AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing foldable barbecues face issues with complex assembly, risk of losing parts during transport, and require additional latches for locking, which complicates assembly and increases the risk of misplacement of the cooking grate.

Method used

A foldable cooking appliance with a simplified assembly design featuring a folding frame and integrated locking system that incorporates the cooking grid, using pivotable panels and locking mechanisms to maintain the folded position without additional parts, and includes heat-resistant openings to prevent deformation and improve handling safety.

Benefits of technology

The design offers easy assembly, reduced risk of part loss, enhanced transport stability, and improved safety by preventing accidental unfolding and heat conduction, while maintaining the cooking grid in place during transport and use.

Abstract

A cooking appliance comprising a cooking grid (2), a folding frame, and side panels, the folding frame having a first panel (P1) and a second panel (P2), each having a leg (F1, F2) and mounted pivotally relative to each other about an axis (X), allowing the frame (1) to have a folded or unfolded position, defining a cooking zone with the side panels. The cooking appliance also includes a locking system (F1, F2, F2) comprising an insertion passage adapted to receive the cooking grid (2) when the frame is in the folded position and configured to cooperate with the cooking grid (2) so as to maintain the frame in the folded position when the cooking grid is inserted into said insertion passage, corresponding to a stowed position of the cooking grid.
