Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, assembled stoves have problems such as being time-consuming during use start and storage, including assembly work, disassembly work, and storage work, and there is also a possibility of losing parts.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a folding stove capable of reducing the labor and the possibility of losing parts that occur during use start and storage.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The folding stove according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a cage-shaped main body, four legs rotatably attached near the upper ends near each of the two ends on both sides of the main body, a shelf rotatably attached near the lower part of each of the four legs, and a connecting portion that connects the two legs so that a quadrilateral formed by the two legs attached to the same side of the main body among the four legs deforms from a rectangle through a parallelogram to a substantially straight state.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0008] Hereinafter, a folding stove according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a folding stove according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration example of a folding stove in a standing state according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration example of a folding stove in a folded state according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0009] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the folding stove 1 according to the present embodiment includes a rectangular cage-shaped stove main body 11, a net 12 attached to the upper opening of the stove main body 11, four legs 15 that support the stove main body 11 from both sides, and a shelf 17 attached near the lower part of the legs 15.

[0010] Charcoal is placed inside the internal cavity of the stove body 11 during use. An innumerable number of holes for taking in oxygen are provided on at least one (four in this example) side surface of the stove body 11. Further, handles 13 for carrying the foldable stove 1 may be provided on both sides of the stove body 11.

[0011] Legs 15 are rotatably attached via washers 14 near each of the two ends on each side of the stove body 11. Near the lower part of the four legs 15 attached to the stove body 11, near each of the two ends on each side of the shelf 17 are rotatably attached.

[0012] A pair of two legs 15 attached to each side of the stove body 11 are connected by a connecting portion 16. The connecting portion 16 has a joint at approximately the center and is configured to be able to bend to one side from a straight state.

[0013] In this way, by rotatably attaching the stove body 11 to the upper ends of the four legs 15, rotatably attaching the shelf 17 near the lower part of the four legs 15, and connecting each pair of two legs 15 with a connecting portion 16 having a joint, it becomes possible to transform the foldable stove 1 in the standing state as shown in FIG. 2 into the foldable stove 1 in the folded state as shown in FIG. 3. At this time, the connecting portion 16 deforms from the state where the joint is extended and in a straight state to the state where the joint is bent and folded, and thereby, the quadrilateral formed by the pair of two legs 15 as two opposite sides deforms from a rectangle (standing state) via a parallelogram to a substantially straight state (folded state).

[0014] Naturally, it is also possible to transform the foldable stove 1 in the folded state as shown in FIG. 3 into the foldable stove 1 in the standing state as shown in FIG. 2. At this time, the connecting portion 16 deforms from the folded state to the straight state, and thereby, the quadrilateral formed by the pair of two legs 15 deforms from a substantially straight state (folded state) via a parallelogram to a rectangle (standing state).

[0015] Here, a locking portion for maintaining the connecting portion 16 in a linear state may be provided at the joint portion of the connecting portion 16 in order to stabilize the folding stove 1 in the standing state.

[0016] Further, at least one of the stove body 11, the net 12, the handle 13, the washer 14, the legs 15, the connecting portion 16, and the shelf 17 may be made of, for example, a metal or alloy excellent in heat resistance, rigidity, and workability, such as iron, aluminum, or stainless steel. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various materials may be used as long as they are materials excellent in heat resistance, rigidity, and workability.

[0017] As described above, the folding stove 1 according to the present embodiment can be stably in the standing state during use and can be folded compactly during storage or transportation. Thereby, it is possible to significantly reduce the labor for assembly at the start of use, disassembly during storage or transportation, and the like. In addition, since there is no need to disassemble during storage or transportation, it is also possible to reduce the possibility of losing parts.

[0018] As described above, the embodiments and modifications thereof of the present disclosure have been described. However, the technical scope of the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments or modifications as they are, and various changes are possible without departing from the gist of the present disclosure.
