Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a portable fire pit for outdoor use. [Background technology]

[0002] Portable fire pits used outdoors are often used not only for heating but also for cooking, and a grate on which to place pots and other items is convenient. To use it for both heating and cooking, it is good to have a grate that can be removed and attached. It is even better if it is possible to carry it with the grate attached. With conventional fire pits, it is difficult to remove and attach the grate or the stand on which the grate is placed, and there are often problems with stability when carrying it with the grate attached. These problems are factors that reduce convenience for users. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent 7231268 [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication 2021-14932 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Patent Document 1 describes a fire pit in which the stand including the grate is fixed and the fire pit is stable when carried with the grate attached, but the stand on which the grate is placed cannot be removed or attached. When using the stove for heating purposes without cooking, the stand can be an obstacle to use, so there is a need for a stove that allows the stand on which the grate is placed to be removed and attached.

[0005] Patent Document 2 describes a fire pit that allows the trivet to be removed and attached, but it is difficult to transport with the trivet attached. Claim 5 states that "the first connecting rod portion 4a and the second connecting rod portion 4b are detachable from the first main frame portion and the second main frame portion, respectively," and it is stated that the trivet can be attached and detached. Paragraph 0029 also states that "the outer diameters of the first support shaft 41a to the fourth support shaft 42b are smaller than the inner diameters of the first vertical frame portion 30a to the fourth vertical frame portion 31b. ...They can be connected by inserting them from the upper ends. ...They can be freely removed." That is, the outer diameter of the support shaft is smaller than the inner diameter of the vertical frame portion, and the first connecting rod portion 4a and the second connecting rod portion 4b are simply inserted into the first main frame portion and the second main frame portion, so the trivet can be removed and attached. However, there is no mention of whether the trivet is stable when carried with the trivet attached. For example, if the first connecting rod portion 4a and the second connecting rod portion 4b are held during carrying, they may come out because they are simply inserted. If the other parts are carried by holding them, for example, if the diagonally opposite vertical frame portion 30a and the vertical frame portion 31b are carried with both hands, it is difficult to hold and unstable. Therefore, although the trivet can be removed and attached in Patent Document 2, it is difficult to carry the trivet with the trivet attached. Therefore, there is a demand for a portable fire pit that is easy to remove and attach and has a strength that allows it to be carried even with the grate attached.

[0006] The present invention has been proposed in view of the above circumstances. That is, it is a portable fire pit that has a stand including a grate that is easy to remove and attach, and is strong enough to be carried with the grate attached. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In a fire pit equipped with a removable and attachable stand that supports a fire bed, side parts, and a grate, a holding part is welded to the leg of the stand near the tip of the leg, the holding part is a roughly cylindrical half-shape that surrounds the leg and has a recess when viewed from the inside, the recess is located below the welding point of the holding part, and a protrusion corresponding to the recess is provided on the support part on the fire pit main body side, This fire pit is characterized by the fact that when removing and installing, the engagement between the concave and convex portions is released or established by applying force from the outside to the legs of the stand to deform them inward (hereinafter, outside and inside refer to outside and inside when viewed from the front).

[0008] This fire pit is characterized in that the welding of the holding part and the legs is done at two locations: the upper end of the holding part and a hole provided near the center of the holding part. Effect of the Invention

[0009] The present invention provides a concave portion in a holding portion welded to a portion near the tip of the leg of the stand and a convex portion on the main body of the fire pit, and by releasing or establishing the engagement between the concave portion and the convex portion, it makes it easier to remove and attach the stand, improves stability, and enables it to be carried while attached. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THEINVENTION

[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the fire pit according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a fire pit according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view of the fire pit. The fire pit 1 comprises a fire bed 2, a pair of side panels 4a and 4b erected facing each other to support the fire bed 2, and a pair of stands 3a and 3b supporting a grate 9. Stands 3a and 3b are round metal bars. The stand 3a is intended to support a grate and includes an upper side portion 5a, a middle side portion 6a, and legs 7a and 7a' located on both sides. The stand 3b is similar. The legs 7a and 7a' are provided with holding portions 8a and 8a' at their lower ends, respectively. This fire pit is not only used to keep warm, but also for cooking purposes; firewood is placed on the fire bed 2, ignited, a grate 9 is attached, and a clay pot, iron pot, iron plate, etc. (not shown) containing food is placed on the grate 9 for cooking.

[0011] In addition, by providing an upper side and a middle side on the stand, the fire pit of the present invention is designed to allow the height of the trivet to be adjusted to three levels. This adjustment function allows the user to flexibly change the height of the trivet to suit different cooking requirements, allowing the user to respond to various cooking situations. Furthermore, the height-adjustable trivet expands the scope of use of the fire pit and allows it to accommodate more diverse cooking methods.

[0012] FIG. 3 is an enlarged view showing the detailed relationship between the recess of the holding portion and the protrusion on the fire pit main body. The holding portion 8a is in the shape of a half cylinder at the tip of the leg 7a of the stand 3a so as to surround the leg 7a. The holding portion 8a is welded to the leg in a portion close to the tip of the leg. The holding portion 8a' is similar. The holding portion 8a has a recess 10a. When viewed from the inside of the recess 10a, it has a concave shape, and when viewed from the outside, it has a corresponding convex shape. The recess 10a is located below the welding point of the holding portion. A convex portion 12a is provided on the support portion 11a on the fire pit main body, and when removing or installing, the leg of the stand is deformed inward by applying force from the outside to release or establish the engagement between the concave portion 10a of the holding portion and the convex portion 12a.

[0013] The support portion 11a is connected to an L-shaped fixed portion 13a that is fixed to the fire bed 2. The fixed portion 13a is inserted into a shaft portion 14a at the end of the side portion.

[0014] In other words, a holding portion having an approximately half-cylinder shape is welded to the leg near the tip of the leg of the stand, the holding portion has a recess on the inside side which is located below the welding point of the holding portion, and a protrusion corresponding to the recess is provided on the support portion on the side of the fire pit main body, and when removing and installing the fire pit, the engagement between the recess and the protrusion of the holding portion is released or established by applying force from the outside to the stand to deform it inward.

[0015] Fig. 4 is an enlarged view of the holding portion 8a. The holding portion and the leg portion 7a are welded to each other in the vicinity of the tip of the leg portion of the stand, preferably at two locations: the upper end portion 15a of the holding portion and a hole portion 16a near the center of the holding portion. Welding at these two locations ensures the support and strength required when removing and installing the stand.

[0016] FIG. 5 shows the connection between the fire bed and the side sections. The support portion 11a (not shown) is connected to an L-shaped fixed portion 13a that is fixed to the fire bed 2. The fixed portion 13a is inserted into a shaft portion 14a at the end of the side portion. [Industrial Applicability]
