Abstract

A supporting brace is employed to pivotally mount a fryer lifting lid on a monorail lifting device. The supporting brace includes a central bracing member having a first and a second member face and having a first and a second member end. A monorail mounting bracket is positioned on the second member face. A first pivot arm extends substantially perpendicular to the first member face at the first member end, and a second pivot arm extends substantially perpendicular to the first member face at the second member end. The first member end has a first member end height, and the second member end has a second member end height. The first pivot arm has a first pivot arm height and the second pivot arm has a second pivot arm height, such that the first member end height is greater than the first pivot arm height and the second member end height is greater than the second pivot arm height. In addition, a first reinforcing arm extends from the first member end and is in contact with the first pivot arm, and a second reinforcing arm extends from the second member end and is in contact with the second pivot arm. Further, a lifting lid assembly includes a lifting lid pivotally mounted on a supporting brace and a monorail lifting device including a monorail having a receiving bracket for receiving the monorail mounting bracket and a drive assembly for raising and lowering the receiving bracket along the monorail.
