Description

       

      Appareil    à broche tournante     pour        cuire    des     aliments    en     plein        air       La présente invention a pour objet un appareil  à broche tournante pour cuire des     aliments    en plein  air.  



  Le dessin ci-annexé représente, à titre d'exem  ple, une forme d'exécution de l'appareil selon l'in  vention.  



  Les     fig.    1 et 2 en sont des vues en perspective  dans l'une et l'autre de deux positions, respective  ment.  



  L'appareil comprend, comme foyer destiné à  recevoir un combustible, un récipient     métallique     ajouré R1 dont les bases parallèles P1 et P2 sont  rectangulaires. L'une des faces perpendiculaires à ces  parois est ouverte tandis que deux autres, F1 et F2  sont des grilles parallèles formées soit de fils     métalli-          ques    entrecroisés soit de barres     métalliques    parallèles  espacées de un à trois centimètres ou plus.

   L'appareil  est destiné à pouvoir reposer sur le sol ou sur une  autre surface horizontale par l'intermédiaire d'orga  nes de support     Pla    et     P2a    constitués par des pro  longement desdites parois latérales qui alors sont  donc     verticales    sur sol horizontal.

   Les paliers d'une  broche B 1 sont situés à distance dudit     foyer-réci-          pient,    et sont constitués par les flancs et fonds d'en  tailles e distribuées le long des bords inférieurs d'ou  vertures o faites à partir des bords libres b de van  taux V 1 et V2 articulés audit récipient par des char  nières g placées et     s'étendant    le long des côtés verti  caux respectifs desdites parois Pl, P2 qui sont  communs à ces parois et à une même face verticale  FI dudit récipient dans ladite position.  



  Dans l'appareil, des charnières g' sont     analogue-          ment    placées le long des bords verticaux de la face  opposée du récipient et supportent symétriquement  des vantaux V3 et V4 analogues aux vantaux VI et  V2 et constituant les organes de support pour une  deuxième broche B2 parallèle à la première.    Contre les parois P 1 et P2 sont articulés, par  deux vis à repos sur chacune d'elles, deux organes  de blocage<I>h</I> et<I>h'</I> pouvant coopérer avec les vantaux  articulés aux bords d'une même face F1 ou F2 pour  les     fixer    dans des positions où     ils    sont sensiblement à  angle droit avec cette face comme c'est le cas en  fi-. 1 où les deux broches peuvent être employées  simultanément.

   Cela permet à l'appareil de reposer  sur le sol par les bords libres des deux vantaux  d'une même face,     comme    c'est le cas des vantaux V 1  et V2 en     fig.    2. Contre les parois latérales P1 et P2  sont encore montées des consoles c sur des char  nières     f    transversales à ces parois.  



  Dans la position de la     fig.    1, ces consoles sont  rabattues contre ces parois tandis qu'en     fig.    2 elles  sont placées à angle droit avec elles pour soutenir  les vantaux V3 et V4 dans des positions où     ils    sont  parallèles à la face F2. Dans cette position, on met  le combustible dans un second récipient ajouré R2  introduit comme un tiroir     dans    le premier. Il est fait  d'une tôle perforée de nombreux trous non représen  tés et a sa face supérieure ouverte.  



  On voit en     fig.    2 la face ouverte du récipient R1  par laquelle est introduit le récipient R2. Cette face  est l'une des quatre faces du récipient RI qui ont la  largeur des parois latérales lesquelles ne sont ici pas  ajourées mais pourraient l'être. Cette largeur n'est  ici qu'une fraction de la longueur et de la largeur des  faces FI et F2 en treillis     métallique.     



  On voit encore en     fig.    1, que les quatre vantaux  articulés     Vl    à V4 présentent chacun, plus bas que  les ouvertures o à entailles e recevant les broches,  une deuxième ouvertures permettant le montage,  entre les vantaux articulés d'une même face F1 ou  F2, d'un récipient à sauce non représenté. Les séries  d'entailles e permettent de placer les broches à di  verses distances du foyer.      L'appareil mis dans sa position de la     fig.    2 per  met qu'on pose sur les vantaux horizontaux des  plats ou casseroles qu'on désire chauffer tandis que  la face supérieure F2 peut recevoir des pièces de  viande à griller.



      The present invention relates to a rotary spit apparatus for cooking food outdoors.



  The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example, an embodiment of the apparatus according to the invention.



  Figs. 1 and 2 are perspective views thereof in either of two positions, respectively.



  The apparatus comprises, as a hearth intended to receive a fuel, a perforated metal receptacle R1 whose parallel bases P1 and P2 are rectangular. One of the faces perpendicular to these walls is open, while two others, F1 and F2, are parallel grids formed either of crossed metal wires or of parallel metal bars spaced one to three centimeters or more apart.

   The apparatus is intended to be able to rest on the ground or on another horizontal surface by means of support organs Pla and P2a constituted by extensions of said side walls which are therefore vertical on horizontal ground.

   The bearings of a spindle B 1 are located at a distance from said hearth-receptacle, and are constituted by the sides and bottoms of sizes e distributed along the lower edges of openings o made from the free edges b of van rates V 1 and V2 articulated to said container by hinges g placed and extending along the respective vertical sides of said walls P1, P2 which are common to these walls and to the same vertical face FI of said container in said position .



  In the apparatus, hinges g 'are similarly placed along the vertical edges of the opposite face of the container and symmetrically support leaves V3 and V4 similar to leaves VI and V2 and constituting the support members for a second pin B2 parallel to the first. Against the walls P 1 and P2 are articulated by two screws at rest on each of them, two locking members <I> h </I> and <I> h '</I> able to cooperate with the leaves articulated to the edges of the same face F1 or F2 to fix them in positions where they are substantially at right angles to this face as is the case in fi-. 1 where the two pins can be used simultaneously.

   This allows the device to rest on the ground by the free edges of the two leaves of the same face, as is the case with leaves V 1 and V2 in fig. 2. Against the side walls P1 and P2 are still mounted consoles c on hinges f transverse to these walls.



  In the position of FIG. 1, these consoles are folded against these walls while in fig. 2 they are placed at right angles to them to support the leaves V3 and V4 in positions where they are parallel to the face F2. In this position, the fuel is placed in a second perforated receptacle R2 introduced like a drawer in the first. It is made of a perforated sheet with numerous holes not shown and has its upper face open.



  We see in fig. 2 the open face of the container R1 through which the container R2 is introduced. This face is one of the four faces of the container RI which have the width of the side walls which here are not perforated but could be. This width is here only a fraction of the length and the width of the faces FI and F2 in the metallic mesh.



  We can still see in fig. 1, that the four articulated leaves Vl to V4 each have, lower than the openings o with notches e receiving the pins, a second openings allowing the mounting, between the articulated leaves of the same face F1 or F2, of a container sauce not shown. The series of notches e allow the pins to be placed at various distances from the hearth. The apparatus placed in its position of FIG. 2 allows dishes or saucepans to be heated on the horizontal leaves, while the upper face F2 can receive pieces of meat to be grilled.
