Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a device for flipping up the top of a counter used as an accounting table or a sales table.

[Prior Art] Counters such as bank tellers and horse racing ticket counters are equipped with doors such as shutters for closing the front of the counters at the end of business or in the event of an emergency.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, since the door provided on the above-mentioned conventional counter operates from the top to the bottom, there is a risk of hands being caught between the door and the top of the counter. Additionally, placing an obstacle on the top of the counter may prevent it from fully closing.

In addition, when closing the front of the counter as described above, it is desirable to be able to close a wider height range of the front.

The purpose of the present invention is to make it possible to safely and reliably close the front face of a counter over a wider height range using a simple structure.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention is such that one end of the top plate in the depth direction is rotatably connected to the frame, and the other end of the top plate in the depth direction is movable up and down with respect to the frame. A countertop flip-up device rotatably coupled to a movable member that drives the movable member by a drive means, the countertop flip-up device comprising: a first panel coupled to a frame;
at least two of the second panels coupled to the movable member;
The top plate is divided into two panels, and each panel is combined in a stacked state that allows the panels to slide relative to each other in the depth direction of the top plate.

[Function] According to the present invention, the simple top plate rotation mechanism allows
With one end of the top plate as the center of rotation, the other end can be flipped upward from below, making it possible to safely and reliably close the front of the counter.

In addition, when the front of the counter is closed, the top panel pulls out the other panel from the bottom of one panel constituting the top board, expands its depth, and flips up to create a wider height for the front of the counter. It becomes possible to close the range.

In addition, one end of the top plate is rotatably connected to the frame, and the other end is closed by moving up and down using a movable member, so the closing force due to the driving of the movable member is half of the weight of the top plate. This makes it possible to reduce the driving load and reliably close the front of the counter.

[Embodiment] FIGS. 1 and 2 show a counter 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The counter 10 has a top plate 12 disposed on the top of a frame 11, and a face material 13 on the front side of the frame 11. Further, the counter 10 has fixed columns 14 installed on both sides of the frame 11, and the upper ends of both fixed columns 14 are connected by an upper frame 15 to form a front opening 16.

The top plate 12 is made up of a first panel 17 and a second panel 18, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The first panel 17 is constructed as shown in FIG. 5, and the second panel 18 is constructed as shown in FIG. Guide rails 19 each extending in the depth direction of the top plate 12 and having a C-shaped cross section are formed at a plurality of positions in the width direction of the second panel 18 . On the other hand, horizontal rolls 20 and vertical rolls 21 are provided at multiple positions in the width direction of the first panel 17 . The horizontal roll 20 has its horizontal axis aligned with the first panel 1.
7 , and the vertical roll 21 has its vertical axis supported by the first panel 17 . That is, the first
The panel 17 and the second panel 18 have both rolls 20,
21 are engaged in a state in which they can roll without play in the vertical direction and left and right width directions of the guide rail 19, and are coupled in a stacked state such that they can mutually slide in the depth direction of the top plate 12.

On the other hand, the fixing column 14 is provided with a groove-shaped guide portion 22 extending in the vertical direction, as shown in FIG. The guide portions 22 of the left and right fixed columns 14 include
A frame-shaped movable member 23 shown in FIG. 8 is movably held. A first horizontal roll 24 and a second horizontal roll 25 that engage with the guide section 22 are provided on both sides of the movable member 23. The first horizontal roll 24 engages with the guide section 22 in the front-rear direction, and a second The horizontal roll 25 engages with the guide portion 22 in the left-right direction.

As shown in FIG. 3, the rear end of the first panel 17 constituting the top plate 12 is
It is rotatably coupled to the frame 11 via a hinge 26. Further, the front end of the second panel 18 constituting the top plate 12 is rotatably coupled to the upper end of the movable member 23 via a hinge 27, as shown in FIG. . As a result, when the movable member 23 is set at the lower limit position, the top plate 12 stores the second panel 18 under the first panel 17 as shown by the solid line in FIG. Under the condition of rising from the lower limit position, the third
As shown by the two-dot chain line in the figure, the second panel 18 is pulled out from the bottom of the first panel 17, and both panels 17,
The depth dimension of the top plate 12 formed by 18 can be expanded.

Further, inside the frame 11, a pair of upper and lower sprocket shafts 28 and 29 are supported, and an upper sprocket 30 and a lower sprocket 3 fixed to both sprocket shafts 28 and 29 are supported.
A chain 32 is wound around the chain 1.
A portion of the chain 32 in the circumferential direction is connected to the lower end of the movable member 23 via an attachment 33 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.

Also, inside the frame 11, a chain 32 is provided.
A drive motor 34 is installed that can drive the motor in both forward and reverse directions. That is, the output of the drive motor 34 is transmitted to the torque limiter 35 and the drive sprocket 3.
6. It can be transmitted to the lower sprocket shaft 29 via the chain 37.

Next, the operation of the counter 10 will be explained. The counter 10 raises the movable member 23 at high speed along the guide portion 22 of the fixed column 14 by driving the drive motor 34 at the end of work or in an emergency. Thereby, the top plate 12 pulls out the second panel 18 from the lower part of the first panel 17, rotates the end of the first panel 17 with respect to the frame 11, and moves the end of the second panel 18. It rotates relative to the member 23 and springs up from the horizontal state shown by the solid line in FIGS. 1 and 3 to the inclined state shown by the two-dot chain line, thereby instantly closing the front opening 16.

Therefore, according to the counter 10, the simple top plate rotation mechanism makes it possible to flip up the other end from below to the top while centering one end of the top plate 12, counter 10
The front opening 16 of the front opening 16 can be closed safely and reliably.

Moreover, when the front opening 16 of the counter 10 is closed, the top plate 12 pulls out the other panel 18 from the bottom of one panel 17 constituting the top plate 12, and the top plate 12 flips up with its depth expanded. , it becomes possible to close a wider height range in front of the counter 10.

Furthermore, one end of the top plate 12 is rotatably connected to the frame 11, and the other end is moved up and down by the movable member 23 to close the top plate 12, so that the closing force due to the drive of the movable member 23 is applied to the top plate 12. It only requires half the weight, reduces the driving load, and makes it possible to reliably close the front of the counter 10.

Note that in the above embodiment, the case where the top plate 12 is divided into two panels 17 and 18 has been described.
In implementing the present invention, the top plate may be divided into three or more panels. In that case, the third, fourth, etc. panels may be interposed between the first panel coupled to the frame and the second panel coupled to the movable member without being stacked on each other. Become.

[Effects of the invention] In the present invention, one end of the top plate in the depth direction is rotatably connected to the frame, and the other end of the top plate in the depth direction is rotated by a movable member that moves up and down with respect to the frame. A countertop flip-up device movably coupled to drive a movable member by drive means, the countertop being movably coupled to a first panel coupled to a frame;
