Definitions

  • This disclosure relates to barbecues.
  • Barbecues may be provided as permanent structures for grilling food out of doors or as portable structures to be brought out when the weather permits. Most such portable barbecues are substantial wheeled structures that pose a storage problem when not being used.
  • the present disclosure adopts a different approach aimed to allow the barbecue to be stored in a minimum of space when not required.
  • a portable barbecue comprising: a grill for supporting food thereon to be cooked; a heating element selected from a solid fuel heating element, gas burners and electric elements; and a case formed from two halves hingedly joined to allow the two halves to open and close in a clam-shell manner; the case, when open and standing with its hinge axis extending generally vertically and with the two halves at an angle to each other, being adapted to support between inside surfaces of the two halves both said grill at a first level and said heating element at a second level below the first.
  • Preferred embodiments have one or more of the following features:
  • the inside surfaces of both halves are provided with a plurality of ledges at different levels adapted to support the grill and the heating element below the grill.
  • the barbecue is adapted to burn solid fuel
  • the heating element comprises a firebasket for burning solid fuel therein and a separate ash collection tray
  • the inside surfaces of both halves are provided with a plurality of ledges at different levels adapted to support the grill, the firebasket below the grill, and the ash collection tray below the firebasket.
  • the case, when closed, is sized to hold both the grill and the heating element therewithin.
  • the case is provided with carry members selected from a strap attachable to rings carried by one or both halves and handles attached to one or both halves; and with a catch or lock for holding the two halves closed.
  • the case is formed of metal.
  • a stay is provided to maintain an angle between the two halves.
  • the stay comprises a rod hooked at both ends, the hooked ends being adapted to fit into holes provided in the ledge adapted to support the ash collection tray; and the ash collection tray is pressed or moulded to define a groove on its underside adapted to fit over the stay.

  • Fig. 4 shows a view from beneath of a variation of the embodiment of Fig. 3 with the grill and firebox omitted;
  • Fig. 5 shows an underneath view of the ash collection plate of the embodiment of Fig. 4.
  • Fig. 6 shows the barbecue of Fig. 3 in its closed condition for transport.
  • the barbecue 1 shown in Figs 1 and 2 of the drawings comprises a case 2 of generally clam-shell form, shown closed in Fig. 2.
  • the case is preferably formed of metal and in two similar halves 3, 4 hinged together along one edge 5.
  • the side of the case opposite the hinge has a catch or lock 6.
  • the two halves 3, 4 When open and standing with its hinge axis generally vertical, as in Fig. 1, the two halves 3, 4 are arranged to support both a grill 7 with a detachable handle 8 and a fire basket 9, both the grill and the fire basket being sized to fit within the case 2 when closed, as in Fig. 2.
  • the two halves also serve as a wind shield.
  • Inside surfaces 10, 11 of the two halves 3, 4 are provided with a plurality of ledges 12 at different heights.
  • the lowermost ledges 13 are of wider extent to provide support for the fire basket 9, while the grill may be supported at a selected one of the remaining narrower ledges 14 at a selected height above solid fuel, such as barbecue charcoal, supported on the fire basket 9.
  • fire basket 9 supports a grill 15 therewithin for the solid fuel and an apertured plate 16, which may be the bottom of the basket 9, to allow ash to fall therethrough.
  • the case is provided with handles 17 to aid portability.
  • heating element such as a gas burner or an electric element could be used in place of firebasket 9.
  • case 1 is suitably sized to accommodate both the grill and burner and a gas canister therefor when closed.
  • a separate ash collection tray 18 is mounted on ledges 19 below the firebasket 9 to prevent any hot ashes from the firebasket falling on to the supporting surface on which the barbecue stands.
  • an additional element namely the separate ash collection tray, between the firebasket and the ground or other support surface on which the barbecue stands, radiation of heat from the firebasket downwards to the ground or other support surface is significantly reduced.
  • both the firebasket and its separate ash collection tray are higher from the supporting surface than the firebasket of the embodiment of Figs. 1 and 2, further reducing any risk of starting a fire when the barbecue is placed on the ground in the countryside or in a garden, or of damage to a table when the barbecue is placed on a table.
  • a stay may be provided.

Where a separate ash collection plate is provided, it may be sized, when reversed, to fit over the top of the firebasket like a lid.
  • the embodiments of Figs. 3 to 5 In place of fixed handles as in Figs. 1 and 2, the embodiments of Figs. 3 to 5 have D-rings 24 for attachment of a carry strap 25, as shown in Fig. 6.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un barbecue portable constitué d’un boîtier formé à partir de deux moitiés reliées par une articulation à charnière permettant aux deux moitiés de s'ouvrir et de se fermer comme un coquillage. Quand le boîtier est ouvert et à la verticale, son axe d'articulation s'étendant généralement à la verticale et les deux moitiés formant un angle l'une par rapport à l'autre, un gril destiné à porter les aliments devant être cuits est porté entre des surfaces intérieures des deux moitiés sur un premier niveau, et un élément chauffant, qui peut être un élément chauffant à combustible solide, un brûleur à gaz ou un élément électrique, est porté entre des surfaces intérieures des deux moitiés sur un deuxième niveau sous le premier.
