GRILL SUPPORTING TABLE

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention disclosed herein generally relates to a supporting table for a cooking appliance. More particularly, the present invention relates to a supporting table adapted to support cooking apparatus such as a grill or a barbeque, and to store cooking utensils and gas cylinders.

BACKGROUND Portable cooking apparatus such as grills or barbeques often requires a main cooking area and a horizontally oriented attachment attached to a side of the housing which supports the main cooking area. The attachment may be an electric burner, a support platform, and a table. Currently, various portable cooking apparatus are available on the market, which differs in nature by heating means such as electric heating, gas heating or charcoal heating. A prior art, US20170143162 of Tom Olsen, discloses a barbecue grill cart comprising a main body having a rear wall, side walls, a top support platform and a bottom support platform. The barbecue grill cart comprises at least two storage compartments and at least one drawer disposed within the main body. A door is attached to each storage compartment. Caster wheels are disposed at the bottom of the main body. One of the storage compartments is adapted for receiving a gas cylinder. The drawer — slides horizontally in and out of the grill supporting table and the rear wall comprises apertures and thereby ventilated. Another prior art, CN202477407 of Zhengwei Chen, describes a multifunctional barbecue furnace with similar technique. However, above- mentioned prior arts fails to disclose a grill supporting table having a storage compartment comprises a lip member disposed in the opening of the storage compartment, the rear side of the door with a plurality of anchors, the top support

, DK 180202 B1 platform comprises a zinc plate, and a pair of side boundary walls and a rear boundary wall.

Hence, proper and sufficient surface is required to support a cooking apparatus in akitchen or other cooking places are desired. Without a proper support and surface, food could easily become soiled or contaminated and cooking apparatus could easily become excessively disorganized and unmanageable. In addition, storing cooking utensils and cookware could also become a challenge, as a large space should be typically required. To address the above-discussed problems, grill tables were developed. However, improvements are desired to make grill tables even more flexible for cooking use and to facilitate their rearrangement and reconfigurability, while maintaining a clean appearance. For example, it is important that cooking utensils be supported and also that utensils be easily placed, changed and accessed. At the same time, it is preferable to provide some level of security for the cooking utensils. Further, the grill table must preferably provide a clean and uncluttered look while cooking.

In the light of the above-mentioned problems, it is desirable to provide an improved grill supporting table. It is also desirable to provide a grill supporting table for securely storing cooking utensils. It is also desirable to provide a grill supporting table adapted to easily move from one place to another without effort. It is also desirable to provide a grill supporting table to support various cooking apparatus. It is also desirable to provide a grill supporting table provided with multiple storage chambers for storing various cooking utensils.
