Outdoor modular kitchen assembled from flat-packed components

Abstract

An outdoor kitchen modular assembly includes a plurality of kitchen modules formed from a plurality of components which can be flat-packed. The components include a generally planar pan serving as a base with structural components supporting the planar pan. The structural components include means to interconnect the module to an adjacent module.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An outdoor kitchen modular assembly including:
 a plurality of kitchen modules being interconnectable, said assembly including:
 each said module being formed of a plurality of components capable of being flat-packed having: 
 a generally planar pan serving as a base; 
 structural components supporting the planar pan; 
 wherein the structural components include means to interconnect said module to an adjacent module. 
   
     
     
         2 . An outdoor kitchen modular assembly of  claim 1  further including:
 a pair of generally planar members forming an upper pan and a spaced apart lower pan; 
 four elongate corner posts forming the structural components each extending from the upper pan to the lower pan; 
 each corner of the upper pan and the lower pan including a bendable tab and each post including tab receiving slots for receiving said bendable tabs to secure the posts to the pans; 
 two posts of one of said modules being interconnected to two posts of another said module of said plurality to place said modules in a side-by-side adjacent array; and 
 a plurality of generally planar side pans; one said side pan being attached to said post of said modules not interconnected to said adjacent modules. 
 
     
     
         3 . An outdoor kitchen modular assembly of  claim 2  further including said posts of one module having said tab receiving slots at opposite ends of said post and wherein said upper pan forms a top pan and said lower surface forms a bottom pan. 
     
     
         4 . An outdoor kitchen modular assembly of  claim 2  further including said posts, one module having side tab receiving slots at an intermediate location along the length of said posts and to support a platform. 
     
     
         5 . An outdoor modular kitchen assembly of  claim 2  wherein the corner posts serve as support legs for each said module. 
     
     
         6 . An outdoor modular kitchen of  claim 2  wherein said plurality of components fit on a standard shipping pallet. 
     
     
         7 . An outdoor modular kitchen of  claim 1  further including side pans forming the structural components. 
     
     
         8 . A grill base assembly for use with an outdoor modular kitchen assembly comprising:
 a first grill base portion forming one half of the grill base assembly and a second grill base portion forming the other half of the grill base assembly, each grill base half portion including components which can be flat-packed on a standard pallet;   each grill base half portion being assembled from said flat-packed components;   the assembled grill base half portions being interconnected to form said grill base assembly for insertable accommodation of a grill.
