ABSTRACT:
A fully detachable counterbalance device for use in a rotisserie unit is shown herein. The device is fully adjustable to provide weight balance on both sides of the spit such that the spit can be rotated in a uniform motion. The device comprises a yoke member having a U-shaped cross section and comprising two substantially parallel spaced leg portions and a web portion. Two openings are formed in an aligned manner in the leg portions. The distance from each of the openings to the web portion is slightly larger than the width of the spit so that the yoke member is slidably and transversely engageable on the spit in a straddle manner. A weighted short rod member is slidably extensible through the openings after the yoke member is positioned on the spit so that the spit is slidably bound by the yoke member and a portion of the rod. The rod and the yoke member are mounted fixedly on the spit by operating a set screw provided at the web portion of the yoke member. A main counterbalance weight is slidably mounted on the rod.
