Description

Portable Bar Counter

technical field

The invention relates to the field of furnishing elements in public and/or private environments. In more detail, the invention relates to a portable bar counter that is easy to install and disassemble thanks to a specific fit system for its parts. All this takes place without the aid of means such as screws, hooks etc. and suitable tools that are often employed in the installation of said furnishing elements.

Background technique

Bar counters are well known and prevalent in many public institutions. These structures, in particular by their design, unquestionably represent the main elements in the furnishings of public institutions in order to make them aesthetically unique. The principle role of these structures is in any case more functional than aesthetic. The bar counter is suitably designed to contain a plurality of structures arranged to contain a relatively large quantity of goods (usually containing alcohol) that can be easily manually accessed. It's all about making the job of a bartender as practical as possible. Recently, a new type of bar counter has been popularized, which is designed and acquired for being prepared in a temporary manner in environments such as: private and/or public parties, fairs , demonstrations, events such as (by way of non-limiting example) concerts and shows. In all the aforementioned environments (which can occur in both closed and open spaces), it is therefore necessary to utilize this type of structure, thus being able to offer the public the possibility to drink drinks and/or drink aperitifs even in places where it is difficult to find traditional bars possibility.

US patent application US 2011/0204756 A1 describes for this purpose a bar counter that is foldable and portable, has a relatively light weight and is easy to transport at the place of interest if it is also equipped with wheels of.

Document MX2009014223 A describes a portable bar counter made of wood initially configured to resemble a suitcase.

US patent 5,382,087 describes a portable bar counter comprising a variety of different interchangeable parts, which can also be folded and transported like a suitcase, while US patent application US 2009/0249588 A1 describes a bar comprising a suitable grill extension Part of the portable bar counter. Needless to say, the structures described in the above documents have demonstrated the functionality of the objects they conceived and obtained; however, their limitation is the relative difficulty of obtaining and preparing their own structures. More clearly, similar to the above, presently known portable bar counters are structures comprising several elements that have been assembled together and/or can All the instruments necessary to assemble the structure to be assembled together. All of this requires definite proficiency in installing the components of the structure as well as a considerable amount of time. Thus, while efficient for their purpose and especially from a design point of view, portable bar counters are still structures that cannot be done quickly because of their lack of practicality for installation; this latter requirement should be a requirement for all portable transport, temporary installation structures general characteristics.

For this purpose, the industry invention patent application hereinafter described in detail proposes a new and innovative portable bar counter which is openable and closable and which is basically characterized by its simplicity of use and by its Speed and ease of opening and closing. All this without resorting to the assembly tools and systems often employed in the installation of furniture.

Contents of the invention

This industrial invention patent application describes a portable bar counter that is openable and closable, easy to transport considering that it is equipped with Occupy a relatively small volume of space while similar to a highly compact structure). The present portable bar counter can be used in environments such as private and/or public parties, demonstrations, events and in general all those where bar corners (typically but not exclusively) are expected to be provisioned and prepared temporarily in a temporary manner case. This portable bar counter is characterized in all its embodiments by its structural stability endowed by a specific system of joints located in specific points of the elements to be assembled, with consequent speed and ease of opening during the preparation of said bar counter . In more detail, the step of opening the present bar counter typically has a duration of 2 minutes, whereas closing the bar counter takes about 1.5 minutes.

In the closed configuration, the bar counter has a box-like profile and comprises all its parts arranged in such a way as to produce a compact structure. In more detail, in the closed configuration, the bar counter comprises several parts, for example, a tray carrier work surface, at least one upper shelf to be placed above said surface, and a All structural components are supported and supported. Still in more detail, the object of the invention in its closed configuration presents a structure similar to that of a parallelepiped comprising all its parts held stopped by hooks by a suitable cover such that it The manner in which the parallelepiped structure is formed locks these parts in the closed configuration. Once the hooks are disengaged and the cover is removed, installation of the bar counter can be performed in a relatively short period of time. In particular, once all the parts to be assembled have been removed, installation is first performed by acting on parts adapted to represent the load-bearing structure of the bar counter. The structure is thus arranged in an open configuration, suitably orienting the elements representing the front and side support legs of the counter. The legs are already connected to the load-bearing structure thanks to common hinges. In the open configuration, a work surface equipped with all booths necessary for the user to perform bartending activities is then attached on said support structure. The work surface is suitably shaped to include an ice carrier tray. The lower part of the bar counter (i.e. the part below the said surface) is mated with appropriate mortise and tenon joints which not only help in the installation of the counter but also allow for a secure support of the work surface. Said mortise and tenon joints, which may also be found in other parts comprised in counters, represent the main elements characterizing the object of the invention. In more detail, said mortise and tenon joint presents complementary cavities and protrusions adapted to allow the association of these parts. Said mortise and tenon joints can be found at the edges of the parts to be assembled. In order to make the assembly more efficient, the invention provides that, in a particular embodiment, these mortise and tenon joints are covered with a sheet of material having magnetic properties. Alternatively, the mortise and tenon joints (whether they are protrusions or cavities) are covered with a layer of rubber material suitably shaped and dimensioned to securely attach to the mortise and tenon joint. These rubber layers can also be replaced by similar rubber layers after wear. They do double duty: besides ensuring an improved and more stable connection of the parts, they also ensure that the mortise and tenon joints do not deteriorate or become blunt after the pieces are assembled. Once the upper work surface is mounted, the shelves are mounted fixed on at least two shoulders, preferably at least four shoulders, which are anchored to said surface and arranged with magnetic stops so that stabilize it in the closed configuration. The shoulders are also equipped with hooks that allow greater stability of the entire counter thanks to appropriate eyelets located on the work surface. Embodiments of the present bar counter, described in detail hereinafter and which will be more clearly understood from inspection of the accompanying drawings, include optional components adapted to enhance its functionality and at the same time make it aesthetically unique .

In any case, the bar counter that is the object of this description is essentially characterized in all its embodiments by the presence of specific mortise and tenon joints, which are suitably designed and obtained in the contours of the parts to be assembled themselves, so that Makes it easy and fast to install. Advantageously, the above-mentioned mortise and tenon joint allows the absence of elements such as screws, hooks, hinges, etc., and instruments generally employed for mounting similar structures. The utility of the installation and the use of the present bar counter derives from the complementary nature of the system of mortise and tenon joints that characterize the object of the invention.
