Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a front edge structure of a counter for a store installed and used in various stores.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, as this type of counter, there is known a counter including a casing-shaped main body arranged on the floor via a base and a top plate arranged on the main body. However, the front edge of the top plate of this type of counter is not only exposed to the line of sight of the customer, but also under the harsh conditions such as mischievous children and frequent collision of solid objects such as shopping baskets. It is common to get burned.

Therefore, in the conventional case, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, a front edge cover b made of synthetic resin is attached to the front end surface b of the top plate body a. However, in the conventional one, a plurality of forward mounting grooves d are provided in parallel on the front end surface b of the top plate body a, and the leg portion e is integrally projected on the back surface of the front edge cover c. The leg portions e are driven into the mounting groove d so that the front edge cover c is attached to the top plate body a.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the case of such a configuration, since only the front end face b of the top plate body a is closed by the front edge cover c, the driving method is insufficient. Then, a gap f is left between the back surface of the front edge cover c and the top plate body a. Moreover, the gaps f become uneven due to variations in the degree of driving, and therefore there is a problem that the appearance is likely to be damaged.

Further, since the driving directions of the leg portions e into the mounting grooves d are the same, when the external force is repeatedly applied, the front edge cover c
There is also a problem that is easily detached from the top plate body a.

The present invention aims to solve such problems.

[Means for Solving the Problem] The present invention takes the following means in order to achieve such an object.

That is, the front edge structure of the store counter according to the present invention has a front edge cover mounted on the front edge portion of the main body, and the main body of the top surface faces upward near the front end of the top surface. And a second mounting groove opening in a direction not orthogonal to the front end surface on the front end surface inclined obliquely downward, and the front edge cover is press-fitted into the first mounting groove on the lower surface. An upper piece having a first leg portion and a front piece having a second leg portion press-fitted into the second mounting groove on the back surface are integrally formed of an elastically deformable material. A hinge portion is provided between the upper piece and the front piece.

In order to simplify the manufacturing, the front edge cover should be an extruded product.

In order to achieve both the protection effect of the front edge cover and the mounting strength of the cover at a high level, the upper piece, the front piece, and the hinge portion are made of soft synthetic resin, and the first and second leg portions are formed. Is preferably made of hard synthetic resin.

In order to make the corner portion of the front edge cover rich in cushioning property, it is preferable to form a cavity between the hinge portion of the front edge cover and the top plate body.

[Operation] With such a configuration, since the upper surface and the front end surface at the front edge of the top plate main body can be covered by the front edge cover, the degree of driving can be set between the cover and the top plate main body. The gap that changes in accordance with the above is not exposed in a manner that can be visually recognized from the front side.

Moreover, since the driving direction of the first leg portion with respect to the first mounting groove and the driving direction of the second leg portion with respect to the second mounting groove are different, no matter which direction the external force acts,
The front edge cover is hard to come off from the top plate body. Further, since the second mounting groove into which the second leg is press-fitted is opened in a direction not orthogonal to the front end face of the top plate body, an impact force is applied to the front piece to cause the front piece to move around the hinge portion. Even when rotated, the second leg does not move linearly in the same direction as the opening direction of the second mounting groove. That is, at this time, the second leg moves in an arc, and therefore is strongly pressed against the inner surface of the second mounting groove, and a large friction resistance force is generated. Therefore, withdrawal of the second leg requires an unexpected pulling force, which makes it more difficult to remove the front edge cover.

The front edge cover is made of an elastically deformable material, and a hinge is provided between the upper piece and the front piece. Is possible. That is, when the first leg portion is press-fitted into the first mounting groove, the front piece may be rotated to a position where the second leg portion does not interfere with the top plate body, and the top piece is the top plate. After being fixed to the main body, the front piece may be rotated in the direction of the top plate main body to drive the second leg portion into the second mounting groove.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

As shown in FIG. 3, the store counter of this embodiment is
A plurality of unit units A each including a base 1, a main body 2, and a top plate 3 are arranged in a row in the lateral direction.

As shown in FIG. 3, the main body 2 has a cross rail between the left and right side plates 21.
It is a box type that is connected by 22, and the upper horizontal rail 22 is
The side plate 21 is projected above the upper end 21a.

The top plate 3 is, as shown in FIGS. 1, 4, and 5,
The top plate main body 4 and the front edge cover 5 attached to the front edge portion of the top plate main body 4 are provided. The top plate body 4 is made of wood, and is attached to the core material 41, the front, rear, left, right, and middle frame members 42, 43, 44, 45 attached to the lower surface of the core material 41, and the upper surface of the core material 41. And a melamine decorative board 46. The lower surface of the front frame member 42 and the rear frame member 43 is provided with a concave groove into which the horizontal rail 22 of the main body 2 is fitted.
42a and 43a are formed by router processing. This groove 42
Oni's nut 47 is embedded in the ceiling surface of a and 43a, and a bolt (not shown) inserted into the bolt insertion hole 22a from the lower surface side of the horizontal rail 22 is screwed onto the oniman nut 47. Thus, the top plate 3 is attached to the main body 2. The left and right frame members 44 of the top plate main body 4 are provided with bolt insertion holes 44a for inserting bolts for connecting the top plates 3 to each other. An upper first mounting groove 48 is formed near the front edge of the upper surface 4a of the top plate body 4, and a second front mounting groove 29 is formed on the front end surface 4b.

On the other hand, the front edge cover 5 has an upper piece 52 having a first leg portion 51 press-fitted into the first mounting groove 48 on the lower surface and a second mounting groove 49 on the back surface.
A front piece 54 having a second leg portion 53 press-fitted into is integrally configured, and a hinge portion 55 is provided between the upper piece 52 and the front piece 54. The hinge portion 55 is formed by stealing the inner surface side into a cylindrical shape in a horizontal cross section, and thinning the member. The upper piece 52, the front piece 54, and the hinge portion 55 are made of soft vinyl chloride resin, and have the first and second leg portions 51,
53 is made of hard vinyl chloride resin. Therefore, the upper piece 52, the front piece 54, the hinge portion 55, and the first and second leg portions 51 and 53 that form the front edge cover 5 are integrally formed by extrusion molding. The front edge cover 5 is
For example, it may be molded into the posture shown in FIG.
Alternatively, the front piece 54 and the upper piece 2 may be formed in a planar posture such that the included angle is 180 °.

With such a configuration, the upper surface 4a and the front end surface 4b at the front edge of the top plate body 4 can be covered by the front edge cover 5, so that the space between the cover 5 and the top plate body 4 is reduced. ,
A gap that changes depending on the degree of driving is not exposed in a manner that can be visually recognized from the front side. That is, the gap that changes depending on the degree of driving is the upper piece 52.
There is a possibility that they may be formed between the lower surface of the table and the top plate body 4, and between the back surface of the front piece 54 and the top plate body 4, but such a gap cannot be visually recognized from the outside. The boundary between the upper piece 52 of the front edge cover 5 and the melamine decorative board 46 is the first
It is uniformly defined by the position of the mounting groove 48, and even if the driving of the first leg portion 48 is insufficient, no gap is created at the boundary portion thereof.

Moreover, since the driving direction of the first leg portion 51 with respect to the first mounting groove 48 and the driving direction of the second leg portion 53 with respect to the second mounting groove 49 are different by 90 °, an external force acts from any direction. Even then, the front edge cover 5 becomes difficult to come off from the top plate body 4. Further, with respect to the second leg portion 53, the second mounting groove 49 that is press-fitted is directed in a direction not orthogonal to the front end surface 4b of the top plate body 4, in other words, in a direction parallel to the upper surface of the top plate body 4. Since the front piece 54 is opened, even if an impact force is applied to the front piece 54 from the rear of the top plate body 4 and the front piece 54 rotates forward and upward around the hinge portion 55, the second leg portion 53 is secondly attached. It does not move linearly in the same direction as the opening direction of the groove 49. So at this time,
The second leg portion 53 moves in an arc, and therefore is strongly pressed against the inner side surface of the second mounting groove 49 to generate a large frictional resistance force. Therefore, the second
To pull out the leg part 53 of the, it is necessary to pull out more than expected,
It is more difficult to remove the front edge cover 5.

Moreover, the front edge cover 5 is made of an elastically deformable material, and since the hinge portion 55 is provided between the upper piece 52 and the front piece 54, the driving direction of the both leg portions 51, 53 is set. Even if they are different, they can be attached. That is, when mounting the front edge cover 5, first, the first leg portion 51 is press-fitted into the first mounting groove 48 as shown in FIG. At this time, the front leg 54 is moved to a position where the second leg 52 does not interfere with the top plate body 4.
You just have to rotate. After the upper piece 52 is fixed to the top plate body 4, the front piece 54 is rotated in the direction of the top plate body 4 to move the second piece.
The leg portion 53 of is driven into the second mounting groove 49.

It should be noted that the shape of the hinge portion is not limited to that of the illustrated embodiment, but it is easy to insert a pin into the hinge portion if the hinge portion has a cylindrical shape in the mounted state as shown in the illustrated example. Become. If the common pin is inserted between the ends of the front edge covers of the adjacent top plates, the ends of the front edge covers can be positioned with respect to each other. for that reason,
Even when a large number of top plates are arranged in series, the front edge covers are aligned.

[Advantage of Invention] Since the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to attach the front edge cover to the main body of the top plate with good appearance without exposing unsightly gaps. Is hard to come off even if external force is applied. for that reason,
The appearance of the top plate can be maintained in a good state for a long period of time, and the top plate body can be effectively prevented from being damaged. Further, since the second mounting groove is opened in the front end surface inclined obliquely downwardly in a direction not orthogonal to the front end surface, the moving direction of the second leg portion and the opening direction of the second mounting groove are made different. Even if an impact force is applied to the front piece, it is possible to prevent the second leg portion from easily slipping out of the second mounting groove even if an impact force is applied to the front piece, so that the front edge cover can be more difficult to remove. It is possible.

If you make the front edge cover by extrusion molding,
It is possible to simplify the production. Also, if the upper piece, the front piece and the hinge part are made of soft synthetic resin and the legs are made of hard synthetic resin, the front edge cover can be finished with a soft feel without impairing the mounting strength. it can. In particular, if a cavity is formed between the hinge portion and the top plate body, the corner portion of the front edge cover becomes rich in elasticity. Therefore, the impact due to the collision can be effectively mitigated at this portion, and even if the solid matter repeatedly collides, it is difficult to be damaged.
