Burner Assembly with Rocker Panel

Abstract

Disclosed herein is an embodiment of a cover for a barbecue grill side burner assembly. The cover is defined by a top wall and side walls which depend from the perimeter of the top wall. The side walls are provided with a contoured lower edge that define a fulcrum for the cover. The burner assembly includes a recessed portion with a ledge extending about its perimeter. The cover is supported within the recessed portion by the side walls, which sit on the ledge, whereby the top wall of the cover is approximately flush with the top surface of the burner assembly housing. The cover can be removed by pressing on a portion of the cover on one side of the fulcrum. This causes the portion of the cover on the opposite side of the fulcrum to emerge from the recessed portion whereby the cover can be gripped and removed from the burner assembly.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
