Fire pit assembly

Abstract

An expandable fire pit assembly including a first and second planar member. The first planar member and the second planar member include an upper edge, a lower edge, a first end having a tab member, and a second end having a slot. The tab member of the first planar member engages the slot of the second planar member and the tab member of the second planar member engages the slot of the first planar member, thereby interlocking the first planar member and the second planar member together forming a ring. The fire pit assembly can also include a gas burner connected to one of the planar members and is attachable to a gas supply source.

1 . An expandable fire pit assembly comprising:
 a first planar member having an upper edge, a lower edge, a first end having a tab member, and a second end having a slot;   a second planar member having an upper edge, a lower edge, a first end having a tab member, and a second end having a slot; and   wherein the tab member of the first planar member engages the slot of the a second planar member and the tab member of the second planar member engages the slot of the first planar member, thereby interlocking the first planar member and the second planar member together.   
     
     
         2 . The expandable fire pit assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second planar members have a plurality of slots. 
     
     
         3 . The expandable fire pit assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second planar members have a plurality of apertures to provide airflow into the fire pit assembly. 
     
     
         4 . The expandable fire pit assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising a gas burner connected to the fire pit assembly and attachable to a gas supply source. 
     
     
         5 . The expandable fire pit assembly of  claim 4 , wherein the gas burner includes a telescoping tube member having a first end and a second end, the first end connected to the gas burner and the second end connected to one of the first planar member and the second planar member. 
     
     
         6 . The expandable fire pit assembly of  claim 5 , wherein one of the first planar member and the second planar member includes a keyhole for receiving the second end of the telescoping tubing member. 
     
     
         7 . The expandable fire pit assembly of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first planar member and the second planar member include decorative cutouts. 
     
     
         8 . The expandable fire pit assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the first planar member and the second planar member are flexible. 
     
     
         9 . An expandable fire pit assembly comprising:
 a plurality of planar members having an upper edge, a lower edge, a first end having a tab member, and a second end having a slot;   wherein the tab member of one planar member engages the slot of another planar member, thereby interlocking the plurality of planar members together; and   a gas burner connected to the fire pit assembly and attachable to a gas supply source.   
     
     
         10 . The expandable fire pit assembly of  claim 9 , wherein the planar members have a plurality of slots. 
     
     
         11 . The expandable fire pit assembly of  claim 9 , wherein the planar members have a plurality of apertures to provide airflow into the fire pit assembly. 
     
     
         12 . The expandable fire pit assembly of  claim 9 , wherein the gas burner includes a telescoping tube member having a first end and a second end, the first end connected to the gas burner and the second end connected to one of the planar members. 
     
     
         13 . The expandable fire pit assembly of  claim 12 , wherein at least one of the planar members includes a keyhole for receiving the second end of the telescoping tubing member. 
     
     
         14 . The expandable fire pit assembly of  claim 9 , wherein at least one of the planar members includes decorative cutouts. 
     
     
         15 . The expandable fire pit assembly of  claim 9 , wherein the tab member includes a lip portion that prevents the tab member from detaching from the slot.
