ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a rotating axle skewer sleeve of a rotisserie oven, and more particularly to a sleeve which is provided with a regular octagonal hollow conveniently for the spear end of the rotating axle skewer to be promptly and smoothly plugged into in any azimuth angle.
2. Description of the Related Art
Generally, there are two types of rotisserie ovens, one is small type for toasting, roasting sausage, squid, etc., and the other one is large type for roasting whole chicken, duck, fish, meat, etc.
A conventional large rotisserie oven
10
, referring to FIGS.
1
,
2
,
3
and
4
, is provided with an against member
101
on one inner side wall and is provided with an axle skewer sleeve
102
on the other inner side wall. The rotating axle skewer sleeve
102
is provided with a right quadrangle hollow
103
, and the rear end of the rotating axle skewer sleeve
102
receives the protruding rod
105
of the motor
104
. A rotating axle skewer
20
is provided for sticking through the chicken, duck, fish or meat to be roasted in the rotisserie oven
10
. The rotating axle skewer
20
is shaped as an elongated right tetrahedron so as to prevent from rotating idly. The spear end
201
of the rotating axle skewer
20
is formed as a right pyramid, and the other end of the rotating axle skewer
20
is defined as a mounting portion
202
.
While being used, after the food to be roasted being stuck through by the rotating axle skewer
20
, the spear end
201
of the rotating axle skewer
20
is plugged into the right quadrangle hollow
103
of the rotating axle skewer sleeve
102
, and then the mounting portion
202
is placed on the against member
101
. The rotating axle skewer
20
as well as the food will rotate with the rotation of the motor
104
.
However, when a user would like to plug the spear end
201
of the rotating axle skewer
20
into the conventional right quadrangle hollow
103
of the rotating axle skewer sleeve
102
, he/she must first adjust the spear end
201
to a certain azimuth angle so as to smoothly plug the spear end
201
into the right quadrangle hollow
103
. It not only takes time but also causes trouble for a user to install the rotating axle skewer
20
in the rotisserie oven
10
.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, the present invention is to provide a rotating axle skewer sleeve of a rotisserie oven which can substantially obviates the drawback of the related conventional art.
An oject of the present invention is to provide a rotating axle skewer sleeve of a rotisserie oven which is provided with a regular octagonal hollow for the spear end of the rotating axle skewer to be promptly and smoothly plugged into in any azimuth angle so as to save time for installation.
To achieve the advantage, a rotating axle skewer sleeve in the present invention is provided in a rotisserie oven with the rear end receiving the protruding rod of the motor on one inner side-wall of the rotisserie oven. The rotating axle skewer sleeve is provided with a right quadrangle hollow in the center for the spear end of the rotating axle skewer to be promptly and smoothly plugged into in any azimuth angle.
