Abstract

A retractable rotisserie driver which is used in connection with a barbecue grill is described and shown herein. In one embodiment, a retractable motor support apparatus is pivotably connected to a side shelf assembly of a barbecue grill, and is movable between a storage position, where the rotisserie motor is substantially enclosed by the side shelf assembly, and a usage position, where the motor is generally aligned for engagement with a rotisserie spit. The support apparatus includes a first wall and a second wall which are adjacent and generally transverse to one another. The first wall is configured to be aligned generally flush with an upper surface of the side shelf assembly when the support apparatus is moved to the storage position to increase the usable work area on the shelf. The second wall is provided with a power cord holder for compactly holding the motor's power cord when the apparatus is moved to the storage position. The side shelf assembly and support apparatus are also provided with corresponding latch mechanisms which are adapted to engage when the support apparatus is moved to the usage position.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments described and claimed herein relate generally to rotisserie grills for barbecue grills. More specifically, one embodiment relates to a rotisserie motor that is movably connected to a grill so that it can be moved to a storage position when not in use. Another embodiment relates to an electric device that is removably connected to a grill so that it can be moved to a storage position when not in use. Background technique [0002] Rotisserie attachments for barbecue grills are well known in the art. Most often a rotisserie motor is incorporated into the side table or shelf of the grill approximately above the rack, the motor being secured to the side of the firebox of the grill. Many manufacturers include pre-drilled holes and slots in the sides of the firebox. The pre-drilled holes are used to accommodate motor mounting brackets, and the slots are configured to support a rotisserie spit over a heat source. dated 9 / 98 "Gas Grill Instruc...
