  • Publication number: 20060272630
    Abstract: A portable cooking grill is configured with a collapsible frame having a pair of frame sections extending outwardly and downwardly from a pair of foldably connected grill sections to allow the user to adjust the height of the grilling surface and the frame width. Each frame section has a pair of telescoping legs pivotally connected to the ends of side support rails. The side support rails have a downwardly facing U-shaped channel which receives one of the legs therein. For storage, the legs are telescopically collapsed and then folded into the channel, the support rails are received in a tubular section of the grill sections and the grill sections are folded together. The legs have a securing mechanism to secure the legs at the height desired by the user. A engagement mechanism secures the side support rails in the retracted or extended, or therebetween, position relative to the grill sections.

  • Publication number: 20060102163
    Abstract: A portable cooking grill that is configured with a collapsible frame having telescoping legs and a pair of frame sections that extend outwardly to allow the user to adjust the height of the grilling surface and the size of the frame is disclosed. Each frame section has a pair of telescoping legs pivotally connected to the ends of side support rails which support a grill insert, having a pair of foldably connected grill sections, that forms the grilling surface. The legs include a securing mechanism suitable for securing the legs at the height desired by the user. The side support rails slidably engage grill supports located at the sides of the grill insert to extend the position of the legs outwardly. A locking mechanism locks the legs in either their upstanding or folded positions. A slidable connecting mechanism locks the legs in or between the retracted and extended positions.
