ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to apparatus for cooking foods. More particularly, the present invention relates to apparati for cooking foods over an open flame.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Numerous innovations for barbeques have been provided in the prior art that are described as follows. Even though these innovations may be suitable for the specific individual purposes to which they address, they differ from the present invention as hereinafter contrasted.
In U.S. Pat. No. 5,245,917, titled Skewer Assembly Incorporating a Counterbalancing Device, invented by Erich J. Schlosser a skewer assembly that incorporates a counterbalancing device for use with a barbecue grill or other rotisserie assembly includes a generally rectangular shaft that has a handle releasably secured to one end thereof through a releasable end piece. The counter balancing device has a counter weight on one free end. The counter weight is used to balance off center loads on the skewer to achieve uniform rotation.
The present invention differs from the above described patented invention because the patented invention is a balancing device for a skewer. The present invention is a rotation device for multiple skewers on a single grill.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,943,837, titled Dual Purpose Barbecue Grill and Rotisserie, invented by Theodore Trikia a dual purpose cooking device is provided in which foods may be cooked simultaneous on a barbecue grill and a rotisserie bar. The cooking device is adjustable, versatile, and efficient. Cooking temperature and speed are varied by adjusting height of fuel tray and barbecue grill.
The present invention differs from the above described patented invention because the patented invention is limited to one skewer. The present invention may have at least two skewers.
In U.S. Pat. No. 5,176,124, titled Smoke Free Barbecue Cooker, invented by Carl O. Wrasse, a smokeless, non-polluting barbecue cooker has a base canister with a centrally located firebox which connects with a flue to conduct heat produced by the burning fuel, upwards to an oven enclosure. A grill for cooking supports the food away from the firebox so food dripping cannot fall on the hot coals.
The present invention differs from the above described patented invention because the patented invention does not have a skewer. The present invention may have at least two skewers.
In U.S. Pat. No. 5,213,027, titled Barbecue Assembly, invented by Thomas A. Tsotsos and Robert L. Bundschuh, a barbecue grill assembly including a main cooking chamber, a removable cooking grid positioned within the main chamber above a primary heat source, a frame for supporting cooking grid and drawer element connected to and supporting the frame for rollably withdrawing the cooking grid from the main chamber. A mechanism raises and lowers the cooking grid with respect to the heat source. A single rotisserie is provided.
The present invention differs from the above described patented invention because the patented invention does not have a skewer. The present invention may have at least two skewers. The heat source in the present invention is adjustable with respect to the grid.
In U.S. Pat. No. 5,154,159, titled Turbo Grill-Cooker invented by Frank M. Kuafeic, a portable barbecue cooker for use without solvent ignition means or impregnated charcoal briquets. A turbo air blower communicates with ignited briquets through a distribution port plenum chamber and brings ignited briquets to operating temperature rapidly. A vertically and rotationally moveable elevator brings the briquets at operating temperature to the char grill, distributes the briquets evenly thereupon. The elevator engages the char grill for vertical movement and for variable spacing with respect to the cook grill. The char grill is equipped with a support cage that rotates the char grill to move ashes from the cooker bowl bottom for transport to an ash collector.
In U.S. Pat. No. 5,458,054, titled Barbecue Grill Assembly, invented by Ali Yu and Changhua Yuanlin Chen, a barbecue grill assembly is described which includes a first bowl, a second bowl disposed on the first bowl, a grate disposed on the second bowl, a bolt and a crank. The first bowl has a first bottom and a first skirt, a central tube extending from the first bottom thereof and two first slot are defined in a periphery of the central tube and each disposed diametrically opposite in the central tube, a second slot is defined in the first skirt. The second bowl has a second bottom and a second skirt, the second bottom for charcoal disposed thereon has a central hole and a plurality of vents defined therein and a long tube has a first end having a receiving hole defined therein for a stud extending downnwardly from the gate inserted therein and a second end inserted in the central tube, the second end of the long tube has a U-shaped tunnel defined therein such that the bolt extends through the second slot, the first slots and the U-shaped tunnel to engage to a nut. The crank is engaged between two engaging holes defined in the first skirt and is disposed between the bolt and the first bottom of the first bowl such that a distance from the second bottom of the second bowl to the grate is adjusted by rotating the crank.
The patented invention differs from the present invention because the patented invention is a barbecue grill assembly which can be adjusted in height from the charcoal bed. In the present invention a charcoal tray is positioned beneath the skewers and the rotisserie. The charcoal tray functions to hold charcoal. The charcoal tray is adjustable in height.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,583,452 titled Food Holder for Barbecue Rotisserie, invented by Erick F. Grosse, a food holder for a barbecue rotisserie is diclosed. The food holder includes a rigid, planar frame which defines an unobstructed food encompassing void within which the food may be positioned without being pierced. First and second coaxial rods and are secured to opposite end of frame to form a rigid unit and extend outwardly for mounting frame for rotation on a barbecue grill.
First and second pairs of outwardly and radially extending spokes are mounted on and carried, respectively, by opposite ends of frame for rotation therewith. First and second food support members are provided for being mounted on spokes and being secured thereto with wing nuts. The food support members cooperate with each other and with frame to define enclosures within which food may be placed without obstruction.
The patented invention differs from the present invention because the patented invention is a food holder for a barbecue rotisserie having a rigid, planar frame. The patented invention lacks features similar to the present invention.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,561,417, titled Barbecue Oven, invented by Ming-Tang Chen, a barbecue grill is described which has several dish-shaped racks which can be optionally assembled and disassembled, and supported to rotate: and control the degree of heat applied to the meat and prevent burning it, part of the racks being far away from the fire for holding meat or other food for slow cooking, warming, or cooling. The bottom of the grill has a plate for holding charcoal and holes in the plate for dropping charcoal or ash, to an ash collecting drawer. At two sides of the body, are side plates which incline outward. If ash is full in the ash receiver drawer, it can be drawn and poured out. Support legs insert into the grill body to support the body in use, and can be inverted to form a portable handle, so that after used, the dish-shaped racks can be disassembled and stored in the body, and the side plates are folded to cover the body, and the support legs are inverted to become a handle making the grill very convenient to be carried.
The patented invention differs from the present invention because the patented invention is a barbecue grill is described which has several dish-shaped racks which can be supported to rotate and control the degree of heat applied to the a food product. The patented
