^w Covering for restaurant buffets "

The invention relates to a cover for catering buffets, Consists of a continuous, rustproof sheet with a work surface, a device for removal of the dripping water as well as rinsing tubs arranged on the side.

• ·

In the case of restaurant buffets, there is a requirement that the Rinse water is constantly refreshed and that measures are taken to prevent the ingress of beer foam and spirits contaminated dripping water is prevented in the rinsing tanks, The work surface on which the washed glasses are placed to drain and then filled with beer or spirits must therefore be provided with a separate process.

In a known cover of the type mentioned, the work surface provided with a perforated screen through which the dripping water flows into a drip soldered underneath the cover trough. This known construction is relatively complex and requires a reinforced wooden frame structure, the consists of table or chipboard and with which the cover plate is glued. Another known cover is the work surface in the direction of the sinks inclined and provided with a uniform corrugation in the direction of the incline. At a distance from the rinsing tubs A collecting gutter running across the corrugated plate is soldered in, in which the dripping water is collected and over a j separate drain is transported away. For filling the glasses

j there is only a narrow, flat edge strip available to the host

j the host side available, because on the one with the corrugation

j provided bevel is a filling of the glasses exactly up

! not possible to the calibration mark. Furthermore, there is also this

Cover the disadvantage that the design and manufacture is expensive.

The invention is based on the object of designing a cover of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that with simple Construction and low manufacturing costs a large work

! working area is available.

; According to the invention, this object is achieved in that for ^{: the} removal of the dripping water, a collecting channel is provided which is connected to the work surface on the host side and extends over its entire length and over at least! a connecting line is connected to the termination, and that

j the sheet metal forming the work surface a vertical or im

substantially perpendicular to the collecting channel has corrugation, the elevations of which in a common horizontal

Level Ii eg-an and form the storage area, while the

Depressions are continuously inclined in the direction of the transverse collecting channel and open into this.

The construction according to the invention has the advantage that! : Like the sieve cover, it is almost horizontal over its entire surface and can therefore be optimally used. At the same time, this structure allows an uncomplicated substructure, because the middle part due to the corrugation

ι is self-supporting.

Furthermore, with the construction according to the invention, it is possible to achieve a solder-free, jointless structure. The collecting channel can be in one piece with the one that forms the work surface Sheet metal made and formed by simple, downwardly directed "trough-shaped folds in cross-section." Gen areas of the cover can be integrally formed on the sheet metal.

The cover is preferably provided with an integrally formed, raised edge which surrounds an externally circumferential support frame can be flanged, while the middle area is self-supporting due to the corrugation. On an additional Wooden substructure and the associated cutting processes, adaptation work and the time-consuming gluing can

be waived by.

The connection line emanating from the collecting channel is expediently provided on the side of the washing tubs and opens below the sink outlets into the drain line. The collecting channel expediently has a gradient in the direction of the area from which the connecting line starts.

Furthermore, the collecting channel can be made by a dimensionable sheet metal strip be at least partially coverable so that it is not disruptive to the operator.

The invention is illustrated, for example, in the drawing and in the following in detail with reference to the drawing described. Show it:

Fig. 1 is a plan view of an embodiment of a cover and

FIG. 2 shows, on an enlarged scale, a section along the line H-II from FIG. 1.

The drawing shows a cover for a restaurant bar buffet shown. This consists essentially of a one-piece sheet metal with a work surface 2, lateral Rinsing tubs 4 and a collecting channel 8 provided on the host side 6 and used to remove the dripping water, which extends approximately the entire length of the cover and via a connection line 10 provided on the side of the washing tubs 4 to the one not shown in the drawing Drain is connected. In the middle area of the work surface 2 is on the opposite side of the host Side provided an approximately rectangular opening 12 for the pump, not shown in the drawing.

The work surface 2 is provided with a corrugation 14 which runs perpendicular to the collecting channel 8. The elevations 16

7503874 06/12/75

the corrugation 14 lie in a common horizontal plane and form the storage area. The between the elevations 16 provided recesses 18 open into the collecting channel θ and are continuously inclined in the direction of this. Based on these Construction creates a horizontal work surface while at the same time for a quick drainage of the drip wa3sers into the collecting channel 8 provided on the host side due to the inclination the wells 18 is taken care of.

The collecting channel 8, which consists of one piece with the sheet metal, has a triangular cross-section, of which a corner provided with a corresponding rounding points downwards. This formation of the collecting channel can be produced without problems by simple edging. Around the cover is a Raised edge 20, also made of one piece with the sheet metal, is provided, which is beaded around a circumferential support frame 22 is, wherein the lowermost leg 24 of the edge 20 engages around the respective frame support on its underside. Of the The middle area of the work surface 2 is due to the corrugation 14 sufficiently stable and does not require any further support.

The depressions 18 of the corrugation 14 preferably begin at a distance from the edge opposite the host side 6 and in the area of the collecting channel 8 reach a depth of about 5 mm below the level of the

ι formed horizontal plane. The remaining flat areas the cover, for example on the opposite of the host suite! lying side or around the rinsing tubs can be used in the same Level like the backs of the elevations 16 of the corrugation.

The Sammrlnru 8 can by a removable sheet metal strip 26 preferably in the area of the host's control panel be covered so that it does not have a disruptive effect.
