초록 ▼

A folding joint mechanism for stackably collapsing elongated structural sections includes a plurality of substantially identical brackets pivotably interconnected and rotatable between an extended and a stowed configuration. In the extended configuration, the brackets abut each other against stop protrusions on the top outside surface of each bracket forming foldable extensions that are able to support significant weight by distributing the top. side force. In the stowed configuration, the brackets are compacted to a substantially stacked disposition whereby the brackets are aligned and directly adjacent to one another. The joint and bracket assemblies may be employed in elongated sections of various structures in which compactability may be advantageous for shipping, storage, and user transportation.

1. A grill and support structure, comprising: first and second foldable support members each made up of a plurality of pivotably linked brackets each having a front end and a back end, said front end having a normally extending stop protrusion projecting from a side of said respective bracket and having a stop surface, said front end defining a front pivot point, said back end having an arcuate outer periphery and defining a back pivot point and at least a portion of a first edge surface, said first edge surface including an assembly notch thereon between said front and back end, said front end being joined to said back end of an adjacent bracket at said pivot points such that said brackets pivot relative to each other between a stowed position in which all of said brackets are adjacent to, each other in a parallel, aligned orientation, an extended position in which some of said brackets extend linearly relative to each other and said stop surface of one bracket engages said assembly notch of said first edge surface of an adjacent bracket proximate said back end thereof, and an angled position in which other of said brackets extend at an obtuse angle with respect to each other and said stop surface of one bracket engages said assembly notch of said first edge surface of an adjacent bracket proximate said back end thereof;said first foldable support member being configured such that some of brackets in a middle section thereof being in the extended position and two of the brackets proximate opposed end sections of the first foldable support member are in the angled position;said second foldable support member being configured such that some of brackets in a middle section thereof being in the extended position and two of the brackets proximate opposed end sections of the second foldable support member are in the angled position;said first and second support members intersecting one another in their respective middle section at complementary assembly notches to form a support structure with opposed terminal ends of each first and second support member engaging a support surface to position the brackets in the middle section above the support surface;a grate for use as a grill positioned on said first and second support members, at least one of said brackets further including corresponding grate notches for accommodating and supporting said grate. 2. The grill and support structure of claim 1 wherein two of said brackets in each of said middle sections of said first and second support members include said grate notches, said grate being secured in or accommodated by said grate notches. 3. The grill and support structure of claim 2 wherein each of said end sections of said support members extends obtusely from said middle sections of said support members to support said middle sections and said grate. 4. The grill and support structure of claim 2 wherein said intersecting support members define intersecting angles, said intersecting angles including a first angle in the range of 40-50°, and a second angle in the range of 130-140°. 5. The grill and support structure of claim 1 further including a fastener rotatably joining said pivot points. 6. The grill and support structure of claim 1 wherein said front end and said back end of each bracket have the same height. 7. The grill and support structure of claim 1 wherein said grate comprises a flexible mesh material. 8. A support structure, comprising: first and second foldable support members each made up of a plurality of pivotably linked brackets each having a front end and a back end, said front end having an extending stop protrusion projecting from said front end and having a stop surface, said front end defining a front pivot point, said back end having an arcuate outer periphery and defining a back pivot point and at least a portion of a first edge surface, said first edge surface including an assembly notch thereon between said front and back end, said front end being joined to said back end of an adjacent bracket at said pivot points such that said brackets pivot relative to each other between a stowed position in which all of said brackets are adjacent to each other in a parallel, aligned orientation, an extended position in which some of said brackets extend linearly relative to each other and said stop surface of one bracket engages said assembly notch of said first edge surface of an adjacent bracket proximate said back end thereof, and an angled position in which other of said brackets extend at an obtuse angle with respect to each other and said stop surface of one bracket engages said assembly notch of said first edge surface of an adjacent bracket proximate said back end thereof;said first foldable support member being configured such that some of brackets in a middle section thereof being in the extended position and two of the brackets proximate opposed end sections of the first foldable support member are in the angled position;said second foldable support member being configured such that some of brackets in a middle section thereof being in the extended position and two of the brackets proximate opposed end sections of the second foldable support member are in the angled position;said first and second support members intersecting one another in their respective middle section at complementary assembly notches to form a support structure with opposed terminal ends of each first and second support member engaging a support surface to position the brackets in the middle section above the support surface;a generally flat support surface positioned on said first and second support members, at least one of said brackets further including corresponding grate notches for accommodating and supporting said support surface. 9. The support structure of claim 8 wherein the generally flat support surface is grate for being used as a grill. 10. The support structure of claim 9 wherein two of said brackets in each of said middle sections of said first and second support members include said grate notches, said grate being secured in or accommodated by said grate notches. 11. The support structure of claim 9 wherein each of said end sections of said support members extends obtusely from said middle sections of said support members to support said middle sections and said grate. 12. The support structure of claim 8 wherein said intersecting support members define intersecting angles, said intersecting angles including a first angle in the range of 40-50°, and a second angle in the range of 130-140°. 13. The support structure of claim 8 further including a fastener rotatably joining said pivot points. 14. The support structure of claim 8 wherein said front end and said back end of each bracket have the same height. 15. The support structure of claim 9 wherein said grate comprises a flexible mesh material.
