Waste collector for barbecue grill

Abstract

A barbecue grill includes a grill body, and a waste collector. The waste collector includes a support member, and a regulating member. The support member has two side walls each formed with a plurality of elongated ventilating holes each connected to the through hole of the grill body. The regulating member has two side walls each movably mounted in a respective side wall of the support member and each formed with a plurality of elongated ventilating holes each connected to a respective one of the ventilating holes of the support member. Thus, the waste collector can regulate the ventilating effect of the grill body, thereby enhancing the cooking efficiency of the barbecue grill.

1 . A barbecue grill, comprising: 
 a grill body having a bottom face formed with a through hole;    a waste collector mounted on the bottom face of the grill body and facing the through hole of the grill body; wherein    the waste collector includes a support member mounted on the bottom face of the grill body and facing the through hole of the grill body, and a regulating member movably mounted on the support member;    the support member has two side walls each formed with a plurality of elongated ventilating holes each connected to the through hole of the grill body;    the regulating member has two side walls each movably mounted in a respective one of the two side walls of the support member and each formed with a plurality of elongated ventilating holes each connected to a respective one of the ventilating holes of the support member.    
   
   
       2 . The barbecue grill in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the regulating member is movable relative to the support member between a first position where each of the ventilating holes of the regulating member is aligned with a respective one of the ventilating holes of the support member to provide the maximum ventilating effect, a second position where each of the ventilating holes of the regulating member is partially aligned with a respective one of the ventilating holes of the support member to regulate the ventilating effect, and a third position where each of the ventilating holes of the regulating member is separated from a respective one of the ventilating holes of the support member to form an air seal effect.  
   
   
       3 . The barbecue grill in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the bottom face of the grill body is provided with two opposite substantially L-shaped guide tracks, and the support member of the waste collector is slidably mounted between the guide tracks of the grill body.  
   
   
       4 . The barbecue grill in accordance with  claim 3 , wherein each of the two side walls of the support member has a top edge formed with an outward extended slide plate slidably mounted in a respective one of the guide tracks of the grill body.  
   
   
       5 . The barbecue grill in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the support member is substantially basin-shaped.  
   
   
       6 . The barbecue grill in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein each of the two side walls of the support member has an end face formed with a guide groove, and each of the two side walls of the regulating member is slidably mounted in the guide groove of a respective one of the two side walls of the support member.  
   
   
       7 . The barbecue grill in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein each of the two side walls of the support member has two ends each formed with an elongated slide slot, and each of the two side walls of the regulating member has two ends each formed with a through hole for mounting a bolt which is slidably mounted in the respective slide slot of the support member to lock the regulating member on the support member and to allow the regulating member to slide relative to the support member.  
   
   
       8 . The barbecue grill in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the regulating member is substantially U-shaped.  
   
   
       9 . The barbecue grill in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein each of the two side walls of the regulating member has a top edge and a bottom edge each formed with an inward extended rib to reinforce the strength of the regulating member and to provide a limit effect to the support member.  
   
   
       10 . The barbecue grill in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the regulating member has an end face provided with a handgrip.  
   
   
       11 . The barbecue grill in accordance with  claim 10 , wherein the handgrip is mounted on the regulating member by a plurality of locking screws.  
   
   
       12 . The barbecue grill in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein when the regulating member is pushed inward relative to the support member, each of the ventilating holes of the regulating member is aligned with a respective one of the ventilating holes of the support member completely to provide the maximum ventilating effect to the through hole of the grill body.  
   
   
       13 . The barbecue grill in accordance with  claim 12 , wherein when the regulating member is pulled outward slightly relative to the support member, each of the ventilating holes of the regulating member is partially aligned with a respective one of the ventilating holes of the support member to reduce the ventilating effect supplied to the through hole of the grill body.  
   
   
       14 . The barbecue grill in accordance with  claim 13 , wherein when the regulating member is fully pulled outward relative to the support member, each of the ventilating holes of the regulating member is separated from a respective one of the ventilating holes of the support member to form an air seal effect.
