Portable bar counter

Abstract

Portable bar counter having a rectangular prismatic profile. The counter having a first closed configuration, adapted for transporting the counter and a second open configuration adapted for use of the counter, the counter including a support structure, a system of panels that are movable with respect to surface hinges, and connected to the structure due to further hinges, a work surface; at least one shelf; at least two shoulders connected to the surface due to hinges that allow spatially orienting the shoulders vertically with respect to the surface; at least one stabilizing support to be placed orthogonally along the front edges of the surface counter the counter being characterized in that the assembly between its components occurs due to mortise joints represented by cavities and projections mating with each other, the mortise joints also being covered by the metal layer showing magnetic properties, or by the layer of rubberized material.

1 . A portable bar counter, provided on the lower part with wheels, comprising a plurality of components, with rectangular prismatic profile, that can be assembled together, said counter having a first closed configuration, adapted for the transport of said counter and a second open configuration adapted for the use of the counter, said counter comprising: a support structure in turn comprising at least two vertical rods, at least one vertical surface arranged parallel to said rods and as wide as the distance between said rods, at least one pair of rods orthogonal to the rods and to the surface and joining said rods with said surface; a system of panels that are movable with respect to surface hinges, and connected to said structure, due to further surface hinges; a work surface; at least one shelf; at least two shoulders connected to said surface due to surface hinges that allow spatially orienting said shoulders vertically with respect to the surface; at least one stabilizing support to be placed orthogonally along the front edges of the surface of the counter, said bar counter wherein the assembly between its components occurs due to the mortise joints represented by cavities and projections mating with each other, said mortise joints being further covered by the metal layer showing magnetic properties, or by the layer of rubberized material. 
     
     
         2 . The portable bar counter according to  claim 1 , wherein the mortise joints can be found on the lateral and opposite edges of the lower surface of the work surface; on the upper edges of the lateral panels; at the edges of the smaller sides of the support; on the edges of the shoulders and on the lower surface of the shelf. 
     
     
         3 . The portable bar counter, according to  claim 2 , wherein when in closed configuration, said counter comprises the cover adapted to maintain in compact form the components comprised in said counter, in a manner such that said components form a parallelepiped structure, said cover being reversibly placed and fixed on said compacted components by means of common hooks. 
     
     
         4 . The portable bar counter, according to  claim 3 , wherein the work surface is foldable, said surface having at least two panels that are movable with respect to a common surface hinge system. 
     
     
         5 . The portable bar counter, according to  claim 4 , wherein the shelf is foldable, said shelf comprising at least two panels that are movable with respect to a common surface hinge system. 
     
     
         6 . The portable bar counter, according to  claim 5 , wherein the stabilizing support is foldable, said stabilizing support comprising at least two panels that are movable with respect to surface hinges. 
     
     
         7 . The portable bar counter, according to  claim 6 , wherein it has at least one housing, said housing being a cavity or a hole, adapted to receive a common ice-carrier tray. 
     
     
         8 . The portable bar counter, according to  claim 7 , wherein it comprises at least one shelf to be inserted, with systems of known type, in the lower part of the counter, below the work surface, and adapted to stabilize said counter when in open configuration. 
     
     
         9 . The portable bar counter, according to  claim 8 , wherein it has, on the surface, at least one hole adapted to allow the exit and the access to the projecting portion of a common system for distributing beer and in that it possesses, below said hole, the space necessary for stowing at least one keg containing beer. 
     
     
         10 . The portable bar counter, according to  claim 9 , wherein it has, at at least two corners of the work surface and/or at at least two corners of the shelf, at least one circular hole or one cavity, said holes or cavities being optionally internally threaded and each adapted to fix at least one telescopic rod and/or one rod that can be modulated to be vertically extended with respect to the work surface and/or to the shelf in a manner so as to generate a system of at least two, preferably at least four rods that are telescopic and/or can be modulated, said rods that are telescopic and/or can be modulated having the end, directed downward, externally smooth or threaded, and the end, directed upward, U-shaped, each of said ends being adapted to allow the coupling or the support, with means of known type, of a common cover.
