Rotisserie grill with simplified turning mechanism thanks to grill skewers with functional cutouts

Abstract

Grilling device comprising a front skewer holder (1), a rear skewer holder (2) and at least one grill skewer (3) mounted therein, characterized in that the grill skewer (3) has a front functional recess (c) and a rear functional recess (d) on its longitudinal axis, which interact with corresponding openings (a, b) in the skewer holders (1, 2) in such a way that the grill skewer (3) can be moved by axial displacement between a locked position and a rotatable turning position.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to grilling technology, in particular devices for motor-driven rotation and simplified turning of skewers in grilling appliances or rotisserie systems. Brief description of the invention

[0002] The invention relates to a rotisserie spit, consisting of two spit holders and several skewers, which are equipped with special functional recesses and elliptical mounts. These allow the skewers to be turned during grilling without having to remove them from the holders or stop the motor. It is intended for all common grilled foods, but is particularly effective when grilling whole chicken parts.

[0003] The invention offers a particularly simple, safe and efficient way to handle grilling.

[0004] The invention relates to a device for grilling food, in particular chicken parts and shish kebabs, consisting of several grilling skewers which can be held in skewer holders and driven by a motor. In particular, the invention relates to a device in which turning the skewers during grilling is simplified and made possible without stopping the motor. State of the art

[0005] Common shashlik sets for rotisserie grills typically consist of two skewer holders and six skewers. These designs require the motor to be completely stopped regularly to turn the skewers. Each skewer must then be removed from its holder, rotated 180°, and reinserted.

[0006] Since both the skewers and the food being grilled become very hot during operation, this process is time-consuming, cumbersome, and involves an increased risk of injury. Furthermore, the process must be repeated for each individual skewer, which complicates and hinders the overall grilling process. The problem underlying the invention

[0007] The object of the invention is to provide a rotisserie spit unit that simplifies the manual turning of the skewers and allows this to be done without stopping the grill motor. At the same time, it aims to make handling safer and more convenient, as well as to optimize grilling operations. Solution to the task

[0008] The problem is solved by the device consisting of two skewer holders and six grill skewers, with both the skewers and the skewer holders being equipped with special functional recesses or elliptically shaped receptacles.

[0009] The skewers have functional recesses at their ends, designed to fit into corresponding elliptical holes in the skewer holders. This geometric combination allows the skewer to be moved from its locked position to a rotating position during grilling, turned 180°, and then pushed back into the locked position – all without having to completely remove the skewer from the holder.

[0010] The special shape of the elliptical holes securely locks the spit after it has been pushed back. This eliminates the need to stop the motor to turn the skewers. Advantages of the invention

[0011] The invention is characterized in particular by the following advantages: • Turning without removing the skewer: The skewer does not need to be removed from the holder, which greatly simplifies handling. • No need to shut off the engine: Turning can be done while the grill is running, allowing the grilling process to continue smoothly and without interruption. • Increased safety: Contact with hot skewers is reduced, as the process involves minimal manual contact. • Simple construction: The combination of functional cutouts on the skewer and elliptical mounts on the holder enables a robust, easy-to-produce solution. Example of implementation

[0012] A preferred embodiment comprises a front spit holder (1) and a rear spit holder (2), which are attached to a motor-driven rotisserie spit by means of the wing screw (4) as a quick-release fastener.

[0013] The front functional recesses (c) on the skewers (3) correspond to the round openings (a) on the front skewer holder (1) for holding the position in the locking mechanism.

[0014] The rear functional recesses (d) on the skewers (3) correspond to the elliptical openings (b) on the rear skewer holder (2) for locking and turning.

[0015] To turn the skewer (3) is pushed briefly inwards into the elliptical opening (b) on the rear skewer holder (2) into a free position, then turned 180° and subsequently moved back into the locking position.

Claims

[1] Grilling device comprising a front skewer holder (1), a rear skewer holder (2) and at least one grilling skewer (3) stored therein, characterized by , that the grill skewer (3) has a front functional recess (c) and a rear functional recess (d) on its longitudinal axis, which interact with corresponding openings (a, b) in the skewer holders (1, 2) in such a way that the grill skewer (3) can be moved by axial displacement between a locked position and a rotatable turning position. [2] Grilling device according to claim 1, characterized by , that the front skewer holder (1) has round openings (a) which, in the locked position, interact positively with the front functional recess (c) of the grill skewer (3) to effect axial fixation. [3] Grilling device according to claim 1 or 2, characterized by, that the rear skewer holder (2) has openings (b) with an elliptical cross-section which are designed to accommodate the rear functional recess (d) of the grill skewer (3). [4] Grilling device according to claim 3, characterized by , that the elliptical openings (b) and the rear functional recess (d) are dimensioned such that the grill skewer (3) is fixed in the locked position in two angular positions offset by exactly 180°, while in the axially offset turning position free rotation of the grill skewer (3) within the elliptical opening (b) is enabled. [5] Grilling device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by , that the round openings (a) of the front skewer holder (1) are dimensioned such that they guide the grill skewer (3) radially centered in the turning position during the turning process.
