[0042] With reference to Figures 1-3, it can be observed that a preferred embodiment of the table with integrated barbecue according to the invention includes a brazier 10 whose mouth, which is advantageously substantially cylindrical in shape, is delimited by a substantially circular top edge 13, wherein the brazier 10 has a longitudinal axis that passes through its mouth and passes through the center of the circumference described by the top edge 13.

[0043] A top external side wall 18, having a substantially cylindrical shape with a longitudinal extension parallel to the longitudinal axis of the brazier 10, is integrally coupled with the external wall of the brazier 10 by means of a plurality of couplings bars 15; as shown in particular in Figure 1, the couplings bars 15 are advantageously arranged radially along respective radii of the top external side wall 18, i.e. orthogonally to the longitudinal axis of the brazier 10, with the top external side wall 18 being arranged laterally outside the brazier 10.

[0044] The top edge 19 of the top external side wall 18 acts as a load-bearing structure configured to support a support shelf 20 having the shape of an annulus, having a large central circular opening 23 in which the support shelf 20 acts as a table top for the users, as shown for example in Figure 2, for example to place plates, cutlery, glasses and bottles. It must be kept in mind that in other embodiments of the table with integrated barbecue according to the invention, the top edge 19 of the top external side wall 18 and the top edge 13 of the brazier 10 are arranged substantially at the same height from the ground, so the top edge 13 of the brazier 10 is also part of the load-bearing structure configured to support the support shelf 20.

[0045] Advantageously, the brazier 10 is made of galvanized steel and painted at high temperature, and the internal concave surface of the brazier 10 is covered with a layer of refractory material, which can be applied for example using powder paint. As shown in Figure 3, the brazier 10 is configured to receive, particularly on this concave surface, a combustible material, conventionally solid fuel such as, for example, charcoal 45, and / or embers, possibly placed above a bed of stones 40 of refractory clay or refractory vermiculite.

[0046] Advantageously, the support shelf 20 is made of wood, optionally water-resistant wood, for example by applying a waterproofing paint comprising or consisting of epoxy resin, with a thickness optionally varying from 2 to 4 centimeters, more optionally substantially equal to 3 centimeters; alternatively to or in combination with wood, the support shelf 20 can be made with at least one lava stone slab, advantageously smoothed and optionally decorated by hand, with a thickness optionally varying from 2 to 4 centimetres, more optionally substantially equal to 3 centimetres. In the preferred embodiments of the table with integrated barbecue according to the invention, the internal diameter and external diameter of the annulus shaped support shelf 20 vary from about 86 centimeters to about 86 centimeters and from about 132 centimeters to about 140 centimeters, respectively. When the support shelf 20 is supported by the load-bearing structure of the brazier 10, advantageously the height of its upper surface from the ground is equal to approximately 84 centimetres.

[0047] The brazier 10 is supported by three base support legs 30, in particular arranged so that their longitudinal extension axes are along a circumference whose center is crossed by the longitudinal axis of the brazier 10, i.e. which is concentric to the top edge 13 of the brazier 10. Advantageously, the three legs 30 are angularly equidistant, i.e. angularly spaced from each other by 120° along the circumference on which they are arranged, each of which is provided with a respective swivel castor wheel 35 equipped with brake 37.

[0048] As shown in Figure 4, in correspondence with the mouth of the brazier 10, the lateral wall of the brazier 10 is internally provided with a plurality of internal lateral support pins 11, arranged along internal radii of the top edge 13 which delimits the mouth, on which an annulus shaped grill 50 is placed in a removable way, so that the grill 50 has an opening 52, in which, in the preferred embodiment of the table with integrated barbecue according to the invention shown in the Figures, the grill 50 has a circular external contour and the opening 52 is central and circular. Advantageously, the grill 50 is rotatable and can be provided with one or more perimeter handles 55. In particular, the internal lateral support pins 11 may or may not be aligned with at least some of the coupling bars 15. As shown in particular in Figure 3, the grill 50 advantageously has a truncated cone shape, even if this is not an essential characteristic of the invention.

[0049] Advantageously, the grill 50 is made of stainless steel and / or is manufactured without welding or almost completely without welding. Optionally, the outer diameter of the grill 50 varies from approximately 50 centimeters to approximately 83 centimeters. The grill 50 and the internal lateral support pins 11 that support it are sufficiently strong to support, in addition to food, also one or more stone slabs 90, optionally lava stone, as shown in Figures 1 and 5, so as to allow , during cooking, to put meat or fish on the grill and at the same time place other foods, such as cheese, on the stone slabs.

[0050] An electric fan 60 is externally coupled, advantageously in a removable manner, to the base of the brazier 10 and is configured to make external air flow inside a base duct 12 with which the electric fan 60 is in fluid communication; the base duct 12 is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the brazier 10 and arranged centrally to the brazier 10, so that the longitudinal axis of the brazier 10 coincides with the longitudinal axis of the base duct 12. In the preferred embodiment of the table with integrated barbecue according to the invention shown in the Figures, the electric fan 60 is housed in a base compartment 65 externally coupled with the base of the brazier 10, advantageously in a removable way, the wall of which is provided with a plurality of holes 66 to allow the air to pass from the outside to the inside of the base compartment 65 when the electric fan 60 is turned on and makes air flow inside the base duct 12. The electric power supply of the electric fan 60 is advantageously provided by conventional electric cables that can be connected to the mains or can also be supplied by electric batteries. Advantageously, the electric fan 60 is a centrifugal fan and / or is equipped with a rotation speed controller.

[0051] A terminal ventilation duct 70 is configured to be coupled with the base duct 12 by mutual sliding and to be in fluid communication with the base duct 12. When coupled with base duct 12, the terminal ventilation duct 70 passes through the central opening 52 of the grill 50.

[0052] The top end 72 of the terminal ventilation duct 70, opposite the base end 71 thereof, shown in Figure 8, through which the terminal ventilation duct 70 is coupled with the base duct 12, is equipped with a deflector plate 73 supported by three external lateral flanges 74 coupled with the terminal ventilation duct 70 and is spaced from the end 72 of the terminal ventilation duct 70, optionally by a distance along the longitudinal axis of the terminal ventilation duct 70 varying from 1 centimeter to 10 centimeters, more optionally varying from 1 centimeter to 7 centimeters, even more optionally varying from 1.5 centimeters to 4 centimeters, even more optionally substantially equal to 2 centimeters. In the preferred embodiment of the table with integrated barbecue according to the invention shown in the Figures, the deflector plate 73 is circular.

[0053] Optionally, when the terminal ventilation duct 70 is coupled with base duct 12, the deflector plate 73 is at a distance from the grill 50 along the longitudinal axis of the brazier 10 varying from 2 centimeters to 15 centimeters, more optionally varying from 3 centimeters to 10 centimeters, even more optionally varying from 4 centimeters to 7 centimeters, even more optionally substantially equal to 5 centimetres.

[0054] Figure 8 shows an enlargement of the terminal ventilation duct 70 coupled with the base duct 12. As also shown in particular in Figure 3, a top portion 14 of the base duct 12 has an external diameter smaller than the external diameter of the body of the base duct 12, so that the lateral surface of the base duct 12 forms externally a top step, and the internal diameter of the terminal ventilation duct 70 is not less than, advantageously substantially equal to, the external diameter of the top portion 14 of the base duct 12, so the base end 71 of the terminal ventilation duct 70 can slide outside the top portion 14 of the base duct 12 until it comes to rest on the top step which acts as an element to stop the sliding of the terminal ventilation duct 70 on base duct 12. Figure 8 shows the terminal ventilation arrangement duct 70 and the deflector plate 73 supported by the three external lateral flanges 74. As shown in particular in Figure 3, when in operation, the electric fan 60 makes air flow from outside the compartment 65 into the base duct 12 which is in fluid communication with the terminal ventilation duct 70, whereby the external air comes out from the top end 72 of the terminal ventilation duct 70, hits the deflector plate 73 and is spread from it onto grill 50 and onto brazier 10; when the brazier 10 contains combustible material, this is ventilated by the so diffused air that fuels the combustion of the combustible material.

[0055] On top of the deflector plate 73 is integrally coupled with a top tube 75 which extends along the same longitudinal axis of the terminal ventilation duct 70 and which is provided at the top end with a support plate 76, oriented orthogonally to the longitudinal axis of the terminal ventilation duct 70. The support plate 76, which in the preferred embodiment of the table with integrated barbecue according to the invention shown in the Figures is circular, is configured to support plates and / or trays, for example containing raw food or cooked food before or after cooking, respectively.

[0056] The support plate 76 is centrally provided with a hole 77, advantageously circular, corresponding to the top end of the top tube 75 into which the rod of a patio umbrella or of a cooker hood can be inserted, for example in aluminium, to allow the possible use of the table with integrated barbecue according to the invention even inside a room. Advantageously, the circular hole 77 has a diameter varying from 32 to 35 centimetres.

[0057] The top tube 75 is also provided, in a top portion below the support plate 76, with a bell 78 facing downwards and configured to attenuate the heat that rises from the brazier 10 during combustion towards the support plate 76; however, the bell 78 is not an essential feature of the invention.

[0058] It must be noted that in other embodiments of the table with integrated barbecue according to the invention, the brazier can have a top edge which delimits, i.e. it is the contour or perimeter of, a closed flat geometric figure also different from a circle, such as for example an ellipse or a polygon, or even an open flat geometric figure, such as for example a portion of a circle, a portion of an ellipse or a portion of a polygon, for which it can be a closed or open nonintertwined polygonal line, always remaining in the scope of protection of the present invention as defined by the attached claims. In particular, in the case in which the top edge of the brazier delimits an open flat geometric figure, the brazier is advantageously provided with a lateral opening which allows more convenient access to the inside of the brazier even when it is covered by the grill and / or from the cover, for example allowing a user to clean the inside of the brazier and to insert or remove fuel, such as embers or charcoal, from inside the brazier .

[0059] Furthermore, the support shelf of further embodiments of the table with integrated barbecue according to the invention can substantially define a perimeter portion, possibly with internal and / or external curved edges, of a flat geometric figure, at less than the thickness of the shelf support, different from an annular, in which the flat geometric figure can be either closed, such as for example an ellipse or a polygon, or even an open flat geometric figure, such as for example a portion of a circle, a portion of an ellipse or a portion of the polygon, always remaining within the scope of protection of the present invention as defined by the attached claims. Furthermore, the flat geometric figure whose perimeter portion is defined by the support shelf may not correspond to the flat geometric figure delimited by the top edge of the brazier; by way of example, and not by way of limitation, the flat geometric figure delimited by the top edge of the brazier could be a circle while the support shelf could define a perimeter portion of an open polygonal geometric figure.

[0060] It must further be noted that other embodiments of the table with integrated barbecue according to the invention, especially when the brazier has large size, can include two or more electric fans, each having an arrangement similar to what has been seen for the embodiments shown in the Figures, whereby each electric fan is coupled externally to the base of the brazier and is in fluid communication with a respective base duct which can be coupled with a respective terminal ventilation duct by reciprocal sliding, in which the terminal ventilation duct is provided with a deflector plate spaced from the end of the terminal ventilation duct, always remaining within the scope of protection of the present invention as defined by the attached claims.
