Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improved camping cooker which is easily transportable and which provides an oven and a hot plate which are simultaneously heated from the same heating source. Related to cooking utensils.

Currently, it is possible to carry out grilling, and therefore it can be made into a portable barbecue device, or used in conjunction with a hot plate, which can be used to heat sauce pans or other containers capable of cooking and heating food. There are many types of camp stoves available that can be adapted to suit.

While twin burner gas stoves are available and similar equipment is available for use in caravans, ovens of any type are not readily available.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a camping cooker which is equipped with an oven and is capable of supplying heat from a single heating source to a hot plate or barbecue board etc., which can be used for camping or caravanning. It is about providing.

Kimmel's U.S. Pat. The present invention relates to a combination oven and hot plate device which is laterally displaced from the hot plate.

The art known to the Applicant does not provide a compact combination gas-fired oven and hot plate in which the efficient use of hot gas is achieved, for example by circulating the hot gas for the purpose of efficient heating. Not yet.

Accordingly, the invention provides an oven, a hot plate or other cooking surface spaced from the oven, a heating source installed adjacent to the oven, and a hot gas from the heating source directed upwardly. A cooking device is provided that includes a guide device that allows water to flow through the walls of the oven and then through the cooking space and into the oven to simultaneously heat the hot plate and the oven.

There are two types of hot plates: one has holes that allow cooking utensils to be placed and contact with high-temperature gas, and the other has holes. , a second type of hot plate having a continuous surface that can be placed on the first type of hot plate; the first type of hot plate is removed and the second type of hot plate is installed;
An arrangement in which the plates are heated directly by hot gas is also possible.

For a complete description of the invention, reference is now made to the accompanying drawings.

The oven 1 itself can be of generally rectangular shape with a door 2 (front wall) at one end, which preferably pivots along its bottom edge into the floor 3 of the oven 1. It takes the form of a locking device (not shown) that holds the door in its closed position.

The other end of the oven can be equipped with a heating source, preferably in the form of a gas burner 4;
An end plate 5 (with a side wall 6 extending upwardly adjacent to the surface on which the oven rests, joined in the space between the upper plate and the top of the oven, and extending from one end of the oven to the other) rear end wall)
It is included.

A top plate 7 rests on top of the side wall 6 and is spaced from the top wall 8 of the oven.

The top wall 8 of the oven 1 does not come into contact with the oven door 2 in the closed position of the door 2, leaving a small gap 9 between the top wall and the door.

The interior of the oven is divided into a floor 3, a door 2, a side wall 6, a top wall 8 and an end wall 11 (rear wall), which end wall is pivoted at the top and can be moved from the offset position shown to the vertical position shown. It's free.

Further, the end wall 11 does not extend to the floor surface, leaving a gap 12 between the floor 3 and the end of the end wall.

The hot gas from the gas burner 4 therefore flows upwardly between the end plate 5 and the end wall 11, across the top between the top plate 7 and the top wall 8, and through the gap 9 into the oven space 10. and thus can be recirculated through the oven.

The end wall 11 is pivotable from a vertical position shown in dashed lines to an inclined position (offset position) shown in solid lines, in which it obstructs the flow of a portion of the rising hot gas, thereby blocking the oven space. deflect it inward.

With the end wall in the vertical position, the flow of hot gas rises between the end plate 5 and the end wall 11 and crosses the upper surface of the top wall 8 heating the oven and the top plate.

The end wall 11 forming the deflection plate can thus be positioned as desired for variable control by means of a manual control lever which is supported on the end wall 11 which is spring-loaded to its vertical position.

In the example shown, the top plate 7 is provided with a series of holes into which a sauce pan or the like is placed, the sauce pan actually resting on the top of the oven, and the hot gases flowing into the oven space. Flowing around the sauce pan, the hot gas comes into intimate contact with the sauce pan and readily heats the contents within the sauce pan.

A barbecue plate 13 is also provided, and the barbecue plate is placed on top of the top member 7, and alternatively, the top plate 7 can be removed and the barbecue plate placed on an oven and heated directly with hot gas.

Alternatively, a small barbecue board can be used to cover one hole in the top plate 7, allowing grilling on the small barbecue board and cooking with sauces, pans, etc. placed in the other hole in the top plate 7. I can do it.

The top plate 7 and the barbecue plate 13 can be made of relatively thin material so that they are evenly heated over their undersides and do not have the tendency to bend as do plates with a central heating source in their center.

Thus, in its closed position, the oven door is actually closed against or surrounding the hot plate or its installed part, and the gap between the oven top wall and the oven door is adjusted by the sliding plate. It will be appreciated that the amount of heat and degree of circulation through the oven itself can thus be adjusted.

In addition, in the above-mentioned example, the hot plate of the present invention has the following features:
This is implemented as an upper plate 7 or a barbecue plate 13.

Further, the holes extending into the end wall of the oven and the space below the deflection plate are adjustable for the purpose of adjusting the degree of gas circulation.

The entire unit is thus dimensioned to easily accept a normal sized bread pan, etc., the unit can be made of sheet metal or similar material, and its side walls are designed to allow the unit to be easily transported and placed in position if desired. A handle can be attached so that it can be transported easily.

The gas burner may be provided with an integral unit, or alternatively the burner may be separate from the unit, such that the unit may be installed on the burner of any conventional portable cooking unit currently available. I can design it.

Inside the oven, shelves which can be inserted into the oven can be positioned as desired, or grids (r+tensils) set in the oven can be placed with their edges on the guides of the side walls, so that the shelves can be inserted into the oven. can be designed so that it cannot be used under these conditions.

Preferably, the outer end wall 14 is spaced apart from the end plate 5, with the space therebetween acting as a barrier space in which the outer end wall 14 protects the end plate 5 and prevents contact therewith. do.

The space between the end plate 5 and the outer end wall 14 is open at the top and bottom to allow air circulation therebetween.

After passing upwardly between the end plate 5 and the end wall 11, the gas is deflected by the deflector 15 and flows across the top of the oven.

The side walls can be provided with double thickness sections therebetween, and the deflection plates, deflection walls and oven doors can also be provided with double thickness sections, if desired.

Although one form of the present invention and various alternative examples have been described in connection with this one form, the present invention is not limited to these examples, and other examples that fall within the technical spirit and scope of the present invention. It should be understood that variations and modifications may be included.
