Abstract
A kitchen stand assembly for holding cookware at a tilted orientation includes a base and a set of channels that extend through the base. Each channel of the set of channels includes an inlet and an outlet that is angularly offset from the inlet. A set of rods are coupled to the base. Each rod of the set of rods is positioned in a respective channel of the set of channels. The set of rods are angled to extend downwardly through the base and outwardly relative to each other to define a cradle that is designed to support a cookware above the base.
Claims18
A stand device comprising:
- a base;
- a set of channels extending through the base, each channel of the set of channels
- including:
- an inlet;
- and
- an outlet being angularly offset from the inlet;
- and
- a set of rods being coupled to the base, each rod of the set of rods being positioned in a respective channel of the set of channels whereby the set of rods are angled to extend downwardly through the base and outwardly relative to each other to define a cradle being configured to support a cookware above the base.

A stand device comprising:
- a base having a top wall, a bottom wall, and a peripheral wall being coupled to and extending between the top wall and the bottom wall, the top wall being circular, the bottom wall being circular, the top wall being planar, the bottom wall being planar, the base having a central axis extending vertically between the top wall and the bottom wall, the central axis being centered on each of the top wall and the bottom wall wherein the central axis extends perpendicularly to each of the top wall and the bottom wall;
- a set of channels extending through the base, the set of channels being equidistantly spaced from each other relative to the central axis of the base, each channel of the set of channels including:
- an inlet extending inwardly through the top wall;
- and
- an outlet extending outwardly through the bottom wall, the outlet being angularly offset from the inlet wherein the inlet and the outlet of each channel of the set of channels defines an angle being between 30.0° and 60.0°, the outlet of each channel of the set of channels being spaced from the central axis by a distance exceeding a distance between the inlet of an associated channel of the set of channels and the central axis wherein each channel of the set of channels is angled to extend downwardly through the top wall and outwardly toward the peripheral wall of the base;
- a set of rods being coupled to the base, each rod of the set of rods being positioned in a respective channel of the set of channels wherein each rod of the set of rods extends inwardly through the inlet and outwardly through the outlet of the respective channel of the set of channels whereby the set of rods are angled to extend downwardly through the top wall of the base and outwardly toward the peripheral wall of the base to define a cradle being configured to support a cookware above the base, the set of rods being equivalent in size, the set of rods having a length exceeding a distance between the top wall and the bottom wall of the base wherein the set of rods extend downwardly past the bottom wall whereby the set of rods are configured to support the base above a surface, the angle of each channel of the set of channels being configured to tilt the cookware toward the surface while the cookware is supported above the base wherein the set of rods are configured to facilitate a user in emptying the cookware, each rod of the set of rods including:
- an upper end being positioned above the top wall of the base, each rod of the set of rods being movably positioned within the respective channel of the set of channels wherein the set of rods are upwardly and downwardly movable relative to the base to adjust a size of the cradle whereby movement of the set of rods within the set of channels is configured to facilitate adjustment of a size of the cookware being supported by the set of rods above the base;
- and
- a lower end being positioned beneath the bottom wall of the base wherein downward movement of the upper end of each rod of the set of rods moves the lower end of each rod of the set of rods downwardly away from the bottom wall of the base and wherein downward movement of the lower end of each rod of the set of rods increases a distance between the lower end of each rod of the set of rods whereby adjustment of the distance between the lower end of each rod of the set of rods is configured to facilitate adjustment of a weight of the cookware being supportable by the set of rods;
- a set of end caps being coupled to the set of rods wherein each of the upper end and the lower end of each rod of the set of rods is covered by a respective end cap of the set of end caps, the set of end caps comprising a roughened material being configured to increase friction between the lower end of each rod of the set of rods and the surface whereby the set of end caps are configured to stabilize a position of the base above the surface, the set of end caps having a diameter exceeding a diameter of the set of channels wherein the set of end caps are configured to secure each rod of the set of rods within the respective channel of the set of channels;
- and
- a notch extending inwardly through the peripheral wall of the base, the notch being concavely arcuate wherein the notch is configured to be positionable around the cookware while the cookware is positioned adjacent to the base to facilitate angling the cookware toward the surface.
