2 Description of the prior art

Barbeque WBQ) is a popula.r outdoor: activity, nct only allowing Us to taste food with a' different cooking style, but also' providing a sod al activity People usually condSt the BBQ activity with friends and fanuly on a whim A conventtonal simple BBQ grill comes with a simple structural design and fails to meet the frequent use reqUirement, and snch simple BBQ grill may be darnged after a few tithe of use.

Although the price' is low, t'he sithpie' BB'Q grill is' not suitable' for' heavy' users, and its economic' value is not as good as a lUgh�ice BBQ grilL The hIgh-price BBQ grill usually integrates a wheel, art otjeet placing board, a storage rack, a cover and cther peripherals,, in addition of the basic BBQ fiincticn, hi order to provide more value-added fLmclions, to: the product and promote the sales of the product.

The cavei of the BBQ grill of this soft generally adopts a detachable.

design, so that it, is necessary to lift the ccwer and put: it aside, whet:, the cocking food: materials are placed or tuned over; Af er the: related coolung, ptc:ce:sses are completed, ft:e cover is put back, otto the body again1: thus requiring, repeating: the operation of lifting and coveting the cover very often and causing fremendous trouble and inconvenience to r:sers. .Furthermcre, the cover may be dropped, damaged, and stained c:asiiy by accident,, and the CoVer' heated. fo.r':a long time: may even burn the users accidentally. Obviously; "the: conventional cover structure:re4Uires improvements.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

in of the: problem: and: drawback of the conventional $EQ grill with: a fully lifted: opened cover, the inventor of the present: invention :ba:sed on years of experience:: in the related: industry" to conduct: :exteSve 1:5 researches and experiments, :and:finally developed a lift cover that can be lifted: open, while: maintaining the eovei* fi::om not separating the body corn: :p1e:t1y such that users: can access: food: rnatel.i:als and turn cooking food: easily, as well as preventing the cove:r thrn falling off Another objective: of the present: invention is to pr:ovid:e a structural design of a lift cover, such that the:hi:ft: cover can be opened and covered smoothly, while maintaining the lifted: ojp:eti status of the cover stably:: To achieve: the foregoing: objectives:, the present invcntion: provides a structural design of a barbeque grill lift covet structure, and the:: harheque grill iifi Cover structure comprises a combining base dispo s ed. seç.arately at con esponding positions on both sides of the body, and a pair of link rods installed with an interval apart and at rear lateralts of the combining base,. and another end. of the link. ro:d is pivctatiy ceupled to both sides Cf S the cover separately to constitute the barbeque grill lift cover structUre of the invention, antithe: link rods at both sides of the body and the cover can be pSotaily coi4.led subh that' when the: eciver is lifted open the' link rods are pivotafly turned and guided to achieve a smooth lifting: ffi:OVfl em and maintain:tie: lift cover stably.

Ina:mED t.ESCRJPTION OF TflE1?REFERRE fi fl4EWIMENTS The tec*hnkal characteristics and effe cts of the present invethion will become apparent with the detai1eddè-ipti.on ofthe preferred : einb:bdiiient together with tie ilkistration ofrelated drawth.gs as. fol1ows With reference to FIGS 1. and 2 for schematic views of a lift covei at closed and.lifhd open statuses rpectitely FIGS. 3 and 4 itt a pui:ial exploded, view and a partial perspective view of the. lift, cover structure spective1y flC" f..r z. :sdhematic *.w of the movements of lifting' open the lift cOver in accordance. with a preferred eixibodiniera' f the present. inventS, :a BB.Q grill of the preferred embodlinent. comprises a movable grill stand 10, a wheel ii installed at a predeterniined.position. of the grill *au.d 0 for providing an appropriate moving fhnction., a storage rack 12 installed at a predetermined position of the grill stand 10, a body having a predetermined stylith appearance and mounted th the tOp of the grill stand. 1.0 aS supported. t.y the: grill stand 1.0, a barbequc.: ne.t.21 hi'talled in the body 20 an.d.with.a predktamined height. from thebottom of the. barb.eque net 21. for supplying charcoai& an object placing board.23 installed on both sides of the body 2.0 b:: a.aide frame 22..and provided.. for placing food materials or sources., and barbeque tools such. as. tongs and 1e5 aM a..coier 30 coyered onto:the top of the body 20 and..havthg.a shape'matched with the shape of the.. bOdy 20 and prc.viding a lifted open function c.f.th.e cover 30. With the aforementioned components, the basic ftiictiona.1 of the BBQ grill is achieved. As to the pppxiectzcmhc:twee the hody:2O and the cover 30. a cQwbixñng ba 24 is disposed fl pqsitions on both sides pfthe body 20 sepamteiy; and a pair of bolt holes 25 are formS at rear pOsIti:cnia cf a vertical board of the combining base 24, and the pair of tie bolt holes 25 togeth& With a bolt 26 ands nut 27 are: used for.pivtni1eanneeting a pairofiink:rods 3i., 32.

whëreih the link rods 31, 32 are. arranged in an L-shape and include a front link,rod;3 1 and a rear link tad 32., and the front link rc 31. is icuiger than thereat link rod 32, and stop. ring 33, 34 are installed at: end pc.sitions o of a turning sectien.of the link rcd.s 31, :32 respectively, and screw holes 36 are formed at the end positions, and a pair of through holes 37 aie formed at prcdetern.ined posit.icfls on both sides of the' cover 30 fOr passing. the ends.of the turning section o.f the link rods 31., 32 through the through holes.37 and then a bolt 38 and'.a washer 39 are used for securing the erids cfthe link rods 31, .32 from, the internal side of the cover 30, such that both ends o"f the link rods. 31, 32 anti the con'bir,i'ñg: base 24 fxr pivotaIly tuntg "the cover 30' ad the body 20 constitute a" pivotal connecting relation. Further, a handle' 40.,, is designed at the.' front of the cover 30 and provided for lifting or covering the cover 30, such that the positihfl. iiitiitig guidance fonted at both sides of the libk. rods 31, 32 allows the cover 30 to b.c lifted open and covered smoothly and tably.

After the. cover 30 is lifted cpen thil); the link rods 31', .32 can, maintain the lifted. open. status of the covet 30 to facilitate the operations of -5., Kcessing food niaterials,: turning th... e ecoking food, and saucing the coolcu:g food, without votyTii at� the cover thatmay be IaJleu off or damaged,. or getting dirty.

With the description above,, the structural design:f t1ie BBQ grill af the present invention uses the pair ofthe link rods for pivitaily coupling the bc.dy and. the cover without affecting the lifted open.ft notion of the dover, and thç. position iirnithig guidar.c.e of the Unit rods on both sides allows, the cover to be pivotafl.y tun.e4 4th the link, rods to achieve s ooth as.d stable. operations,, and ma intain the cover from. not.se*.aratiitg from the body cornpletely so as to save the trouble and inconvenience of putting Ut lifted coVer' at a flr'icular place. and prevent: the. cover from falling off, being damaged and getting dirty.
