Abstract
Abstract A fuel receptacle rotatably mounts a frame about a vertical axis which in turn removably supports a food holding grill assembly or rotisserie through which food may be controllably exposed to heat and smoke evolved from the receptacle. The grill assembly may be angularly displaced to a withdrawn position and to invert the food when positioned over the receptacle. The rotisserie rotates the food over the receptacle below a hood that may be mounted on the rotisserie frame.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
In combination with a fuel receptacle, a food supporting assembly and means for mounting said food supporting assembly in spaced relation =n above the fuel in said receptacle, said food supporting assembly comprising, frame means adapted to be rotatably mounted on a fixed axis through the receptacle in adjustable spaced adjacency above the fuel and having access openings through which the receptacle may be loaded, hinge means removably mounted by the frame means for displacement about a movable axis spaced from said fixed axis, and grill means pivotally connected to said frame means by the hinge means for displacement between a heat exposing position aligned with the receptacle above the frame means and a withdrawal position out of alignment with the receptacle exposing the access openings in the frame means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
130 words
In combination with a fuel receptacle, a food supporting assembly and means for mounting said food supporting assembly in spaced relation =n above the fuel in said receptacle, said food supporting assembly comprising, frame means adapted to be rotatably mounted on a fixed axis through the receptacle in adjustable spaced adjacency above the fuel and having access openings through which the receptacle may be loaded, hinge means removably mounted by the frame means for displacement about a movable axis spaced from said fixed axis, and grill means pivotally connected to said frame means by the hinge means for displacement between a heat exposing position aligned with the receptacle above the frame means and a withdrawal position out of alignment with the receptacle exposing the access openings in the frame means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
84 words
The combination of claim 1 wherein said grill means comprises, a pair of grill plates hingedly connected to the hinge means about closely spaced parallel axes for holding food therebetween, and handle means connected to said grill plates for displacement of the grill plates between said heat exposing and withdrawal positions to either permit loading of the receptacle, reverse exposure of food held between the grill plates to heat evolved from the fuel in the receptacle or withdraw food from exposure to said heat.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
The combination of claim 2 including means for locking the grill means against pivotal displacement relative to the frame means about said movable axis when the grill means is in said heat exposing position.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
The combination of claim 3 including ground support means engageable with the grill means in said withdrawal position for support of the grill means in spaced relation to the frame means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
34 words
The combination of claim 1 including means for locking the grill means against pivotal displacement relative to the frame means about said movable axis when the grill means is in said heat exposing position
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
The combination of claim 1 including ground support means engageable with the grill means in said withdrawal position for support of the grill means in spaced relation to the frame means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
82 words
In combination with a fuel receptacle, a food supporting assembly and means for mounting said food supporting assembly in spaced relation above the fuel in said receptacle, said food supporting assembly comprising a frame, means rotatably mounting the frame about a fixed vertical axis through the receptacle, said frame having access openings, and food support means removably mounted on the frame for displacement about an axis substantially perpendicular to said fixed axis adapted to expose food to heat evolved from the receptacle.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
82 words
In combination with a fuel receptacle, a food supporting assembly and means for mounting said food supporting assembly in spaced relation above the fuel in said receptacle, said food supporting assembly comprising a frame, means rotatably mounting the frame about a fixed vertical axis through the receptacle, said frame having access openings, and food support means removably mounted on the frame for displacement about an axis substantially perpendicular to said fixed axis adapted to expose food to heat evolved from the receptacle.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
28 words
The combination of claim 7 including food means mounted by the food support means for displacement with the food support means in spaced relation above the frame means.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
93 words
In combination with a fuel receptacle, a food supporting assembly and means for mounting said food supporting assembly in spaced relation above tHe fuel in said receptacle, said food supporting assembly comprising, a frame, means mounting the frame above the receptacle for rotation about a fixed vertical axis extending centrally through the receptacle , said frame having access openings through which the receptacle may be loaded, food holding means removably mounted by the frame in a selectively adjusted position relative thereto, said food holding means including hinged means for exposing food supported thereon.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
93 words
In combination with a fuel receptacle, a food supporting assembly and means for mounting said food supporting assembly in spaced relation above tHe fuel in said receptacle, said food supporting assembly comprising, a frame, means mounting the frame above the receptacle for rotation about a fixed vertical axis extending centrally through the receptacle , said frame having access openings through which the receptacle may be loaded, food holding means removably mounted by the frame in a selectively adjusted position relative thereto, said food holding means including hinged means for exposing food supported thereon.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
63 words
The combination of claim 9 wherein said food holding means includes a grill plate, means connected to said grill plate for pivotal mounting thereof on the frame means about two perpendicular intersecting axes spaced from said fixed axis, said hinged means being hingedly connected to the grill plate about an axis parallel to one of said two perpendicular axes for clamping food thereto.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
46 words
The combination of claim 9 wherein said food holding means includes, a rotisserie support removably mounted on the frame means, and a hood member carried by said rotisserie support, said hinged means comprising a closure hinged to said hood member for closing an access opening therein.
