Description

STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT

This invention was not federally sponsored.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the invention: This invention relates to the general field of outdoor grills, and more specifically to a multi-level grill that is both adjustable and rotatable.

The use of grills to cook meats, vegetables and other types of food is well known. However, many users of grills complain that when they want to sear the fish but gently broil the corn, they cannot do both simultaneously. Another problem with grills is that no matter how much a manufacturer dresses them up, most are still unattractive boxes that sit in an inconvenient place in the patio.

Thus there has existed a long-felt need for a grill that is both attractive and can allow for the grilling of a variety of items at different temperatures simultaneously.

The current invention provides just such a solution by providing a grill with several different levels at which items can be grilled. It is attractive and interesting for people awaiting their food. It is also circular, such that it provides viewing entertainment from 360 degrees, and also allows for one or more chefs to use a wider variety of grilling surfaces. The grill has a rotational feature that allows a user of the invention to rotate the grill around, thereby providing both uniform cooking and a better entertainment experience to the people in attendance at the grilling event.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION

It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a grill with several adjustable levels of grills, that can be rotated about an attractive table.

Additional objects of the invention include:

Providing a grill that rotates.

Providing a grill that allows for different levels of cooking

Providing a grill that allows for adjustment of the grills

Providing a grill that is attractive and fun for the people awaiting their food.

Providing a grill that allows for more than one chef to use the grill concurrently.

FIG. 1 is an exploded, perspective view of the invention, showing its various components before they are put together into the final product. A top grill or donut grill 1 rests on top of a grill 2. Handles 12, preferably of wood or some other non-heat conducting material allow for the easy removal of the grill. The Brazza grill has a grill body 6 and a grill base 7, and a charcoal tray 3 into which charcoal can be placed on burnt. The invention has a base which supports the grills, and one or more table sections that surround the grills, allowing cooks to place materials around the grill for cooking and/or to allow the food produced by the grill to be placed on the table sections. There are small table sections 4 and large table sections 5, where the small table nestles within the large table. There are Small table supports 8 and Small table tubular supports 9 which support the small table. Large table tubular supports 10 support the large table, and a Bearing 11 allows the Brazza grill to freely rotate on the base.

FIG. 2 is a top perspective view of the Grill Table part of the invention, and FIG. 3 is top perspective view of the Grill Table put together. There are four Small table top portions 16, which nestle into a small table basin 19, bounded by a small table external strap 17 and a small table internal strap 18. The four small table top portions form a cavity 15, into which the Brazza grill fits. Several angle supports 20 support the bottom of the small table, and are reinforced by small table tubular support brackets 21, small table connector plates 22, and connector supports 23. Leveler plates 24 at the bottom allow for adjustment of the height of each leg.

FIG. 4 is a top, perspective view of a “small table” base part of the invention, and FIG. 5 is a top, perspective view of a “small table” base part of the invention in its assembled form. The small table top, referred to generally as 13, creates a cavity 15, and is supported by small table support brackets 14. The small table top 47 fits into a basin bounded by small table external strap 49 and small table internal strap 48. Small table angle support 50 connects the small table to its supports, namely, several small table connectors 51 and several small table supports 52.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view rotating ring component, FIG. 7 is top view of the rotating ring, and, FIG. 8 side view of the rotating ring. The bearing 11 is the key to the rotational abilities of the invention. The bearing 11 sits on a first tubular cross brace 25 the intersects at 90-degree angles with two second tubular cross braces 27. A guide pin 26 extends from the center of the first tubular cross brace 25. Several square legs 28 provide support for the rotating ring.

FIG. 9 is a top, perspective view of the Brazza grill portion of this invention, FIG. 10 top view of the Brazza grill, FIG. 11 is a side view of the Brazza grill, FIG. 12 is an exploded view of the Brazza grill, FIG. 13 is top view of the Brazza grill, and, FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view of the Brazza grill. The charcoal tray 3 sits within the Brazza grill. The Brazza grill has a Brazza grill side 29, a Brazza grill base 31, and four, in this embodiment, Brazza grill adjustable height arms 30, upon which the upper grills are placed at desired heights. The Brazza grill is comprised of Brazza grill sides 29, in this case a cylinder, into which the charcoal tray 3 sits, with charcoal burning on the charcoal tray base 32. Inserted into the Brazza grill is a Lazy Susan circle 38, and an insulating base 37 from which a Brazza grill tubular 30 cross body 36 extends, culminating in a Brazza grill support channel 35. A Brazza grills tubular cross body 34 extends from a Brazza grill body base 33. The Brazza grill adjustable height arms 30, allow the user to adjust the height of the second grill.

FIG. 15 is a top, perspective view of the second grill. The second grill can be inserted into slots in the Brazza grill adjustable height arms 30. At the top of the second grill is an upper grill disc 39 that rests on an upper grill support disc 40. A donut grill 41 with an upper grill wire 42, an upper grill internal ring 43 and an upper grill external ring 44 can be adjusted safely through the use of handles 12. A removable handle arm 45 can be attached and detached through a hex nut 46. Note that a preferred embodiment of the invention has two second grills to allow for cooking at two different elevations.

The invention works as follows. The table serves as the base and support for the rest of the invention. Above the table, the bearing allows a Brazza grill to rotate around. Above the Brazza grill is the second grill. The theory behind the invention is to allow a user of the invention to grill a variety of foods under a variety of different degrees of heat, separation from the source of heat, and exposure, all the while providing entertainment to the people waiting for the finished food.

The table has a table top and a table bottom. Attached to the table bottom are four sets of table legs. Each set of table legs comprises one or more upright members joined by a connector. The sets of table legs are attached to the table bottom by table brackets. In the center of the grill table is a table cavity, into which the other parts of the invention rest.

Above the table but below the Brazza grill is a rotating base, which supports a bearing upon which the bottom of the Brazza grill rotates. The Brazza grill itself is a cylinder into which a charcoal tray is placed that holds the hot charcoal. Extending upward from the sides of the Brazza grill are four “racks” which slots into which the second grill can be placed to adjust its height above the charcoal tray.

It should be understood that while the preferred embodiments of the invention are described in some detail herein, the present disclosure is made by way of example only and that variations and changes thereto are possible without departing from the subject matter coming within the scope of the following claims, and a reasonable equivalency thereof, which claims I regard as my invention.
