Abstract

A rotatable broiling driver includes a positioning plate, an accommodating member, a transmitting member, a motor, a battery base, and an outer cover. The accommodating member is provided with a changeover switch. The transmitting member has one end formed with an insert groove for a spit to be inserted therein and the other end receiving the spindle of the motor. The battery base has an electric wire respectively connected with the motor and the changeover switch. In using, after the broiling driver is assembled with a broiler and the spit inserted in the transmitting member, press the change-over switch to an ON position to start the motor to let its spindle drive the transmitting member rotate together with the spit to carry out broiling, having a small size to be carried about conveniently and applicable to any site.

Claims
