A total of four bolts 7 are erected on both ends of the horizontal frame 2 . The function of bolt 7 will be described later.

FIG. 2(A) is a plan view of the grid support frame 1 shown in FIG. FIG. 2(B) is a sectional view showing the grid support frame 1 cut along the plane indicated by line AA' in FIG. 2(A). However, in FIGS. 2(A) and 2(B), illustration of the strut 6 and the bolt 7 is omitted. As shown in FIG. 2A, the horizontal frame 2 is constructed by connecting three mold members 8 to each other. The vertical frame 3 is constructed by connecting two mold members 8 to each other. The shape member 8 is an extruded shape member of an aluminum alloy, and is an example of a unit member in the present invention. In addition, the strut 6 is composed of one mold member 8 .

As shown in FIG. 2(B), the mold member 8 has a substantially X-shaped cross section, and has a total of four slide grooves 8a on the top, bottom, left, and right sides of the cross section. The ends of the grate 5 are fitted into the slide grooves 8a of the mold member 8 forming the horizontal frame 2. As shown in FIG. Although not shown, the end of the grid 5 is also fitted into the slide groove 8a of the mold member 8 forming the vertical frame 3. As shown in FIG. That is, the four sides of the grid 5 are fitted into the slide grooves 8a of the mold member 8 surrounding the grid 5. As shown in FIG. The slide groove 8a is an example of the guide groove of the present invention.

FIG. 3A is a plan view of a mold member 8 that constitutes the horizontal frame 2 and the vertical frame 3 of the grid support frame 1. FIG. FIG. 3(B) is a view of the mold material 8 viewed from the direction indicated by the arrow A in FIG. 3(A). FIG. 3C is a cross-sectional view of the mold member 8 cut along a plane including the longitudinal central axis of the mold member 8 . As shown in FIGS. 3(A) and 3(B), female threaded holes 8b are formed at both ends of the mold member 8. As shown in FIGS. Moreover, the female screw hole 8b extends in the central axis direction in the longitudinal direction of the mold member 8. As shown in FIG.

Further, one end of a hexagon socket set screw 9 is screwed into the female screw hole 8b of the mold member 8, as shown in FIG. 3(C). The hexagon socket set screw 9 is a type of stud bolt with a thread groove cut along its entire length, and is a machine element generally called a "pot screw". Further, as shown in FIG. 3(C), the other end of the hexagon socket set screw 9 protrudes from the end of the molding 8 . The other end of this hexagon socket set screw 9 is screwed into a female threaded hole 8b of another mold member 8' connected to the mold member 8. As shown in FIG. By screwing the other end of the hexagon socket set screw 9 into the female threaded hole 8b of the profile 8', the profiles 8 and 8' are joined together. In this manner, the plurality of members 8 forming the horizontal frame 2 or the vertical frame 3 are connected to each other by the hexagon socket set screws 9 .

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the mold member 8, that is, a cross-sectional view showing the mold member 8 cut along a plane perpendicular to the central axis of the mold member 8 in the longitudinal direction. As described above, the molding member 8 has a substantially X-shaped cross section and is provided with four slide grooves 8a. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, a slide nut 10 can be inserted into the slide groove 8a for attachment. The slide nut 10 is a metal component through which a female threaded hole 10a passes, and is slidably supported in the slide groove 8a. That is, the slide nut 10 can be moved to any position along the length of the slide groove 8a.

The female threaded hole 10a extends in the depth direction of the slide groove 8a, and as shown in FIG. It can be screwed into the hole 10a. When the bolt 11 is rotated to advance the bolt 11 with respect to the slide nut 10, the tip of the bolt 11 contacts the groove bottom 8c of the slide groove 8a. When the bolt 11 is further rotated, the slide nut 10 is lifted by the bolt 11 and comes into contact with the retainer 8d of the slide groove 8a. The bolt 11 and the slide nut 10 are fixed to the shaped member 8 by further rotating the bolt 11 and sufficiently pressing the bolt 11 against the groove bottom 8c and the slide nut 10 against the retainer 8d. The slide nut 10 can also be screwed with a hexagon socket set screw 9 and a wing bolt 12, which will be described later. Further, as will be described later, the slide nut 10 can fix the bracket 4 , the strut 6 and the bolt 7 to the molding 8 .

FIG. 5 is a plan view showing the detailed configuration around the bracket 4 of the grid support frame 1 shown in FIG. 2(A). As shown in FIG. 5, the bracket 4 is screwed with a bolt 11 and a butterfly bolt 12 . The bolt 11 is screwed into a slide nut 10 attached to a shape member 8 that constitutes the vertical frame 3 and is sufficiently tightened to fix the bracket 4 to the vertical frame 3 . A wing bolt 12 is screwed into a slide nut 10 attached to a shape member 8 that constitutes the horizontal frame 2 , and is sufficiently tightened to fix the bracket 4 to the horizontal frame 2 . Thus, the bracket 4 is fixed to the vertical frame 3 by the bolt 11 and to the horizontal frame 2 by the wing bolt 12 . As a result, the horizontal frame 2 and the vertical frame 3 are connected to each other via the brackets 4 .

By removing the wing bolt 12 from the mating slide nut 10, the connection between the horizontal frame 2 and the vertical frame 3 can be released. Since a tool is not required for attachment and detachment of the wing bolt 12, the horizontal frame 2 and the vertical frame 3 can be coupled and released without a tool. Also, the bracket 4 can be removed from the vertical frame 3 by removing the bolt 11 from the mating slide nut 10 .

Further, the vertical frame 3 can be slid freely with respect to the horizontal frame 2 by loosening the wing bolt 12 and releasing the fixing of the slide nut 10, which is the counterpart of the wing bolt 12, within the slide groove 8a. By tightening the wing bolt 12 at the slid position, the vertical frame 3 is fixed to the horizontal frame 2 at that position. Thus, the position of the vertical frame 3 can be freely changed in the longitudinal direction of the horizontal frame 2, and the vertical frame 3 can be fixed to the horizontal frame 2 at the changed position. Thus, the bracket 4, the wing bolt 12, and the slide nut 10, which is the counterpart of the wing bolt 12, function as fixing means for fixing the vertical frame 3 to the horizontal frame 2 at an arbitrary position of the horizontal frame 2.

FIG. 6(A) is an explanatory view showing a state in which the struts 6 are connected to the horizontal frame 2. FIG. As shown in FIG. 6(A), one end of a hexagon socket set screw 9 is screwed into the post 6, and the other end of the hexagon socket set screw 9 is attached to the shape member 8 constituting the horizontal frame 2. It is screwed into the attached slide nut 10 . The strut 6 is fixed to the horizontal frame 2 by tightening the hexagon socket set screw 9 to the slide nut 10 . Further, as described above, since the slide nut 10 can be attached at any position in the longitudinal direction of the horizontal frame 2, the mounting position of the strut 6 can be arbitrarily selected in the longitudinal direction of the lateral frame 2. can.

FIG. 6(B) is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which the bolts 7 are connected to the horizontal frame 2. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6(B), the bolt 7 is screwed into a slide nut 10 attached to the shape member 8 forming the horizontal frame 2 . The bolt 6 is fixed to the lateral frame 2 by tightening the bolt 7 . Further, since the slide nut 10 can be attached at any position in the longitudinal direction of the horizontal frame 2, the attachment position of the bolt 7 can be arbitrarily selected in the longitudinal direction of the lateral frame 2.

Since the grid support frame 1 is configured as described above, the form of the grid support frame 1 can be arbitrarily changed according to the size of the grid 5 . For example, as shown in FIG. 7(A), the mounting position of the vertical frame 3 can be changed to change the interval between the two vertical frames 3 . Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 7(B), it is also possible to change the number of mold members 8 that constitute the horizontal frame 2 and the vertical frame 3 .

1 and 2 show an example in which the grid 5, which is the support target of the grid support frame 1, is fitted between the rectangular frame formed by the horizontal frame 2 and the horizontal frame 2, but FIG. As shown, the grate 5 may be mounted on a rectangular framework made up of transverse frames 2 and vertical frames 3 . In this case, the bolts 7 erected on the horizontal frame 2 function as a slip stopper that suppresses lateral slippage of the gridiron 5 .

As described above, the grid support frame 1 can change its shape according to the size or shape of the grid 5 to be supported. can be held and placed on a barbecue grill or the like.

However, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. The present invention can be freely applied, modified, or improved within the scope of the technical idea indicated in the claims.

In the above, both of the two vertical frames 3 have shown an example in which the attachment position to the horizontal frame 2 is changeable, but the present invention is not limited to such a configuration. In the present invention, it suffices that at least one of the two vertical frames 3 is configured so that the mounting position with respect to the horizontal frame 2 can be changed.

It should be noted that "vertical and horizontal" in the horizontal frame 2 and the vertical frame 3 are expedient expressions determined based on the attitude of the grid support frame 1 illustrated in FIG. 2(A). In other words, the horizontal frame 2 is not always placed with its longitudinal direction facing sideways. The vertical frame 3 is not always placed with its longitudinal direction oriented vertically. For example, in FIG. 2(A), if the grid support frame 1 is rotated 90° to the right or left about the axis of rotation perpendicular to the plane of the paper, the horizontal frame 2 is placed with its longitudinal direction oriented vertically. Also, the vertical frame 3 is placed with its longitudinal direction facing sideways.

The forms and shapes of the horizontal frame 2, vertical frame 3 and mold member 8 are not limited to those illustrated. The form and shape of the horizontal frame 2, the vertical frame 3 and the molding 8 can be arbitrarily selected according to need. Further, the material forming the mold member 8 is not limited to an aluminum-based material. The number of mold members 8 constituting the horizontal frame 2 and the vertical frame 3 can be arbitrarily selected.

Further, in the above, an example is shown in which the horizontal frame 2, the vertical frame 3, and the struts 6 are constructed from a single type of shape member 8 having the same length. 2. The vertical frame 3 and the strut 6 may be configured. By combining a plurality of types of mold members 8 having different lengths, variations in the shape and size of the grid support frame 1 can be increased.

In the above, an example of using the grid support frame 1 in combination with a barbecue grill is shown, but the cooking heating equipment used in combination with the grid support frame 1 is not limited to the barbecue grill. The grate support frame 1 can also be used in combination with a gas stove or a camping stove. The grid support frame 1 can also be used in combination with a temporary stove made by arranging natural stones or bricks.
