Abstract
A grilling assembly for grilling over an open flame includes a frame that is tripoidal. A shaft is rotationally coupled by a first end to the frame. The shaft extends from proximate to an apex of the frame toward a base of the frame. A power module and a motor are coupled to the frame. The motor is operationally coupled to the power module and the shaft. The motor is positioned to rotate the shaft. A grate is coupled to a second end of the shaft. The grate is configured to position substantially horizontally over an open flame, such as a campfire. The grate is positioned to rotate coincident with the shaft such that food items that are positioned on the grate are positioned to be heated by the open flame.
Claims12
A grilling assembly comprising:
- a frame, said frame being tripoidal;
- a shaft rotationally coupled by a first end to said frame, said shaft extending from proximate to an apex of said frame toward a base of said frame, said shaft being squarely shaped when viewed longitudinally;
- a power module coupled to said frame;
- a motor coupled to said frame, said motor being operationally coupled to said power module and said shaft;
- a grate coupled to a second end of said shaft;
- wherein said motor is positioned on said frame such that said motor is positioned for rotating said shaft, wherein said grate is positioned on said shaft such that said grate is configured for positioning substantially horizontally over an open flame, such as a campfire, and wherein said grate is positioned for rotating coincident with said shaft such that food items positioned on said grate are positioned for heating by the open flame;
- a gearbox coupled to and extending from said motor;
- a cogwheel and a meshing gear positioned in said gearbox, said meshing gear being gearedly coupled to said motor, said cogwheel being gearedly coupled to said meshing gear;
- an opening axially positioned through said cogwheel, said opening being complementary to said shaft;
- a channel positioned through said gearbox, said channel being aligned with said opening;
- and
- wherein said channel is positioned through said gearbox such that said channel is positioned for inserting said shaft through said opening such that said shaft is slidably coupled to said cogwheel such that said motor is positioned for rotating said shaft.
