The bowls are movable between a closure position where the bowls overlie one another, a generally right angular use position where the second bowl is disposed substantially normal to the first bowl, and a generally horizontal use position where the first bowl and second bowl are fully opened. Novel leg bail structure is provided that offers three-legged support to both bowls when the bowls are in the horizontal use position, and that offers a support base substantially wider than the width of the first bowl when the second bowl is in the generally right angular use position relative to the first bowl. Further, the portable grill device includes novel latch structure which retains the two bowls in the generally right angular position, that latch structure cooperating with spit holder arms for restraining those spit holder arms in an elevated position over the first bowl.Field of SearchOpposed heated mold or surface type (e.g., waffle iron)Intercontrol or safety control Plural units Detachable or convertible surface Movably supported surfaces Movably connected mold sections Opposed heater type Movably or adjustably supported carrier or grid Foraminous support Diverse cooker types Convertible Adjustable separation Confining, conforming or molding support Movably mounted Subjacent receptacle or director With heat distributor | |
