Abstract
A portable grill comprising a base frame constructed from angle iron or other suitable material having two pair of folding legs running from the front to the back on opposite sides of the base, having two grill support frames each with a sliding guide extending upward at the longitudinal center axis of a base frame, a removable coal tray resting inside the base, a grill rack substantially equal to but less than the width and length of the tray, where the grill rack has a plurality of V-shaped laterally running top bars pitched at an angle to allow grease to drain into a grease catcher located at the lower end of the grill rack, and a means for raising and lowering the grill rack.
Claims10
A portable grill of the type primarily designed for selective positioning between a collapsed, stored position and an open, operative position, said portable grill comprising:
- (a) a base frame including a front and a back disposed in spaced relation to one another and oppositely disposed spaced apart sides, said front, back and sides collectively defining a substantially closed peripheral configuration,
- (b) support means comprising a plurality of stanchions spaced from one another and each fixedly secured to said base frame at a junction between said front and each of said sides and said back and each of said sides,
- (c) said plurality of stanchions disposed in substantially parallel relation to one another and in transverse relation to said base frame, the latter being secured to each stanchion at a location substantially intermediate the ends of each stanchion, each stanchion extending outwardly in opposite directions from a top and a bottom of said base frame a predetermined distance,
- (d) two pair of legs foldably interconnected to said base frame and selectively positionable between an extended supporting position and a collapsed stored position,
- (e) two grill support frames foldably interconnected to said support means and selectively positionable between a collapsed stored position and an upstanding, operative position,
- (f) a coal tray removably mounted in supported relation on said base frame and being dimensioned and configured for positioning within said closed peripheral configuration,
- (g) a grill rack having a dimension substantially equal to but less than said coal tray and configured for stored disposition therein,
- (h) positioning means for raising and lowering said grill rack,
- (i) said leg pairs being pivotally connected adjacent one end of cooperatively positioned ones of said stanchions extending outwardly from the bottom of said base frame and said two grill support frames pivotally connected to adjacent opposite ends of said cooperatively positioned stanchions, and
- (j) said leg pairs and said two grills support frames being pivotal relative to said stanchions into a folded, substantially parallel orientation relative to said base frame, said predetermined distance of extension of said stanchions being sufficient to dispose said leg pairs and grill support frames within the boundaries of said stanchions defined by the longitudinal dimension thereof.
