The disclosure and prior art relates to grilling devices and more particularly pertains to a new grilling device for PURPOSE.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a stake that can be driven into the ground. The stake is comprised of a plurality of connectable sections such that the stake has an adjustable length. A grill is provided and the grill is removably coupled to the stake. The grill is slidably positioned on the stake such that the grill is positionable at a selected point along the stake. In this way the grill can be spaced a selected distance from the ground. A basket is removably coupled to the stake and the basket is slidably positioned on the stake such that the basket is positionable at a selected point along the stake. Moreover, the basket is comprised of a fire resistant material to contain a heat source for cooking on the grill.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A grill 20 is provided and the grill 20 is removably coupled to the stake 12. The grill 20 is slidably positioned on the stake 12 such that the grill 20 is positionable at a selected point along the stake 12. In this way the grill 20 may be spaced a selected distance from the ground having the grill 20 lying on a horizontal plane. The grill 20 is comprised of a fire resistant material such as steel or the like and the grill 20 is aligned with a heat source 22 for cooking food items on the grill 20. The heat source 22 may be a wood fire, burning charcoal and any other heat source commonly employed outdoors for cooking. The grill 20 has a perimeter edge 24 and a handle 26 extends outwardly from the perimeter edge.
A coupler 28 is coupled to the grill 20 and the coupler 28 slidably engages the stake 12 to slidably retain the grill 20 on the stake 12. The coupler 28 has a top surface 30 and a bottom surface 32, and the coupler 28 has an aperture 34 extending through the top 30 and bottom 32 surfaces. The aperture 34 insertably receives the second end 18 of the stake 12. Moreover, the aperture 34 has a bounding edge 36 and the bounding edge 36 frictionally engages the stake 12 when the handle 26 supports a weight of the grill 20. In this way the coupler 28 retains the grill 20 at the selected point along the stake 12.
A stop 38 is provided and the stop 38 is removably inserted into the second end 18 of the stake 12. The stop 38 inhibits the coupler 28 from sliding off of the stake 12. The stop 38 may include a cap 40 and a stem 42, and the second end 18 of the stake 12 may insertably receive the stem 42. The cap 40 extends outwardly beyond an outer surface of the stake 12 when the stem 42 is positioned in the second end 18 of the stake 12.
A basket 44 is provided and the basket 44 is removably coupled to the stake 12. The basket 44 is slidably positioned on the stake 12 and the basket 44 is positionable at a selected point along the stake 12. The basket 44 is comprised of a fire resistant material, such as steel or the like, and the heat source 22 may be positioned in the basket 44 for cooking. The basket 44 has grip 46 extending outwardly therefrom and a retainer 48 is coupled to the grip 46. The retainer 48 has an upper surface 49 and a lower surface 50. The retainer 48 has an opening 52 extending through the upper 48 and lower 50 surfaces. The opening 52 insertably receives the second end 18 of the stake 12 having the basket 44 being positioned below the grill 20 on the stake 12. The opening 52 has a bounding edge 54 and the bounding edge 54 of the opening 52 frictionally engages the stake 12 when the grip 46 supports a weight of the basket 44. In this way the retainer 48 retains the basket 44 at the selected point along the stake 12 having the basket 48 being horizontally oriented.
In use, a selected number of the connectable sections 14 are connected together and the first end 16 of the stake 12 is driven into the ground having the stake 12 being vertically oriented. The coupler 28 is slid onto the stake 12 and the grill 20 is positioned at a selected point on the stake 12. The coupler 28 frictionally engages the stake 12 when the grill 20 is released thereby retaining the grill 20 at the selected point. Additionally, the grill 20 is rotated on the stake 12 such that the grill 20 is positioned above the heat source 22 for cooking on the grill 20. In the event that no heat source 22 is available, the basket 44 is positioned on the stake 12 before the grill 20 and the heat source 22 is positioned in the basket 44. The grill 20 is positioned on the stake 12 and located above the basket 44 for cooking with the heat source 22 in the basket 44. In this way the grill 20 and the basket 44 facilitate cooking outdoors when a charcoal or gas grill, fire pit or other heat source is not available for cooking.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
