Support assembly for cooking utensils

A support assembly for utensils utilized in cooking food over a source of heat such as a campfire or the like, said assembly including a vertical elongated member generally U-shaped in cross-section having a central longitudinal axis and having a series of horizontally aligned detent notches formed in the vertical side margins of the member, a horizontal arm having at its free end attaching means for detachably securing a cooking utensil to the arm, said arm at its other end being adjustably joined to said vertical member by two vertically spaced horizontal plates attached to said arm and each of said plates having a circular aperture therethrough sized to closely accomodate said vertical member, the corresponding aperture margins nearest said arm being horizontally spaced a distance substantially equal to the depth of the detent notches on said vertical member, whereby tilting the arm to align the centers of said apertures with the central longitudinal axis of said vertical member permits said vertical member to extend through said apertures and said spaced plates with attached arm to slide along said vertical member and to seat in selected ones of said notches when said arm is positioned substantially normal to said vertical member and alternate ones of said vertically spaced horizontal plates enter said notches as said arm is pivoted through 180.degree. in a horizontal plane about said vertical members.
