2. Description of the Related Art A conventional rotary feeder for food such as sushi is provided with a sushi or the like placed on a plate from a cooking place installed in a store and placed on a belt conveyor to be in front of a customer. And feeds the dishes on the conveyor as desired. In a conventional sushi restaurant, a sushi chef holds sushi according to a customer's order and provides it to the customer. Such an ordering method specific to a sushi restaurant has an ordering method for a specific customer, and there is an inconvenience that a family cannot easily enter the restaurant. From this point of view, the food rotary feeding device has been provided as a device for providing the convenience of eating according to taste while watching food such as sushi for the family at hand.

[0003] Such a rotary feeder for food has occupied a large position as a facility installed in the store so that customers can go to the store and eat food, and the feeder has a complicated configuration.

On the other hand, with the recent diversification of dietary habits, opportunities for distributing foods and the like by orders at parties and meetings of many people have increased. However, when distributing such foods etc., labor is required to determine the quantity from the number of people in advance, and for fresh food such as sushi, prepare it several hours before the start of the party. Therefore, there was a problem that the original freshness could not be maintained.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and relates to a portable conveyor device for providing foods to be eaten in a store to an ordering party in accordance with an order. Because it is movable, it can be easily assembled and removed anywhere, so that it can maintain the same freshness as that eaten at a sushi restaurant at a venue such as a party,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a transport device that can supply foods according to the taste of many people.

[0006] For this purpose, the present application provides a drive unit for revolving an endless conveyor, and a straight line in which a plurality of revolving curved portions and a plurality of types having a plurality of different lengths are prepared in advance. And a conveyor having a predetermined length corresponding to an arbitrary selection of the plurality of types of linear portions, and a separation side surface of the frame, which is separated by at least two orbital curved portions and guides the conveyor. A portable conveyor having a locking means and a tension adjusting section for adjusting the tension of the conveyor, whereby conveyors of various lengths can be installed as required and expandable or contractable even after installation. Is provided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing the entirety of the present invention. The main body 1 according to the present invention is provided with a groove which stands on both sides of the conveyor and guides a plate on the conveyor so as to go around the conveyor. Around the guide plate 2 and the groove of the guide plate 2,
It has a crescent conveyor 3 made of, for example, a synthetic resin, which individually rotates on the periphery around the orbital axis according to the curvature on the curvature surface.

The main body 1 is formed, for example, by bending a stainless steel plate material into a rectangular parallelepiped frame, and as shown in FIG. 1, a curved portion (A and B in the drawing) having a predetermined curvature and a straight portion (C in the drawing). ). As shown in the front view of the main body of FIG. 2 and the front view of the main body of FIG. 3, the one-touch key 4 is arranged in two stages in the height direction at the joint where A and C abut. FIG.
The outer circumference of the frame body is determined so as to approximate a dimension that can go around the endless crescent conveyor 3, and the inner circumference forms an idle space when the crescent conveyor 3 is laid on the frame body. Has a double border. The power supply drive unit 14 is formed on the side surface of the frame in the space. The power supply drive unit 14 is, for example, a predetermined rotation speed (12
4 (pm, 60 Hz) and a gear 8 shown in FIG. 4 and a gear tooth 9 supported by a gear motor (not shown). FIG.
Is a universal chain 13 connected to the crescent conveyor 3 and a back surface thereof, and an arm 7 meshing with the teeth 9 of the gear 8.
FIG. Arms 7 projecting at predetermined intervals are formed on the back surface of the universal chain 13 that connects the crescent conveyor 3 and are inserted between the teeth 9 to drive the crescent conveyor 3. A groove 10 is formed on the upper surface of the frame so as to guide the universal chain 13 around the frame. To apply a predetermined tension to the universal chain 13, tension adjusting portions 6 are formed at both ends of the inner peripheral surface of the frame as shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an internal plane of the tension adjusting unit 6, and a tension adjusting mechanism for pulling the universal chain 13 connected and joined to the back surface of the crescent conveyor 3 toward both ends of the main body 1 is provided. . A fixing portion fixed to the main body 1 and moved relative to the main body 1 by fitting the knob 11 (a broken line 11 ′ indicates a position before adjustment) having a screw groove on the shaft with the screw groove. An adjustment plate 12 (12 'indicates a position before adjustment) for adjusting tension, which comes into contact with the universal chain 13 at the end of the shaft via the shaft.

With the above arrangement, the present invention carries in each of the parts A, B and C of the main body 1, respectively, arranges the straight-line part C in the middle of the curved parts A and B, and engages the one-touch key 4. By doing so, an integral endless frame is formed.

[0011] Under such preparation, the power supply drive unit 14 is turned on using a commercial power supply (100 V), so that the gear motor is driven and the crescent conveyor 3 is turned on at the same time.
Goes around the upper surface of the main body 1.

The food such as sushi in the present invention can be placed on a plate having a predetermined diameter so that it can pass in front of the party attendees, and can be extracted together with the plate as desired.

Since the present invention is a tabletop type, there is no need to prepare a special stand, and the present invention can be mounted on a general table and operated.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, the drive unit that circulates around the endless conveyor and the frame that guides the conveyor are separated at least at the circling section,
Because it has a locking means for locking such a separation side surface and a stretching means for stretching the endless conveyor,
The food to be eaten in the store can be provided to the orderer according to the order, and because it is lightweight, it is movable, and it can be easily assembled and removed anywhere,
This portable conveyor device can maintain the same freshness as that of eating at a sushi restaurant at a party or the like, and can provide food according to the taste of many people.
