Abstract

A versatile grill apparatus capable of adapting its shape to accommodate different cooking methods. Conventional grills are often limited to specific heating configurations that heat the food from certain directions, necessitating multiple apparatus for diverse cooking techniques. This innovation addresses this limitation by offering electrical or gas grills with adjustable heating sections that can be repositioned to emit heat from different directions.The grill features interconnected heating sections that can rotate independently to change the cooking configuration. In a gas grill, a flexible fuel delivery system, incorporating swivel joints, quick-release couplings, or similar mechanisms, ensures continuous fuel supply regardless of the heating section's position. This design provides enhanced flexibility and efficiency in food preparation, allowing users to achieve optimal cooking results with a single grill.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
We claim: 
     
         1 . A device comprising:
 multiple rectangular cube shapes comprising heating devices hinged to each other side-by-side, able to rotate against each other to present and maintain different configurations and arrangements; herein we call them heating sections;   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , comprising gas fueled heaters; and
 a tubular body, defining a path for fuel to travel from fuel source to each and every burner of heating sections; herein we call the tubular shape fuel header;   fuel header is equipped with shape-changing joints that enables it to follow the heating sections when they are rotated;   
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein fuel header has swivel joints that change direction of fuel header, whenever heating sections rotate. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein fuel header has flexible hose that change shape whenever heating sections rotate. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 2  where fuel header has quick release couplings that allow the two sides of the coupling rotate against each other so fuel header changes shape whenever heating sections rotate. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 5  further comprising disconnect mechanism for each quick release coupling, in order to disengage couplings before rotation and reengage after rotation is complete. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 5  further comprising shut-off valve to stop gas flow for each quick release coupling, in order to turn off the gas before rotation and resume gas flow after rotation is complete. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , comprising electric heaters; and
 flexible wires, capable to change shape along with heating sections whenever they rotate.
