Publication number: 20220175187Abstract: A wood burning grill includes a cabinet that defines a coal support platform for supporting burning wood during a grilling process. A grate is positioned above the coal support platform and a grate positioning assembly mechanically couples the grate to the cabinet. The grate positioning assembly includes two four-bar linkage systems positioned on opposite sides of the grate for suspending the grate in cantilevered manner from the cabinet. Each four-bar linkage system includes a drive arm that is mechanically coupled to the drive gear and a support arm that maintains the grate in a substantially horizontal orientation while moving between the raised position and the lowered position. A hand wheel is rotatably mounted to the cabinet and is coupled to the drive gear through a rotating shaft and a worm gear such that rotating the hand wheel moves the grate between the raised position and the lowered position.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2020Publication date: June 9, 2022Inventors: Tomas Garces, Gonzalo Luis Ocano, Daniel Carballo, Eric Matthew Lewis, Andrew Schiller, Steven Fox

Patent number: 9228743Abstract: The present subject matter provides a gas burner assembly for an appliance. The gas burner assembly includes a burner tube and a shutter slidably mounted to an end portion of the burner tube. The shutter defines a slot with an axially extending portion. A boss is mounted to the tubular burner and is received within the slot of the shutter. The boss is movable within the axially extending portion of the slot in order to permit the shutter to slide along an axial direction on the burner tube. Such features can facilitate access to an orifice of the gas burner assembly.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2013Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Paul Bryan Cadima, Bai Han, Gonzalo Luis Ocano
