Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to an assemblable grill and a grill bridge having the same, and more specifically, to an assemblable grill which is separable for easy washing and a grill bridge having the same.

BACKGROUND ART

Generally, braziers are used to grill various foods desired to be grilled, such as fish, meats, processed foods such as sausages, or the like, to be eaten in the event of camping. A brazier, which is a device for grilling foods desired to be grilled by combusting firewood or charcoal, includes a combustion space in which the combusted firewood or charcoal is combusted and an ash support for collecting ashes generated from the combusted firewood or charcoal.

A grill bridge (also called a brazier table) is used to adjust a gap between a brazier and a grill. The grill bridge has a table structure having an open central portion, and the brazier is installed in the central portion space. Therefore, the various foods to be grilled placed onto the grill above a heat source provided in the brazier are heated and cooked by the heat source.

The conventional grill generally includes a lattice-shaped grill net welded at an edge thereof to be integrally formed. The conventional grill is not preferable in terms of sanitation because it is hard to clean corners thereof at which the welding is performed, and an additional grill should be prepared or it is inconvenient to carry the grill due to its large size.

To solve the problems, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1425570 (issued on Jul. 25, 2014) and Korean Patent Registration No. 10-14072132 (issued on Jun. 5, 2014) have been proposed.

The grill in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1425570 includes a body including grill rod accommodating grooves and a plurality of grill rods assembled in the grill rod accommodating grooves so that a grill net is formed. The grill rods are easily separated from the grill rod accommodating grooves of the body, and each of the grill rods is washed, and thus the grill is more easily washable than the conventional integrated grill structure.

The grill disclosed in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-14072132 includes a lateral plate including a plurality of insertion holes and grill rods inserted into the insertion holes so that a grill net is formed, and the grill rods are easily separated from the lateral plate like the grill in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1425570, and each of the grill rods is washed, and thus the grill is more easily washable than the conventional integrated grill structure.

However, in the grills in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-14072132 and Korean Patent Registration No. 10-14072132, the grill net is formed of the plurality of grill rods with a circular structure in which an upper surface and a lower surface are parallel to each other, and oil discharged from various foods desired to be grilled, which are placed onto the grill net, drops onto a brazier below the grill net along the grill rods, which generates a large amount of smoke including various carcinogenic harmful substances, and thus causing problems such as ruining health of a user.

Technical Problem

The present invention is directed to providing an assemblable grill which is easily washable and a grill bridge including the same.

Further, the present invention is directed to providing an assemblable grill which minimizes generation of smoke including various cancerigenic components by discharging oil discharged from foods desired to be grilled to the outside so as to prevent the oil from directly dropping onto the brazier below the grill, and stably collects the oil discharged from the foods desired to be grilled, and a grill bridge including the same.

Furthermore, the present invention is directed to providing an assemblable grill which is easily installed by anyone among men, women, and children due to a simple structure and convenient assembly and disassembly.

MODES OF THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, technical features of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an assembly of an assemblable grill according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the assemblable grill shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a plan view of the assemblable grill shown in FIG. 1 when viewed from above, FIG. 4A is a front view showing the assemblable grill shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 4B is a cross-sectional view taken along line I-I′ shown in FIG. 3.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, an assemblable grill 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes first and second stands 11 and 11′ which are symmetrical to each other, and a plurality of grates 12 disposed between and insertion-coupled to the first and second stands 11 and 11′ to be assembled. Further, the assemblable grill 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes first and second fixing pins 13 and 13′ through-coupled to the plurality of grates 12 in a longitudinal direction of the first and second stands 11 and 11′.

FIG. 5 shows perspective views for describing structures of the first and second stands shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 5A is a perspective view of the first and second stands when viewed from the front, and FIG. 5B is a perspective view of the first and second stands shown in FIG. 5A when viewed from the rear.

Referring to FIG. 5A, each of the first and second stands 11 and 11′ includes a stand 111 including an upper plate 111-1, a lower plate 111-2, and a lateral plate 111-3 formed to connect the upper plate 111-1 with the lower plate 111-2 frontward and having a ‘’ shape with an open rear side.

As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the upper plate 111-1 includes an extending piece 111-1a having both sides extending in a longitudinal direction to the outsides of both sides of the lower plate 111-2 to be longer than the lower plate 111-2 so that the first and second stands 11 and 11′ are disposed on the mounting frame 21 of the grill bridge 20 (see FIG. 9).

The stand 111 includes a plurality of slots 111a into which the plurality of grates 12 are insertion-coupled and which extend from the upper plate 111-1 toward the lateral plate 111-3 and are formed at regular distances in a line in a longitudinal direction. In this case, the gap between the slots 111a maintains a gap between the insertion-coupled grates 12 by a predetermined size, and has a size of 0.6 to 1 mm, preferably 0.8 mm, so as not to hinder oil discharged from the various foods desired to be grilled from being discharged to both sides of the grates 12.

The stand 111 further includes a grip 112 protruding upward from a rear side of the upper plate 111-1. In this case, the grip 112 is bent to be inclined outward from a rear side of the upper plate 111-1 so that a user grips the stand 111 with fingers and lifts the stand 111.

As shown in FIG. 5B, the stand 11 further includes at least one sliding preventing piece 113 bent downward from a rear side of the upper plate 111-1. While the stand 111 is disposed on an inner side of the mounting frame 21 of the grill bridge 20 (see FIG. 9), the sliding preventing piece 113 is pressed against an inner side of the mounting frame 21 to prevent the stand 111 from sliding toward an inner side of the mounting frame 21 in a process of grilling the foods desired to be grilled.

FIG. 6 shows views for describing a grate shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 6A is a perspective view of the grate, and FIG. 6B is a front view of the grate shown in FIG. 6A.

Referring to FIG. 6, the grate 12 has a flat plate shape having flat front and rear surfaces and includes insertion grooves 12a formed in both sides thereof in a longitudinal direction to be insertion-coupled to the slots 111a of the first and second stands 11 and 11′. In this case, the insertion grooves 12a are formed at a lower side of the grate 12 as a long groove vertically extending lengthily, and has one side which is open toward a lower side of the grate 12 so that the slots 111a of the first and second stands 11 and 11′ are insertion-coupled to the insertion grooves 12a through the open side.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, the grates 12 include fixing holes 12b formed in both sides thereof so that the fixing pins 13 and 13′ are coupled therethrough. Therefore, while the plurality of grates 12 are insertion-coupled to the first and second stands 11 and 11′, the adjacent grates 12 are fixed to each other by the first and second fixing pins 13 and 13′ through-coupled to the fixing holes 12b of the grates 12 in a longitudinal direction of the first and second stands 11 and 11′ are grouped, and thus the grill net on which the foods desired to be grilled are put is formed.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the fixing pins 13 and 13′ include grips 13a and 13a′ formed at an end portions thereof so that the grates 12 are coupled to the first and second stands 11 and 11′ through the fixing holes 12b of the grates 12 in a longitudinal direction of the first and second stands 11 and 11′ while a user easily grips the grips 13a and 13a′.

As shown in FIG. 6, the grate 12 further includes catching protrusions 12c protruding outward from both sides thereof. As shown in FIG. 1, when a user tries to separate the grates 12 from the first and second stands 11 and 11′ while the catching protrusions 12c are insertion-coupled to the slots 111a of the first and second stands 11 and 11′, fingers of a user are caught by the catching protrusions 12c, and thus the grates 12 are easily separated from the first and second stands 11 and 11′.

As shown in FIG. 6A, the grate 12 includes a horizontal upper surface 121 and a lower surface 122 which is inclined upward from the both sides thereof toward the center thereof, that is, has approximately a ‘{circumflex over ( )}’ shape. Therefore, oil discharged from the foods desired to be grilled which are placed onto the grates 12, is discharged to both sides of the grates 12 along a lower surface 122 which is inclined upward from both sides of the grates 12 toward both sides thereof, rather than directly dropping from the center of the grates 12 to the brazier below the grates 12.

As shown in FIG. 6A, the grate 12 has end portions 123 formed on both sides thereof and having lower portions (outer sides of the insertion grooves 12a) shorter than other portions, and thus the insertion grooves 12a of the grates 12 are conveniently insertion-coupled to the slots 111a of the stand 111.

However, the thickness of grate 12 is 1.5 T, preferably in a range of 1.0 to 2.0 T, such that the oil discharged from the foods desired to be grilled, which are placed onto the grates 12, is stably discharged.

FIG. 7 shows views for describing a grate according to another embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 7A is a perspective view of the grate, and FIG. 7B is a front view of the grate shown in FIG. 7A.

Referring to FIG. 7, like the grate 12 shown in FIG. 6, a grate 12′ according to one embodiment of the present invention includes an insertion groove 12a′, a fixing hole 12b′, and a catching protrusion 12c′. In addition, the grate 12′ includes an oil discharge path 12d′ formed on at least one surface of a front surface or a rear surface thereof and allowing oil discharged from foods desired to be grilled, which are placed onto the grate 12′, to be stably discharged to the outside of the grate 12′ rather than dropping onto the brazier below the grate 12′.

The oil discharge path 12d′ has a bar shape extending from the center of the grates 12′ to both sides thereof, or has a structure continuously connected in a longitudinal direction of the grate 12′ without cutting. Further, the oil discharge path 12d′ may have a ‘{circumflex over ( )}’ shape to correspond to a lower surface structure of the grate 12′.

As shown in FIG. 7, the oil discharge path 12d′ has a groove (concave) structure, but is necessarily not limited to the groove structure, and may include a convex (embossed) structure. For example, the oil discharge path 12d′ has a groove formed in a front surface thereof and a convex structure formed at a rear surface to correspond to the groove formed at the front surface thereof. Further, the oil discharge path 12d′ may be disposed in a vertically stacked manner or may be disposed in a single layer structure.

Like the grate 12′ according to one embodiment of the present invention, an oil discharge path 12d′ extending from the center of the grate 12′ toward both sides thereof is formed on at least one surface of a front surface and a rear surface of the grate 12′, and thus the oil discharged from the foods desired to be grilled, which are placed onto the grate 12′, is introduced into the oil discharge path 12d′ in a process of flowing downward along a surface of the grate 12′, moves along the oil discharge path 12d′ inclined downward from a rear central portion toward both sides thereof, and flows and is discharged toward both sides of the grate 12′, that is, the first and second stands 11 and 11′.

Therefore, the grate 12′ according to one embodiment of the present invention can fundamentally prevent a large quantity of smoke generated when the oil discharged from the foods desired to be grilled directly drops onto the brazier by stably discharging the oil discharged along an oil discharge path 12d′ formed on at least one surface of the front surface or the rear surface of the grate 12′ to the outside in a process of grilling the foods desired to be grilled.

FIG. 8 shows views for describing a process in which the grate according to the present invention is coupled to the first and second stands.

As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, while the first and second stands 11 and 11′ are disposed to face each other, the grate 12 is positioned at upper portions of the first and second stands 11 and 11′ and is moved downward, and the slots 111a of the first and second stands 11 and 11′ are insertion-coupled to the insertion grooves 12a formed at both sides of the grate 12, and thus the grate 12 is assembled into a gap between the first and second stands 11 and 11′. In the same manner, the other grates are sequentially assembled to the first and second stands 11 and 11′, and thus a grill net is assembled as shown in FIG. 1.

As described above, in the assemblable grill 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the slots 111a are formed at the first and second stands 11 and 11′ to be separated from each other at regular distances, and the insertion grooves 12a are formed at both sides of the grate 12 to correspond to the slots 111a, and thus the grill net may be easily assembled by anyone among men, women, and children with a mere simple operation in which the slots 111a of the first and second stands 11 and 11′ are insertion-coupled to the insertion grooves of the grate 12 to provide convenience of use and to be widely popularized.

Further, in the assemblable grill 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention, while the plurality of grates 12 are coupled and assembled to the first and second stands 11 and 11′, the fixing pins 13 and 13′ are through-coupled to the fixing holes 12b of the plurality of grates 12 in a longitudinal direction of the first and second stands 11 and 11′ as shown in FIG. 2, and thus the both sides of the plurality of grates 12 are stably fixed to the first and second stands 11 and 11′ by the fixing pins 13 and 13′ in the stand 111 of the first and second stands 11 and 11′. Therefore, the assemblable grill 10 can prevent damage to a user by preventing the plurality of grates 12 from being individually separated from the first and second stands 11 and 11′ due to carelessness of the user during use.

FIG. 9 is an assembled perspective view for describing a grill bridge according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 10 is an exploded perspective view of the grill bridge shown in FIG. 9, FIG. 11 is a front view of the grill bridge shown in FIG. 9, and FIG. 12 is a lateral view of the grill bridge shown in FIG. 9.

Referring to FIGS. 9 to 12, the grill bridge 20 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a mounting frame 21 on which the grill 10 is mounted, and support legs 22 which support both sides of the mounting frame 21 to be separated from the ground to a predetermined height and have a central portion in which the brazier 40 is mounted. Further, the grill bridge 20 may include an oil support 30 mounted at an outer side of the support leg 22.

As shown in FIG. 10, the mounting frame 21 has an open central portion into which the grill 10 is inserted by a predetermined depth. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, while both sides of the first and second stands 11 and 11′, that is, both sides of the stand 111 in a longitudinal direction (extending pieces), are mounted on the mounting frame 21, a lower portion of the grill is partially inserted into the central portion of the mounting frame 21.

As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the support legs 22 are rotatably coupled to both sides of the mounting frame 21 in a symmetrical structure and support the mounting frame 21 to be separated from the ground a predetermined height. The support legs 22 are rotatably hinge-coupled to both sides of the mounting frame 21 and are folded so that the support legs 22 face the mounting frame 21 in parallel when the grill bridge 20 is not used, and thus the assemblable grill 10 can be easily moved and stored.

The support legs 22 have a ladder form having a plurality of holding rods 221 vertically stacked in a multi-stage manner. As shown in FIG. 11, the support leg 22 includes a space portion provided in the center thereof so that the brazier 40 is installed therein, and the oil support 30 is mounted on the outer side of the space portion, preferably, the outer side of a direction in which the first and second stands 11 and 11′ of the grill 10 are mounted.

As shown in FIG. 10, the oil support 30 includes hook portions 31 formed on both sides thereof in a longitudinal direction and mounted on the holding rods 221 of the support legs 22. In this case, as shown in FIG. 11, the oil supports 30 are at least partially positioned to overlap the first and second stands 11 and 11′ of the grill 10 in a width direction (a direction in which the oil support 30 is mounted) while being mounted on the holding rods 221 of the support legs 22. Therefore, the oil introduced to the first and second stands 11 and 11′ from the grates 12 of the grill drops onto the first and second stands 11 and 11′ to be collected to the oil support 30.

However, in the present invention, the structures and the shapes of the support legs 22 and the brazier 40 except the assemblable grill 10 are not limited and may vary.

The technical scope of the present invention described above has been described in detail according to the exemplary embodiments, however, the exemplary embodiments are provided to describe the technical scope of the present invention and do not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, it should be understood by those of skilled in the art that various embodiments may be made within the technical scope of the present invention.
