Abstract
Abstract The roasting spit includes an elongated shaft of substantially square section, one end of the shaft is provided with a handle and the opposite end transversely secures a disk provided with transverse perforations adjacent the rim thereof. A round sleeve is slidable upon the square shaft, the sleeve provided with a handle for moving the sleeve, the opposite end of the sleeve being square sectioned and provided with a central disk of smaller diameter than the disk secured to the square shaft. A further sleeve is secured to the shaft handle and telescopically receives the round sleeve. Tines are secured to the small diameter disk and project through the perforations of the larger disk whereby the round sleeve handle is moved forwardly the tines flare beyond the larger disk, the tines being drawn inwardly of the larger disk when the sleeve handle is moved toward the shaft handle. Thus various food items such as wieners, may be impaled upon the tines whereby the food article may be roasted over a fire, the food articles being released from the tines when the sleeve is moved by its handle to retract the smaller diameter disk and to retract the tines.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A roasting spit comprising an elongated square cross sectioned shaft, a sleeve carried on said shaft for slide movement thereon, a first disk centrally secured to one end of the shaft, a second disk of smaller diameter than the first disk centrally secured to the sleeve, each disk provided with the same number of spaced apart perforations, and tines passed through the perforations of the first disk and rockably secured in the perforations of the second disk, movement of the sleeve in one direction causing the disks to approach to move the tines to a flared position beyond the first disk and movement of the sleeve in the opposite direction separating the disks and retracting the tines between the two disks.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
A roasting spit comprising an elongated square cross sectioned shaft, a sleeve carried on said shaft for slide movement thereon, a first disk centrally secured to one end of the shaft, a second disk of smaller diameter than the first disk centrally secured to the sleeve, each disk provided with the same number of spaced apart perforations, and tines passed through the perforations of the first disk and rockably secured in the perforations of the second disk, movement of the sleeve in one direction causing the disks to approach to move the tines to a flared position beyond the first disk and movement of the sleeve in the opposite direction separating the disks and retracting the tines between the two disks.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The device as set forth in claim 1, the square shaft provided at one end with a handle for manipulating the device.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
The device as set forth in claim 1, the round sleeve provided with a sleeve type handle for moving the sleeve and the second disk.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
45 words
The device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the square shaft is provided with an end handle and a sleeve extending beyond said end handle in axial alignment therewith for receiving the first sleeve in either a retracted position thereof or an extended position.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
132 words
A roasting spit, including: a square sectioned shaft, a fixed handle for one end of said shaft, a round sleeve carried on said shaft one end of said round sleeve having a square sectioned portion fitting upon the square sectioned shaft for preventing relative rotation therebetween, the outer end of said square sectioned shaft provided centrally with a disk having transverse perforations adjacent the rim thereof, a second disk of smaller diameter than the first mentioned disk carried by the round sleeve and tines rockably secured to the second disk and extending through the perforations of the first disk whereby movement of the second disk toward the first disk causes the tines to advance in a flare beyond the first disk and separation between said disks retracting the tines between said disks.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
132 words
A roasting spit, including: a square sectioned shaft, a fixed handle for one end of said shaft, a round sleeve carried on said shaft one end of said round sleeve having a square sectioned portion fitting upon the square sectioned shaft for preventing relative rotation therebetween, the outer end of said square sectioned shaft provided centrally with a disk having transverse perforations adjacent the rim thereof, a second disk of smaller diameter than the first mentioned disk carried by the round sleeve and tines rockably secured to the second disk and extending through the perforations of the first disk whereby movement of the second disk toward the first disk causes the tines to advance in a flare beyond the first disk and separation between said disks retracting the tines between said disks.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
28 words
The device as set forth in claim 5, and a sleeve type handle carried by the round sleeve for manipulating said sleeve when the first handle is held.
