Abstract

A rotisserie comprises an oven having a space for receiving objects used for broiling, two brackets each including at least one pair of parallel elongate openings, at least one longitudinal groove coupled the elongate openings of each pair together, at least one fastener driven through openings to secure bracket to the front or the rear side of oven, and a recess disposed at one end thereof, a motor having at least one fastening member put on one bracket, a telescopic bar with one end inserted into motor and the other end rotatably supported on the recess, and two opposite forks on the bar. The distance between a broiled thing and the fire in oven, i.e., the height of brackets and bar, may be adjusted by adjusting the positions of fasteners in openings.

Claims

1. A rotisserie comprising:

an oven having a space therein;

two brackets each including at least one pair of parallel elongate openings, at least one longitudinal groove coupled with said elongate openings of each pair together, and a recess on one end thereof;

at least one fastener driven through said openings to secure said brackets to opposite sides of said oven respectively,

a motor having at least one fastening member on one side facing said oven mounted on one of said brackets; and

a bar having one end inserted into said motor and said other end rotatably supported on said recess of one of said brackets.

2. The rotisserie of claim 1, wherein said bracket further comprises a vertical lower first plate member with said parallel elongate openings and said longitudinal groove formed thereon, a vertical upper second plate member with said recess formed thereon, and a horizontal connection member coupled between said first and said second plate members.

3. The rotisserie of claim 1, wherein said bar comprises a plurality of sections threadedly secured together so that said length of said bar is adjustable for being adapted to that of said oven.

4. The rotisserie of claim 2, wherein said fastening members are put on said sides of said second plate member supported by said joint of said connection member and said second plate member.

5. The rotisserie of claim 3, further comprising two opposite forks on said bar wherein said prongs of said forks are parallel with respect to said bar, said forks are slidable and threadedly secured to said bar by second fasteners when a predetermined distance between said forks is adjusted.
