  • Patent number: 4331123
    Abstract: An accessory table for a portable kettle type barbecue grill includes a table top surface with an inner edge contoured to match the arcuate shape of the kettle, the inner edge being mounted to the kettle in a spaced apart orientation by two pairs of clips which capture the lip of the grill by fitting over and under its rolled edge. A tubular strut supports the outer edge of the table surface by extending therefrom to the grill's axle. The strut is held in position on the axle by a retaining pin, and at the table surface by a swivel mount which permits it to be leveled by changing the swivel mount's position. A plastic tie wrap is used to strap a medial portion of the strut to the third support leg of the kettle grill. The accessory table may thereby be provided in kit form for installation on a kettle grill without detracting from its portability as it is supported entirely from the grill itself.
