  • Patent number: 11812893
    Abstract: A system for storing a grill generally may include the grill and a corresponding base. The grill may have a grill body defining a cavity, and at least two legs extending from the grill body. The legs may be movable between an extended state and a collapsed state. The base may have a frame assembly selectively attachable to the grill body. When the frame assembly and grill body are attached to each other, the grill may be movable between a usable position to a storable position. A footprint of the grill may be smaller in the storable position than in the usable position.

  • Publication number: 20220287507
    Abstract: A foldable lid for a grill may include a top wall, a front wall, a rear wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall. The front wall may be pivotably coupled to the top wall. The rear wall may be spaced apart from the front wall. The rear wall may be pivotably coupled to the top wall. The first side wall may be pivotably coupled to the rear wall. The second side wall may be spaced apart from the first side wall. The second side wall may be pivotably coupled to the rear wall. The foldable lid may be configured to be in a first configuration or a second configuration.

  • Publication number: 20220007887
    Abstract: A storable grill may have a grill body and a grill top having a flat surface, the grill top being configured to attach to and/or sit on the grill body. The grill body may include two opposing points at which the grill body may be attachable to a base and about which the grill body may be rotatable between a usable position and a storable position, the opposing points being offset from a center of the grill body. A footprint of the grill may be smaller in the storable position than in the usable position.

  • Patent number: 10184511
    Abstract: An assembly includes a spherical bearing race and a spherical bearing element. The bearing race includes a race first segment, a race second segment and a bore that extends along an axis into the bearing race. The bore also extends radially within the bearing race between the first segment and the second segment. The bearing element is arranged within the bore, and radially engages the first segment and the second segment.

  • Publication number: 20070163227
    Abstract: Thrust variability in a nozzle is achieved by constructing the nozzle in two parts, one of which is rotatable relative to the other. The nozzle includes a convergent section, a throat, and a divergent section, all of which are formed in the annular region between a centerbody and a shell. The rotation produces a variation in the cross-sectional area of the nozzle by bringing apertures in the two parts into and out of alignment and thereby partially or fully opening and closing the flow passage through the convergent section, throat, and divergent section.
