DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In describing the preferred embodiments of the subject invention illustrated in the drawings, specific terminology will be used for the sake of clarity.
However, the invention is not intended to be limited to the specific terms so selected, and each specific term includes all technical equivalents which operate in a similar manner to accomplish a similar purpose.
Referring generally to the preferred embodiment illustrated in FIGS.
1 through 8, and referring specifically to FIG.
1, there is shown a combined broiler top and griddle unit 10 according to the invention.
Unit 10 comprises a broiler top 12, a generally horizontal, rectangular griddle assembly 14 and a plurality of elongated vertical legs 18.
In the preferred embodiment, four legs of square cross-section secured to the underside of housing 20 are used, but other conventional support arrangements are contemplated.
Griddle assembly 14 comprises a griddle housing 20 and a griddle 22 mounted in housing 20.
Griddle 22 includes a substantially planar metallic griddle surface 24.
Griddle surface 24 preferably is constructed of one-inch-thick steel plate.
In a preferred embodiment, griddle surface 24 is substantially rectangular in shape, but griddle surface 24 can also be square.
Referring to FIG.
8, in another embodiment griddle 22 is substantially longer from side to side than broiler top 12.
This difference in dimension provides a griddle surface 24 which is not covered by broiler top 12 when top 12 is closed, such that griddle surface 24 can be used for griddle cooking when top 12 is closed.
Referring specifically to FIGS.
1, 3 and 4, housing 20 comprises vertical left and right side curtains 30 and 32, and vertical front and rear end curtains 34 and 36, respectively.
Side curtains 30 and 32 further shield and protect internal components within housing 20 from damage and human contact.
As shown in FIG.
2, two support stanchions 40 are secured to the ends of curtain 36 and are secured by any conventional fastening means such as bolts
