Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a catering car used for transporting and serving cooked foods such as school meals.

[Conventional technology]

This kind of conventional serving car is the actual Kokoku Sho 44-19157 and Shokai Sho 56.
-As disclosed in No. 35328, No. 60-132229, No. 1-91444, No. 1-91444, the structure has a heat-retaining function to prevent the food from cooling during the transportation to the serving place. There is. That is, this type of catering machine is provided with a canned food container and a heat insulation heater inside a movable catering box.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

By the way, in this type of catering car, firstly, from the viewpoint of improving the efficiency of use of the catering space in which the catering spaces are arranged in the catering space, the catering space is not permanently installed in a specific place,
It goes without saying that it is preferable to install it on the catering car itself. Second, it is desirable that there is no heat dissipation from the top of the can during the movement of the car. Thirdly, while the catering car is moving, it is easy for dust and dirt to enter the upper space of the catering box and directly adhere to the upper edge of the catering box. It is desirable to move.

However, in each of the conventional delivery cars, the technical development is generally directed to the improvement of the heat retention function, aiming at the improvement of the thermal efficiency and the multipurpose use of the heat retention heat. Therefore, no consideration has been given to the efficient use of the serving space. In Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 44-19157, only a large bulky structure is disclosed in which a catering shelf is provided next to a catering box in the height direction of the catering car. Due to this bulky structure, the mobility of the catering car during movement is significantly hindered, and a considerable amount of garage space is required even when the catering car is not in use.

In addition, each of the conventional serving cars has a heat retaining function for the peripheral portion and the bottom portion of the food can, but the lid of the food can and the upper edge portion thereof are not provided with a heat retaining function and have an upper opening. Since it moves as it is, no measures have been taken to prevent contact between the upper edge portion including the lid and the cool air during the movement, and it cannot be said that it can exhibit a sufficient heat retaining function. Furthermore, no measures have been taken to prevent the entry of dust and dirt from the top opening during movement.

In addition, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-17482 discloses a technique in which the top plate of kitchen furniture can be slid to the left and right to selectively open the stove section and the accessory storage section, but it can be moved. However, it is a technology unrelated to the catering car and cannot be applied to the catering car. Even if this top plate slide technology is combined with each of the conventional serving cars, it is only possible to construct a serving car provided with a top plate that slides the upper opening of the serving box to the left and right, and the serving space in the serving car. There is no suggestion of any specific application to the efficient use form of.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a catering vehicle that can appropriately form and enlarge a catering space in accordance with the number of catering and can have a compact structure that does not impair the mobility of the catering vehicle when not in use. Another object of the present invention is to provide a catering car in which the food can inside is completely shielded from the outside and can be moved.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The catering vehicle according to the present invention is as follows, which achieves the above object.

That is, a serving box that has an upper surface opening with an open upper surface and is movable by a caster provided at the bottom, a food can housing portion that is provided inside the food serving box and that houses a food can containing food, In a catering machine equipped with a heater for keeping the can warm, a catering box 12
A handle 54 of a stamp is horizontally extended and fixed to one side wall of the serving box, and the handle side is hinged to the upper surface of the serving box 12.
A turntable table 22a is provided which is rotatably connected by 57 to close the upper surface opening 70 and is turned and horizontally supported on the handle, and is provided on the other side wall of the dish box 12. Is provided with a fixed serving table 22b that has casters 24 at the bottom and moves together with the serving box 12, and one side of the fixed serving table 22b is stored below the fixed serving table 22b and the casters 24 are provided at the bottom. Is characterized in that a slide serving table 22c is provided which is slidable to and from the side.

[Action]

Since the rotating serving table is rotated to close the upper opening of the serving box, the serving vehicle moves while the lid-covered food can is further blocked from the outside.

At the serving area, the rotating serving table is rotated upward to open the upper surface of the serving box, and the rotating serving table is horizontally supported by the handle to form one serving space. The rotary serving table and the fixed serving table are formed as a serving space on the left and right of the can. For example, a set of canned foods is arranged on a permanent fixed serving table, and when the serving space is insufficient, a rotating serving table is used. Further, when the serving space is insufficient, the slide serving stand is pulled out from the fixed serving stand to one side and used.

When not in use, the swivel table is returned to the use position as a lid that closes the upper surface of the table box, and the slide table is stored in a state of overlapping the fixed table.
