DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT

Refer to the FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 of a grill, which includes an upper grill unit 100, a lower grill unit 200 and two lift levers 300. The lowers of the two lift lever 300 are pivot jointed to the lower grill unit 200. The upper grill unit 100 is pivot jointed in the middle of the two lift levers 300. In this embodiment, a column 310 is fixed in the middle of the lift lever 300. the upper grill unit 100 is contacted to the column. A pivot is connected to the lift lever 300, the column 310 and the middle part of the upper grill unit 100, making the upper grill unit 100 and the lift lever 300 to form a pivot joint relationship and the column 310 situated between the lift lever 300 and the upper grill unit 100. In this embodiment, the upper ends of the two lift levers 300 are fixed together by a bar.

In this embodiment, the upper grill unit 100 includes an upper housing 120 and an upper reflection board 130, an upper heating element 140 and an upper baking pan 150 cased in the upper housing 120. the lower grill unit 200 includes a lower housing 220 and a lower reflection board 230, a lower heating element 240, a lower baking pan 250 and a control board 260 cased in the lower housing 220.

An elastic limit mechanism is disposed between the lift lever 300 and the upper grill unit 100. The elastic limit mechanism includes a torsional spring 410, a fixation piece 420 and a limit rib 430.

The fixation piece 420 is fixed to the upper grill unit 100. In this embodiment, the fixation piece 420 includes an L-shaped piece and a projecting L-shaped piece coupled and fixed to the upper grill unit 100 and a position piece 421 of the upper grill unit 100. The limit rib 430 is fixed and projecting over the lift lever 310. The projection distance of the position piece 421 of the fixation piece 420 and the limit rib 430 are smaller than the axis distance of the column 310, which is the clearance between the lift lever and the upper grill unit. The fixation piece 420 is coupled to the limit rib 430. the lift lever 300 is disposed with a pin, the upper grill unit 100 is disposed with a groove 110. the torsional spring 410 is sleeved with the column, and one end of the torsional spring 410 is looped and sleeved with the pin, while the other end is disposed with an inserted end and inserted to the groove 110, making the two ends of the torsional spring 410 separately connected to the upper grill unit 100 and the lift lever 300. The torque of the torsional spring works on the fixation piece 420 and the limit rib 430 to make the two contact and limit. The lift lever 300 is parallel to the upper grill unit 100 when the position piece 421 of the fixation piece 420 is contacted to the limit rib 430. Preferred, the lower grill unit 200 is disposed with an oil box 210; the upper grill unit 100 is disposed with an oil outlet 160, the oil outlet 160 is situated above the oil box 210.

The user lifts the lift lever 300, making the upper grill unit 100 rotate relatively to the lower grill unit 200. The lift lever 300 and the upper grill unit 100 rotate relatively from the preset position, making the torsional spring deform to generate torque. The torque makes the upper grill and the lift lever reset to move relatively to the preset position; the relative preset position is the position to keep the upper grill unit and the lift lever parallel to each other, for example, or it can be the position that the oil of the upper grill unit can exactly drop to the oil pan. the fixation piece and the limit rib are contacted together to make the upper grill unit and the lift lever move and retain in the preset position. So that the oil of the upper grill unit drops to the oil pan.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof for carrying out the patent for invention, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that a variety of modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the patent for invention which is intended to be defined by the appended claims and application.
