| Abstract: |
A device for supporting forks adapted to be mounted over a fondue pot which has an opened top end surrounded by a peripheral ledge. The device includes a substantially vertical rod, a set of at least three legs extending radially from the rod, adjacent the lower end of the rod. Each leg has a hooking member at the end remote from the rod, that is, adapted to sit over the ledge of the pot and to removably grip the peripheral ledge of the pot. A disk-shaped plate is perpendicularly mounted on the rod adjacent the upper end of the rod. The plate is provided with a plurality of bays around its peripheral edge. Each bay is adapted to receive a fork over the pot in a substantially vertical direction. The plate is located at a level so that the forks are adapted to partly penetrate inside the pot and into the liquid in the fondue pot. The legs are adjustable in length to adjust to various dimensions of pots and are set on a horizontal plane. The plate is provided with a peripheral rim exceeding over the surface of the plate to retain the forks over the plate.
