Shish kebab rotisserie
First Claim
1. A shish kebab rotisserie comprising:
- a frame having a base and an opposing top, and having a support member connected between the base and the top to support the top relative to the base;
a number of skewer rotors connected with the base, each skewer rotor having an axis and being rotatable about its axis;
a drive operatively connected with the skewer rotors to rotate each skewer rotor about its axis;
a heat source connected with the base and spaced a distance from the skewer rotors; and
a skewer extending generally perpendicularly from the base to the top, the skewer being supported at the base by a skewer rotor and being supported by the top, the skewer being releasably coupled with the skewer rotor to rotate with the skewer rotor.

Abstract
A shish kebab rotisserie includes a frame having a base and an opposing top; a support member connected between the base and the top to support the top relative to the base; a number of skewer rotors connected with the base, each skewer rotor having an axis and being rotatable about its axis; a drive operatively connected with the skewer rotors to rotate each skewer rotor about its axis; a heat source connected with the base and spaced a distance from the skewer rotors; and a skewer extending generally perpendicularly from the base to the top, the skewer being supported at the base by a skewer rotor and being supported by the top, the skewer being releasably coupled with the skewer rotor to rotate with the skewer rotor. The skewer may extend beyond the top to a handle portion of the skewer. A skewer shaft extends from the handle portion toward the skewer rotor. The shaft has a generally cylindrical portion adjacent the handle portion, and has a generally flat portion adjacent the cylindrical portion and opposite the handle portion. The skewer may further include a clamp adjacent the flat portion and opposite the cylindrical portion, so that portion of the skewer shaft from the clamp to the skewer rotor may be a skewer stick that is clamped in the clamp. The top has a perimeter edge with a slot extending inward from the perimeter edge and at least one skewer support hole along the slot. Thus, the skewer shaft flat portion slides through the slot and the skewer shaft cylindrical portion rotatably seats in the hole. An adjustment mechanism may be connected between the heat source and the skewer rotors to adjust the distance between the heat source and the skewer rotors. The base may include a drive housing and a shell housing, wherein the drive housing and the shell housing are rotatably connected.
