Description

  The present invention relates to improvement of a counter, particularly a counter used in a place where a visitor such as a customer is present.

  For example, at a supermarket cashier counter, a customer who has an umbrella or a cane may get in the way when dealing with an employee at the cashier counter. In such a case, the umbrella is leaned against the counter, but it often falls down and is in a bad state. When there is a shopping cart, it is in time to hook an ear part of an umbrella handle on this, but it is still often hooked to move the cart forward and dropped on the floor .

  The same can be said for a cane and the like as well as an umbrella.

For this purpose, as shown in FIG. 22, an umbrella slip stopper having a locking recess for locking the tip Ka of the rounded portion of the handle of the umbrella K and provided on the upper surface of the cash register counter or the like. 1 is provided (see Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-318681

  In addition to the cashier counter, soccer stands are frequently used in stores. This is a workbench that packs the processed products into so-called plastic bags, and when working, an umbrella or a handle is leaned against the soccer stand, but it can also be inconvenient because it falls down. Often there is.

  Note that such a counter top plate is generally a veneer with a melamine decorative plate affixed to a plane frame 2 made of wood as shown in FIG. A bottom plate 4 is attached (see FIG. 24). A strip-shaped decorative material 5 is attached to the outer periphery of the skeleton 2 and is provided around the periphery of the top plate.

  Recently, artificial marble is available at low cost, and such artificial marble top plates are also being used. When this artificial marble is cut, a marble pattern also appears on the cut surface. For example, the ends of the plate material 6 having a thickness of 1 cm are bonded together as shown in FIG. 25, and the bent portion 7 is used as an edge of the top plate. The luxury of marble. The vertical width of the bonding portion 7 is about 3 cm to 5 to 6 cm, and the apparent thickness of the top board is produced.

  Some umbrellas have a pattern that is not rounded, while a cane or the like has a L-shaped pattern, etc., and the above-described anti-skid tool that assumes a rounded shape may be insufficient.

  Therefore, in view of these circumstances, the subject of the present invention is a counter, particularly a counter used in a place where a visitor such as a customer is present. The object is to provide a counter that can temporarily store the goods until they are used.

The counter device according to claim 1 of the present invention is such that the peripheral portion of the counter top plate protrudes beyond the side portion of the counter, and the peripheral portion has a storage recess for storing a long portable item such as an umbrella or a cane. However, it is characterized in that it is provided so as to penetrate vertically from the periphery of the top plate in a shape recessed inward in plan view.

  The invention according to claim 2 is the counter according to claim 1, wherein the counter is a cash register counter that is long and used for the customer's payment processing at the store, and the customer For this purpose, it is used so as to move from the long one end side to the other end side, and storage recesses are provided at two locations on the one end side and the other end side.

  The invention described in claim 3 is the counter according to claim 1, wherein the counter is a soccer table.

  Invention of Claim 4 is the counter in any one of Claims 1-3, Comprising: The upper surface of a top plate is formed with the plate material of artificial marble, and the artificial marble is provided in the plate material lower surface of the location which provides a storage recessed part. It is provided in the site | part which laminated | stacked this board | plate material, The said storage recessed part was provided in the said site | part of a peripheral part, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.

  According to the invention described in claim 1 of the present application, an umbrella or a cane can be stored in the counter, so that the long portable item can be let go and work can be performed at the counter. In addition, the storage recess is provided at the inner periphery of the counter top plate and does not protrude from the top plate, so that it does not get in the way of being caught when the visitor moves along the top plate. Similarly, umbrellas and canes to be stored are also positioned inward of the periphery of the top plate, in other words, stored in a state of standing on the top surface of the top plate. There will be no obstacles such as hitting a cart to push.

  The invention described in claim 2 also brings about the effect described in claim 1 for the cashier counter. Also, at this cashier counter, customers in the queue waiting for the cashier sequentially reach one end and hand the shopping cart to the cashier clerk, and the row advances to the other end where the cashier is finished and pays the money. It is assumed that you are going. At the one end side where the basket is passed, it waits for the customer waiting at the other end to end, so in the end, two places on the one end side and the other end side become the waiting positions. Since it is provided, convenience can be provided in each case.

  The invention described in claim 3 also provides the effect described in claim 1 to the soccer stand.

  In addition to the effect described in claim 1, the invention described in claim 4 uses an artificial marble plate material on the top surface of the top plate, and in addition, the artificial marble is laminated on the bottom surface of the plate material in a place where the storage recess is provided. Since the thickness is increased, if a storage recess is provided at this location, a new artificial marble surface appears as the inner surface of the storage recess. In this regard, a non-marble top plate generally has an internal structure as shown in FIG. 23. If an attempt is made to form a storage recess, the timber of the skeleton and the cavity behind the skeleton will be exposed. Make-up must be applied, such as the same edge as the board periphery. On the other hand, if the artificial marble of claim 4 is a top plate, even if the marble is 1 cm thick, only the portion of the storage recess should be laminated by thickening this artificial marble plate material. If the laminated part is recessed by cutting, etc., the cut surface is a marble background, so there are some finish polishes, but it can be used as it is almost as it is finished, Such makeup processing is not necessary.

  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  1 to 5 show a cash register counter 10 installed in a supermarket or the like. Four leg portions 11 have a 180 cm × 50 cm long top plate 12 and auxiliary top plates provided at both ends of the long side. 13 is provided as a work table. The cashier counter is provided so that the height can be adjusted, but the top plate 12 is approximately 60 cm high from the floor. A cash register 14 is installed at the longitudinal center of the top 12. Then, the customers in the queue waiting for the cash register sequentially reach one end 12a of the long top 12 to give the shopping cart to the cashier clerk and proceed to the other end 12b to pay the money, and the cash register is completed. It is used to wait and pay for it.

  Accordingly, in the cashier counter 10, both the longitudinal sides of the top plate 12 are a face-to-face type with the clerk side 12x and the customer side 12y. And the customer side 12y of the top plate 12 is formed so that the peripheral edge portion 15 protrudes 65 mm from the side portion 16 of the counter 12. A storage recess 18 penetrating vertically is formed in a shape recessed inward from the peripheral edge 17 of the top plate 12 at two left and right positions in the middle of 20 cm from the longitudinal ends 12a and 12b of the top plate. Is provided.

  The top plate 12 has an artificial marble plate material on the top surface. As shown in FIG. 6, a drooping portion 21 is attached to the periphery of the plate member 20 made of artificial marble as a border. Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 7, a portion 23 in which the artificial marble plate material 22 is laminated on the lower surface side of the artificial marble plate material 20 is brought into contact with the drooping portion 21 at the location where the storage concave portion is provided. It is provided in the state. And when providing a storage recessed part, this part 23 is cut | disconnected and formed in the shape of the storage recessed part 18 whole. Specifically, the storage recess 18 has a semicircular shape Ra having a depth D of 55 mm and a depth of 25 mm, and the opening is formed in a partial circle Rb having a radius of 30 mm.

  The inner peripheral surface of the storage recess 18 becomes a cut surface, and the cross section of the artificial marble laminated on the cut surface appears as a new marble background, so that it can be used as it is as a decorative surface. Actually, the storage recess 18 is completed only by performing a slight work such as performing some polishing and chamfering the corners of the upper surface and the inner peripheral surface.

  This storage recess 18 is used, but when a customer waiting for a cash register has a long portable item such as an umbrella or a cane, the umbrella K or the cane is stored here as shown in FIG. I can leave it to you. The storage recess 18 is semicircular at the back, but since the opening opens as shown in the figure, it is easy to store even when the bone of the umbrella is widened. In the case of a cane, you can simply put it in and store it.

  Specifically, when a customer in a queue waiting for the cash register reaches the one end 12a of the cash register counter, the customer removes the shopping cart from, for example, a cart (not shown) and puts it on the top board 12 to the cashier clerk. Give it. At this time, if the shopping cart is heavy, it is desirable to hold it with both hands, but if one hand is taken by the umbrella K or the like, the umbrella K can be stored in the storage recess 18a and the shopping cart can be lowered with both hands. If the cart is placed in two vertical stages and there is a shopping basket in the lower stage, you must use both hands, but even in this case, the umbrella K can be stored on the cashier counter side, which is convenient.

While the store clerk is checking out the shopping cart, the customer goes to the other end 12b to pay money and waits for the end of the checkout. The umbrella K is taken out from the recess 18a and stored again in the storage recess 18b on the other end 12b that has moved. This is because, even in this case, both hands are used. In this way, the two storage recesses 18 are used.

  Next, the counter 30 of Example 2 is shown in FIGS. This counter is a soccer table 30, and a notch 32 corresponding to a space for a shopping cart is provided at one corner of a square top plate 31 so that empty shopping carts can be stacked. The top plate 31 is not an artificial marble, and the same framework as shown in FIG. 22 of the prior art is assembled in a shape similar to the plan view of FIG. 9, and as in FIG. A veneer that is pasted as an upper surface plate and nothing is pasted is pasted to a lower surface plate.

  This soccer stand 30 is used from four sides, and is provided with storage recesses 33 at five locations as shown. The storage recess 33 may be provided in any manner. For example, the storage recess 33 may be cut out anew on a top plate that has been completed by pasting the upper and lower surfaces of the frame. In this case, you may make it the same appearance as another peripheral part by sticking a decorative board on the cut surface exposed by cutting.

  15 to 20 show another soccer stand 40, which is installed close to a wall or the like and used only from one longitudinal side 41. FIG. Therefore, three storage recesses 42 are provided only on one side 41 thereof.

  The storage recess 50 may not have a shape as illustrated. For example, it may be substantially square as shown in FIG. 21 (a), or may be substantially V-shaped as in (b). These have a shape that narrows an umbrella or the like, but they may be loosely recessed as shown in (c), and not just a sandwiched shape, but only to lean against the recess and not fall down. Further, as shown in FIG. 24, when the band-shaped decorative material 5 is attached to the peripheral edge of the top plate, there is an advantage that the attachment work is facilitated if it is such a loose recess. If you only plan to store the cane, as shown in (d), the narrow storage recess is slightly wider than the thickness of the cane, and it can be tapered to guide only the opening. Good.
