As the bullet tip 214 moves upward through the O-ring cylinder 212 , the O-ring 216 moves along with it, blocking any oil from entering the O-ring cylinder 212 and the spring chamber 204 . The bullet 206 moves upward as well, pushing against the spring 202 .
  • the spring 202 is able to exert sufficient force upon the bullet 206 to cause the bullet tip 214 to move downward through the O-ring cylinder 212 , outside of the holder surface 218 , and lock into the applicator surface 108 .
  • FIGS. 3A-3C disclose another embodiment of a grill oiler 300 .
  • a handle 302 is attached to an applicator body 304 .
  • An applicator surface 306 may be attached to the applicator body 304 through the use of a variety of attaching means such as a retaining clip frame 308 with retaining clips 310 .
  • the retaining clip frame 308 supports applicator surface 306 against the applicator body 304 and is held in place by retaining clips 310 clipping onto the applicator body 304 .
  • Other means may be used to releasably attach handle 302 and applicator body 304 to applicator surface 306 , including but not limited to locking bullet means and opposing magnets.
  • Oil may be applied to the applicator surface 306 by placing the applicator surface 306 into an oil source such as an oil reservoir container 312 containing oil.
  • FIG. 4 discloses an oil reservoir spring system 400 that can be used in the oil reservoir container 312 of FIGS. 3A-3C .
  • the spring system comprises reservoir springs 402 located at the bottom of the oil reservoir container 312 .
  • the reservoir springs 402 are attached to the bottom of spring platforms 404 .
  • An applicator platform 406 having applicator platform apertures 408 is located on top of the spring platforms 404 .
  • the applicator surface 306 may push against the applicator platform 406 , which in turn pushes down on the spring platforms 404 , causing the reservoir springs to compress.
  • the applicator platform 406 and the applicator surface 306 may be lowered into oil located at the bottom of the oil reservoir container 312 , causing oil to be applied to the applicator surface 306 through the applicator platform apertures 408 .
  • FIGS. 5A-5C disclose another embodiment of grill oiler 500 .
  • An applicator surface 501 is attached to the bottom of an oil manifold 504 .
  • the applicator surface 501 may be releasably attached to the oil manifold 504 by a variety of attaching means comprising, but not limited to, locking bullets, retaining clips, and opposing magnets.
  • An oil applicator release switch 502 may be used to detach applicator surface 501 from the oil manifold 504 .
  • a liquid chamber 505 and an oil chamber 519 are connected to the top of the oil manifold 504 .
  • the liquid chamber 505 may contain a liquid, such as water, that can be released out of a cooler water jet 503 connected to the liquid chamber 505 .
  • the liquid is placed in an upper water chamber 509 by removing a water reservoir cap 508 and pouring in the liquid.
  • the liquid may then pass through an upper chamber down port 512 , contained in a mid-chamber handle structure 515 , into the liquid chamber 505 and eventually out of the cooler water jet 503 .
  • the release of the liquid from the cooler water jet 503 may be controlled by a water trigger 513 .
  • a liquid level indicator 506 indicates how much liquid is present in the liquid chamber 505 .
  • the oil chamber 519 may contain oil that can be transferred through the oil manifold 504 to the applicator surface 501 .
  • the oil is placed in an upper oil chamber 521 by removing an oil reservoir cap 522 and pouring in the oil.
  • the oil may then pass through an upper chamber down port 512 , contained in a mid-chamber handle structure 515 , into the oil chamber 519 .
  • the oil is eventually transferred through the oil manifold 504 to the applicator surface 501 .
  • the transfer of oil to the applicator surface 501 may be controlled by an oil release trigger 514 .
  • An oil level indicator 507 indicates how much liquid is present in the oil chamber 519 .
  • the present invention may also comprise a light housing 517 containing a light source 518 for improving visibility.
  • a heat sensor unit 516 may be attached to the grill oiler 500 .
  • the heat sensor unit 516 may be connected to a heat sensor chamber/display 511 and a temperature display 520 to indicate heat level.

  • FIGS. 6A-6D disclose an alternative embodiment of grill oiler 600 .
  • a handle 604 is attached to an oil applicator port 610 .
  • An applicator surface 609 may be releasably attached to the oil applicator port 610 by a variety of attaching means such as applicator retaining clips 601 .
  • Other means that may be used to releasably attach the applicator surface 609 to the oil applicator port 610 include but are not limited to locking bullet means and opposing magnets.
  • the handle 604 comprises an oil chamber 606 , water chamber 607 , and an oil and water chamber cap 608 located at the end of the handle 604 and covering the oil chamber 606 and the water chamber 607 .
  • Oil may be placed in the oil chamber 606 by removing the oil and water chamber cap 608 and pouring the oil into the oil chamber 606 .
  • a pressure release valve (oil regulator) 603 connects the oil chamber 606 and the oil applicator port 610 .
  • Oil may be transferred to the applicator surface 609 by using the handle 604 to press the applicator surface 609 against a surface, such as a grill, causing the oil regulator 603 to release oil from the oil chamber 606 into the oil applicator port 610 .
  • the oil is then transferred from the oil applicator port 610 to the applicator surface 609 , and may then be applied to a grill.
