Abstract: A compact portable grill has upper and lower sections of a base, a grill body and a cover which may also be used as a cooking pot or wok. The cover, grill body, upper section and lower section, are all of equal height. When the cover and upper section are inverted, the grill body fits within the cover, the upper section of the base fits within the grill body and the lower section of the base fits within the upper section of the base in a compact, tight arrangement suitable for shipping or transporting in a short cardboard box. The lower section of the base and a lower portion of the grill body may hold a grate for roasting or grilling. In the former configuration, fuel is added through a sliding door in the upper section of the base. Paper is added and lighted through a door in a lower section of the base to start the briquets. Aligned openings in telescopic joints are held together by eye-bolts.

Abstract: A magnetic catch holds a door in the open position. A cup-shaped metal element is supported for universal rotary motion in a plastic housing mounted on the door. A flat end of the element projects through an open end of the housing and contacts the exposed edge of a rectangular permanent magnet when the door is opened. The magnet is sandwiched between steel plates supported in the rectangular cavity of a plastic housing which is mounted on the floor or wall adjacent the door. A foam cushion resiliently biases the metal element away from the door. The magnet housing is supported on a hollow pedestal extending from a base. Mounting screws are stored inside the pedestal. Threaded plates screwed to the door and wall or floor mesh with threaded open ends of the metal element housing and the pedestal base respectively.
