Abstract
A barbecue is illuminated by a light integrated into a shelf. The shelf may be hinged so that it folds into the barbecue for storage. A barbecue as is known in the art has an enclosing lid or cover. The shelves provide flat surfaces upon which food, plates, or other items may be supported. This provides additional work space to the chef. The shelves may be stationary or may fold into the barbecue. One of the shelves may have a lamp that articulates upwardly to illuminate the grill in times of insufficient light. The lamp also conforms to an exterior-interior circumference or perimeter of one of the shelves in order to provide convenient and unobtrusive means by which illumination can be provided when needed.
Claims20
A barbecue device comprising the combination of:
- a heat-producing member having a first, laterally-extending shelf-forming member adapted to be about positioned adjacent relative to said heat-producing member;
- said first, laterally-extending shelf-forming member having a polygonal configuration and having associated therewith a lighting device adapted to about conform to the configuration of said first, laterally-extending shelf member, an energy source for said lighting device being positioned in ambient-element-protected location relative to said shelf-forming member.
A barbecue device comprising the combination of:
- a heat-producing member having a first, laterally-extending shelf-forming member adapted to be about positioned relative to said heat-producing member;
- said first, laterally-extending shelf-forming member having a polygonal configuration and having associated therewith a lighting device adapted to about conform to the configuration of said first, laterally-extending shelf member;
- a flexible extension conformable to a circumference of said first, laterally-extending shelf member, said lighting device coupled to said first, laterally-extending shelf member by said flexible extension;
- a cover congruent in shape to said heat-producing member so as to provide a proper fit between said cover and said heat-producing member, said cover covering said heat-producing member;
- an energizing system for said lighting device, said energizing system supplying energy to said lighting device and enabling said lighting device to emit light, said energizing system being positioned in ambient-element-protected location relative to said shelf-forming member;
- and
- a linkage member coupling to said flexible extension to said energizing system, said linkage member providing a base for said flexible extension adjacent said first, laterally-extending shelf-forming member.
