3 Claims. 1
This invention comprises novel and useful imrovements in a collapsible camp or picnic stove and more specifically pertains to a portable stove particularly adapted for compact foldingfor easy transportation and outdoor use.
The principal objects of this invention reside in providing a device constituting an efficient picnic or camp stove and which is especially adapted for compact folding into a portable package; which may be readily and easily assembled or collapsed; which includes in its compact position adequate means for receiving the necessary parts of a stove; and wherein a durable, light weight and inexpensive construction is provided admirably adapted for the purposes intended.
These, with various subordinate objects of the invention which will later become apparent as the following description proceeds, are realized by this device, wherein the accompanying drawings are to be regarded as illustrative of the principles of the invention only, and wherein:
Figure 1 is a front elevational view showing the stove in its fully assembled position;
Figure 2 is a top plan view of Figure 1, parts being broken away to indicate more clearly the construction of the device;
Figure 3 is a vertical transverse sectional view being taken substantially upon the section line 3-3 of Figure 2;
Figure 4 is a front elevational view similar to Figure 1, but showing the device partially assembled;
Figure 5 is a perspective view showing the stove in its fully collapsed form ready for transportation;
Figure 6 is a sectional detail view taken substantially upon the plane of the section line 8-6 of Figure 2.
Reference is now made more particularly to the vided having upper and lower surfaces l4 and i6 and an upwardly extending rim portion 48 extending about one back side and both ends of the base. In each of the corners of the base I2 is pivotally and foldably mounted a supporting leg 20, any suitable means being provided for releasably retaining the legs in their extended or erected position. When so positioned, as shown in Figure l,
the legs constitute a supporting means for the base l2 and for the completed and erected stove. Suitably hinged as at 22 to the upper edge of the upwardly standing rim portion i8 arising from the back of the base I2, is a panel 24 having flanged or depending marginal rim portions 26 upon the front and both sides thereof, and constituting in the closed position of the device a cover which telescopes upon the upstanding rim of the base portion l2, for packaging the article, and in its open position as shown in Figures 1 and 3, constitutes a back for the stove. Suitable fastening or locking means 28 may be associated with the forward rim 26 of the cover member 24 for retaining the latter in its folded position upon the base l2 as shown best inFigure 5.
Laterally slidable within the base I2, is a drawer 30 provided with a handle 32 for openin or shutting the same, which drawer may function to serve as a storage for fuel for the stove, for cooking utensils or the like as desired.
Hinged to the end of the back member 24, as at 34, are a pair of foldable side members 36, which side members, when the article is assembled into it's operative position, constitute sides for the stove but which may be folded against the front of the back member 24 as shown in dotted lines in Figure 2, for compact storage when the device is collapsed. In order to lend rigidity to the structure, the lower edges of the side members 36 are provided with channeled lower edges adapted to embrace the upstanding rim portion it of the base I2, and thereby securely anchor the back 24 and side members 36 thereon. This construction is best shown in Figures 1 and 4.
Hinged upon the side members 36 adjacent their upper edges, as at 40, are a pair of foldable shelves 42 which may be elevated to the operative position shown in Figure 1, or may be collapsed against the side members for storage as shown in Figure 4, and which may be suitably retained in their elevated position by means of the hinged supports 44 which seat in sockets or recesses 45, see Figure 6, in shelves 42. Appropriately positioned upon the inner surface of the side members 36, are a pair of flanges of generally angle iron shape, which constitute a supporting means as indicated at 46, for a rack or grill 48 upon which hearth plate 54 received within the confines of the stove.
From the foregoing, it is believed that the manner of operating the device will now be readily sides of thestove in rigid relation.
understood. The collapsed stove shown in Figure 5 is assembled by releasing the locking means 28, erecting the legs 20 then opening the cover 24 to form a back portion then unfolding the side members 36 and engaging the flanged or channeled ends 38 upon the upstanding ribs l8 to lock the Next the shelves or side members 42 are elevated and secured thereto by the reinforcing means 44. The grill 48 is positioned upon the supports 46, and the grate 50 is assembled upon its legs 62. A suitable fire is now built upon the hearth plate 54 whereby cooking utensils may be supported upon the grate 50, or if desired the flremay be directly placed upon the grate 50 while food is prepared upon the grill 48.
From the foregoing, it will be evident that various modifications may be resorted to by those skilled in the art, and accordingly the invention to the ends of said back, said side members having channels at their lower edges for embracing said upstanding rim, and a hearth plate on said base, and a removable grate having foldable legs supported over said hearth plate.
2. A collapsible camp stove comprising a base,
foldable legs secured to said base, a drawer in said base, an upstanding marginal rim on said base, a hinged back portion foldable upon said base to constitute a cover therefor, side members hinged to the ends of said back, said side members having channels at their lower edges for embracing said upstanding rim, and a pair of shelves hinged to said side members and hinged support means for releasably retaining said shelves in supports, and a hearth plate on said base, and a removable grate having foldable legs supported over said he'arthplate.
3. A collapsible camp stove comprising a base, foldable legs secured to said base, a drawer in said base, an upstanding marginal rim on said base,"
a-hinged back portion foldable upon said base to constitute a cover therefor, side members hinged to the ends of said back, said side members having channels at their lower edges for embracing said upstanding rim, and a pair of shelves hinged to said side members and hinged support means for releasably retaining said shelves in their elevated position, a pair of transverse supports secured to the inner surfaces of said side members, and a detachable tray mounted on said supports, and a hearth plate on said base, and a removable grate having foldable legs supported over said hearth plate, said parts being so proportioned relative to said base and to each other that said shelves may be collapsed upon said side members and said side members upon said back portion for storage with said tray and said grate between said cover and said base, and fastening means for securing said'cover and base in closed position, with said side members, shelves, support means, tray, hearth plate and grate collapsed and stored therebetween.
