ABSTRACT:
A device for holding a pot on a gas range burner in a moving recreational vehicle. The device is attachable to a burner grate of the type having radial bars with sloping lower edges, and it has a deck with lateral edges that interfit with a neighboring pair of the radial bars so as to support the deck on the bars and permit it to span the space between them. A pair of locking levers are pivotally supported at a common point under the deck. From their common pivot point, the locking levers extend forwardly and terminate in outturned, downwardly offset feet designed to swing outwardly into frictional contact with the lower edges of the neighboring radial bars from points intermediate the bars. To the rear, the locking levers are formed into a pair of handles. Mounted above the deck on a pair of pivoted brackets are two clamping members with forward portions formed into curved arms for embracing the pot, and rear portions serving as handles. Two springs interconnect the handles of the locking levers with the pivoted brackets in a manner to exert closing pull on the clamping members and opening pull on the locking levers. The device is attached to two neighboring radial bars on a suitable burner grate for use by means of the locking lever feet, after which its clamping members can be opened by hand to receive a pot and hold it over the grate.
