Claims17
Foldable grill grid, subdivided in substantially planar, subsequent grid sections, the grid comprising at least a first grid section, a second grid section and one or more central grid sections positioned between the first and the second grid section, wherein the central grid sections comprise two opposite and parallel hinge sides, and wherein the first and the second grid section each comprise one hinge side, parallel to and adjoining the hinge side of an adjacent central grid section;
- wherein the grid sections comprise a plurality of parallel and mutually equidistant grid rods, which are interconnected by one or more support rods, wherein the support rods are positioned at the same side of the unfolded grid;
- wherein the first grid section is hingedly connected with one hinge side to one of the hinge sides of one of the central grid sections, wherein the second grid section is hingedly connected with one hinge side to one of the hinge sides of one of the central grid sections, and wherein each central grid section is hingedly connected with each of its hinge sides to a hinge side of at least one of the grid sections;
- wherein the grid rods of the central grid sections are parallel with the hinge sides of the central grid sections, and wherein the grid rods of the first and second grid sections are parallel with the hinge side of the first and second grid sections;
- wherein at least one of the first grid section or the adjoining central grid section comprise at least one, alignment elements, which extends beyond the at least one grid section and parallel thereto past the hinge side of the at least one grid section adjoining the hinge side of the other grid section, thereby limiting the hinging of the two adjoining grid sections to an angle of about 180° in at least one direction of rotation;
- wherein at least one of the second grid section or the adjoining central grid section comprise at least one, alignment elements, which extends beyond the at least one grid section and parallel thereto past the hinge side of the at least one grid section adjoining the hinge side of the other grid section, thereby limiting the hinging of the two adjoining grid sections to an angle of about 180° in at least one direction of rotation.
