DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] <1. Overview of the food and beverage supply system> Hereinafter, an embodiment of a food and drink providing system (lottery system) using lottery members according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a plan view of the food and drink providing system, and Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a conveyance path.

[0014] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the food and drink service system according to this embodiment is installed in a sushi restaurant, as an example, and includes a transport path 1 for transporting containers 5 containing food and drink between a guest room S1 and a kitchen S2. Guest room S1 is provided with a plurality of customer seating booths 3 separated by partitions, and each customer seating booth 3 is arranged along transport path 1. Each customer seating booth 3 is also provided with a rectangular table 31, and one side of this table 31 is installed so that it contacts transport path 1.

[0015] The container 5 transported by the transport path 1 contains plates 4 on which food and drink (sushi, soup, sweets, drinks, etc.) are placed, and customers at each seating booth 3 take the plates 4 on which food and drink are placed from the container 5 on the transport path 1 and eat and drink at the table 31.

[0016] As shown in Fig. 2, a touch panel display 32 for placing orders, making payments, etc., and an insertion device 33 for inserting plates 4 are arranged on a table 31 of the customer booth 3. Food and drink ordered on the touch panel display 32 are transported by the second transport path 2 from the kitchen S2 to the table 31 where the order was placed. Information about the ordered food and drink is stored as order information in a processing device (not shown). Each device will be described in detail below.

[0017] <2.Transport path> 2, the transport path 1 has two lanes on which flat chain conveyors 11 are arranged, and these flat chain conveyors 11 are driven by a motor (not shown) to move in a circular motion between the guest room S1 and the kitchen S2. The above-mentioned containers 5 are arranged on the flat chain conveyor 11 at predetermined intervals and move on the transport path 1.

[0018] <3. Feeding device> Next, the insertion device 33 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the insertion device 33 includes a guide path 332 that opens above the table 31 and has an insertion opening 331 through which the dishes 4 are inserted, and a sensor 333 that is provided inside the guide path 332 and detects the dishes 4 that have passed through. The guide path 332 extends diagonally downward from the table 31 and is connected to a dish recovery channel 22 that is provided inside the conveyance path 1. The dish recovery channel 22 extends to the kitchen S2 and is connected to a storage tub (not shown) provided in the kitchen S2. Water flows through the dish recovery channel 22 toward the storage tub, and when the dishes 4 inserted through the insertion opening 331 fall into the dish recovery channel 22 via the guide path 332, the dishes are carried to the storage tub by the water. The dishes 4 are then collected in the storage tub, washed, and reused.

[0019] When the sensor 333 detects the plates 4 passing through the guide path 332, the type and number of plates are sent to the processing device described above and stored as insertion information. This insertion information is used at the time of payment; when the customer touches the payment button (not shown) on the touch panel display 32, the number and type of plates consumed, as well as the price, are displayed on the touch panel display based on the insertion information and the above-mentioned order information. If the customer agrees, a message urging the customer to pay the price at the POS register is displayed on the touch panel display 32. Alternatively, the payment can be processed by calling a store staff member and having them count the number of plates consumed.

[0020] <4. Containment Unit> Next, the container 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6. FIG. 3 is a front view of the container in a closed state, FIG. 4 is a side view of FIG. 3, FIG. 5 is a front view of the container in an open state, and FIG. 6 is a side view of FIG. 5. In FIGS. 3 to 6, the plates 4 are shown semitransparently in color for ease of explanation. First, the plates 4 stored in the container 5 will be described. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the plate (container) 4 comprises a plate (support portion) 41 that is circular in plan view and a cylindrical base 42 that protrudes downward from the underside of the plate 41, which are integrally formed. Then, food (not shown), such as sushi, is placed on the plate 41.

[0021] Next, the container 5 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the container 5 includes a table 6 having a placement position for placing a dish 4, a lid 7 for covering the top surface of the table 6, and an opening / closing mechanism 80 for closing the lid 7 when the dish 4 is placed at the placement position and for opening the lid 7 when the dish 4 is removed from the placement position. Each component will be described in detail below. For ease of explanation, the following description will be given based on the orientation shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, but the present invention is not limited to this orientation.

[0022] <4-1. Mounting table> Fig. 7 is a plan view of the mounting table and the operating member, Fig. 8 is a front view of Fig. 7, and Fig. 9 is a side view of Fig. 7. As shown in Figs. 7 and 8, the mounting table 6 comprises a cylindrical base 61 and a mounting portion 62 provided at the upper end thereof, which are integrally formed. A dish 4 is placed on the upper surface of the mounting portion 62, and the dish 4 is held in a mounting position described below. The mounting portion 62 comprises a mounting plate 63 that is circular in plan view, a stopper 64 located at the front of the upper surface of the mounting plate 63, and a pair of support pieces 67 located at the rear end of the mounting plate 63 and supporting the lid 7 so that it can be opened and closed.

[0023] The stopper 64 protrudes from the mounting plate 63 and extends along the front edge of the mounting plate 63. The rear edge of the stopper 64 is formed with an arc-shaped inner peripheral surface 642, which is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the base 42 of the dish 4. Circular through-holes 69 are formed near the outer edges on both sides of the mounting plate 63.

[0024] Furthermore, a recess 635 having a rectangular shape in plan view is formed on the top surface of the mounting plate 63 rearward of the center in the front-to-rear direction, and an actuator 8 (described later) is disposed in this recess 635. A plurality of elongated through-holes 636 extending in the front-to-rear direction are formed in the bottom surface of this recess 635, and as will be described later, protrusions 811 of the actuator 8 are inserted into these through-holes 636. The platform 42 of the dish 4 is sandwiched between the second inner circumferential surface 642 of the stopper 64 and the actuator 8, as will be described later, thereby holding the dish 4 on the mounting table 6. The position where the dish 4 is placed at this time is referred to as the mounting position. Figures 3 and 4 show the dish 4 in the mounting position.

[0025] 8 and 9, the pair of support pieces 67 described above are attached to the mounting plate 63 so as to sandwich the recess 635, and extend upward from the mounting plate 63. A through-hole 671 is formed at the upper end of each support piece 67, and the protrusion 73 of the lid body 7 is rotatably inserted into this through-hole 671 so that the lid body 7 can be opened and closed. In other words, the support pieces 67 function as hinges for opening and closing the lid body 7 relative to the mounting portion 62.

[0026] <4-2. Lid> FIG. 10 is a side view of the lid. As shown in FIG. 10, the lid 7 includes a dome-shaped lid main body 71 and a pair of left and right arm pieces 72 extending downward from the rear end of the lid main body 71, which are integrally formed. The lid main body 71 and the arm pieces 72 are made of a transparent synthetic resin material, allowing the interior to be seen from the outside. The aforementioned protrusion 73 is formed near the upper end of each arm piece 72, and each protrusion 73 is rotatably fitted into the through-hole 671 of the support piece 67 of the mounting portion 62. Each protrusion 73 protrudes in the left-right direction, allowing the lid 7 to rotate about a pivot L (see FIG. 4, etc.) that passes through both protrusions 73 and extends in the left-right direction, thereby enabling it to be opened and closed relative to the mounting plate 63.

[0027] Furthermore, an oblong notch 75 extending upward is formed at the lower end of each arm piece 72. A connecting shaft 85 of the actuator 8, which will be described later, is inserted into this notch 75.

[0028] The outer diameter of the lid 7 is approximately the same as the outer diameter of the mounting plate 63. As shown in FIG. 3, when the lid 7 is closed, the lower edge of the lid 7 is positioned above the periphery of the mounting plate 63, leaving a gap. A plate 4 is placed in this gap. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, an arc-shaped notch 76 is formed in the lower edge of the front of the lid 7, allowing the placed plate 4 to be grasped through this notch 76. A through-hole 77 is formed in the top of the lid 7, and a label 79 indicating the type of food or drink contained in each lid 7 is attached to this through-hole 77. This label 79 can indicate the type of sushi, such as tuna or sea bream.

[0029] <4-3. Opening and closing mechanism> 4 and 6, the opening / closing mechanism 80 includes an actuator 8 placed on the mounting plate 63, and a coil spring (biasing means) 83 for biasing the actuator 8 forward.

[0030] First, the actuator 8 will be described. FIG. 11 shows a plan view (a), a side view (b), and a bottom view (c) of the actuator. As shown in FIG. 11, the actuator 8 is disposed in the recess 635 of the mounting plate 63 and includes a plate-shaped main body 81 that slides in the front-rear direction within the recess 635, and a support portion 82 that protrudes upward from the rear of the main body 81. The support portion 82 is formed in a rectangular shape in a plan view, but the front portion is formed with an inner peripheral surface 821 that is recessed in an arc shape toward the rear, and this inner peripheral surface 821 is configured to contact the outer peripheral surface of the platform 42 of the dish 4. In other words, the platform 42 of the dish 4 is sandwiched between the inner peripheral surface 821 of the actuator 8 and the second inner peripheral surface 642 of the stopper 64.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 11( c), a plurality of protrusions 811 extending in the front-rear direction are formed on the underside of the main body 81. As described above, these protrusions 811 are fitted into through-holes 634 formed in the bottom surface of the recessed portion 635 of the mounting plate 63. This allows the main body 81 to slide in the front-rear direction while being guided by the protrusions 811 and the through-holes 634. As shown in FIG. 4 and other figures, the coil spring 83 described above is attached between a central protrusion 811a in the left-right direction among the plurality of protrusions 811 and an attachment portion 638 formed on the underside of the mounting plate 63, further forward than the protrusion 811a. The coil spring 83 constantly biases the actuator 8 forward. However, as shown in FIG. 14 (described later), the main body 81 of the actuator 8 is disposed in the recessed portion 635 of the mounting plate 63. The front wall of the recessed portion 635 acts as a stopper, so that although the actuator 8 is biased forward, the front wall prevents it from moving further forward.

[0032] 11, protrusions 84 extending diagonally upward toward the rear are formed on both sides of the rear end of the support portion 82. A connecting shaft 85 extending in the left-right direction is formed near the upper end of each protrusion 84, and each connecting shaft 85 is inserted into a notch 75 formed in the arm piece 72 of the cover 7 and is movable within the notch 75. The connecting shaft 85 is inserted into the notch 75 below the pivot axis L.

[0033] Next, the opening and closing of the lid body by the actuator will be described. Figure 12 shows the lid body in a closed state, and Figure 13 shows the lid body in an open state. Figures 12 and 13 mainly show the lid body 7 and the actuator body 8, and for ease of explanation, the support piece 67 of the mounting base 6 is omitted.

[0034] The actuator 8 is constantly biased forward by the coil spring 83, and therefore, as shown in Figure 12, when no external force is acting, the actuator 8 is in contact with the front wall of the recess 635. As a result, the connecting shaft 85 pushes the lower end of the arm piece 72 forward. In other words, the connecting shaft 85 presses the lower end of the arm piece 72 forward below the pivot axis L, causing the lid 7 to swing upward around the swing axis L and enter an open state. Since the actuator 8 is constantly biased forward by the coil spring 83, the lid 7 is initially in an open state.

[0035] From this state, when the actuator 8 is moved rearward against the coil spring 83, the connecting shaft 85 pushes the arm piece 72 rearward, as shown in Figure 13. As a result, the cover 7 is pressed rearward below the pivot axis L, so it swings downward about the pivot axis L and enters the closed state. During this process, the connecting shaft 85 moves upward within the notch 75 of the arm piece 72.

[0036] <5. How to use the container> Next, we will explain how to use the container 5. First, a chef places food (not shown), such as sushi, on the tray plate 41 of the dish 4. Then, the chef holds the rim of the tray plate 41 and places the dish 4 on the open container 5 placed on the conveyor path 1. That is, from the state shown in FIG. 6 , the dish 4 is pushed backward against the placement plate 63. At this time, the platform 42 of the dish 4 comes into contact with the inner circumferential surface 821 of the actuator 8, pushing the dish 4 and the actuator 8 backward. Then, when the platform 42 of the dish 4 engages with the second inner circumferential surface 642 of the stopper 64, the platform 42 is held between the actuator 8 and the stopper 64. During this process, the actuator 8 moves backward, causing the lid 7 to swing downward and enter the closed state, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 . As a result, the top of the dish 4 is covered by the lid 7, protecting the sushi and preventing dust and other particles from adhering to it. However, because the lid 7 is transparent, the sushi inside can be seen from the outside. The actuator 8 is biased forward by the coil spring 83, so the base 42 of the plate 4 is pushed into the actuator 8. Therefore, the base 42 is firmly held between the actuator 8 and the stopper 64. As a result, the lid 7 is held in the closed state and will not open accidentally.

[0037] The container 5 with the dish 4 thus placed therein is transported along the transport path 1, and the customer removes the dish 4 from the container 5 at the table 31. That is, from the state shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 , the customer inserts his or her fingers through the notch 76 in the lid 7, grasps the dish plate 41 with his or her fingers, and pushes it upward. As a result, the platform 42 is released from the stopper 64, and the actuator 8 pushes the platform 42 forward. In this process, the actuator 8 moves forward, and the lid 7 swings upward and opens. In this state, the customer can remove the dish 4 from the container 5 while still grasping the dish plate 41.

[0038] <6. Lottery Materials> 14 is a bottom view of the lottery member, FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 14, and FIG. 16 is a plan view of the lottery member.

[0039] As shown in Figures 14 to 16, this lottery member 9 comprises a disk-shaped main body 91 having a first surface 911 and a second surface 912, a sheet-shaped first decorative member 92 attached to the first surface 911 of the main body 91, and a sheet-shaped second decorative member 93 attached to the second surface 912 of the main body 91.

[0040] The main body 91 is formed of an elastic material such as resin or rubber so that it can be attached to the platform 42 by elastic deformation. The outer diameter of the main body 91 increases from the first surface 911 to the second surface 912. Therefore, the outer peripheral surface of the main body 91 is formed in a tapered shape. The outer peripheral surface of the main body 91 is formed so as to closely contact the inner wall surface of the platform 42 of the dish 4. As shown in FIG. 17 , which will be described later, the inner wall surface of the platform 42 is formed in a tapered shape so that the inner diameter decreases as it approaches the dish plate 41. Therefore, the outer diameter of the second surface 912 of the main body 91 is smaller than the inner diameter D of the lowermost part of the platform 42, and the outer diameter of the first surface 911 of the main body 91 is larger than the inner diameter D of the lowermost part of the platform 42. This makes it easy to insert the lottery member 9 into the platform 42 and fix it to the platform 42 by elastic deformation.

[0041] A circular through-hole 913 is formed in the center of the main body 91. The diameter of this through-hole 913 on the first surface 911 side is smaller than the diameter on the second surface 912 side. Therefore, the inner wall surface of the through-hole 913 is formed in a tapered shape such that the diameter increases from the first surface 911 toward the second surface 912 side.

[0042] The first and second decorative members 92, 93 are sheet-like members formed from a decorative material that has a glossy finish or that has been given designs such as colors, letters, or figures, and are attached with an adhesive or the like to the first surface 911 and the second surface 922 of the main body 91. A through-hole 921 is formed in the center of the first decorative member 92 so as to correspond to the opening of the through-hole 913 formed in the first surface 911 of the main body 91. Meanwhile, the through-hole 913 of the main body 91 is blocked by the second decorative member 93 on the second surface 912.

[0043] The thickness of the lottery member 9 is smaller than the height of the inside of the platform 42.

[0044] The lottery member 9 configured as above is attached to the tray 4 as follows. First, as shown in Fig. 17, the second decorative member 93 is faced toward the tray plate 41, and the lottery member 9 is pushed into the base 42. As a result, as shown in Figs. 18 and 19, the outer peripheral surface of the main body 91 comes into close contact with the inner wall surface of the base 42, and the lottery member 9 is fixed to the base 42. At this time, because the thickness of the lottery member 9 is smaller than the height of the inside of the base 42, the lottery member 9 can be attached inside the base 42 so that it cannot be seen from the outside.

[0045] On the other hand, to remove the lottery member 9 from the platform 42, fingers are hooked into the through holes 921 and 913 and pulled downward, as shown in Figure 20. This causes the lottery member 9 to be removed from the platform 42.

[0046] <7. How to use the lottery materials> Next, a method for using the lottery member 9 configured as described above will be explained. First, a plurality of containers 5 are transported along the transport path 1. Each container 5 contains plates 4 on which food and drink are placed. Furthermore, as described above, some of the plates 4 have lottery members 9 attached to them. That is, the store staff randomly attaches lottery members 9 to a plurality of plates 4 in advance at a predetermined ratio, and then transports these plates 4 along the transport path 1. However, because the lottery members 9 are attached inside the pedestal 42, it is not possible to tell from the outside whether or not the lottery members 9 are attached when the plates 4 are contained in the container 5.

[0047] When the customer takes out the dish 4 from the container 5, it is only at that point that the customer can visually confirm whether or not the lottery member 9 is attached.

[0048] Thereafter, if the customer finds that the lottery element 9 is attached to the dish 4, he or she can remove the lottery element 9 from the dish 4 and ask the store clerk for a reward. The reward is not particularly limited and can take various forms. For example, a discount on the fee, the provision of a gift certificate, the provision of a discount coupon, the provision of a product, etc. etc. It can be said that:

[0049] The lottery member 9 can also be used like a coin or a medal. For example, a game machine can be installed in a store, and a player can play the game by inserting the lottery member 9. Alternatively, a product providing device such as a vending machine can be installed, and a player can obtain a desired product by inserting the lottery member 9.

[0050] <8. Features> In this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

[0051] (1) Since multiple plates 4 are transported on the transport path 1, if the lottery elements 9 are attached randomly to the plates 4, the lottery elements 9 can be provided to customers with a predetermined probability. As a result, a playful element can be added to the provision of food and drink. In particular, since the lottery elements 9 attached inside the base 42 of the plate 4 cannot be seen from the outside, the element of lottery can be ensured.

[0052] (2) In this embodiment, a display indicating a win is not directly attached to the dish 4, but a detachable lottery member 9 is attached to the dish 4. Therefore, there is no need to prepare a special winning dish, and a winning dish can be made simply by attaching the lottery member 9 to the dish 4. Furthermore, if a winning display is directly attached to the dish, if the display deteriorates, it will be necessary to reapply the display or, in some cases, replace the dish. However, by using the lottery member 9 of this embodiment, such trouble can be eliminated. Therefore, there is no need to manage the dishes directly, and winning dishes can be managed by managing the lottery member 9, making it easy to manage winning dishes.

[0053] (3) The lottery member 9 is made of an elastically deformable material, and therefore can be easily attached by pressing it into the platform 42 without using adhesive means such as double-sided tape.

[0054] (4) The through holes 913 and 921 are formed in the lottery member 9, so that the lottery member 9 can be easily removed from the dish 4 by hooking a finger therethrough.

[0055] (5) The decorative members 92 and 93 are attached to the lottery member 9, which enhances the decorativeness of the lottery member 9, making it easier for customers to visually recognize that they have won.

[0056] <9. Variations> Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. The following modifications can be combined as appropriate, and can also be combined with the above embodiment.

[0057] (1) In the above embodiment, the plates 4 are provided in the containers 5, but this is not limiting, and the plates 4 can also be directly transported on the transport path 1. Even in this case, the lottery members 9 are hidden by the pedestals 42 and cannot be seen from the outside, so the ability to draw a lottery can be ensured.

[0058] (2) The configuration of the lottery member 9 is not particularly limited, and the size, shape, thickness, etc. can be changed as appropriate as long as it can be detachably attached to the platform 42. Therefore, for example, the outer diameter of the lottery member 9 may be smaller than the inner diameter of the platform 42. In addition, in the above embodiment, the lottery member 9 is formed by the main body 91 and the first and second decorative members 92, 93, but this is not limited to this, and the lottery member 9 can be changed as appropriate as long as it can be detachably attached to the platform 42. For example, an elastic member such as rubber may be attached to the outer peripheral surface of the main body 41, thereby enabling it to be detachably attached to the platform 42. The lottery member 9 can also be formed from a single elastic member. In addition, the platform may be cylindrical or polygonal, in which case the lottery member can be formed to match that shape.

[0059] In the above embodiment, the through holes 913, 931 are formed to make it easier to remove the lottery member 9 from the platform 42, but other than these, recesses or cutouts may also be used. Furthermore, the through holes, recesses and cutouts are not necessarily required, and may not be provided.

[0060] (3) In the above embodiment, the lottery member 9 is attached to the dish 4 by elastically deforming it, but the method of attachment to the dish 4 is not limited to this.
