Pre-assembled gas barbeque grill

摘要

A gas barbeque grill is constructed in a pre-assembled condition and positioned in a shipping carton. A liquid propane (LP) tank is also positioned in the shipping carton at one end. Following purchase, the tank is removed from the shipping carton, without removing the grill, for filling prior to arrival at the user's home. The pre-assembled grill is thereafter removed from the shipping carton for set-up at the user's home including attachment of the filled tank to the grill for immediate operation of the grill, after set-up of same. The grill is removed from the shipping carton by placing spaced leg supports for the grill on a supporting surface and lifting the shipping carton up and away from the grill. Leg supports preferably constitute four spaced leg supports arranged in a rectangular pattern for supporting the grill. The grill is pivotally mounted proximate an upper end of two spaced leg supports along one side of and within the rectangular pattern of four spaced leg supports. This enables the grill to be suspended from the two spaced leg supports in a lower pivot position between the four leg supports during shipping. During set-up at the user's home, the grill is pivoted to an upper horizontal position and secured to the two other leg supports also proximate an upper end thereof in general horizontal alignment with the pivotal mounting on the other leg supports. The grill is thus maintained in a stable and secure horizontal position during operation and use.
