BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a collapsible grill. More specifically, the present invention provides a collapsible grill that allows for the user to vertically adjust the positioning of the cooking surface.

Many individuals find themselves in situations where they must prepare a meal for themselves or other people in a place that lacks a kitchen. For example, campers, fishermen, hunters, hikers, beachgoers or other outdoor recreation enthusiasts, may be in a campsite, beach, trail, park or similar location where they do not have access to a stove, oven, grill or other cooking apparatus. Additionally, many of these individuals lack the ability to bring such apparatuses with them when they are engaging in outdoor recreational activities. Some cooking apparatuses are portable, such as by being smaller or by being disassembled, however, these apparatuses are typically either ineffective for properly preparing food or are difficult to set up. Difficulty setting up these apparatuses can impact the individual's overall experience and enjoyment of the recreational activities that they are engaged in. Additionally effective apparatuses take up space in storage, requiring individuals to apportion spaces in their homes or other structures for these devices. Therefore, there is a defined need amongst the known art for a device that is portable, easily assembled, and effective for cooking food in places where traditional food preparation devices are unavailable.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of stowable and movable grilling devices now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a collapsible grill wherein the same can be utilized for providing convenience for the user when cooking in a location that is not suitable for a traditional grilling device.

The present system comprises a base. The base is defined by a plurality of walls. An interior cavity is defined by the base, between the plurality of walls. The plurality of walls defines an external surface on each wall of the plurality of walls. A rod is disposed on the external surface of the base, extending upward therefrom. A platform is movably disposed upon the rod, above the base.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a crank, wherein the crank is configured to move the platform vertically up and down the rod. As such, the user may adjust the level of heat applied to the platform.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a cable in operable connection at a first end with the crank and at a second end with the platform. As such, the cable links the platform to the crank, such as to enhance use of the crank.

Yet a further embodiment of the present invention provides the cable being disposed upon a spool. As such, the cable is safely and effective stored when the collapsible grill is in a folded configuration.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the platform is affixed to the rod via an elevator, with or without a sliding tube. As such, the force of the stress exerted by the platform upon the rod is reduced.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a stop in operable connection with the elevator. As such the vertical position of the platform may be further supported.

In yet another embodiment, it is an object of the present invention to provide a rod that extends downward beyond a bottom surface of the base. As such, the collapsible grill may be staked into the ground to provide additional structural support to the device.

In a further embodiment, it is an object of the present invention to provide a latch disposed on a top end of the rod. As such, the platform can be folded upward and stored in a folded configuration via the latch.

In another embodiment, it is an object of the present invention to provide a pin latch system, wherein the pin latch system links the walls of the plurality of walls of the base. As such, the shape of the base is adjustable.

In a further embodiment, it is an object of the present invention to provide a handle disposed on an external surface of the base. As such, the handle can be utilized to move the collapsible grill.
