ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a broiler frame, particularly to one consisting of a base, a net, an ash plate, two sloping side plates and a net frame, and having good effect of heat concentration, usable for various broiling ways, not easily sticking with the net frame, easy to assemble and disassemble for washing, and convenient to store away.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Common conventional broiler frames shown in
FIG. 1
generally includes a frame
10
, a net
11
deposited on the frame
10
, a charcoal grid
12
near the bottom of the frame
10
, and a foot unit
13
provided under the frame
10
to stand on the ground. Then charcoal is put on the charcoal grid
12
, and food to be broiled is put on the net
11
, and charcoal ash falls down on the bottom of the frame
10
. However, the conventional broiler frame has the following disadvantages.
1. It has an open structure, impossible to concentrate heat, which easily disperses around, resulting in bad heating effect.
2. Charcoal ash falls down to the bottom of the frame, troublesome to dean it, having to wait until the frame cools down. In addition, during broiling process, two much ash cannot be removed out, affecting burning effect of charcoal.
3. Food has to be deposited directly on the net, so fat coming out of the food being broiled drops down on burning charcoal below the net, giving rise to a large volume of oily smoke, letting a person broiling shed tears and suck in large quantity of smoke to produce damage to person's health.
4. Food to be broiled is placed directly on the net, so part of the food may stick to the net, with charcoal smear sticking on the surface of the food broiled, and with sauce on the food remaining on the net, hard to clean and not hygienic.
5. Flame of charcoal is hardly controlled in its size, liable to bum food excessively, and scorched or charred food is apt to lead to cancer according to medical research.
6. The net is located just above the flame of charcoal, a user cannot reach the hand to move or turn around the food being broiled on the net.
7. It has a large size, not collapsible and inconvenient to store away.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The main objective of the invention is to offer a broiler frame having good heat concentration and various broiling ways, with food being broiled not sticking to a net, and easy to clean.
Another objective of the invention is to offer broiler frame quick to assemble and disassemble and convenient to store away.
The feature of the invention is a base having a rail groove respectively and oppositely in two side plates, a combine edge respectively provided in each side plate; a net having two sides inserting in the two rail grooves and able to be pulled to slide along;
An ash plate located below the net and able to slide along; two sloping side plates combined on the base and having respectively an upper upright wall facing each other, a lower short stop wall, and the two upper walls connected with connectors; and a net frame provided with a broiling area located been the two upper edges of the two sloping side plates and having a hanging member respectively at two sides.
