TITLE

FACILITY EQUIPPED FOR THE STORAGE, PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION OF PRODUCTS

FOOD

DESCRIPTION

This patent relates to structures and equipment also for the conservation, processing and preparation of food products and in particular it concerns a structure equipped for the storage, preparation and administration of food products, for the diffusion of sounds and music, for the display of photos and films, for the use of telematic information technology services, particularly for trade fair stands, exhibitions, meeting rooms and conferences.

During trade fairs, conferences and meetings, food and drink products are prepared and consumed, such as coffee, fruit juices, croissants, pizzas and other similar foods and drinks.

At trade fairs there are normally, within each pavilion, bars or refreshment points fully equipped for the preparation and administration of the aforementioned foods and drinks.

It is difficult for the operators of each exhibition stand to be absent to go to the bars and refreshment points.

Often at each exhibition stand there is the need to prepare and distribute drinks and food to visitors to facilitate their stop and stay at the exhibition stand itself.

The food and drinks distributed to visitors to the exhibition stands are stored in a refrigerator or cabinet, heated and / or prepared with an electric or microwave oven, while for the preparation of coffee, tea and similar beverages, pod coffee machines are used. .

This means that inside the exhibition stand, preferably in an inconspicuous area, there are a small refrigerator, electric and microwave ovens and a coffee machine. All such appliances and furniture are normally sold, distributed and mounted separately inside the exhibition stand with consequent problems of space occupied by the appliances themselves, of space necessary for the preparation of portions, and problems of electrical connection.

Exhibition stands often play pre-recorded music, sounds or messages. Consequently, they must equip themselves, set up and connect music and sound players and speakers.

The exhibition stands often use one or more screens or displays, connected with reproducers of images, films and DVD players in general, to illustrate the product or service offered, so as to attract the attention of visitors and potential customers.

These screens or displays, whether they are touch-screens or equipped with keyboard and mouse, are also used, together with a computer in an invisible position, to allow the visitor to interact with the images, videos and information of the products or services offered. .

Often in the exhibition stands there is a need to have a computer connected to the Internet, so as to allow operators and / or visitors to interact with the headquarters of their company, to obtain information of another type, or other.

Conventions, meetings, workshops, training sessions are often organized in meeting rooms rented for the occasion or set up in a room normally used for another purpose and therefore not equipped for food and drinks.

Consequently, people have to go out and go to a nearby bar, with discomfort for moving and wasting time, or drinks and food are normally requested and brought from a nearby bar, with the need to ask people for their orders and then having to wait for the delivery of food and drinks.

The present patent relates to a new equipped structure suitable for the storage, preparation and administration of food products, suitable for providing passive and active multimedia services.

One purpose of the new structure is to reduce the time and costs of installing and connecting all equipment.

Another purpose of the new structure is to organically organize the spaces for both household appliances and work spaces.

Another purpose of the new structure is to arrange the various objects, tools, household appliances, in optimized positions to facilitate the preparation of food products by limiting movement. Another purpose of the new structure is to reduce the time and costs of installing and connecting video, audio and telematic equipment.

Another purpose of the new structure is to allow its easy positioning and connection for its use and its removal at the end of its use.

These and other direct and complementary purposes are achieved by the new equipped structure comprising a substantially vertical structure formed by horizontal and vertical walls joined together to determine

- at least a first lower compartment for storing or housing equipment of little use;

- at least a second intermediate compartment particularly for supporting objects and / or tools, for preparation or manipulation, for housing frequently used equipment, for housing visual peripherals, for housing peripherals of interaction;

- at least a third upper compartment particularly for housing equipment of little use, housing equipment generally for defrosting and / or cooking and / or heating, housing for displays and / or loudspeakers.

The first lower compartment preferably houses appliances for storage, refrigeration or cooling, or equipment that is scarcely or not at all used directly by people such as a refrigerator or a wine cellar, a water tank, a compartment for beverage drums, a manufacturer freezer. of ice cubes, the central unit of a computer, a music or movie player.

The second intermediate compartment preferably houses a coffee machine, a keyboard and mouse, a touch-screen screen, one or more dispensers for drinks coming from drums or containers housed in the first lower compartment.

The third upper compartment preferably houses an electric oven, a microwave oven, a screen, one or more acoustic diffusers.

The new structure is envisaged to comprise a closure, preferably a rolling shutter or gate, suitable for closing the third upper compartment and the second intermediate compartment at the front.

At least one drawer and at least one extractable shelf are provided, preferably placed between the first lower compartment and the second intermediate compartment.

There are touch-screen displays applied on the side walls, at an optimal height for viewing and tactile interaction by people.

Acoustic diffusers are provided positioned and / or housed in the side walls, in the rear wall, in the second intermediate compartment.

Luminous points are provided to illuminate at least the second intermediate compartment, the area surrounding the equipped structure, the walls of the equipped structure.

It is possible to foresee that at least one of the walls of the new equipped structure bear decorations, writings, slogans, emblems or other.

The characteristics of the new equipped structure will be better clarified by the following description with reference to the drawing table, attached as a non-limiting example.

In this example reference is made to a structure equipped for the storage, preparation and administration of food products but the considerations can be adequate for other purposes and / or equipment that can be housed in / on the new equipped structure.
