Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-116078

  As a trend in recent years, there is an increasing style in which even general consumers go to large stores such as outlet stores to purchase daily necessities and purchase large quantities of products there. In such stores, since packaging efforts are being made to reduce packaging costs as much as possible, packaging for bringing back purchased products is carried out by the customer himself. At that time, nylon bags and cellophane tape provided on conventional soccer bases can only be used to wrap a small amount of purchased items, and the purchased items in a box unit can be tied up with straps for packing or larger. In order to carry the box in a box, a strap for packing and a handle are attached.

  Also, ribbons used for decorating gifts are in a rolled state, but an unnecessary length of ribbon is pulled out during use, and it becomes necessary to rewind or become dirty. Sometimes it could not be used.

  Under the circumstances as described above, there has been a demand for such a handling method that can efficiently draw out a necessary length of a string for packaging, a ribbon for decoration, and the like, and does not cause a loss due to dirt.

  As a result of the examination, the inventor of the present application stores it in a structure that prevents the string and ribbon for packaging from getting dirty, and provides an opening in the counter top plate for drawing out the required amount of string and ribbon from the storage. As a result, the inventors have obtained knowledge that the above-mentioned problems can be solved, and completed the present invention.

  That is, the present invention relates to a counter having a storage structure for storing a wound string-like object.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to draw out and use as many wrapping strings and ribbons as necessary at the counters and soccer stands installed around the cash register, and even after use, excess strings remain on the stands. It is possible to provide an environment that is excellent in aesthetics.

  Counters according to the present invention are intended for counters and soccer tables around cash registers used in general supermarkets and home centers, and there are no restrictions on the materials and sizes, and those used in the past may be used. .

  The counter according to the present invention can be realized by improving a part of the conventional counter. That is, this can be achieved by providing a string-like storage part on the top plate part of the counter and covering the storage part with a plate-like object having an opening.

  The opening is perforated so as to penetrate the counter top plate and the string storage part, and its shape and size are not particularly limited, but a circle, an ellipse, a rectangle or a square is preferable for easy processing. It can also be a star shape or a trapezoid. The size may be a size that makes it easy to take out the string-like material. Specifically, the diameter may be about 2 to 5 cm in the case of a circle, and may be in the range of 2 to 5 cm on a side in the case of a square. This is because if the opening is too small, it is difficult to pass the string-like material, and it is meaningless if it is too large.

  Next, it is preferable to provide a lid made of a soft material in the opening. Usable materials can be used without limitation as long as they have a hardness that can hold the string-like material with an appropriate resistance, and specific examples include rubber and soft plastics. it can. The shape and size of the lid may be anything that accompanies the shape and size of the opening.

  The lid is provided with a string-like object outlet for taking out the string-like object. The string-like object outlet is about 10% shorter than the inner diameter of the lid. Specifically, if the circular lid has a diameter of 2 to 5 cm, the length passing through the lid diameter is 1.8 to 4. What is necessary is just to provide a 5 cm cut | notch, and when providing a hole, what is necessary is just to provide a hole about 0.2-0.5 cm in diameter so that it may have the resistance of the string-like thing hold | maintaining moderately. If this string-like object outlet is too small, it is inconvenient to pass the string-like object, and if it is too large, the string-like object cannot be held properly, and the string-like object falls to the storage part, which is not preferable. . One or a plurality of cuts may be provided in the string-like material outlet provided in the lid, and any number can be used. Specifically, a form in which three slits are made to pass through the center point of a circular lid formed of soft plastic can be exemplified (see FIG. 3).

By attaching such a lid, an appropriate load is applied, and a situation in which the string-like object is pulled out vigorously can be prevented. It also has the effect of preventing water and dust from entering the inside.

  The size of the storage portion for storing the string-like object may be any size as long as the roll-like or spherically wound string-like object can be stored, and the size is not particularly limited, but a rectangular parallelepiped having a side of about 5 to 50 cm. It can be illustrated. The depth of the storage portion may be a depth that can accommodate the string-like material wound up in a roll shape or the like, and is preferably in the range of 5 to 20 cm. In the case of a counter for storing a plurality of string-like objects (for example, ribbons of a plurality of colors), the storage portion can be provided at both ends or the central portion of the counter. The size of the storage part at that time may be combined as many as the number of the string-like objects that store the rectangular parallelepiped, or a counter such as 10 cm × 50 cm so that a plurality of string-like objects can be stored in one storage part. The length may be equal to the short side or the long side. Although it is possible to use the entire top plate surface of the counter as a storage unit, it is not preferable because it may hinder the achievement of the original purpose of the counter.

  As a specific example of the storage unit, for example, if the counter has a depth of 50 cm and a width of 150 cm, a storage unit having a width of 10 cm and a length of 50 cm is provided in parallel to the short side at both ends or the center of the long side of the counter. A three-part opening is provided, and a rubber lid with a single string outlet is attached. Each contains a simple packaging string, a nylon string that can be used to hang a large box, and a ribbon that can be decorated for gifts. Appropriate partitions can be provided between these strings and ribbons to prevent entanglement of the ribbons and strings in the storage unit.

  The string-like material stored and used in the counter of the present invention can be used without particular limitation as long as it can be used for packing and decoration of products and goods. Specific examples of packing materials include PP string, paper string, hemp string, silk thread, nylon tape, vinylon tape, nylon tegus, paper thread, nylon rope, vinylon rope, cotton rope, and mallet. It is possible to store commercially available shapes such as those wound in a roll or in a record shape.

  By installing such a counter near the supermarket cashier counter, it becomes possible to wrap products purchased by customers or wrap them for presents. At that time, the string-like material can be pulled out only in a necessary amount, and the unused portion is in the storage portion, so that it is not soiled. Moreover, the string-like object after being pulled out is sandwiched between the string-like object outlets in the lid, stays without falling into the storage portion, and can be pulled out immediately at the next use, which is very convenient.

Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
A storage section (4) for storing a string-like object (2) as shown in FIG. 2 is provided in the end top plate of the counter (soccer stand) in FIG. 1, and an opening and a lid (3 ). The diameter of the opening was 4 cm, and a soft rubber lid was attached. One incision of 3 cm in length passing through the center point was made in the lid, and this was used as a string-like object outlet (5).

  In FIG. 1, four types of ribbons (2) used for wrapping packaging and gifts are stored in the storage section (4), and the tip of 10 cm is taken out from a string-like material outlet provided on the lid. In use, it was possible to carry out packaging without having the ribbon that is not used become dirty by holding the tip from the string outlet and pulling it out and cutting it. In FIG. 2, two types of decorative ribbons and twine for packing were stored in the storage unit. In addition, the quantity and combination of the string-like objects stored in the storage unit can be arbitrary, and can be appropriately selected according to the type and aspect of the store to be installed.
