Hood hinge assembly for outdoor cooking device

摘要

A hinge assembly for the hood of an outdoor cooking device provides for the pivoting adjustment of the hood from a closed to an open position. The hinge assembly includes two separable leaf members facilitating the removal of said hood from said cooking device. One leaf is movable and is affixed to the back of the hood. The other is affixed to the back wall of the cooking device and includes an open slot means having a continuous edge formed with three pocket portions for the pivotal cooperation with two pivot pins associating with the movable hinge leaf. The movable hinge leaf has two parallel plates which are spaced apart at a sufficient distance to straddle the fixed hinge leaf in close tolerance. The hinge assembly is capable of holding said hood open with the center of gravity at an inclination to vertical, whereby said pivot pins are sequentially pivotable in two of said pocket portions during movement between the open and closed position.
