Description

Addendum to patent 8905728 of April 28, 19SS: Demountable barbecue, cooking vertically on its 4 sides. Compared to the type of device proposed in the aforementioned patent application, the barbecue covered by this addendum includes the following features: - The demountable cube-body consists of 4 vertical brackets 1 / R07 held by 4 profiles 1 / R03 fixed to a base 1 / R08. The wings, notched or not, of these brackets support the skewer swings 3 / R016. - The legs l / R04 are designed to support the upper frame 2 / R015, which is profiled to collect juices dripping from a stone 2 / R014. - The ring 2 / R017 allows the swings to be moved and turned without burning oneself, using an insulated hook with a handle (not shown). Tilting the support for this ring locks a fireproof glass plate, symbolized by the dashed line in 2 / R016, against the inside of the frame of the skewer-swing. - The fuel: charcoal, compressed wood waste or other is placed in 4 removable, self-contained metal cassettes l / R01, open at the top, fitted with a grid 1 / ROll on one side and an orientable hook 3 / R05 on the other; These cassettes are shaped like an off-center octagon, the large face being the grid 1 / ROll, the hook 3 / R05 on the back fixed in a movable manner at mid-height to allow the cassettes to be removed, transported, reloaded and replaced using a hook with an insulated handle. These cassettes are placed inside the cube, grids facing outwards for cooking the kebabs, as in 1 / ROll, but can be turned inwards, as in 1 / R010, so as to free up a central space which allows a poultry to be skewered, vertically, on the central spit l / R012 and 3 / R019 and cooked on its 4 sides without having to turn it.In "skewer" position, only one, two or three cassettes can be used, depending on the needs. - As with kebabs, the fat and juices from the poultry, released during cooking, flow downwards without having had time to burn and are collected in a tray intended to receive them 3 / R020. - Each swing 2 / R016 is equipped internally with a removable window, sliding in a track (dotted line 2 / R016) made of fireproof, heat-resistant glass which protects the user from sparks from the fuel, from grease splatters from the skewers during cooking and keeps the skewers warm when they are turned outwards. - The upper oven is replaced by a flat square stone 2 / R014, lava stone, granite or similar heat-resistant product, accumulating heat on top of this stone: polished, constituting a work table, meat grill or food warmer, heated as it is by the heat rising from the cassettes when they cook poultry or kebabs. - This stone 2 / R014 rests on a grooved frame, profile 2 / R015, itself resting on the profiles 1 / R04, and intended to collect the juice, fats and sauces that would overflow from the stone 2 / R014. - Apart from the cubic shape of the example given, other barbecue shapes are possible, which would modify the shape of the fireboxes and the stone, thus altering its capacity; for example, a parallelepiped shape by increasing the height or length of two sides for larger or more poultry; or by reducing the width of two sides to make a single or double-sided barbecue, with or without poultry; not to mention other shapes such as triangular, 5- or 6-sided, or even oval or cylindrical. Poultry or other meats. - In the case of electric heating, the fuel cassettes would be replaced in whole or in part by autonomous groups of electric resistances preferably horizontal, facing each skewer, shielded under metal tube or quartz tube 1 / ru 13, groups plugged vertically and electrically onto the base thus protecting the wiring of the electrical supply, all connections being made in high temperature materials. - Thus, the 4-sided barbecue would be transformed into a quartz electric radiator with four heating levels. - Electric generators or fuel cassettes can also be replaced by small town gas or butane or propane gas burners. R01 = fuel cassette wall. R02 = R010 = ash collection flap. R03 = retaining profile. R04 = stone frame support. R05 = cassette transport hook. R06 = railing support. R07 = Vertical brackets. R08 = Base. R09 = Cassette supports. R010 = Ash collection flap. ROll = Grill bars. R012 = Removable central spit support. R013 = Optional electrical conduit. R014 = Stone. R015 = Removable frame supporting the stone. R016 = Glass pane, fireproof glass. R017 = Transport ring, securing the glass pane by tilting. R018 = Pins for securing the cassette or, optionally, the gas burner or the electric unit and its power supply. R019 = Removable poultry spit. R020 = Drip tray for collecting juices and grease. - The removable base R015 of the R014 stone, equipped with insulated handles, allows it to be moved and placed while still hot on a protected table.
