[0016] [Implementation Method]

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, the sushi counter 10 according to this embodiment includes a top plate, a preparation table, and multiple legs. The preparation table is disposed on the top plate with its upper surface positioned above the upper surface of the top plate. Furthermore, the preparation table is arranged along one end edge of the top plate in the width direction in a top view (also referred to as a top view). Multiple legs are disposed on the top plate. The multiple legs are configured to switch between a storage position and a use position.

[0018] Therefore, according to the sushi counter 10 of this embodiment, by positioning the multiple legs in the storage position, it can be easily moved, and by positioning the multiple legs in the use position, it can be easily installed. Figure 1 In the attached figures, reference numeral 6 represents a chair, and reference numeral 8 represents the preparation area counter used by the sushi chef. The sushi counter 10 involved in this embodiment can be used, for example, with the chair 6, the preparation area counter 8, etc., to construct the interior equipment of a sushi shop.

[0019] The sushi counter 10 described in this embodiment will now be explained in detail. Figure 2 A in the figure shows a top view of the sushi counter 10 involved in this embodiment. Figure 2 B in the diagram shows a front view of the sushi counter 10 according to this embodiment. While the sushi counter 10 according to this disclosure can be constructed with only one counter, in this embodiment, as shown... Figure 2 As shown, examples of structures consisting of multiple counters are provided for illustration.

[0020] Reference Figure 2 A and Figure 2 In embodiment B, the sushi counter 10 is constructed by connecting multiple counters. The sushi counter 10 includes a first counter 1, a second counter 2, a third counter 3, and a fourth counter 4, which are multiple counters. The sushi counter 10 of this embodiment is constructed by arranging the first counter 1, the second counter 2, the third counter 3, and the fourth counter 4 in this order along one direction.

[0021] For ease of explanation, the direction from the first counter 1 to the fourth counter 4 will be defined as the "first direction", and the direction that is orthogonal to the first direction and along the horizontal plane will be defined as the "second direction".

[0022] (First counter 1)

[0023] The first counter 1 includes a top plate (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the first top plate 11), a preparation table (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the first preparation table 12) serving as a platform for placing sushi made by the sushi chef, and multiple legs (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the first legs 13). Additionally, the first counter 1 includes a partition 16. The first counter 1 is constructed at one end along the long side of a sushi counter 10 arranged in one direction.

[0024] Reference Figure 3 The first top plate 11 is the upper plate of the first counter 1. The upper surface of the first top plate 11 is flat. The first top plate 11 has a long side direction parallel to a first direction. The first top plate 11 is formed into a rectangular shape when viewed from above, which has a length in the first direction and a width in a second direction when viewed from above. In this disclosure, "length" is longer than "width". Examples of materials that can be used for the first top plate 11 include wood, synthetic resin, metal, and glass.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, the first top plate 11 has a connecting portion 14 for connecting to the top plate of the second counter 2 (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the second top plate 21), which is an adjacent top plate. The connecting portion 14 is constructed of ribs protruding downward from the end of the flat top plate body of the first top plate 11 in a first direction. The connecting portion 14 is formed along a second direction on the first top plate 11. The connecting portion 14 has a plurality of through holes through which the connecting member 7 passes.

[0026] Reference Figure 4In section B, when the connecting portion 14 of the first top plate 11 is aligned with the connecting portion 24 of the second top plate 21, the through hole formed on the connecting portion 14 of the first top plate 11 and the through hole formed on the connecting portion 24 of the second top plate 21 are arranged coaxially. In this state, by passing the connecting member 7 such as a bolt through the through hole, the adjacent connecting portions 14 and 24 are connected to each other. As a result, it is easy to keep the upper surfaces of the adjacent top plates 11 and 21 on the same plane, and it is also easy to keep the upper surfaces 122 of the adjacent modulation tables 12 and 22 on the same plane.

[0027] Although wing bolts and wing nuts are used as connecting parts 7 in this embodiment, hex bolts, socket head cap bolts, single-sided bolts, rivets, and pins may also be used, for example.

[0028] The first preparation table 12 is a platform for placing sushi made by the sushi chef. On the first preparation table 12, sushi can be placed directly, as well as sushi clogs, plates, and sake bottles and other drinking utensils.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 In embodiment A, the first modulation stage 12 has an upper surface 122, a front surface 121, a rear surface 123, and a pair of side surfaces 124. The first modulation stage 12 is disposed on the first top plate 11 such that its upper surface 122 is located above the upper surface of the first top plate 11. In this embodiment, the first modulation stage 12 protrudes upward from the upper surface of the first top plate 11. The first modulation stage 12 is integrally formed with the first top plate 11. Regarding the first modulation stage 12, the first top plate 11 and the first modulation stage 12 can be formed by cutting, or they can be integrally formed by resin molding, or the first modulation stage 12 can be mounted to the upper surface 122 of the first top plate 11 by, for example, bonding, screw fixing, bolt fixing, etc.

[0030] The maximum width of the first modulation stage 12 is shorter than the maximum width of the first top plate 11. The maximum width of the first modulation stage 12 is preferably less than 50% of the maximum width of the first top plate 11, more preferably less than 45%, and even more preferably less than 40%. The maximum width of the first modulation stage 12 is preferably more than 30% of the maximum width of the first top plate 11. The maximum thickness of the first modulation stage 12 in the vertical direction is preferably thinner than the maximum thickness of the first top plate 11. The maximum thickness of the first modulation stage 12 in the vertical direction can be thicker or thinner than the minimum thickness of the first top plate 11. Furthermore, the thickness of the first modulation stage 12 can be uniform across the entire surface, and the upper surface 122 of the first modulation stage 12 can be parallel to the upper surface of the first top plate 11, but the upper surface 122 of the first modulation stage 12 can also be inclined relative to the upper surface of the first top plate 11.

[0031] In top view, the first preparation table 12 is arranged along one end edge of the first top plate 11 in the width direction. In this embodiment, the end edge of the first preparation table 12 on the side where the sushi chef is located in the width direction and the end edge of the first top plate 11 on the side where the sushi chef is located in the width direction (i.e., the rear side) are aligned in top view. The end face of the first counter 1 on the sushi chef side is constructed by the end face of the first top plate 11 on the sushi chef side and the rear surface 123 of the first preparation table 12. However, the rear surface 123 of the first preparation table 12 may not necessarily be aligned with the end face of the first top plate 11 on the sushi chef side in top view, and may also be located on the customer side. The first preparation table 12 is preferably located in the area closer to the sushi chef side than the center of the first top plate 11 in the width direction.

[0032] Multiple first legs 13 support the first top plate 11. Multiple first legs 13 (two first legs 13 in this embodiment) are disposed on the first top plate 11. For example... Figure 3 A and Figure 3 As shown in B, each first support leg 13 includes: a pair of columns 131; a plurality of connecting bodies 132 connecting the pair of columns 131; and a plurality of diagonal braces 133 corresponding to each column 131. Figure 3 As shown in C, each of the first legs 13 is configured to switch between a storage position and a usage position.

[0033] The column 131 extends vertically in the use position. The column 131 includes a mounting bracket 134 fixed to the lower surface of the first top plate 11; and a column body 135 mounted to be rotatable relative to the mounting bracket 134. The axis of rotation of the column body 135 is parallel to a second direction (the width direction of the first top plate 11). In the use position, the column body 135 is configured to extend parallel to the vertical direction, with its upper end mounted to the mounting bracket 134 and its lower end resting on the mounting surface. In the storage position, the column body 135 is arranged along the lower surface of the first top plate 11. In this embodiment, the column body 135 in the storage position extends parallel to the upper surface 122 of the first top plate 11.

[0034] A connector 132 connects a pair of adjacent columns 131 in the second direction. The connector 132 extends in the second direction. Multiple connectors 132 are arranged at intervals along the long side of the columns 131. Since a pair of columns 131 are connected by multiple connectors 132, the first leg 13 can be switched between a storage position and a use position by applying force to one of the pairs of columns 131 or the connector 132.

[0035] The diagonal brace 133 is mounted on the column 131 and the first top plate 11 in the corner portion formed by the column 131 and the first top plate 11. When the first support leg 13 is in the use position, the diagonal brace 133 extends in a straight line, thereby strengthening the force of the first support leg supporting the first top plate 11. When the first support leg 13 is in the retracted position, the diagonal brace 133 bends at the middle portion in the long side direction.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 In section B, multiple first legs 13 are arranged at intervals in a first direction. Here, in the long side direction of the first top plate 11, the end without adjacent counters is designated as "first end T1", and the end with adjacent counters is designated as "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. The distance D2 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 300mm or more and 450mm or less, more preferably 325mm or more and 400mm or less. The distance D1 can be zero. With this configuration, the sense of stability of the counter installation is reduced, and customers located between adjacent counters can easily insert their feet between the first leg 13 and the second leg 23.

[0037] Figure 5 A perspective view shows a partition 16 installed on the first counter 1. (Refer to...) Figure 5 A mounting portion 15 is provided on the end face of the first top plate 11 in the width direction, facing the same direction as the rear surface 123 of the first modulation table 12. A partition 16 is detachably mounted on the mounting portion 15. Examples of mounting portions 15 include surface-mount components, buttons, magnets, hooks, and snap hooks. The partition 16 extends downward from the first top plate 11 and can separate the modulation area from the customer-side space. The partition 16 is formed into a flexible curtain shape. By forming the partition 16 into a curtain shape, it is easy to move the partition 16. However, the partition 16 can also be constructed from a deformable board such as a wooden board.

[0038] (Second Counter 2)

[0039] Reference Figure 2 The second counter 2 includes a second top plate 21, a mixing table (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the second mixing table 22), and multiple legs (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the second legs 23). Additionally, the second counter 2 includes a partition 16. The second counter 2 is constructed in the middle section along the long side of the sushi counters 10 arranged in one direction. The middle section refers to the portion between the two ends in one direction, and is the portion other than the ends. The second counter 2 is largely the same as the first counter 1. Therefore, repeated descriptions are omitted.

[0040] The second top plate 21 has the same structure as the first top plate 11. Additionally, the second modulation stage 22 has the same structure as the first modulation stage 12. The second support leg 23 has the same structure as the first support leg 13.

[0041] The second top plate 21 has a connecting portion 24 for connecting to the first counter 1 at one end along its long side. The second top plate 21 also has a connecting portion 24 for connecting to the third counter 3 at the other end along its long side. The structure of the connecting portion 24 of the second top plate 21 is the same as that of the connecting portion 14 of the first counter 1.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the minimum distance from one end of the long side of the second top plate 21 to one side second leg 23 is the same as the minimum distance from the other end of the long side of the second top plate 21 to the other side second leg 23. In this embodiment, the minimum distance from one end of the long side of the second top plate 21 to one side second leg 23 is the same as the distance D2 in the first counter 1 (refer to...). Figure 3 In section B), "same distance" means that the distance is considered the same; for example, a deviation of less than 1 cm falls into the category of "same distance".

[0043] (Counter 3)

[0044] The third counter 3 includes a top plate (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the third top plate 31), a preparation table (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the third preparation table 32), and multiple legs (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the third legs 33). Additionally, the third counter 3 includes a partition 16. The third counter 3 is constructed in the middle section along the long side of the sushi counters 10 arranged in one direction. The third counter 3 is largely the same as the second counter 2. Therefore, repeated descriptions are omitted.

[0045] The third top plate 31 has the same structure as the second top plate 21. Additionally, the third modulation stage 32 has the same structure as the second modulation stage 22. The third support leg 33 has the same structure as the second support leg 23.

[0046] The third top plate 31 has a connecting portion 34 at one end along its long side for connecting to the second counter 2. The third top plate 31 also has a connecting portion 34 at the other end along its length for connecting to the fourth counter 4. The structure of the connecting portion 34 of the third top plate 31 is the same as the structure of the connecting portion 14 of the first counter 1. When the connecting portion 34 of the third top plate 31 is connected to the connecting portion 24 of the second top plate 21, it is easy to maintain the upper surface of the third top plate 31 and the upper surface of the second top plate 21 as the same surface, and it is also easy to maintain the upper surface of the third modulation table 32 and the upper surface 222 of the second modulation table 22 as the same surface.

[0047] (Fourth counter 4)

[0048] The fourth counter 4 includes a top plate (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the fourth top plate 41), a mixing table (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the fourth mixing table 42), and multiple legs (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the fourth legs 43). Additionally, the fourth counter 4 includes a partition 16. The fourth counter 4 is constructed at an end opposite to the first counter 1 in the long side direction of the sushi counters 10 arranged along one direction. The fourth counter 4 is symmetrical to the first counter 1 about a plane of symmetry orthogonal to the first direction. Therefore, repeated descriptions are omitted.

[0049] The fourth top plate 41 has the same structure as the first top plate 11. Additionally, the fourth modulation stage 42 has the same structure as the first modulation stage 12. The fourth support leg 43 has the same structure as the first support leg 13.

[0050] The fourth top plate 41 has a connecting portion 44 at one end along its long side for connecting to the third counter 3. The structure of the connecting portion 44 of the fourth top plate 41 is the same as that of the connecting portion 14 of the first counter 1. When the connecting portion 44 of the fourth top plate 41 is connected to the connecting portion 34 of the third top plate 31, it is easy to keep the upper surface of the fourth top plate 41 and the upper surface of the third top plate 31 in the same state, and it is easy to keep the upper surface of the fourth modulation table 42 and the upper surface of the third modulation table 32 in the same state.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the minimum distance from one end of the sushi counter 10 to the second leg 23 in the long side direction of the fourth top plate 41 is shorter than the minimum distance from the other end of the fourth top plate 41 to the second leg 23.

[0052] <Usage Examples>

[0053] Although in the above embodiment, the first counter 1 to the fourth counter 4 are arranged in a straight line, the sushi counter 10 can also be arranged as follows: Figure 6 Use it as shown.

[0054] Reference Figure 6 The column formed by the first counter 1, the second counter 2, and the third counter 3 is designated as "Column 1 L1", and the column formed by the fourth counter 4 is designated as "Column 2 L2". The long side of Column 2 L2 intersects the long side of Column 1 L1. Column 1 L1 and Column 2 L2 are connected by corner counter 5.

[0055] like Figure 6As shown in B, the corner counter 5 includes a corner top plate 51, a corner mixing table 52, and corner legs 53 disposed on the corner top plate 51. The corner top plate 51 is formed into a generally square shape when viewed from above. The shape of the corner top plate 51 is not limited to a generally square shape when viewed from above; it may also be formed into a fan shape or a right-angled triangle shape.

[0056] The corner top panel 51 has a connecting part 54 for connecting with the adjacent top panel. The structure of the connecting part 54 is the same as that of the connecting part 14 of the first counter 1.

[0057] like Figure 7 As shown, the corner top plate 51 has a recess 511 for accommodating corner support legs 53. The recess 511 is formed to be recessed on the lower surface of the corner top plate 51 to accommodate the corner support legs 53. A plurality of retainers 512 are installed in the recess 511 to hold the corner support legs 53 stored in the recess 511.

[0058] like Figure 7 As shown, the corner top plate 51 has mounting bolts 513 for detachably mounting corner support legs 53. The mounting bolts 513 protrude downward at the corner of the corner top plate 51.

[0059] A corner support leg 53 supports the corner top plate 51. The corner support leg 53 is formed as a column extending in the vertical direction. A threaded hole is formed at the upper end of the corner support leg 53. The corner support leg 53 is installed to the corner top plate 51 by screwing the mounting bolt 513 into the threaded hole.

[0060] Reference Figure 6 A corner modulation table 52 is arranged between the modulation table (here, the third modulation table 32) on the first column L1 and the modulation table (here, the fourth modulation table 42) on the second column L2. When the corner counter 5 is installed between the first column L1 and the second column L2, the upper surface of the corner modulation table 52 is on the same plane as the upper surfaces of the modulation tables on the first column L1 and the second column L2. In this embodiment, the upper surface of the corner modulation table 52 is on the same plane as the upper surfaces of the modulation tables on the first column L1 and the second column L2. In addition, when the corner counter 5 is installed between the first column L1 and the second column L2, the upper surface of the corner top plate 51 is on the same plane as the upper surfaces of the top plates on the first column L1 and the second column L2, more specifically, on the same plane.

[0061] like Figure 8 As shown in A, the sushi counter 10 is constructed by the first counter 1 and the second counter 2 to form the first column L1, and by the third counter 3 and the fourth counter 4 to form the second column L2.

[0062] In addition, such as Figure 8 As shown in B, the sushi counter 10 can be formed in a roughly U-shape from above by two first columns L1, one second column L2, and two corner counters 5. In this case, one of the two first columns L1 is constructed by the first counter 1. The other first column L1 is constructed by the fourth counter 4. The second column L2 is constructed by the second counter 2 and the third counter 3.

[0063] [Variation Example]

[0064] The above-described embodiments are merely one example of the various embodiments of this disclosure. Various modifications can be made to the embodiments to achieve the objectives of this disclosure, depending on design and other factors. Hereinafter, variations of the embodiments are listed. The variations described below can be appropriately combined and applied.

[0065] Although each counter in the sushi counter 10 described in the above embodiment has a partition 16 installed, the partition 16 can also be installed across multiple counters. In addition, a portion of adjacent partitions 16 can overlap.

[0066] Although the sushi counter 10 involved in the above embodiments and variations is formed in the shape of a straight line, an L-shape, or a U-shape when viewed from above, it can also be formed in the shape of an O-shape or a T-shape when viewed from above.

[0067] In the above embodiment, the legs of each counter can be switched between a storage position and a use position by folding, but multiple legs can also be detachably installed onto the top plate. In this case, similar to the structure of corner counter 5, the legs can be set in the use position by installing the legs onto the top plate, and in the storage position by removing the legs.

[0068] Although each leg includes a pair of columns 131, each leg can also be formed as a plate.

[0069] The sushi counter 10 described above is constructed by connecting four counters, but it can also be constructed by connecting only one counter, or by connecting five or more counters.

[0070] Although in the above embodiment, the connecting body 132 connects a pair of columns 131 at a position where it moves upward from the lower end of the column 131, the connecting body 132 can also connect the lower ends of the columns 131 to each other and place them on the mounting surface.

[0071] 〔Summarize〕

[0075] In the sushi counter 10 described in the third approach, under the first or second approach, multiple top panels are included, each of which has a connecting portion for connecting with adjacent top panels. According to this approach, regardless of the size of the sushi counter 10, the labor required for moving it into the installation space and for installation can be reduced. Furthermore, by connecting adjacent top panels to each other with the connecting portions, it is easy to keep the upper surfaces of adjacent top panels flush with each other.

[0076] In the fourth embodiment of the sushi counter 10, under any one of the first to third embodiments, it includes: a first column L1 having at least one counter with a top plate, a preparation table, and multiple legs; a second column L2 having at least one counter different from the first column L1, having a top plate, a preparation table, and multiple legs, the long side of the second column L2 intersecting the long side of the first column L1; and a corner counter 5 for connecting the first column L1 and the second column L2. According to this embodiment, the sushi counter 10 can be arranged in, for example, an L-shape, and various modified versions of the sushi counter 10 can be constructed.

[0077] In the sushi counter 10 described in the fifth embodiment, under the fourth embodiment, the corner counter 5 has: a corner top plate 51; and corner support legs 53 provided on the corner top plate 51. According to this embodiment, even when installing the corner counter 5, the labor required for moving it into the installation space and for installation can be reduced.

[0078] In the sushi counter 10 according to the sixth method, in the fifth method, the corner support 53 is detachably mounted to the corner top plate 51, and a storage recess 511 is formed on the lower surface of the corner top plate 51 to accommodate the detached corner support 53. According to this method, the corner counter 5 can be moved in a compact manner.
