by resin molding, or the first mounting stand 12 may be attached to the upper surface 122 of the first top plate 11 by, for example, adhesion, screwing, bolting, or the like.

[0021] The maximum width of the first mounting stand 12 is shorter than the maximum width of the first top plate 11. The maximum width of the first mounting stand 12 is preferably 50% or less, more preferably 45% or less, and even more preferably 40% or less, of the maximum width of the first top plate 11. The maximum width of the first mounting stand 12 is preferably 30% or more of the maximum width of the first top plate 11. The maximum thickness of the first mounting stand 12 in the vertical direction is preferably thinner than the maximum thickness of the first top plate 11. The maximum thickness of the first mounting stand 12 in the vertical direction may be thicker or thinner than the minimum thickness of the first top plate 11. In addition, the thickness of the first mounting stand 12 is uniform over the entire surface, and the upper surface 122 of the first mounting stand 12 is parallel to the upper surface of the first top plate 11, but the upper surface 122 of the first mounting stand 12 may be inclined with respect to the upper surface of the first top plate 11.

[0022] In plan view, the first attachment stand 12 is disposed along one edge in the width direction of the first top plate 11. In this embodiment, the edge of the first attachment stand 12 on the width direction side where the sushi chef is located and the edge of the first top plate 11 on the width direction side where the sushi chef is located (i.e. the rear side) are aligned in a plane view. The end face of the first counter 1 on the sushi chef side is made up of the end face of the first top plate 11 on the sushi chef side and the rear face 123 of the first attachment stand 12. However, the rear face 123 of the first attachment stand 12 does not necessarily have to be aligned in a plane view with the end face of the first top plate 11 on the sushi chef side, and may be positioned on the customer side. The first attachment stand 12 is preferably positioned in an area on the sushi chef side rather than the center of the width direction of the first top plate 11.

[0023] The multiple first legs 13 support the first tabletop 11. The multiple first legs 13 (two first legs 13 in this embodiment) are provided on the first tabletop 11. As shown in Figs. 3A and 3B, each first leg 13 includes a pair of pillars 131, multiple connectors 132 connecting the pair of pillars 131, and multiple diagonal braces 133 provided corresponding to each pillar 131. As shown in Fig. 3C, each first leg 13 is formed to be switchable between a stored position and a use position.

[0024] The pillar body 131 extends in the vertical direction in the use position. The pillar body 131 includes a mounting bracket 134 fixed to the lower surface of the first top plate 11, and a pillar body 135 rotatably attached to the mounting bracket 134. The rotation axis of the pillar body 135 is parallel to the second direction (the width direction of the first top plate 11). The pillar body 135 in the use position extends parallel to the vertical direction, and is configured so that its upper end is attached to the mounting bracket 134 and its lower end is placed on the installation surface. The pillar body 135 in the storage position is disposed along the lower surface of the first top plate 11. In this embodiment, the pillar body 135 in the storage position extends parallel to the upper surface 122 of the first top plate 11.

[0025] The connector 132 connects a pair of adjacent pillars 131 in the second direction. The connector 132 extends in the second direction. The multiple connectors 132 are arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the pillars 131. Since the pair of pillars 131 are connected by the multiple connectors 132, the first leg 13 can be switched between the stored position and the usage position simply by applying force to one of the pair of pillars 131 or the connector 132.

[0026] The diagonal brace 133 is disposed across the corner portion between the column 131 and the first top plate 11. When the first leg 13 is in the use position, the diagonal brace 133 extends linearly and can reinforce the force with which the first support column supports the first top plate 11. When the first leg 13 is in the storage position, the diagonal brace 133 is bent in the middle portion in the longitudinal direction.

[0027] Referring to FIG. 3B, the first legs 13 are spaced apart in the first direction. Here, among the longitudinal ends of the first tabletop 11, an end without an adjacent counter is referred to as the "first end T1", and an end with an adjacent counter is referred to as the "second end T2". In the first counter 1, the minimum distance D1 from the first end T1 to the first leg 13 is shorter than the minimum distance D2 from the second end T2 to the first leg 13. There is no particular limit to the distance D2, but it is preferably 300 mm or more and 450 mm or less, and more preferably 325 mm or more and 400 mm or less. The distance D1 may be zero. This configuration makes it easier for customers between adjacent counters to insert their legs between the first leg 13 and the second leg 23 while reducing the loss of stability in the counter installation.

[0028] FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of the partition 16 attached to the first counter 1. Referring to FIG. 5, an attachment portion 15 is provided on an end surface of the first tabletop 11 that faces the same direction as the rear surface 123 of the first tabletop 12 in the width direction. The partition 16 is removably attached to the attachment portion 15. Examples of the attachment portion 15 include a hook-and-loop fastener, a button, a magnet, a hook, and a snap. The partition 16 extends downward from the first tabletop 11 and can separate the seating area from the customer's space. The partition 16 is formed in a flexible curtain shape. The partition 16 is convenient to transport because it is formed in a curtain shape. However, the partition 16 may be made of a deformable board such as a wooden board.

[0029] (2nd counter 2) Referring to FIG. 2, the second counter 2 comprises a second tabletop 21, a base (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a second base 22), and multiple legs (hereinafter sometimes referred to as second legs 23). The second counter 2 also comprises a partition 16. The second counter 2 constitutes the middle part in the longitudinal direction of the sushi counters 10 lined up in one direction. The middle part means the part between both ends in one direction, excluding the ends. The second counter 2 is mostly the same as the first counter 1. For this reason, repeated explanations will be omitted.

[0030] The second tabletop 21 has the same structure as the first tabletop 11. The second mount 22 has the same structure as the first mount 12. The second leg 23 has the same structure as the first leg 13.

The structure of the connecting part 24 of the second tabletop 21 is the same as the structure of the connecting part 14 of the first counter 1.

[0032] 2, the minimum distance from one longitudinal end of the second tabletop 21 to one of the second legs 23 is the same as the minimum distance from the other longitudinal end of the second tabletop 21 to the other of the second legs 23. In this embodiment, the minimum distance from one longitudinal end of the second tabletop 21 to one of the second legs 23 is the same as the distance D2 (see FIG. 3B) in the first counter 1. Here, "the same distance" means a distance that can be considered to be the same, and for example, a difference of 1 cm or less falls within the category of "the same distance."

[0033] (3rd counter 3) The third counter 3 comprises a top plate (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the third top plate 31), a stand (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the third stand 32), and multiple legs (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the third legs 33). The third counter 3 also comprises a partition 16. The third counter 3 forms the middle section in the longitudinal direction of the sushi counters 10 lined up in one direction. The second counter 2 is mostly the same as the second counter 2. Therefore, repeated explanations will be omitted.
