Publication number: 20240358192Abstract: A storage caddy has spaced side walls that define aligned slots that receive different fire pit accessories such as a cover, one or more grills, a heat deflector, and griddles. The slots are angled rearwardly from vertical so the accessories tip rearwardly. The side walls are taller at the rear of the caddy providing both deeper slots for larger accessories and to provide access to the stored accessories. Additional accessory storage is provided through aligned openings in spaced flanges that project rearwardly from the front wall of the storage caddy.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2024Publication date: October 31, 2024Inventor: Christopher Boehmer

Publication number: 20240358193Abstract: A cooking utensil mounts to a fire pit flange. The cooking utensil has a grill-type or griddle-type body that is cantilevered over the fire box of the fire pit. Food can be cooked directly on the utensil body, or a cooking pot or cooking pan can be supported on the body. The cooking utensil has at least one downwardly-projecting arm that defines at least a portion of a mounting slot that receives a portion of the upper flange of the fire pit to mount the cooking utensil. In one configuration, the arm defines a second slot that mounts the cooking utensil in an arrangement where the cooking surface is tilted downwardly to drain material from the cooking surface into the fire of the fire pit.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2024Publication date: October 31, 2024Inventors: Christopher Boehmer, Amos Alan Allgyer

Publication number: 20240358195Abstract: A cutting device configured to couple to an extruder outlet is described herein. The cutting device includes a blade operatively coupled to a biasing member, a motor, and a charging chamber. The charging chamber has a charging member and a release feature. The charging member is arranged to be rotated by the motor. The motor drives forward movement of the charging member within the charging chamber until the release feature reaches a release point within the charging chamber. At the release point the biasing member is mechanically released to drive movement of the blade. The blade is arranged to move in at least a first direction in response to the mechanical release of the biasing member.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2023Publication date: October 31, 2024Applicant: SharkNinja Operating LLCInventors: Nathan Lyell, Jonathan James, Harry Page
