Abstract:

A portable cooking grill that is configured with a collapsible frame having telescoping legs and a pair of frame sections that extend outwardly to allow the user to adjust the height of the grilling surface and the size of the frame is disclosed. Each frame section has a pair of telescoping legs pivotally connected to the ends of side support rails which support a grill insert, having a pair of foldably connected grill sections, that forms the grilling surface. The legs include a securing mechanism suitable for securing the legs at the height desired by the user. The side support rails slidably engage grill supports located at the sides of the grill insert to extend the position of the legs outwardly. A locking mechanism locks the legs in either their upstanding or folded positions. A slidable connecting mechanism locks the legs in or between the retracted and extended positions.

Abstract:

A portable cooking grill is configured with a collapsible frame having a pair of frame sections extending outwardly and downwardly from a pair of foldably connected grill sections to allow the user to adjust the height of the grilling surface and the frame width. Each frame section has a pair of telescoping legs pivotally connected to the ends of side support rails. The side support rails have a downwardly facing U-shaped channel which receives one of the legs therein. For storage, the legs are telescopically collapsed and then folded into the channel, the support rails are received in a tubular section of the grill sections and the grill sections are folded together. The legs have a securing mechanism to secure the legs at the height desired by the user. A engagement mechanism secures the side support rails in the retracted or extended, or therebetween, position relative to the grill sections.

Abstract:

A drainage tray suitable for use with plant pots to collect and drain away excess plant treating fluids that drain from the plant pot. The drainage tray comprises a base member having a bottom and upwardly extending side walls that define a reservoir therein. A drainage orifice in the base member connects to a tubular member to drain the excess fluids from the reservoir to a site away from the potted plant. At least a section of the upwardly facing surface of the bottom is continuously sloped from a location opposite the orifice to the orifice inlet to facilitate complete drainage of the fluids from the reservoir. Support members and stabilizer members are provided to improve use of the drainage tray. The support tray prevents standing fluid that can breed mosquitos and spillage of fluids that can damage the deck, sidewalk or other support surface and/or cause persons to slip.
