El objeto de la presente invencion recae, en un util especialmente disenado estructuralmente para facilitar el transporte de una pluralidad de platos de un servicio de mesa con una sola mano de manera segura y comoda, siendo especialmente aplicable para su utilizacion por parte de camareros y personal similar en establecimientos de restauracion.The object of the present invention resides, in a tool specially designed structurally to facilitate the transport of a plurality of plates of a table service with a single hand in a safe and comfortable manner, being especially applicable for its use by waiters and staff similar in restaurants.

CAMPO DE APLICACION DE LA INVENCIONFIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION

El campo de aplicacion de la presente invencion se enmarca dentro del sector de la industria dedicada a la fabricacion de enseres y utensilios de uso cotidiano, centrandose particularmente en el ambito de dispositivos y utensilios destinados en especial al ambito de la restauracion.The field of application of the present invention is part of the sector of the industry dedicated to the manufacture of household goods and utensils, focusing particularly on the field of devices and utensils intended especially for the field of restoration.

ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIONBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Como es sabido, en los establecimientos de restauracion, los camareros y demas personal que sirven y recogen las mesas deben transportar los platos de cada comensal desde la cocina a la mesa y viceversa, siendo frecuente que, para agilizar el trabajo y realizar el menor numero de viajes posible, lleven varios platos a la vez, lo cual, sobre todo cuando se trata de platos llenos de comida para servir, y que por tanto no se pueden apilar, hace que a menudo se convierta en una tarea complicada que requiere de mucha practica y equilibrio y que, aun asi, dificilmente hace posible transportar mas de dos platos con una sola mano.As is known, in catering establishments, waiters and other staff who serve and collect tables must transport the dishes of each guest from the kitchen to the table and vice versa, frequently, to expedite the work and perform the least number travel possible, take several dishes at a time, which, especially when it comes to plates full of food to serve, and therefore can not be stacked, makes it often becomes a complicated task that requires much practice and balance and that, even so, hardly makes it possible to transport more than two dishes with one hand.

El objetivo de la presente invencion es, pues, proporcionar al mercado un util especialmente disenado para facilitar dicha tarea y poder realizar el transporte de varios platos sin apilar de una sola vez y con una sola mano de manera totalmente segura y comoda.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide the market with a utility specially designed to facilitate said task and to be able to carry out the transport of several dishes without being stacked at once and with only one hand in a totally safe and comfortable way.

Por otra parte, y como referencia al estado actual de la tecnica, cabe senalar que, al menos por parte del solicitante, se desconoce la existencia de ningun otro util para transportar platos, ni ninguna otra invencion de aplicacion similar, que presente unas caracteristicas tecnicas y estructurales iguales o semejantes a las que presenta el que aqui se reivindica.On the other hand, and as a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, at least on the part of the applicant, the existence of any other tool for transporting plates, or any other invention of similar application, which has some technical characteristics is unknown. and structural equal or similar to those presented here claimed.

Preferentemente, la barra se sujeta por su extremo inferior, donde opcionalmente incorpora una empunadura que hace mas ergonomica dicha sujecion, sin embargo no se descartan otras opciones, ya que tambien podria sujetar por la zona media o por la parte superior.Preferably, the bar is held at its lower end, where it optionally incorporates a grip that makes said grip more ergonomic, however other options are not ruled out, since it could also be held by the middle or upper part.

Opcionalmente, ademas, cuando el mango se situa en el extremo inferior de la barra, justo bajo el mismo, cuenta con un angulo para ayudar con el antebrazo a equilibrar el peso cuando la barra esta llena de platos insertados en las muescas, de las cuales se contempla la incorporacion de un numero considerable, quedando a eleccion de cada camarero, en funcion de su destreza, fuerza y peso de los platos, el numero de los mismo que incorpore en cada viaje.Optionally, in addition, when the handle is located at the lower end of the bar, just under it, has an angle to help the forearm to balance the weight when the bar is full of plates inserted into the notches, of which the incorporation of a considerable number is contemplated, being at the choice of each waiter, according to his dexterity, strength and weight of the dishes, the number of them that he incorporates in each trip.

En cualquier caso, las citadas muescas para encajar los platos, ademas de repartidas a lo largo de la barra, tambien estan repartidas alrededor de la superficie cilindrica de la misma, para equilibrar el peso del conjunto al ir colocando los platos, pudiendo ir situadas en forma de espiral o alternativamente en lados diametralmente opuestos de la barra.In any case, the said notches to fit the plates, in addition to distributed along the bar, are also distributed around the cylindrical surface of the same, to balance the weight of the assembly to be placing the dishes, being able to be located in spiral shape or alternatively on diametrically opposite sides of the bar.

Ventajosamente, cada una de las muescas de la barra incorpora una marca, preferentemente numeral, para facilitar que el usuario sepa a que comensal de la mesa corresponde cada uno de los platos que lleva en el util transportador.Advantageously, each of the notches of the bar incorporates a mark, preferably numeral, to facilitate the user to know that Each of the dishes carried on the utility conveyor corresponds to the table.

Preferentemente, la barra cuenta tambien con una base inferior que permite su sustentacion de modo independiente sobre la mesa u otra superficie horizontal, sin necesidad de sujetarla, al menos estando vacia de platos y, preferentemente, con estabilidad suficiente para que se sustente tambien con platos.Preferably, the bar also has a lower base that allows it to be supported independently on the table or another horizontal surface, without the need to hold it, at least when empty of dishes and, preferably, with sufficient stability to also support dishes .

Por ultimo, cabe destacar que, opcionalmente, el util incorpora ademas, por ejemplo en las proximidades del extremo inferior de la barra, o colgando de dicha base, un receptaculo apto para colocar cubiertos u otros elementos o enseres.Finally, it should be noted that, optionally, the tool also incorporates, for example in the vicinity of the lower end of the bar, or hanging from said base, a receptacle suitable for placing cutlery or other items or appliances.
