Patent ID: 8607777

Claim:
An outdoor grill comprising: a grill having a grill frame that defines a side of said grill; a worktable having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein said proximal end is pivotally carried by said side of said grill frame; an upper support leg having an upper end that is pivotally connected to said worktable and having a channel extending between said upper end and a lower end of said upper support leg; a lower support leg having an upper end that is pivotally connected to said upper support leg so that when said worktable is placed in an erect position said channel receives a portion of said lower support leg, wherein said lower support leg also has a lower end that is pivotally carried by said side of said grill frame; a securing pin slot that is disposed in said lower leg and has a lip adapted to engage a securing pin that is slideably carried by said upper support leg so that said lip guides said securing pin into said securing pin slot when said worktable is placed in said erect position, wherein said securing pin slot is adapted to receive said securing pin thereby securing said upper support leg and said lower support leg in an aligned position while said worktable is in said erect position; a release handle that is slideably disposed on said worktable and connected to said securing pin so that when said release handle is moved towards said distal end of said worktable, said securing pin is moved towards said upper end of said upper support leg thereby allowing said securing pin to be removed from said securing pin slot and said worktable to be placed in a collapsed position; and whereby said worktable is placed in said erect position when said distal end of said worktable is rotated away from said side of said grill and said securing pin is placed in said securing pin slot and said worktable is placed in said collapsed position when said release handle is moved towards said distal end of said worktable thereby causing said securing pin to be removed from said securing pin slot and said distal end of said worktable is rotated towards said side of said grill.
