Description

[Detailed description of the invention] ゛The present invention relates to a heat-retaining table counter equipped with a heat-retaining table capable of insulating items and keeping the temperature at an appropriate level.

It is equipped with a relatively long table facing the guest chairs arranged side by side, and a so-called counter is configured so that the cook prepares food, drinks, etc. inside the table through the table and serves the customers. Traditionally, cooks and customers have been produced for the main purpose of being able to meet in front of each other and for convenience in writing together.1. There were no heat-retaining means or built-in heat-retaining stand for keeping items warm.

Therefore, foods that are served at relatively high temperatures, such as grilled foods and soups, cool quickly, resulting in a significant loss of taste.

An object of the present invention is to provide a heat-retaining table counter that can solve the conventional problems by providing a heat-retaining table on the counter.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the insulating table counter of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, the heat-insulating table counter 1 of the present invention has a relatively long table 3 placed on a base 2 and facing guest chairs C arranged side by side, and a level difference above the table 3. An upper plate 8 formed almost parallel to the table, and a heat-retaining table 4 provided below the upper plate 8 and approximately parallel to the table 3 are integrally formed with appropriate wall members. The cooker A, who is located inside the table, can write the prepared food, drinks, etc. directly on the warming table 4 for the customer B.

In the embodiment shown in FIG.
1 and a heating element 43 such as a nichrome wire connected to an insulator 42 implanted in the casing 41, and a heat retaining plate 60 that is kept warm by the heat retaining source 40.

The heat retaining source 40 further includes a hanging tray 4 below the end of the heat retaining plate 60 on the side of the guest chair C to accommodate fallen objects falling from the heat retaining plate 60.
Includes 4.

1. The housing 41 has a box shape with an open top, and the long sides A, 41a that contact the wall member 7 are formed slightly higher than the other long sides B 41b,
The upper end portion thereof has a bent portion 41c that is bent inward into the housing.

As a result, when the heat insulating plate 60 is mounted on the housing 41,
The heat retaining plate 60 is inclined downward toward the guest chair C side.

A partition wall 41d is fixed inside the casing 41, and cooperates with both end walls 41e of the casing 41 (only one wall is shown in FIG. 2a) to improve the rigidity of the casing itself.

A heat insulating material 45 made of glass mat, asbestos, etc. is laid inside the casing, and the insulator 42 is attached to the bottom of the casing by passing through the heat insulating material 45.

The heating element 43 is connected to the insulator 42 and connected to a switch (both not shown) via an appropriate voltage regulator.

The heat insulating plate 60 is formed into a long plate shape that covers the upper opening of the casing 41 and slightly overhangs the long side B41b of the casing, and has a long side B41b on its lower surface.
A locking angle 61 having a locking surface 61a that can come into contact with the inner surface of the housing 41b is fixed, and as a result, it is possible to prevent the heat insulating plate 60 installed at an angle to the housing from slipping down.

A bent portion 62 bent downward is formed at the end of the long side B41b of the heat insulating plate 60'.

In this embodiment, the saucer tool 44 is formed such that the - side is formed high and the upper part of the other side is bent outward to attach the mounting portion 44 to the lower surface of the casing 41.
It is shaped like a gutter with a U-shaped cross section.

As shown in Figure 2, the mounting portion 44a has a chevron-shaped protrusion 44B.
is formed at the end thereof, and the chevron-shaped protrusion 44B is connected to the housing 41.
The saucer tool 44 is detachably attached to the housing 41 by fitting it into the U-shaped portion 46a of a stopper 46 made of spring steel whose one end is fixed to the lower surface of the housing 41.

The heat-retaining table 4 can be assembled as a counter by hanging holes (not shown) drilled in the long side A41a of the housing 41 onto bolts 71 embedded in the wall member 7, and screwing nuts 72. be integrated.

If necessary, the casing 41 may be supported on a wall member or table surface using an angle material, a plate material, or the like.

By configuring the warming table 4 as shown in FIG. 2, the warming plate 60 can be tilted toward the customer, making it easier for the customer to see the food items marked thereon, as well as making it easier for the customers to see the food items marked thereon, such as some type of fried food. When food is served with seasoning liquid such as sauces or sauces, food is heated and kept warm for a certain period of time by a heat insulating board to allow excess seasoning liquid to flow downward. Even if it evaporates, it does not significantly change the taste of the food (when cooked food is kept warm,
It is said that the evaporation of the liquid generally thickens the flavor, that is, makes it spicy, by about 1 to 20%, and it is clear that when an excess of seasoning liquid is attached at this time, the degree of concentration becomes even greater).

Note that the seasoning liquid that has flowed down from the end of the bent portion 62 of the heat insulation board 60 flows down to the saucer tool 44 and is stored therein, and the residue on the heat insulation board 60 also falls to the saucer tool 44 when cleaning the heat insulation board and is stored. Since the saucer tool 44 is configured to be detachable, the stored items can be easily dumped all at once after closing or periodically, and the number of man-hours required for cleaning the heat insulating plate can also be reduced.

Note that the heating element 43 can adjust the amount of heat generated by a voltage regulator.
The temperature of the heat insulating plate 60, that is, the temperature of the object can be maintained at an appropriate temperature (for example, in the case of baked goods, 45 to 120° C. is preferable).

Further, the inclination angle of the heat insulating plate is set to about 5 to 20 degrees in consideration of the degree of flow of the seasoning liquid, etc.

The saucer tool 44 is formed to have a U-shaped cross section as shown in FIG. It is also possible to configure the saucer tool 44 to be attached to the housing 41 by hooking the portion 44b.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the heat-retaining table 4.

In FIG. 3, the heat insulating plate 60 has a box shape with a U-shaped cross section with an open lower surface, inwardly bent ends, and an inclined central surface.

In this embodiment, a so-called sheathed heater 43A is used as the heating element 43 constituting the heat retention source 40, and the sheathed heater 43A is directly attached to the inner surface of the heat retention plate 60 by a receiver 43a.

A shielding plate 46 is detachably attached to the inwardly bent portion 64 of the heat insulating plate 60 .

In this embodiment, the heat insulating plate 60 is appropriately fixed to a side wall 9 which is formed from the upper plate 8 of the counter toward the table 3 and whose upper surface is inclined, and is attached to the side wall 9 of the upper plate 8 except for the side wall 9. A saucer tool 44A that is open at the bottom and has a saucer shape.
passes through the opening 81 and inserts the heat insulating plate 60 from inside the counter.
can be inserted beyond the customer end of the

Note that a holding rod 91 that supports the saucer tool 44A is inserted through the side wall 9, and a decorative board 92 is attached to the front surface of the side wall 9.

When the heat-retaining table 4 has such a configuration, in addition to the various effects described above with reference to FIG. 2, the saucer 44A can be easily taken out into the counter, and cleaning work can be further simplified.

The heat-retaining table is basically constructed as shown in FIG. 2, and only the structure of the saucer 44 is shown in FIG. 3.
It can be changed in various ways depending on the configuration of each part, such as replacing it with that of A.

In addition to an electric heater as the heating element 43, steam,
Gas flames can also be used.

Insulation plates can be made of iron, steel, or other light metals such as aluminum, and the aesthetics can be improved by coating the surface with a slippery material such as Teflon, or by installing a net-like oil drain plate on top of the insulation plate. In addition, it can also be configured to be useful for cleaning, oil removal, etc.

Further, the heat-insulating stand 4 can be formed integrally over the entire length of the counter except for the heat-insulating plate, or can be formed in advance to a certain length and can be joined together as desired.

Further, if necessary, it is also possible to configure the heat-retaining table 4 to be used as part of the upper plate 8 or the table 3, and such a configuration is also within the scope of the present invention.

As mentioned above, the counter of the present invention has a heat-retaining table, so that the temperature of the food served by the cook can be kept almost constant, and the taste will not be spoiled in the early hours.

In addition, since the warming table is formed almost parallel to the table surface and near the top plate, the cook can directly serve food anywhere, and since the taste does not change, it is possible to serve a large amount of food at once. Therefore, effective use of tables,
In addition to streamlining the cooking process, it also eliminates the need for tableware and the cost of purchasing, storing, cleaning, etc.

Note that the term "thermal insulation" used in the heat retention stand and heat retention source of the present invention refers not only to heating and heat retention using a heating element, but also to cooling and heat retention, such as when ice cream or the like is kept at a low temperature using a cooling pipe.
