  • Patent number: 8562044
    Abstract: A simple tool for lifting a barbecue grill is described—the grill lifter tool has a handle near its top end and a downwardly depending rod from near its center. The downwardly depending rod terminates near its bottom at a horizontal rod. The horizontal rod is thin enough to fit down between and below the space between adjacent grill bars. Near the top of the downwardly depending rod there is a first washer around and welded to the rod. Near the bottom of the downwardly depending rod, there is a second washer movably resting on the top of the horizontal rod, and held in place by a partially compressed spring constrained between the first top washer and the second bottom washer. The second bottom washer is large enough to not fit down into the space between the grill bars.
