Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> This invention relates to a support device for supporting a water tray of a grill so that it can be freely drawn out.

<Prior art> Grills for single-sided grilling require a water tray to hold water during cooking, but this water tray is placed on the bottom of the inner case of the grill and can be pulled out forward to open the grill It has a structure that allows it to be removed from the water tray, and a stopper mechanism is provided to prevent the water tray from coming off simply by pulling it out. This stopper mechanism has protrusions provided on the rear side of the water dish and the front side of the inner case, and these protrusions engage with each other to form a stopper, or it can be slidable in the front-rear direction. A water tray support rod that stops when pulled out is provided on the outside of the bottom of the inner case of the grill, and the water tray is locked to the locking part formed at the front of the water tray support rod to connect the support rod and the water tray. It is known that the two can move back and forth at the same time.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> The above structure in which the water tray and the inner case each have protrusions is simple, but when the water tray is removed from the grill body, the front part of the water tray must be removed. There is an inconvenience in that it is necessary to lift the water tray to disengage the protrusion, and that the water inside the water tray may spill due to the inclination at that time, so care must be taken when using it. Furthermore, the structure provided with a water tray support rod has the problem that the structure is complicated and the vertical dimension of the grill portion becomes large. In addition, some models have a resin molded product with low frictional resistance attached to the bottom of the water tray to make it slide better, but this requires a large number of parts.

This invention was developed with the aim of addressing these problems and providing a grill that is simple in structure, not bulky, and easy to use.

<Means for solving the problem> In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, in this invention,
A water pan stopper plate is provided with an elongated guide hole and a pair of elongated beads that slide on the bottom surface of the inner case of the grill in the front and back direction, and further has upward locking pieces on the front and rear edges. We have established
This water pan stopper plate is detachably attached to the inner case of the grill by engaging a guide pin provided near the front of the bottom of the inner case with a guide hole.

<Function> The water pan stopper plate can be manufactured by sheet metal processing, so it is not bulky in size, and the pair of elongated beads increases strength and improves sliding properties. The combination of the elongated guide hole and the guide pin allows the water pan stopper plate to move within a certain range in the front-back direction, and when the water pan stopper plate is pulled forward, it can be held horizontally. Further, since the water tray is only positioned by a locking piece, the water tray can be removed without tilting by lifting it horizontally in the pulled out state.

<Example> Next, one embodiment shown in the drawings will be described.

In the figure, 1 is a grill body (outer case of the grill), 2 is an inner case of the grill provided in the grill body 1, 3 is a water tray, and 4 is a water tray stopper plate.

The water pan stopper plate 4 is made of, for example, an iron plate pressed and enamel-finished, and has an elongated guide hole 5 in the center and a pair of elongated beads 6 facing downward on both side edges in the front-rear direction. Furthermore, upward locking pieces 7 and 8 are provided on the front and rear edges.
A round hole 5a larger than the width of the hole is formed at the front end of the guide hole 5. The above locking piece 7
and 8 are for positioning when the water dish 3 is placed on it, and are provided at intervals corresponding to the front and rear dimensions of the water dish 3. For reinforcement, low folded pieces 9 and 10 are provided on the periphery of the water pan stopper plate 4, and a pair of upwardly directed beads 11 are provided on both sides of the guide hole 5.

Reference numeral 12 designates a guide pin having a short male thread at its tip, and is screwed to the front portion of the bottom surface 2a of the inner case 2 with a nut 13 and a washer 14. The water pan stopper plate 4 is attached to the inner case 2 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction by engaging the guide pin 12 with the guide hole 5 using the round hole 5a of the guide hole 5.
The bead 6 comes into contact with the bottom surface of the inner case 2 and becomes a sliding part. Note that the guide pin 12 is located at the convex portion 3a of the water tray 3 and does not come into contact with the water tray 3.

The embodiment is constructed as described above and uses a handle (not shown) provided on the grill to open the water tray 3.
When the water tray stopper plate 4 is pulled forward, the water tray stopper plate 4 also moves forward together with the water tray 3, and stops at the position where the rear end of the guide hole 5 hits the guide pin 12. At this time, as shown in FIG.
is the front end of the bottom surface 2a of the inner case 2 and the guide pin 1.
2, and the water tray 3 is only positioned by the locking pieces 7 and 8 and rests on the water tray stopper plate 4. Therefore, the third
As shown in the figure, from this state, the water tray 3 can be lifted horizontally and removed, or placed on it again, and the water tray 3 will not tilt and water will not spill when it is attached or removed. In addition, since the bead 6 is formed continuously in the front-rear direction and is in contact with the bottom surface of the inner case 2 with a small contact area, even if there is a step on the bottom surface of the inner case 2, it can be moved smoothly with light force. can.

Although the embodiment shows an example in which a simple-shaped water tray 3 is used, this invention can also be applied to a type in which a handle or a front door are integrally attached to the water tray.

<Effects of the invention> As is clear from the above-mentioned embodiments, this invention provides an elongated guide hole and a pair of elongated beads that slide on the bottom surface of the inner case, and further includes a pair of elongated beads that are attached to the front and rear edges. A water plate stopper plate with a stopper plate formed thereon is attached to the inner case so as to be freely drawn out by a guide pin provided on the bottom surface of the inner case.

Therefore, the water pan stopper plate has a simple structure and can be easily manufactured by sheet metal processing, and its thickness can be reduced, making it easy to install inside a grill with limited space. Can be installed with modification. In addition, sliding is stable even without installing a resin molded product with particularly low frictional resistance on the bottom of the water tray, and when the water tray is pulled out forward and stopped, it can be removed by lifting it horizontally without tilting it. There are advantages such as no spillage of water when attaching and detaching the dishes, and an easy-to-use grill can be obtained at a low cost.
