Claims22
A replacement link for a rolling grill enclosure comprising:
- a longitudinal body disposed about a longitudinal axis, wherein the longitudinal body comprises a curved longitudinal body;
- a first end grommet contiguous with a first end of the longitudinal body, the first end grommet having a discontinuous first grommet body disposed about a first center, wherein the first center is offset from the longitudinal axis in a first direction;
- and
- a second end grommet contiguous with a second end of the longitudinal body, the second end grommet having a discontinuous second grommet body disposed about a second center, wherein the second center is offset from the longitudinal axis in a second direction, the first center and the second center being on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis, wherein the discontinuous first grommet body and the discontinuous second grommet body each comprises an interior face that is substantially a tear drop shape comprising a first diameter and a second diameter, wherein the first diameter is greater than the second diameter, and a knife edge feature is formed in the discontinuous first grommet body and the discontinuous second grommet body adjacent to a portion of the interior face that has the second diameter, wherein the knife edge feature comprises a flat surface formed between the portion of the interior face that has the second diameter and a curved surface of the curved longitudinal body.

A grill for an enclosure system comprising:
- a first side and a second side opposite the first side;
- a plurality of edge links adjacent the first side and adjacent the second side;
- a plurality of field links disposed between the plurality of edge links;
- and
- a replacement link configured to replace one of the plurality of field links while the plurality of edge links remain in a fixed position, the replacement link comprising:
- a longitudinal body disposed about a longitudinal axis, wherein the longitudinal body comprises a curved longitudinal body;
- a first end grommet contiguous with a first end of the longitudinal body, the first end grommet having a discontinuous first grommet body disposed about a first center, wherein the first center is offset from the longitudinal axis in a first direction;
- and
- a second end grommet contiguous with a second end of the longitudinal body, the second end grommet having a discontinuous second grommet body disposed about a second center, wherein the second center is offset from the longitudinal axis in a second direction, the first center and the second center being on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis, wherein the discontinuous first grommet body and the discontinuous second grommet body each comprise an interior face that is substantially a tear drop shape comprising a first diameter and a second diameter, wherein the first diameter is greater than the second diameter, and a knife edge feature is formed in the discontinuous first grommet body and the discontinuous second grommet body adjacent to a portion of the interior face that has the second diameter, wherein the knife edge feature comprises a flat surface formed between the portion of the interior face that has the second diameter and a curved surface of the curved longitudinal body.
