First, FIG. 1 shows a table 1 installed in each passenger seat of the guest room S1, a partition housing 2 arranged along the front of the kitchen room S2 or along each table 1, and a food and drink transport device 3 installed on the partition housing 2. This is a plan view of the interior of a sushi store equipped with
As shown in FIG. 2, the partition housing 2 has a cross-section box shape from side plates 21 and 22 facing each other at a predetermined interval, and an upper plate 23 and a bottom plate (not shown) connecting the upper and lower ends of both side plates 21 and 22. A first housing part 2a which is disposed along the front surface of the kitchen room S2 and separates the kitchen room S2 and the guest room S1, and is bent from both longitudinal ends of the first housing part 2a. The second and third housing portions 2b and 2c extend in parallel in the cabin S1.
The table 1 described above is installed outside the side plates 21 and 22 in the second and third housing portions 2b and 2c.
The food and drink transport device 3 includes a recess 31 provided in the upper plate 23 of each housing portion 2a, 2b, and 2c, and an endless crescent chain 32 that circulates in the recess 31 by driving a motor. .

The food and drink transport apparatus 3 described above is for circulating and transporting a dish 30 containing food and drink such as sushi from the kitchen room S2 to each table 1. In the food and drink transport apparatus 3, for example, sushi is served. The served dishes 30 are sequentially placed on the crescent chain 32 and transported from the kitchen room S2 toward the tables 1 in the guest room S1, and the customers of each table 1 are served with the favorite sushi R. Is properly taken out from the crescent chain 32 and eaten.
As is known, the dish 30 includes a disk-shaped dish body 30a and a cylindrical plateau 30b protruding downward from the lower surface of the dish body 30a.

The present invention relates to the cover of the plate 30 described above, and this cover will be described next.
The cover indicated by reference numeral 4 in FIGS. 3 to 6 basically has a substantially truncated cone-shaped cover body 5, a knob 6 attached to the cover body 5, and the knob 6 attached to and detached from the cover body 5. The detachable means 7 is made possible.
The cover body 5 is formed of a transparent plastic resin, and is formed of a cylindrical peripheral wall 51 and a circular upper wall 52 that closes the upper end of the peripheral wall 51. A flange 53 protruding outward in the direction is integrally formed.
The knob 6 is formed by bending an iron plate, which is a ferromagnetic material, into a dogleg shape to form a mounting piece 61 and a knob 62 that bends 90 degrees with respect to the mounting piece 61 as shown in FIG. The mounting piece 61 is a constituent member of the attaching / detaching means 7 described later.

The attaching / detaching means 7 includes an iron plate mounting piece 61 constituting the knob 6 and a magnet 8 that can be attracted to the mounting piece 61, and the magnet 8 is arranged on the cover body 5 as shown in FIG. 3. The wall 52 is fixed at the center.
A large number of cover main bodies 5 are prepared, and the same number of cover main bodies 5 in which the magnets 8 are arranged so that the upper surface is the north pole and the cover main bodies 5 in which the magnets 8 are arranged so that the upper surface is the south pole are formed. ing.
Further, the surface on the N pole side and the surface on the S pole side of the magnet 8 are colored with different colors, so that when the cover body 5 is stacked and stored, the color of the upper surface of the magnet 8 becomes a different color in order. The cover body 5 is stacked and stored.
Thus, in the overlapped cover body 5, the lower surface of the magnet 8 of the cover body 5 located on the upper side and the upper surface of the magnet 8 of the cover body 5 located on the lower side become the same magnetic pole and overlap with each other in the vertical direction. Since the five magnets 8 repel each other, the stacked cover bodies 5 can be easily picked up one by one from the top.

Next, the usage example of the above cover 4 is demonstrated.
First, the cover main body 5 is stacked on the work table in the kitchen room S2 so that the colors of the upper surfaces of the magnets 8 are sequentially different. Accordingly, as described above, the cover main body 5 located on the upper side is stacked. Since the lower surface of the magnet 8 and the upper surface of the magnet 8 of the cover main body 5 positioned on the lower side are the same magnetic pole, the magnets 8 of the cover main body 5 that overlap vertically are repelling each other. Can be picked up one by one from the top.
And in order to cover the cover 4 on the plate 30 on which the sushi R is placed in the kitchen room S2, the knob 62 of the knob 6 is held by hand, and as shown in FIG. After attaching the attachment piece 61 to the magnet 8 of the cover body 5, as shown in FIG. 5, the knob 6 is lifted upward to pick up the cover body 5 at the uppermost position. As shown in FIG. 5 is placed on a plate 30 on which sushi is placed, and the plate 30 is fed onto the crescent chain 32 of the food and drink conveying device 3.

On the other hand, the customer lowers the plate 30 conveyed by the crescent chain 32 onto the table 1, then lifts the knob 62 and removes the cover body 5 from the plate 30 to eat the sushi on the plate 30.
Thus, since the cover 4 can be attached or detached without directly touching the cover body 5 by the customer as well as the employees of the kitchen, the surface of the transparent cover body 5 is not inadvertently soiled.
When cleaning the cover 4, when it is desired to remove the knob 6 from the cover body 5 and clean only the dirty knob 6, the knob 6 can be tilted laterally with respect to the cover body 5 by holding the knob 62. In this case, the attachment of the attachment piece 61 to the magnet 8 is released, and the knob 6 can be easily removed from the cover main body 5, so that only the knob 6 can be easily cleaned.

In the above embodiment, the magnet 8 may be fixed to the attachment piece 61 of the knob 6.
In this case, the bottom surface of the fixed magnet 8 is prepared with N pole and S pole, and the bottom surface is N pole corresponding to the magnetic pole on the top surface of the magnet 8 attached to the cover body 5 located at the top. Or those of the S pole are arbitrarily selected and used.

In the above-described embodiment, the magnet 8 is attached to the cover main body 5, but an iron plate ferromagnetic plate is fixed to the center of the upper surface of the cover main body 5, and as shown in FIG. A magnet 8 may be attached to 61. In this case, the knob 6 may be formed from a synthetic resin panel, for example.

8 to 9 show a second embodiment of the cover 4 according to the present invention.
The knob 60 shown in FIGS. 8 to 9 is formed by bending a strip-like flexible plastic plate into a substantially Ω shape, and includes a pair of knob pieces 63 facing each other, and these knob pieces 63. And a pair of hook pieces 64 extending in a direction away from each other.
On the other hand, a locking hole 54 is formed in the center of the upper wall 52 of the cover body 50, and the locking hole 54, the hook piece 64 and the knob piece 63 constitute the attaching / detaching means 7.
That is, the attaching / detaching means 7 shown in FIGS. 8 to 9 pushes the pair of knobs 63 by hand and pushes them in directions close to each other to elastically deform them, thereby bringing the left and right hook pieces 63 close to each other. The piece 63 is allowed to pass through the locking hole 54, and the pair of knobs 63 are elastically deformed in a direction away from each other by releasing the pressing of the knob 63 from a state in which the hook 63 is inserted into the locking hole 54. It engages with the peripheral part of the locking hole 54.

Even in the cover 4 of the above embodiment, since the cover 4 can be attached or detached without directly touching the cover main body 5 by customers as well as employees of the kitchen, the surface of the transparent cover main body 5 can be removed. It won't get inadvertently dirty.
When cleaning the cover 4, if it is desired to remove the knob 60 from the cover body 5 and clean only the dirty knob 6, it is elastically deformed by pushing the pair of knob pieces 63 toward each other while picking them by hand. The knob 6 can be easily removed from the cover body 5 and cleaned simply by removing the left and right hook pieces 63 from the locking holes 54.

Further, in the third embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 to 11, the knob 600 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape from a flexible polystyrene that can be elastically deformed, and has a ring-shaped annular groove on the lower outer peripheral surface. 601 is formed, and the upper part of the annular groove 601 is a knob 602 and the lower part of the annular groove 601 is an engaging part 603.
Then, the outer diameter of the engaging portion 603 is formed to be slightly larger than the inner diameter of the locking hole 54 formed in the upper wall 52 of the cover body 5, and the engaging portion 603 is pushed into the locking hole 54. Thus, the engaging portion 603 passes through the locking hole 54 while being elastically deformed.

Even in the cover 4 of the above embodiment, not only employees but also customers can attach or remove the cover 4 without touching the cover body 5 directly, so the surface of the transparent cover body 5 is inadvertent Do not get dirty.
Further, when cleaning the cover 4, if it is desired to remove the knob 600 from the cover body 5 and clean only the dirty knob 600, simply pick the knob 00 and lift it upward with respect to the cover body 5. The joint portion 603 passes through the locking hole 54 while being elastically deformed, and the knob 600 can be easily removed from the cover body 5.
