DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] [Embodiment] As shown in Figure 1, the sushi counter 10 according to this embodiment comprises a tabletop, a base, and multiple legs. The base is attached to the tabletop so that its top surface is positioned higher than the top surface of the tabletop. The base is also arranged along one edge of the tabletop in the width direction 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 storage position and a usage position.

[0010] Therefore, with the sushi counter 10 of 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 setup. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 6 denotes a chair, and reference numeral 8 denotes a dipping counter used by sushi chefs. The sushi counter 10 of this embodiment can be used together with the chairs 6, dipping counter 8, etc. to form the interior of a sushi restaurant.

[0011] Sushi counter 10 according to this embodiment will be described in detail below. Figure 2A shows a plan view of sushi counter 10 according to this embodiment. Figure 2B shows a front view of sushi counter 10 according to this embodiment. While sushi counter 10 according to this disclosure may consist of only one counter, this embodiment will be described using an example consisting of multiple counters, as shown in Figure 2.

[0012] 2A and 2B, sushi counter 10 according to this embodiment is made up of multiple counters connected together. Sushi counter 10 has the following 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 this order in one direction.

[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 forms one longitudinal end of sushi counters 10, which are lined up in one direction.

[0015] Referring to FIG. 3, the first tabletop 11 is the 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. In a plan view, the first tabletop 11 is formed in a rectangular shape having a length in the first direction and a width in the second direction. In the present disclosure, "length" is longer than "width". Examples of materials for the first tabletop 11 include wood, synthetic resin, metal, and glass.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 4, the first tabletop 11 has a connecting portion 14 used to connect with the adjacent tabletop of the second counter 2 (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the second tabletop 21). The connecting portion 14 is formed by a rib piece that protrudes downward from the end in the first direction of the flat tabletop 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 connecting portion 14 of first table top 11 and connecting portion 24 of second table top 21 are placed opposite each other, the through hole formed in connecting portion 14 of first table top 11 is arranged coaxially with the through hole formed in connecting portion 24 of second table top 21. In this state, adjacent connecting portions 14, 24 are connected to each other by passing connecting members 7 such as bolts through the through holes. This makes it easier to keep the top surfaces of adjacent table tops 11, 21 flush with each other, and also makes it easier 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 hexagon bolt, a hexagon socket head cap screw, 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 made. The first table 12 may be used to place sushi directly, sushi clogs, plates, or sake bottles or other sake vessels.

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

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

[0022] In a plan view, the first attachment table 12 is positioned along one widthwise edge of the first top panel 11. In this embodiment, the widthwise edge of the first attachment table 12 on the side where the sushi chef is located and the widthwise edge of the first top panel 11 on the side where the sushi chef is located (i.e., the rear side) are aligned in a plan 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 panel 11 on the sushi chef side and the rear face 123 of the first attachment table 12. However, the rear face 123 of the first attachment table 12 does not necessarily have to be aligned with the end face of the first top panel 11 on the sushi chef side in a plan view; it may be positioned on the customer side. The first attachment table 12 is preferably positioned closer to the sushi chef than the center of the widthwise direction of the first top panel 11.

[0023] The plurality of first legs 13 support the first tabletop 11. The plurality of 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, a plurality of connectors 132 connecting the pair of pillars 131, and a plurality of diagonal braces 133 provided corresponding to each pillar 131. As shown in FIG. 3C, each first leg 13 is formed so as to be switchable between a storage position and a use position.

[0024] The pillar body 131 extends in the vertical direction when in the use position. The pillar body 131 includes a mounting bracket 134 fixed to the underside of the first table top 11, and a pillar body main body 135 rotatably attached to the mounting bracket 134. The rotation axis of the pillar body main body 135 is parallel to the second direction (the width direction of the first table top 11). The pillar body main body 135 when 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 rests on the installation surface. The pillar body main body 135 when in the storage position is disposed along the underside of the first table top 11. In this embodiment, the pillar body main body 135 when in the storage position extends parallel to the upper surface 122 of the first table top 11.

[0025] The connectors 132 connect a pair of adjacent pillars 131 in the second direction. The connectors 132 extend in the second direction. The multiple connectors 132 are arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the pillars 131. Because 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 use position simply by applying force to one of the pair of pillars 131 or the connector 132.

[0026] The diagonal brace 133 is placed across the column 131 and the first top plate 11 at the corner formed by 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 bends in the middle in the longitudinal direction.

[0027] Referring to FIG. 3B, the first legs 13 are spaced apart in the first direction. The longitudinal end of the first tabletop 11 without an adjacent counter is referred to as the "first end T1," and the end with an adjacent counter is referred to as the "second end T2." At the first counter 1, the minimum distance D1 from the first end T1 to the first legs 13 is shorter than the minimum distance D2 from the second end T2 to the first legs 13. While there are no particular limitations on the distance D2, 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 reduces the risk of losing the sense of stability of the counter installation, and allows customers between adjacent counters to easily insert their legs between the first legs 13 and the second legs 23.

[0028] FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of the first counter 1 with a partition 16 attached thereto. Referring to FIG. 5, an attachment portion 15 is provided on the end face of the first tabletop 11 in the width direction, facing the same direction as the rear surface 123 of the first tabletop 12. The partition 16 is removably attached to the attachment portion 15. Examples of attachment portion 15 include hook-and-loop fasteners, buttons, magnets, hooks, and snaps. The partition 16 extends downward from the first tabletop 11 and can separate the seating area from the customer space. The partition 16 is formed in a flexible curtain shape. The partition 16 being formed in a curtain shape makes it easy to transport. However, the partition 16 may also 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 counter top 21, a base (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the second base 22), and multiple legs (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the second legs 23). The second counter 2 also comprises a partition 16. The second counter 2 constitutes the middle section in the longitudinal direction of the sushi counters 10, which are lined up in one direction. The middle section refers to the section between both ends in one direction, i.e., the section other than the ends. The second counter 2 is largely the same as the first counter 1. Therefore, 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.

[0031] The second tabletop 21 has a connecting portion 24 at one end in the longitudinal direction for connecting to the first counter 1. The second tabletop 21 has a connecting portion 24 at the other end in the longitudinal direction for connecting to the third counter 3. The structure of the connecting portion 24 of the second tabletop 21 is the same as the structure of the connecting portion 14 of the first counter 1.

[0032] As shown in Fig. 2, the minimum distance from one longitudinal end of second tabletop 21 to one of second legs 23 is the same as the minimum distance from the other longitudinal end of second tabletop 21 to the other second leg 23. In this embodiment, the minimum distance from one longitudinal end of second tabletop 21 to one of second legs 23 is the same as distance D2 (see Fig. 3B) in first counter 1. Here, "the same distance" means a distance that can be considered the same; 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 base (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the third base 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 that are lined up in one direction. The second counter 2 is mostly the same as the second counter 2. Therefore, repeated explanations will be omitted.

[0034] The third tabletop 31 has the same structure as the second tabletop 21. The third mount 32 has the same structure as the second mount 22. The third leg 33 has the same structure as the second leg 23.

[0035] The third tabletop 31 has a connecting portion 34 at one longitudinal end for connecting to the second counter 2. The third tabletop 31 has a connecting portion 34 at the other longitudinal end for connecting to the fourth counter 4. The structure of the connecting portion 34 of the third tabletop 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 tabletop 31 is connected to the connecting portion 24 of the second tabletop 21, it becomes easier to keep the upper surface of the third tabletop 31 flush with the upper surface of the second tabletop 21, and it becomes easier to keep the upper surface of the third mounting base 32 flush with the upper surface 222 of the second mounting base 22.

[0036] (4th Counter 4) The fourth counter 4 comprises a top plate (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the fourth top plate 41), a base (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the fourth base 42), and multiple legs (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the fourth legs 43). The fourth counter 4 also comprises a partition 16. The fourth counter 4 forms the end of the sushi counters 10 lined up in one direction, opposite the first counter 1 in the longitudinal direction. The fourth counter 4 is symmetrical to the first counter 1 with respect to a plane of symmetry perpendicular to the first direction. Therefore, redundant explanations will be omitted.

[0037] The fourth tabletop 41 has the same structure as the first tabletop 11. The fourth mount 42 has the same structure as the first mount 12. The fourth leg 43 has the same structure as the first leg 13.

[0038] The fourth tabletop 41 has a connecting portion 44 at one end in the longitudinal direction for connecting to the third counter 3. The structure of the connecting portion 44 of the fourth tabletop 41 is the same as the structure of the connecting portion 14 of the first counter 1. When the connecting portion 44 of the fourth tabletop 41 and the connecting portion 34 of the third tabletop 31 are connected, it becomes easier to keep the upper surface of the fourth tabletop 41 flush with the upper surface of the third tabletop 31, and it becomes easier to keep the upper surface of the fourth mounting base 42 flush with the upper surface of the third mounting base 32.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 2, the minimum distance from one end of the fourth tabletop 41 that constitutes the end of the sushi counter 10 to the second leg 23 in the longitudinal direction is shorter than the minimum distance from the other end of the fourth tabletop 41 to the second leg 23.

[0040] <Usage example> In the above embodiment, the first counter 1 to the fourth counter 4 are arranged in a straight line, but the sushi counter 10 may also be used in a manner as shown in FIG.

[0041] Referring to Figure 6, the row consisting of the first counter 1, the second counter 2, and the third counter 3 is referred to as the "first row L1," and the row consisting of the fourth counter 4 is referred to as the "second row L2." The longitudinal direction of the second row L2 intersects with the longitudinal direction of the first row L1. The first row L1 and the second row L2 are connected by a corner counter 5.

[0042] As shown in Fig. 6B, corner counter 5 includes corner top plate 51, corner mounting base 52, and corner legs 53 attached to corner top plate 51. Corner top plate 51 is formed in a generally square shape when viewed from above. The shape of corner top plate 51 is not limited to a generally square shape when viewed from above, and it may also be formed in a fan shape or a right-angled triangle shape.

[0043] Corner tabletop 51 has connecting portion 54 used to connect to an adjacent tabletop. Connecting portion 54 has the same structure as connecting portion 14 of first counter 1.

[0044] 7, the corner top plate 51 has a storage recess 511 for storing the corner legs 53. The storage recess 511 is formed so as to be recessed in the underside of the corner top plate 51, and is capable of storing the corner legs 53. A plurality of holders 512 for holding the corner legs 53 stored in the storage recess 511 are attached to the storage recess 511.

[0045] 7, the corner top plate 51 has mounting screws 513 to which the corner legs 53 are removably attached. The mounting screws 513 protrude downward from the corners of the corner top plate 51.

[0046] The corner legs 53 support the corner top plate 51. The corner legs 53 are formed in the shape of columns extending in the vertical direction. A screw hole is formed at the upper end of the corner legs 53. The corner legs 53 are attached to the corner top plate 51 by screwing mounting screws 513 into the screw holes.

[0047] Referring to FIG. 6, the corner mounting stand 52 is disposed between a mounting stand in the first row L1 (here, the third mounting stand 32) and a mounting stand in the second row L2 (here, the fourth mounting stand 42). When the corner counter 5 is attached between the first row L1 and the second row L2, the upper surface of the corner mounting stand 52 is located on the same plane as the upper surfaces of the mounting stands in the first row L1 and the second row L2. In this embodiment, the upper surface of the corner mounting stand 52 is flush with the upper surfaces of the mounting stands in the first row L1 and the second row L2. Furthermore, when the corner counter 5 is attached between the first row L1 and the second row L2, the upper surface of the corner top plate 51 is located on the same plane, more specifically, flush with the upper surfaces of the top plates in the first row L1 and the second row L2.

[0048] As shown in FIG. 8A, the sushi counter 10 may have a first row L1 made up of a first counter 1 and a second counter 2, and a second row L2 made up of a third counter 3 and a fourth counter 4.

[0049] 8B, the sushi counter 10 may be configured with two first rows L1, one second row L2, and two corner counters 5, forming a roughly U-shape in plan view. In this case, one of the two first rows L1 is configured with a first counter 1, and the other first row L1 is configured with a fourth counter 4. The second row L2 is configured with a second counter 2 and a third counter 3.

[0050] [Modification] The above embodiment is merely one of various embodiments of the present disclosure. The embodiment can be modified in various ways depending on the design, etc., as long as the object of the present disclosure can be achieved. Modifications of the embodiment are listed below. The modifications described below can be applied in appropriate combinations.

[0051] In the sushi counter 10 according to the above embodiment, one divider 16 is attached to each counter, but dividers 16 may be attached across multiple counters. Also, adjacent dividers 16 may partially overlap.

[0052] The sushi counter 10 in the above-described embodiment and modified examples is formed in an I-shape, an L-shape, or a U-shape in plan view, but it may also be formed in an O-shape or a T-shape in plan view, for example.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the legs of each counter are folded to switch between the storage position and the usage position, but multiple legs may be removably attached to the tabletop. In this case, similar to the structure of the corner counter 5, the tabletop may be positioned in the usage position by attaching the legs to the tabletop, and in the storage position by removing the legs.

[0054] Each leg has a pair of pillars 131, but each leg may also be formed in a plate shape.

[0055] In the above embodiment, the sushi counter 10 is made up of four connected counters, but it may also be made up of only one counter, or five or more connected counters.

[0056] In the above embodiment, the legs are such that the connector 132 connects a pair of pillars 131 at a position upward from the lower ends of the pillars 131, but the connector 132 may also connect the lower ends of the pillars 131 together and rest on the installation surface.

[0057] 〔summary〕 As explained above, the sushi counter 10 of the first embodiment comprises a countertop, a base attached to the countertop with its upper surface positioned higher than the upper surface of the countertop and positioned along one edge of the countertop in the width direction in a plan view, and a number of legs attached to the countertop. The legs are configured to be switchable between a storage position and a usage position.

[0058] With this configuration, sushi counter 10 can be brought into the installation space with the legs in the retracted position, and then simply moved to the operating position to set up sushi counter 10. Therefore, with sushi counter 10 of this configuration, the labor required for bringing it into the installation space and setting it up can be reduced.

[0059] In the second aspect of the sushi counter 10, the sushi trays are formed integrally with the top plate of the first aspect. In this way, the sushi counter 10 with sushi trays can be set up simply by installing the top plate.

[0060] The sushi counter 10 of the third aspect, as in the first or second aspect, has multiple countertops, each with a connecting part that connects adjacent countertops. This reduces the labor required to transport and set up the sushi counter 10, regardless of its size. Furthermore, by connecting adjacent countertops with connecting parts, it is easier to keep the top surfaces of adjacent countertops flush with each other.

[0061] The fourth aspect of the sushi counter 10, which is any one of the first to third aspects, includes a first row L1 with at least one counter having a tabletop, a base, and multiple legs; a second row L2 with at least one counter having a different tabletop, base, and multiple legs from the first row L1, whose longitudinal direction intersects with the longitudinal direction of the first row L1; and a corner counter 5 connecting the first row L1 and the second row L2. This aspect allows for the sushi counters 10 to be arranged, for example, in an L shape, allowing for a wide variety of sushi counters 10 to be constructed.

[0062] In the sushi counter 10 according to the fifth aspect, the corner counter 5 in the fourth aspect has a corner top plate 51 and corner legs 53 attached to the corner top plate 51. This aspect reduces the labor required to transport and install the corner counter 5 in the installation space.

[0063] In the sushi counter 10 according to the sixth aspect, the corner legs 53 of the fifth aspect are removably attached to the corner top plate 51, and the underside of the corner top plate 51 has a storage recess 511 that can store the removed corner legs 53. According to this aspect, the corner counter 5 can be transported in a compact state.

[0064] In the seventh aspect of the sushi counter 10, which is one of the first to sixth aspects, the corner counter 5 is positioned between the sushi trays in the first row L1 and the sushi trays in the second row L2, and has a corner sushi tray 52 attached to the corner top plate 51. The top surface 122 of the corner sushi tray 51 is flush with the top surfaces 122 of the sushi trays in the first row L1 and the top surfaces of the sushi trays in the second row L2, and the top surface of the corner sushi tray 52 is flush with the top surfaces 122 of the sushi trays in the first row L1 and the top surfaces of the sushi trays in the second row L2. This aspect makes it easy to install continuous sushi trays.

[0065] The eighth aspect of the sushi counter 10 is a variation of any one of the fourth to seventh aspects, in that the first row L1 is connected to both longitudinal ends of the second row L2 via corner counters 5, forming a roughly U-shaped counter in plan view. This aspect allows for a wide variety of sushi counters 10 to be constructed.

[0066] In the ninth aspect of the sushi counter 10, as in any one of the third to eighth aspects, multiple tabletops are connected in a straight line, and the shortest distance from a first longitudinal end to a leg of a tabletop that constitutes an end of the tabletops is shorter than the shortest distance from a second longitudinal end connected to the adjacent tabletop to the leg. This aspect reduces the risk of compromising the stability of the counter installation, and makes it easier for customers seated at adjacent ends to insert their legs between the legs of the adjacent counters.
