Problems solved by technology

Both the weight of such assembled firepits and grills and the complexity of the necessary assembly process do not lend them to be relocated either through disassembly or by transporting while fully assembled.
While the modular nature of the Shumock invention permits transportability, the ease of relocation is severely hampered by the complexity of the va

Example

[0045]The design of the basic member of this invention provides for an easily assembled and disassembled fire pit or barbeque grill. The design also readily lends itself to adding additional features which may be marketed separately or as a more complete package.

[0046]A fully featured barbeque grill 10 is shown in the photograph of FIG. 1, and a basic fire pit 13 is shown in FIG. 3. Construction of the fully featured barbeque grill 10 shown in FIG. 1 can be achieved by adding blocks to the fire pit of FIG. 3, which dictates that an initial discussion of one possible embodiment of this invention should be the fire pit 13.

[0047]There are many possible fire pit shapes that can be formed from the blocks of the current invention, such as, but not limited to, a fire pit whose footprint forms a V-shape, a C-shape, a U-shape, a rectangle, or other polygon shape, or even a curved shape. To be illustrative of such possibilities, a rectangular fire pit 13 is described.

[0048]The fire pit 13 sho...

Abstract

A modular outdoor barbeque grill and firepit is constructed of artificial stone-like slab members, which permit a uniform construction method by utilizing only a single block with a universal joint configuration to create an easily assembled, disassembled, re-assembled, and inexpensively manufactured product. Simple variation in the slab members' length, as well as relocation of the joint permits tremendous versatility of product design without increasing complexity of assembly. Slab members are cast of air-entrained concrete in elastomeric molds for reduced density and lighter weight members, which have advantageous thermal properties, exhibit greater longevity in adverse weath conditions, and may be so formed with pigments to resemble stone, brick, or decorative mosaic tile. The ease of construction by the design of this invention also permits quick transition between a backyard fire pit and a barbeque grill with a sophisticated appearance.

Description

[0001]This application claims priority on Provisional U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 128,531, filed May 22, 2008, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to products made from artificial stone, and particularly to a modular firepit and outdoor grill constructed of artificial stone slab members, and more particularly, one which has a uniform construction method utilizing a single block to be easily assembled, disassembled, re-assembled, and inexpensively manufactured.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Stone firepits and barbeque grills are frequently found in outdoor locations where their durability and aesthetics permit containment of a fire for recreational purposes, such as for campers at campsites and parks, as well as public and private outdoor entertainment areas. Most of such firepits or grills are made from real stone and many are consolidated into a structural object by adhering the stone elements wi...
