ABSTRACT:
An assemblage for intermittently angularly advancing a rotary grille having a motor-driven spit operatively associated therewith is provided. The assemblage includes an elongated tang supported from a spring clip for lengthwise adjustable positioning of the tang relative to the clip. The spring clip is of a configuration to releasably clampingly engage one end of the aforementioned motor-driven spit for rotation therewith and with the tang extending generally radially of the associated motor-driven spit. The assemblage is supported from the spit adjacent one end thereof over one peripheral portion of the grille and the longitudinal positioning of the tang relative to the clip is such to enable the free end of the tang to project downwardly through an opening of the grille defined between adjacent grille bars or members thereof and to engage one of the grille bars or members each time the free end of the tang swings through it lowermost arc segment as a result of rotation of the spit. Thus, each time the free end of the tang swings through its lowermost arc of rotation, the associated rotary grille will be angularly advanced. In this manner, the grille is intermittently angularly advanced and food placed upon the grille for cooking thereon by cooking heat energy beneath the grille will be orbited about the axis of rotation of the grille and experience more even heat throughout the total cooking time.
