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

A is a counter with a top plate 1 on the visitor side and a top plate 2 on the reception side in a stepped manner, with both top plates 1 and 2
Conventionally, the lower surface of the container has been used as a storage area by placing fixtures and the like as appropriate.

Therefore, the counter B has a main body that is high enough to be easily inserted into the lower surface of the receptionist side top plate 2, and
Since the top plate 8 is provided only about half of the total width of the main body, as shown in FIG. If the left end of the top plate 8 is placed in contact with the right end of the top plate 2, a side counter B with a large storage capacity can be arranged with the top plate 8 integrated with the receptionist side top plate 2. This is extremely convenient in practice. Note that 9 in FIG. 1 is an extraction provided on the lower surface of the top plate 8.

Further, in the counter B of the present invention, the other space can be formed into a desired storage section by accommodating fixtures and the like as appropriate.

In the above embodiment, the top plate 8 of the counter of the present invention is formed at the same height as the top plate on the reception side.

Therefore, in place of the panel 4 in the main body of the embodiment described above, a panel 41 whose height is approximately the height of the lower surface of the visitor side top plate 1 is used, and an auxiliary panel is provided on top of the panel 5 of the embodiment described above. 51 and its right end extends over the panel 41, while a top plate 81 having a front width such that its left end abuts the left end of the visitor side top plate 1 is stretched over the upper ends of these panels 41, 51. Another side counter C according to the present invention is configured.

By doing this, the top plate 81 is integrated with the top plate 1 of the counter A, which not only improves the usability of both the top plates 1 and 81, but also creates a large space below the top plate 81. It is convenient that various storage parts can be formed here.

The present invention is as described above, and is extremely useful as a side counter that is used in connection with a teller counter having a top plate with different levels.
