Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a grill device comprising a base element and a fire plate, wherein the fire plate is connected to the base element via at least two fastening arms. The present invention further relates to a gripping device and a system. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

[0002] Barbecues are known from the prior art. These can consist, for example, of a grill barrel or a fire barrel, with a fire plate mounted on top of the barrel. A heat source, which can be an open fire, for example, is arranged in an interior space within the grill barrel or fire barrel. This can heat the fire plate. The fire plate preferably contains a grill insert, onto which any desired food can be placed.

[0003] With a grill of this type, for example, the distance between the heat source and the food being grilled is particularly important. Different types of grilled food may require different distances to regulate the heat generated. The type of heat source can also be crucial, whether it's glowing charcoal, a smoke basket, or a gas-fired heat source. Grill barrels or fire barrels are usually used for larger events where a large number of people need to be provided with grilled food. It's advantageous if the grill barrel also offers storage for grilling accessories and / or allows visitors to relax or leave drinks, food, or similar items.

[0004] If different types of food are to be grilled, different grill inserts may still be necessary. Replacing the grill inserts in the fire plate is usually only possible once they have cooled down, which makes it difficult to use or replace them promptly. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0005] Against this background, the present invention is based on the object of providing an improved grilling device.

[0006] Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to propose the possibility of a gripping device which makes it possible to easily replace or move a grill insert and / or to hold it in a desired position in order, for example, to serve the grilled food directly from the grill insert to any desired position.

[0007] According to the invention, this object is achieved by a grilling device having the features of claim 1, a gripping device having the features of claim 8 and / or by a system having the features of claim 14.

[0008] Accordingly, it is provided: - A grill device, with a base element, having an interior space for accommodating a heat source, a fire plate, comprising a recess, wherein the fire plate is connected to the base element via at least two fastening arms, wherein the respective fastening arm has at least one support arm for supporting the fire plate on a first section and projects into the interior space with a second section, wherein first hook elements are arranged on the second section, so that the heat source can be stored at different distances from the fire plate. - A gripping device for a grill device for gripping and / or holding at least one grill insert, with a parallelogram, wherein a movement in a first direction of movement can take place via the parallelogram, a base on which the parallelogram is mounted, wherein a movement in a second direction of movement which is different from the first direction of movement can take place via the base, wherein a connecting arm is provided on the parallelogram which has a receptacle for a grill insert, wherein the connecting arm always remains vertically aligned when the gripping device is moved in the first and second directions of movement and the grill insert can always be aligned horizontally. - A system comprising a grilling device and a gripping device.

[0009] The finding underlying the present invention is that the different applications can be implemented individually through a flexible design of the different components of the grilling device and / or the gripping device or the system.

[0010] The idea underlying the present invention is to propose a modular grilling device in which, on the one hand, the distance between the heat source and the fire plate can be individually adjusted. Furthermore, any accessories can be attached to the grilling device, which can be hung on the mounting arms or secured in any other way. Likewise, any grill insert can be inserted into the recess of the fire plate, which can be easily moved or gripped, especially using the gripping device, even when heated.

[0011] The grilling device according to the invention, the gripping device according to the invention, and / or the system according to the invention are particularly modular in design, allowing them to be easily assembled on-site. In particular, assembly can be carried out without the need for tools, allowing it to be carried out quickly and without the need for specialist personnel.

[0012] The base element is designed, in particular, as a barbecue barrel or fire barrel, and preferably has a round cross-section. For example, a standard barrel can be used, which has a volume of 200 l to 250 l, in particular 210 l. In one embodiment, the base element can be constructed in several parts so that it can be assembled on-site. For example, individual pipe segments can be plugged together to form a barbecue barrel. A grill, a kettle grill, or a fire bowl, for example, can be arranged in the base element to provide the heat source.

[0013] The fire plate, in particular, has a larger diameter than the base element. The mounting arms can be positioned completely beneath the fire plate, with the mounting arms not extending beyond the fire plate's diameter. Additional accessories, such as tongs, gloves, or similar, can be attached to the mounting arms and concealed beneath the fire plate, creating a visually appealing look.

[0014] The fastening arms are advantageously designed in such a way that they serve, on the one hand, to support the fire plate and, on the other hand, to temporarily attach various accessories, such as table and / or chair elements.

[0015] For example, the fire plate can be arranged at a distance from the base element, so that a space results between the base element and the fire plate, in which fittings for controlling heat sources located in the interior can be arranged.

[0016] The fastening arms are, for example, L-shaped. For example, a first section can be horizontally aligned and form the support arms, and a second section can run vertically and have second hook elements arranged one above the other.

[0017] The second hook elements can be arranged at a distance from one another, so that the distance from each second hook element to the fire plate is different.

[0018] In particular, three mounting arms are arranged equally spaced circumferentially on the base element, allowing for adequate support of the fire plate, which is particularly secured against tipping. Each of the mounting arms preferably has identical second hook elements, allowing the heat source to be arranged horizontally at different distances from the fire plate.

[0019] The gripping device is preferably mobile and can be used individually, and can be mounted on various grills without the need for tools. For example, the gripping device can be used with an open fireplace if it is attached to the ground adjacent to the fireplace. Furthermore, the gripping device can be used in conjunction with a grill, in particular if it is attached to the grill itself.

[0020] The gripping device can also be used over a fireplace, for example, where it can be mounted using an adapter pipe. It is particularly suitable for use with all types of fireplaces, and permanent installation, for example, via a ground socket or a stand, is also possible.

[0021] In particular, the base serves as a mounting base, although it can also serve as a rotation axis. The base is made, in particular, of a metal tube. The base also determines the height at which the parallelogram is positioned. The height of the parallelogram can be used to determine or set the distance from a heat source and / or a grill insert. In particular, by aligning the vertical axis of the base, deformation of the material caused by heat can be compensated.

[0022] The gripping device makes it possible, in particular, to load, turn over or even remove and serve food outside of a fire zone without having to remove the food from the grill insert.

[0023] In particular, an operator is exposed to less fire and less smoke.

[0024] The parallelogram preferably comprises two rod-shaped elements arranged parallel to one another, which are point-mounted with the base in such a way that they can move parallel to one another. In particular, the rod-shaped elements are point-mounted with the base at one end and with the connecting arm at an opposite end. This allows the two rod-shaped elements of the parallelogram to move parallel to one another while the base and the connecting arm are in a vertically aligned position. The parallelogram therefore has, in particular, a four-point mounting.

[0025] Advantageous embodiments and further developments emerge from the further subclaims and from the description with reference to the figures of the drawing.

[0026] According to one embodiment, the fastening arms on the first section can have second hook elements which are designed to temporarily hold and / or attach further accessories outside the base element. The accessories can in particular also be tables, table elements or chair elements which can be hooked onto the second hook elements. Likewise, the accessory can, for example, be a shelf which in particular has shelves arranged in a specific grid. For example, a shelf can be arranged laterally on the base element in a 25 cm grid, in which shelf further accessories, in particular barbecue utensils, can be stored. However, table elements are preferably used as accessories.

[0027] In one embodiment, it may therefore be possible to arrange table elements around the base element, in particular 4 to 6 table elements. In one embodiment, six table elements can be arranged on one level. The table elements can be arranged at different heights, or all at the same height. For example, a grid can be provided to arrange tables at four to 8, preferably 8, different heights. Alternatively or additionally, table elements can be provided on two sides, creating a multitude of possibilities. Alternatively or additionally, it is possible to arrange chair elements around the base element, which can also be provided alternating with table elements, for example. This makes it possible to gather visitors around the barbecue device.

[0028] The table elements can be attached to the fire plate using table brackets. For this purpose, a projection or slot can be provided on at least one side of the table bracket, allowing the table bracket to be hooked into the fire plate and secured to it. Attachment, securing, and disassembly are particularly tool-free.

[0029] The projection can be designed, in particular, as a hook element, lug, nipple, or the like. In particular, the projection has at least one undercut, allowing the table mount to be securely attached to the table element. The projection allows the table mount to be secured in a hole in the fire plate. In particular, the fixation can be supported by applying load to the table element during use.

[0030] Alternatively, the table mount can have a slot, whereby the table mount can be hooked onto the fire plate using the slot.

[0031] According to one embodiment, at least one adapter element can be arranged in the recess of the fire plate, which adapter element has an opening adapted to a desired grill insert. This makes it possible to use different grill inserts or grill inserts, even with a standardized opening. Different insert rings with different openings can be used as the adapter element. For example, one adapter element can be designed for hanging a smoking basket, which can be used in particular for flavoring Coburger Bratwurst. Another adapter element can be designed for inserting various grill inserts, such as in particular a Dutch oven up to 9 liters. Furthermore, adapter elements can be provided that enable the hanging of pots, kettles, grill grates or grill plates.An adapter element can also be provided, designed to accommodate a smoke pipe, particularly with a diameter of up to 200 mm. This allows, for example, a combustion chamber inside the base element to be equipped through the smoke pipe. By providing and exchanging various adapter elements, the grill can be individually adapted.

[0032] According to one embodiment, the opening can therefore be designed to accommodate a smoke basket, a coal basket, a grill tray, a grill grate, a grill plate, a pan and / or a fire pot.

[0033] According to one embodiment, the recess can have a diameter greater than 300 mm, in particular 360 mm to 400 mm, preferably 360 mm. If the opening is between 360 mm and 400 mm, then 50 cm logs can be passed through the openings to supply the heat source.

[0034] According to one embodiment, a support plate can be included, which has a recess for securing it to the first hook elements, wherein the support plate is designed to support the heat source. For example, the base element can also be compatible with a gas cooker or a gas grill that can be placed on the support plate. For example, this can be used in combination with a paella pan, which can weigh up to 50 kg, and can be hooked into the adapter element.

[0035] According to one embodiment, holes designed to accommodate a tripod can be provided in the fire plate, and / or a receiving device for receiving a gripping device can be provided in the fire plate. The holes are arranged, in particular, evenly distributed in the circumferential direction. Preferably, three holes are provided so that a tripod can be inserted.

[0036] According to one embodiment of the gripping device, a cantilever arm can be provided on a first leg of the parallelogram, said cantilever arm having a receptacle for a grill insert and / or an accessory, and which is in particular designed to be telescopic. The cantilever arm can project beyond the parallelogram on one side when it is arranged in an extended state. This allows, for example, a lighting device, such as in particular a flashlight, LED lighting or the like, to be arranged at the end of the cantilever arm, while the grill insert is held at the connecting section. This ensures that the area where the food to be grilled is illuminated without the need for additional lighting.

[0037] Likewise, a tripod can be attached to the end of the boom arm using a chain or similar, allowing, for example, a swing chair to be placed above the heat source.

[0038] The extension arm can also be retracted in such a way that it does not protrude beyond the parallelogram.

[0039] According to one embodiment of the gripping device, a gripping element can be arranged on the parallelogram opposite the connecting arm. The gripping element allows the parallelogram or gripping device to be moved to a desired position without having to contact the heated section.

[0040] According to one embodiment of the gripping device, a flange can be provided on the base, which enables the base to be supported and / or locked at a desired height. The flange can in particular run around the tubular base and form a type of collar through which additional fastening means can be guided. For example, the flange can be fastened to the fire plate with screws or bolts. In particular, the flange can have threaded holes that serve to attach adjusting screws. This allows the angle of the base to be changed. In particular, deformation of the material due to the effects of heat can be compensated for. The height of the base is preferably not changed, although the angle in particular can be adjusted.

[0041] According to one embodiment of the gripping device, the parallelogram can be mounted with two first contact points on the base and two second contact points on the connecting arm, wherein a first contact point has an additional guide, allowing fixation in a desired position in the first direction of movement. This allows an angle to be determined at which the parallelogram is fixed or held, so that, for example, the grill insert can be held at a desired height above the fire plate. For example, the height of the grill insert can also be maintained independently of the height of the fire plate while the food is being grilled.

[0042] According to one embodiment of the gripping device, a knurled screw can be provided for fixing. The knurled screw can be easily operated manually to fix the parallelogram at a desired angle.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the system, holes can be provided in the fire plate next to the mount, allowing the base to be locked in a specific orientation using pin elements. The pin elements can be guided, in particular, through the holes and through the flange on the base to press the flange against the fire plate. This also allows for adjustment or alignment of the base in a desired vertical position by using at least two oppositely arranged screws.

[0044] The above embodiments and further developments can be combined with one another as desired, where appropriate. Further possible embodiments, further developments, and implementations of the invention also include combinations of features of the invention not explicitly mentioned above or described below with regard to the exemplary embodiments. In particular, those skilled in the art will also add individual aspects as improvements or additions to the respective basic form of the present invention. TABLE OF CONTENTS OF THE DRAWING

[0046] The accompanying drawing figures are intended to provide a further understanding of embodiments of the invention. They illustrate embodiments and, in conjunction with the description, serve to explain principles and concepts of the invention. Other embodiments and many of the noted advantages will become apparent upon review of the drawings. Elements of the drawings are not necessarily shown to scale relative to one another.

[0047] In the figures of the drawing, identical, functionally identical and acting elements, features and components are provided with the same reference symbols, unless otherwise stated. DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

[0048] The Fig. Figures 1 to 6 show possible embodiments of a system according to the invention. Embodiments of the grilling device 1 and the gripping device 20 are shown.

[0049] Fig. Figure 1 shows a grill 1 with a base element 2 and a fire plate 4. The base element 2 is designed as a multi-part grill barrel, with three tubular sections shown as an example. The base element 2 can be assembled on-site, for example.

[0050] The fire plate 4 is shaped as a round plate and has a recess 5. The fire plate 4 is designed with a larger cross-section than the base element 2.

[0051] As in Fig. 2, the fastening arms 6 do not protrude beyond the fire plate 4, so that second hook elements 10 for attaching further accessories are also arranged completely below the fire plate 4.

[0052] The fire plate 4 is arranged at a distance from the base element 2, creating a gap between the fire plate 4 and the base element 2. Fittings, for example, belonging to the heat source inside the base element 2, can be routed through this gap. For example, the electronics of a gas grill or similar device can be routed from the inside of the base element 2 to the outside, allowing the gas grill to be operated from the outside.

[0053] The fastening arms 5 comprise support arms 7 for supporting the fire plate 4. The support arms 7 are aligned essentially horizontally. Below, and in particular parallel, to the support arms 7, further second hook elements 10 are provided, which can be used to attach additional accessories. For example, add-on tables with grid table holders can be provided, which can be hooked into the second hook elements 10. In contrast to the embodiment shown, the second hook elements can be arranged at a different height on the base element 2. Likewise, a plurality of second hook elements 10 can be provided one above the other, so that, for example, table elements can be hooked in at different heights. Furthermore, for example, standing tables or the like can be provided, which can be attached to the second hook elements 10.

[0054] Furthermore, up to 10 tables can be mounted on one level around the base element 2. These are preferably positioned so that they are not exposed to smoke or soot. Installation is preferably tool-free on the fire plate, allowing for individual adjustment.

[0055] The table elements 34 of the tables can be temporarily stored on the hook elements 10 or mounting arms 6 when not needed. This way, they are not exposed to smoke.

[0056] In contrast to the embodiment shown, it is also conceivable to design the grill device 1 without a gripping device 20.

[0057] In an embodiment not shown, the base element 2 can also be designed in one piece or have a different geometry, such as a rectangular or square cross-section.

[0058] The recess 5 in the fire plate 4 has a diameter greater than 360 mm. This allows for a particularly large opening in the fire plate 4, through which a variety of different heat sources can be introduced. Furthermore, the interior space 3 of the base element 2 can be easily accessed.

[0059] The Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 shows the gripping device 20 in an upwardly pivoted position. In the illustrated embodiment, no grill insert is attached to the gripping device 20.

[0060] The gripping device 20 has a parallelogram 21 consisting of two rod-shaped elements. If the parallelogram 21 is moved in the first direction of movement 22, shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 6, the two rod-shaped elements are aligned parallel to each other in every position. Furthermore, the connecting arm 25 is aligned vertically in every position. This allows a grill insert 13, which is suspended from a holder 26 on the connecting arm 25, to be aligned horizontally in every position.

[0061] On the parallelogram 21, in particular on one of the rod elements, on which a handle element 29 is also provided, a cantilever arm 27 can be provided, which projects beyond the parallelogram 21 in the direction of the recess 5 of the fire plate 4. This allows another accessory to be suspended at a position spaced from the parallelogram 21 or spaced from the connecting arm 25. For this purpose, a receptacle 28 is provided on the cantilever arm 27, which can be designed, for example, as at least one groove or at least one nose or notch, or also as a slot. An accessory, such as a lighting element, can be suspended in the receptacle 28. This allows the area in which the receptacle 26 of the connecting arm 25 is arranged to be illuminated. Alternatively or additionally, a hanging grate can be suspended in the receptacle 28.

[0062] A locking screw can be attached to the base 23 to prevent unwanted rocking of the extension arm 27 when used with the extension arm 27 as a telescopic rail, for example with a rocking roast, hanging grill, etc.

[0063] The Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 show a gripping device 20 into which a grill insert 13 is suspended. The connecting arm 25 can have a hook in the area of ​​the receptacle 26, which serves as a support for the insert 13. Furthermore, the grill insert 13 can be clamped at the edge between the hook and the connecting arm 25. This allows the grill insert 13 to be held aligned at right angles to the connecting arm 25. The grill insert 13 can also be held in the position shown during a grilling process. This allows the gripping device 20 to be used to align the grill insert 13 while food is being grilled on the grill insert 13. The distance between the grill insert 13 and the heat source can thus be changed quickly and easily using the gripping device 20. Instead of using the grill insert 13 as a grill grate, a Dutch oven or similar item can also be held on the connecting arm 25.

[0064] The gripping device 20 can therefore be aligned and / or moved in a first direction of movement 22, in particular vertically, and in a second direction of movement 24, in particular rotationally around the base 23, see Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.

[0065] In the presentation in Fig. 5, the grill insert 13 is held in an adapter element 11. The adapter element 11 is adapted to the recess 5 in the fire plate 4 and can have any desired opening 12. The opening 12 can be adapted to any desired geometry. The opening 12 can be designed to hold a smoke basket, a charcoal basket, a grill tray, a grill grate, a grill plate, a pan, and / or a Dutch oven.

[0066] In particular, the grill insert 13 is therefore not held directly by the receptacle 26 of the connecting arm 25, but rather via the adapter element 11. This allows a flat surface of the adapter element 11 to always serve as contact with the receptacle 26, thus ensuring secure holding.

[0067] The Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 show a position in which the grill insert 13 is arranged in the recess 5 of the fire plate 4. In particular, the grill insert 13 can be brought into this position via the gripping device 20, as shown.

[0068] In Fig. 6, four pivot points of the parallelogram 21 are marked, wherein the parallelogram 21 is coupled to the base 23 with two first contact points 31, and is coupled to the connecting arm 25 with two second contact points 32.

[0069] In a further embodiment, a guide 33 can be provided, which is arranged in particular on the base 23. The guide is in particular in contact with a rod-shaped element of the parallelogram 21 such that the parallelogram 21 can be fixed in a desired deflection. Thus, the guide 33 can have a slot through which a screw can be guided. By fixing the screw, the rod-shaped element of the parallelogram 21 can be fixed to the guide 33, and thus to the base 23. Thus, the gripping device 20 can, for example, be arranged as shown in the Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 can be fixed in the upwardly deflected position to keep the grill insert 13 at a certain distance from the fire plate 4 or from a heat source for a certain period of time. This can be particularly advantageous if the heat source is initially too hot and the food to be grilled should be kept at a greater distance.

[0070] In Fig. 7 shows a section of a grill device 1 according to the invention in one possible embodiment. The interior of the base element 2 is shown, wherein in this embodiment three fastening arms 6 are provided in the interior space 3. The fastening arms are evenly distributed around the circumference of the fire plate 4 or the base element 2, so that a secure support for the fire plate 4 can be achieved. In a first section, the fastening arms 6 each have a support arm 7, which forms a support for the fire plate 4. In this first section, a second hook element 10 can also be provided, on which further accessories can be hooked. The support arm 7 and the second hook element 10 are each arranged outside the base element 2.

[0071] In a second section 8, which is oriented in particular transversely to the first section, first hook elements 9 are provided, which form a horizontal support for a support plate 14. The second section 8 is arranged in the interior space 3 of the base element 2.

[0072] In this embodiment, each fastening arm 6 has six hook elements 9 arranged one above the other, so that the distance between the heat source and the fire plate 4 or the grill insert 13 can be individually adjusted. This can be achieved, for example, by suspending the support plate 14 at different heights from the hook elements 9. For this purpose, the support plate 14 has recesses 15 provided on the support plate 14 corresponding to the positions of the hook elements 9 in the circumferential direction.

[0073] In an embodiment not shown, it would also be conceivable to place the support plate 14 on the hook elements 9 or to hold it clamped between the fastening arms 6.

[0074] The fire plate 4 can further have three holes 16 provided for mounting a tripod above the fire plate 4. Furthermore, or alternatively, the fire plate 4 can have holes 16 provided for mounting the table elements 34, in particular 10 to 12 holes, preferably 12 holes. Furthermore, a handle recess 19 can be provided for easily gripping the fire plate 4.

[0075] The fire plate 4 can also be used to lock the table mounts 35 without drilling. The table mounts 35 can be slid on and, in particular, secured with the fasteners 36.

[0076] Furthermore, a receiving device 17 for the gripping device 20 can be provided in the fire plate 4. This can, for example, consist of a bore through which the base 23 can be guided. To secure the base 23, further bores 18 can be provided, which are located next to the receiving device 17. The base 23 can be fixed to the fire plate 4 through the bores 18 and, for example, a flange 30, in particular via detachable fastening means, such as screw elements. For example, two screws can be used to vertically align the base 23 in a desired position.

[0077] Fig. Figure 8 shows a gripping device 20 according to the invention in a possible embodiment, wherein the four pivot points of the parallelogram 21 are represented by the two first contact points 31 and the two second contact points 32. By means of a guide 33, the parallelogram can be fixed in a desired position, as for example in Fig. 8(b) or Fig. 8(c). In the position according to Fig. 8(a), the parallelogram 21 does not need to be fixed, since the grill insert 13 rests in the recess 5 in the fire plate 4. The guide 33 has, in particular, a slot and a knurled screw. The knurled screw is easy to operate, allowing the parallelogram to be fixed in a desired position easily and without tools.

[0078] Fig. 9 shows a gripping device 20 according to the invention with a detailed view of the receptacle 26. As in Fig. As shown in Figure 9(a), the grill insert 13 is always aligned horizontally when it is gripped by the receptacle 26, in particular with the adapter element 11.

[0079] The receptacle 26 can have a gripping hook or a hook that is pivotably mounted. The hook can have a stop 37 that enables the receptacle 26 to be aligned relative to the connecting arm 25 such that, in a home position, the receptacle 26 can receive and support the grill insert 13 or the adapter element 11 horizontally.

[0080] In a further embodiment, a slider 38 can be included, which can be contacted with the stop 37. The slider 38 can prevent the receptacle 26 from being pivoted in such a way that the grill insert 13 is deflected from the horizontal and grilled food can fall off the grill insert 13. Furthermore, a desired deflection of the receptacle 26, in particular of the gripping hook or the hook, can be enabled by relative movement of the slider 38, as shown in Fig. 9(b).

[0081] The slider 38 and the stop 37 can each be in contact with a partial area of ​​the connecting arm 25 to enable a desired horizontal alignment. In particular, a counter-stop is provided in the connecting arm, against which the stop 37 can be supported. A recess can be arranged in this counter-stop, through which the slider 38 can extend. In this way, the complete arrangement can be implemented in a small installation space. The slider 38 is designed in particular as a knurled screw, wherein one area can be in contact with the stop 37 and another area with the connecting arm 25, as shown in Fig. 9(a). This allows suspended elements, such as the grill insert 13, to compensate for deformation of the grill plate when exposed to heat.

[0082] The adapter element 11 can have a recess into which the gripping hook or hook can engage, as in Fig. 9(a) and Fig. 9(b).

[0083] The receptacle 26 can have a relatively solid hook, ensuring secure mounting of the adapter element 11 with the grill insert 13. In particular, the receptacle 26 is designed with a wall thickness comparable to that of the adapter element 11 and / or the grill insert 13. The wall thickness can be, in particular, 5 mm. Other wall thicknesses are also conceivable.

[0084] Fig. 10 shows different positions of a gripping device 20. It can be seen how the grill insert 13 is aligned horizontally in the different positions A to D, whereby the gripping arm 21 can be pivoted vertically upwards and downwards as well as horizontally.

[0085] Fig. 11 shows another embodiment of a grill device 1. The support plate 14 can have slots into which the first hook elements 9 can engage. Slot-shaped recesses 15 can prevent rotation of the fastening arms 6. In particular, the shape of the recesses 15 is complementary to the shape of the hook elements 9. This can also prevent rattling.

[0086] Furthermore, the fire plate 4 is thereby “firmly” fixed in a position when rotation of the fastening arms 6 is prevented.

[0087] In a further embodiment, additional second hook elements 10 can be provided, which are arranged opposite the hook elements 10, 10a on the fastening arm 6. In particular, two hook elements 10b can be provided, so that, for example, a grill grate with two height levels and a diameter of 50 cm can be inserted. The grill device 1, in particular as a fire barrel, can thus be used as a grill without the fire plate 4.

[0088] The Fig. 12 and Fig. 28 show different arrangements of a table element 34 on a grill device 1. Different heights are shown, allowing both standing and seated tables to be used. The table elements 34 can be assembled and disassembled without tools in the various embodiments shown, as explained with reference to the following figures.

[0089] Fig. Figure 14 shows a further embodiment of a grill device 1, wherein the internal hook elements 10b are shown. These can be provided alternatively or in addition to the external hook elements 10a. Furthermore, additional holes 16 can be provided in the fire plate 4, see Fig. 18, may be provided to lock and / or fix the table elements 34.

[0090] The Fig. 15 and Fig. 16 show a possible assembly of a table element 34 on a grill device 1. For this purpose, table holders 35 are provided which have slot-shaped receptacles into which the table elements 34 can be hung or inserted. The table holders 35 can be fixed to the fire plate 4 by also having a slot-shaped receptacle into which the fire plate 4 can be inserted. The table holders 35 can therefore have at least one slot-shaped receptacle on opposite sides so that the table holders 35 can be inserted into the fire plate 4 on one side and at least one table element 34 can be inserted on the other side. In particular, several slots are arranged one below the other on one side in order to hang table elements 34 at different heights.

[0091] The attachment of the table brackets 35 and the fire plate 4, as well as the attachment of the table tops 34 to the table brackets 35, can be done without tools. A locking mechanism is not absolutely necessary, but may be useful for safety reasons. For example, a fixing mechanism 36 can be provided that allows the table brackets 35 to be locked to the fire plate 4. For this purpose, the fixing mechanism 36 can engage in holes 16. For example, the fixing mechanism 36 can be designed as a U-shaped retaining element that can encompass the table brackets 35 and engage in the holes 16.

[0092] Fig. 17 shows a possible embodiment of a table element 35. The tables can be equipped, for example, with Gastro-Norm containers (GN containers).

[0093] Fig. Figure 18 shows a possible assembly of a table element 34 to a grill device 1 in detail. Three assembly steps are shown. As shown in Fig. As shown in Figure 18(c), the table holders 35 are additionally prevented from coming out or being pushed out independently by the fixing devices 36.

[0094] Another embodiment of a table holder 35 is shown in the Fig. 19 to 28. In contrast to the embodiment according to the Fig. 12 to 18, the table mount 35 is suspended from below into the fire plate 4. For this purpose, the table mount 35 has at least one projection 39 that can be inserted or threaded into a recess or through hole, in particular a bore 16. Advantageously, only a small portion of the table mount 35 protrudes from an upper side of the fire plate 4, so that the surface of the fire plate 4 is barely affected by the table mounts 35.

[0095] The table mount 35 according to the Fig. 19 to 28 can also be suitable for the installation of extensions in general, as already described above.

[0096] The Fig. 19 and Fig. 20 show how a table holder 35 can be threaded into the fire plate 4 and hung or attached to the fire plate 4 in one possible embodiment.

[0097] The table holder 35 can have a projection 39 on at least one side, which is designed in particular as a hook element, nose, nipple or the like. In particular, the projection 39 has at least one undercut, so that the table holder 35 can be securely fastened to the fire plate 4. In particular, the fire plate 4 engages in the undercut of the table holder 35. Consequently, the table holder 35 can be fastened in a bore 16 in the fire plate 4. In this embodiment, this is done via the projection 39, wherein the projection 39 is threaded into the bore 16. In this case, the table holder 35 is held at an angle with respect to the fire plate 4, threaded into the bore 16 and then brought into a vertical position. This allows the projection 39 to hold or hang in the bore 16. These steps are associated with positions A to C in the Fig. 19 to 21 shown.

[0098] This allows for particularly simple attachment of attachments on or to the fire plate 4, enabling a lockable attachment of various elements or components used in conjunction with the grill. In particular, by applying a weight to the attachments during use, the direction of the weight load can serve to securely fix them to the fire plate.

[0099] Through a bore 16, the projection 39 can be inserted, advantageously from two sides of the fire plate 4, at an angle of in particular 30° to 60°, in particular 45°, relative to a horizontal plane. The projection 39 locks in particular automatically as soon as it moves in the direction of use, in particular vertically. Locking the table mount 35 to the fire plate 4 is therefore preferably assisted by the leverage effect during use of the table element 34 or another element attached to the table mount 35.

[0100] Advantageously, the assembly on the fire plate and the assembly of the table elements 34 or other attachments are carried out without tools, in particular also locking and unlocking.

[0101] The hooking direction of the projections 39 on the fire plate 4 is preferably oriented in such a way that fixation is supported when the table elements 34 are used. Accordingly, the projection 39 is preferably oriented in the direction in which the table element 34 is attached.

[0102] Before or after attaching the table holder 35 to the fire plate 4, the table element 34 can be hung in the table holder 35. For this purpose, the table element 34 can have projections 40, as shown for example in Fig. 25 to Fig. 28, and the table mount 35 have receptacles 41, as shown for example in Fig. 20 (a) shown.

[0103] In addition to the projections 39, the table mount 35 can have a further projection 39a opposite the projection 39, which can be structurally identical to the projection 39 but mirrored thereto, in particular point-symmetrical. In particular, both projections 39, 39a are designed as hook elements or lugs with an undercut, with the two projections 39, 39a being oriented in the same circumferential direction, thus clockwise or counterclockwise. This allows the table mount 35 to be used for mounting above or below the fire plate 4.

[0104] Mounting of the table holder 35 on a top side of the fire plate 4 is shown in the Fig. 22 to 28. In the Fig. 25 to 28 an embodiment is shown in which the table holder 35 is inserted rotated into the holes 16. As in Fig. 26 (b), the bore 16 can have a rectangular cross-section, whereby the rectangular shape allows the table holder 35 to be positioned at 90° to one another, either by fixing the table holder 35 to the fire plate 4 or by detaching it from the fire plate 4. The projection 39b can be flat and have two opposing undercuts, so that a type of head is formed, as shown in Fig. 26 (b).

[0105] Furthermore, the table holder 35 can be angled to the fire plate 4 and threaded from above into the hole 16, as shown in Fig. 22 and Fig. 23. The tool-free assembly from above on the fire plate 4 is the same as the tool-free assembly from below on the fire plate 4. As shown in Fig. As shown in Figure 28 (b), a secure fixation of the table element 34 and the table mount 35 to the fire plate 4 can be additionally ensured by applying a load to the table element 34. In such an embodiment, the projections 39b on opposite sides of the table mount can be configured identically to one another in such a way that they are symmetrical to a plane.

[0106] Although the table mounts 35 are referred to as table mounts and are shown in conjunction with a table element 34, the table mounts 35 are to be understood as general mounts and may also be referred to as mounts, bench mounts, kitchen utensil mounts, seat mounts, and the like.

[0107] As in the Fig. 19 to 29, the table elements 35 can have, for example, Gastro-Norm containers (GN containers) or other receptacles, receptacles, recesses or depressions.

[0108] In all embodiments, the table holders 35 can have a plurality of slots 42 into which the table elements 34, or other elements, can be suspended.

[0109] In general, regardless of the embodiment, two table brackets 35 are necessary in particular to fix a table element 34 to the fire plate 4.

[0110] As in the Fig. 19 to 28, handle elements can be provided on the fire plate 4 in order to better transport the fire plate 4 in the disassembled state of the grill device 1.

[0111] Although the present invention has been fully described above using preferred embodiments, it is not limited thereto but can be modified in many ways.
