Disposable grill cover

Claim 2

A disposable cover for a barbecue or broiling grill formed of transversely spaced usually round wires extending across a space enclosed by a wire rim and joined to said rim, said cover comprising: a. a sheet of thin-gauge sheet material provided with a channellike rim portion having parallel sides adapted to cover the grill rim and channel portions adapted to loosely cover the wires that extend across the space within the grill rim, b. the channellike rim portion being comprised of an outer circumferential skirt and an inner circumferential skirt that is formed of short sections that extend between adjacent transversely spaced wires, whereby the ends of the transversely spaced grill wire, where the same join the grill rim, are adapted to pass through the spaces between said short skirt sections, c. the top of the channellike rim portion and of the wirecovering channel portions being coplanar, and d. at least some of said channel portions having their sides, in part, inwardly formed to provide constrictions smaller than the diametral size of the grill wires.

Claim 3

A disposable grill cover according to claim 1 in which the sheet material is of finger-bendable thickness and is provided with a grill-covering central transverse portion, the channel portions that loosely cover the grill wires extending from the opposite edges of said central sheet portion to the channellike rim portion, tabs sheared from the sheet and bent downwardly therefrom being adapted for position-retaining frictional engagement with wires of the grill, and the sheared tabs being provided in said central sheet portion.

Claim 4

A grill cover according to claim 2 in which the grill has transverse centrally disposed wires intersecting the transversely spaced wires, the mentioned tabs having position-retaining friction engagement with said centrally disposed wires.

Claim 5

A grill cover as defined in claim 2, in which elongated air-passing spaces are provided between the channel cover portions for the entire respective lengths of said channel portions, and a plurality of air-passing openings are formed in the central transverse portion of the sheet, said spaces and openings combining to provide for barbecuing or broiling heat from below the grill reaching items of food disposed both on the wire cover portions and the central transverse portion of the sheet to efficiently barbecue or broil said items substantially uniformly.

Claim 6

A grill cover as defined in claim 4, in which each wire-covering channel portion has a transversely rounded wire-engaging and drippings-shedding form.

Claim 7

A disposable cover for a barbecue or broiling grill formed of transversly-spaced round wires extending across a space enclosed by a wire circular rim and joined to said rim, said cover comprising: A. a channellike circular rim portion of thin gauge sheet material, said rim portion having depending parallel sides and a rounded top portion to conform to said round wire rim; B. a plurality of parallel channellike cover portions having rounded top portions for resting upon said wires and parallel depending side extensions extending below said wires, said rim portions being intersected by one end of said channellike cover portions; C. a flat central portion extending transversely to the channellike cover portions, said flat central portion being intersected by one end of said channellike portions, and having elongated air-passing spaces positioned along the length of said central portion; D. a multiplicity of constrictions smaller than the diametral size of the grill wires, inwardly formed on at least some of said depending sides of said channel portions; and E. tabs sheared from said central portion and bent downwardly therefrom in position for retaining frictional engagement with the centrally disposed wires of said grill.

Claim 8

A disposable cover for a barbecue or broiling grill formed of transversly-spaced round wires extending across a space enclosed by a wire circular rim and joined to said rim, said cover comprising: A. a channellike circular rim portion of thin gauge sheet material, said rim portion having depending parallel sides and a rounded top portion to conform to said round wire rim; B. a plurality of parallel channellike cover portions having rounded top portions for resting upon said wires and parallel depending side extensions extending below said wires, said rim portions being intersected by one end of said channellike cover portions; C. a flat central portion extending transversely to the channellike cover portions, said flat central portion being intersected by one end of said channellike portions, and having elongated air-passing spaces positioned along the length of said central portion; D. a multiplicity of constrictions smaller than the diametral size of the grill wires, inwardly formed on at least some of said depending sides of said channel portions; and E. tabs sheared from said central portion and bent downwardly therefrom in position for retaining frictional engagement with the centrally disposed wires of said grill.
