DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for providing goods on a rotatable dining table, in which the traveling path can be moved up and down freely, lowered during a time period when the number of customers is small, and provided on the lowered traveling path. It is.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known a rotary eating and drinking table of this type in which separate crescent chains are arranged on the inner and outer circumferences on the same plane in two upper and lower stages.

[0003]

Conventionally, as described above, it is possible to circulate only one of the inner and outer crescent chains during a time period when the number of customers is small, but the crescent chain on the side not circulated. Remains in the installed state, which becomes a problem when a shop employee waits on a customer or when a customer selects a product.

[0004] In view of the above drawbacks, the present invention lowers the patrol transport path during times when the number of customers is small,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and an apparatus for providing a product in a rotating dining table that do not become annoying.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, there is provided a rotary eating and drinking table provided with a crescent chain for cyclically transporting goods above a base. In a time period when there is little, the traveling route is lowered, the traveling route is stopped, the product mounting table corresponding to the traveling route is mounted on the traveling route, and the product is placed on the product loading stage. What is characterized by being provided and placed, or the cyclic transport path formed by the crescent chain is two stages up and down,
It is characterized in that goods or teacups are transported on each of the traveling transport paths, and the upper traveling transport path is lowered to the lower level during a time period when the number of customers is small.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A product providing device for a rotary dining table according to the present invention has the following configuration as shown in FIGS.

The rotary dining table used in the present invention includes a base 12
A crescent chain 18 for circulating and transporting a commodity 14, in this example, a sushi plate 16 on which sushi is placed, is provided above the base 12, and a counter 20 is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the base 12.

[0008] Below the outer circumference of the cyclic transport path 22 formed by the crescent chain 18, a cyclic transport path 26 formed by another crescent chain 24 is disposed.

In the present embodiment, the product 14 is provided on the upper round transport path 22 and the cup 28 is provided on the lower round transport path 26.

The base 12 provided with the upper and lower circulating transport paths 22 and 26 is movable up and down.

In this embodiment, the lifting means for the base 12 is a hydraulic jack 30, and three hydraulic jacks are provided at lower portions on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the base 12.

FIG. 3 shows a product mounting table 32 used when the crece chain 18 stops traveling.

The product mounting table 32 is located on the upper circulating transport path 2.
2 and is inclined downward from the crescent chain 18 toward the counter 20 in order to make it easier for the customer to see when the product 14 is placed.

In the drawings, reference numeral 34 denotes a gear box, 36 denotes a gear motor, 38 denotes a product (spread) case, and 40 denotes a work table.

A method of using the present apparatus to provide a spatter 16 on which a product 14 is placed on a rotating dining table will be described in detail below.

First, the material tray 16 on which the products 14 are placed is sequentially supplied from a predetermined location on the upper traveling transport path 22, and a cup 28 is sequentially supplied from a predetermined location on the lower traveling transport path 26.

In a time period when the number of customers is small, patrol of each of the crescent chains 18 and 24 is stopped, and the upper patrol transport path 22 is lowered to the position of the lower patrol transport path 26.
A product mounting table 32 is mounted on the upper round transport path 22,
The product 14 is directly mounted on the product mounting table 32 and provided.

At this time, since the unused lower transport path 26 is stored below the counter 20, it does not become an obstacle when the shop employee waits on a customer or selects a customer's product.

Further, since the unused lower traveling transport path 26 is stored below the counter 20, the customer does not know the existence of the rotating eating and drinking stand, and the shop is in accordance with the customer's order as in a normal sushi restaurant. Can hold the sushi and place it on the product placement table 32 to provide it, giving a sense of quality.

In this embodiment, the rotary eating and drinking table is provided with separate traveling transport paths 22 and 26 in the upper and lower two stages. However, the rotating eating and drinking table having only one traveling transport path is provided. It is free to do.

Although each of the cyclic transport paths 22 and 26 has a rectangular shape, any other shape such as a curve, a waveform, or the like may be used.

Further, during a time period when the number of customers is small, the upper traveling transport path 22 is lowered to the position of the lower traveling transport path 26, and the product mounting table 32 is mounted on the upper traveling transport path 22 for use. By circulating the crescent chain 18 without using the product mounting table 32, it is also possible to use the material plate 16, on which the products 14 are mounted, on the upper circulating transport path 22, by performing a circular transport.

It is also possible to use the lower round transport path 26 together with the lower round transport path 26 without lowering the upper round transport path 22. It is also possible to use the product mounting table 32 mounted on each of the round transport paths 22 and 26 by using the same shape as that of the product loading table 32.

The raising and lowering means of the base 12 provided with the two round transport paths 22 and 26 are six hydraulic jacks 30. The number of the hydraulic jacks 30 may be one or more. It is free to adopt a structure that can be raised and lowered, for example, a shaft and a motor that drives the shaft, an air cylinder, and other structures.

[0025]

According to the method and the apparatus for providing goods in a rotating dining table according to the present invention, during a time period when the number of customers is small,
By lowering the traveling transport path, there is no obstruction when a store employee serves a customer or when a customer selects a product.

Further, by lowering the traveling conveyance path and mounting a product mounting table on the traveling conveyance path, the customer does not know the existence of the rotating dining table, and can order the customer in the same manner as a normal sushi restaurant. In accordance with the above, the store employee can hold the sushi and place it on the product mounting table and provide it, giving a sense of quality.

[0027] In a rotary eating and drinking table having a round traveling path arranged in two stages, the same effect can be obtained by lowering the upper traveling path to the position of the lower traveling path.
