Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Tafelsatz, der im Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 erläuterten Art.The invention relates to a table set which explained in the preamble of claim 1 Art.

Ein derartiger Tafelaufsatz ist z.B. in Form einer sogenannter Etagere aus der FR-A-2534796 bekannt, die einen stabförmigen Mittelträger aufweist, an dem Halter für unterschiedliche große Servierschälchen mit Abstand übereinanderliegend unlösbar befestigt sind. In die Halter werden Servierschälchen lösbar eingesetzt. Diese Tafelaufsätze sind jedoch speziell für Esstische konzipiert, wo jeder Nutzer seinen bestimmten Platz hat und von diesem aus auf den Tafelaufsatz zugreifen kann. Bei Buffets muss jedoch oft mit einem relativ großen Andrang von Gästen gerechnet werden, die sich am Buffet, zum Teil einander übergreifend, bedienen.Such a centerpiece is e.g. in the form of a so-called cake stand from FR-A-2534796 known, which has a rod-shaped central support on the holder for different large serving bowls, fixed one above the other, permanently attached are. Serving bowls are detachably inserted into the holder. These centerpieces are however, specially designed for dining tables, where each user has their specific space and can access the centerpiece from there. At buffets, however, you often have to a relatively large number of guests are expected to be at the buffet Serve part of each other.

Darüber hinaus ist aus dem DE 296 06 699 U1 ein Gestell in Form einer Etagere bekannt, das in Ebenen übereinanderliegende Ausleger aufweist, auf die Servierschälchen auswechselbar aufstellbar sind. Die Etageren sind jedoch von ihrer Aufnahmefähigkeit her begrenzt, da einerseits der Platz um den Träger herum und in übereinanderliegenden Ebenen naturgemäß beschränkt ist und andererseits die Servierschälchen nicht zu schwer sein dürfen. Darüber hinaus können die Etageren nur Servierschälchen gleicher Art und Form aufnehmen, so dass sie nur für die Bereitstellung bestimmter Lebensmittel geeignet sind.In addition, a frame in the form of a cake stand is known from DE 296 06 699 U1, which has cantilevers on top of each other on the serving dishes are interchangeable. The cake stands, however, are receptive limited because on the one hand the space around the beam and in one another Levels are naturally limited and on the other hand the serving bowls are not too may be heavy. In addition, the etageren can only serve serving bowls of the same type Type and shape so that they are only for the provision of certain foods are suitable.

Die US-A-3 194 403 beschreibt eine Serviereinrichtung mit einem Halter in Form eines Mittelstabes, wofür beispielsweise der Stab eines Sonnenschirms eingesetzt werden kann. Auch hier ist jeder der Lebensmittelbehälter nur am Träger zu befestigen.US-A-3 194 403 describes a serving device with a holder in the form of a Central rod, for which the rod of an umbrella is used, for example can. Here too, each of the food containers is only to be attached to the carrier.
