BRIEF SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
1. Field of the invention
The present invention relates to a portable camp kitchen, and more specifically to a modular portable camp kitchen for open-air activities such as camping, picnics, first aid camps, etc.
2. Related art
Portable camp kitchens for use in the open are already known from the state of the art. They comprise a cooker unit, generally made of enamelled iron, which holds a pair of burners, and a cover on the top. The cooker unit is usually positioned on top of another base unit, generally made of metal, which holds at the inside thereof kitchen utensils and the gas bottle for the fuel gas supplying to the burners.
The abovementioned camp kitchen is therefore constituted of two separate members, which are only connected during their function. This kind of camp kitchen is known from GB-A-2124894.
This causes the problem that in order to use the cooker unit it has to be placed on the top of another structure, and the fact that it is necessary to have another structure as well as the cooker unit in order to provide a complete camp kitchen with kitchen utensils and with a fuel supply for the burners.
An additional problem is caused by the fact that the kitchen as a whole is not easy to transport, as it is made up of a number of components that must be disconnected before transport and then re-connected again before they can be used.
Another problem relates to the utensils inside the abovementioned base unit, which must be removed before transport and which must therefore be packed into another container during transport and then replaced inside the base unit when finally mounted.
All the above increases the difficulties for the person using the kitchen, as well as increasing the time required to assemble the kitchen itself.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Object of the present invention is therefore to solve the abovementioned problems by providing a portable camp kitchen having a cooker unit integral mounted on a container member wherein the kitchen utensils and the power supply for the cooker unit are also contained, the whole forming a single unit to enable it to be transported without the need to disassemble the components before they are moved.
The present invention provides a portable camp kitchen, comprising: latter;
characterised in that said movable covering means comprises: and apted to move from a closed position, wherein they totally cover said cooker unit, to an open position wherein they form two worktops; and container member and apted to move from a closed position, wherein they frontally close said container member to a fully open position wherein they provide a support for the abovementioned first pair of flat doors.
Advantageously the portable camp kitchen of the present invention is easy to transport, simple to position and requires little assembly.
Another advantage is that the portable camp kitchen of the present invention is apted to contain everything necessary for cooking in a single unit, and it is easy to manufacture and requires an extremely low maintenance, is reliable, robust and low in cost.
The present invention will now be illustrated in further detail by the description of a preferred embodiment thereof, given merely as a non-limiting example, and with reference to the enclosed drawings.
