Patent attributes
A portable cooking apparatus comprises a heating assembly, and a support assembly for supporting the heating assembly. The support assembly comprises first and second legs. Each leg comprises an upper segment and a lower segment. The legs are pivotably coupled to each other generally between the upper and lower segments. The upper segment of each leg is pivotably coupled to the heating assembly. The upper segment of at least one leg is slidably coupled to the heating assembly and slides when the support assembly moves between upright and folded positions. In the folded position, the upper and lower segments of the first leg are adjacent to the lower and upper segments of the second leg, respectively. In at least one of the legs, the upper and lower segments are laterally offset from one another.
