DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(6) With reference now to the drawings, and in particular FIGS. 1 through 5 thereof, an example of the instant device for skewering a kebab employing the principles and concepts of the present device for skewering a kebab and generally designated by the reference number 10 will be described.

(7) Referring to FIGS. 1 through 5 the present device for skewering a kebab 10 is illustrated. The device for skewering a kebab 10 includes an enclosed substantially cylindrical casing 20. The casing 20 further includes a pair of substantially cylindrical ends 22, an elongated cylindrical body 24, and a pair of slots 26. The ends 22 include a right end 28 and a left end 30. Each of the right end 28 and the left end 30 has a continuous outer edge 32 and a middle portion 34 disposed within the outer edge 32. The middle portion 34 has a circular concave external surface 36 and a circular concave internal surface 38. The outer edge 32 has a front side 40 and a back side 42. The body 24 has an exterior surface 44, an interior surface 46, a right edge 48, and a left edge 50. The body 24 includes a first half 52 hingedly and continuously attached to a second half 54. The interior surface 46 of the body 24 proximal the right edge 48 is disposed around the outer edge 32 of the right end 28, and the interior surface 46 of the body 24 proximal the left edge 50 is disposed around the outer edge 32 of the left end 30. The pair of slots 26 includes a right slot 56 and a left slot 58. The right slot 56 is continuously disposed within the right end 28 from the outer edge 32 to substantially a midpoint of the middle portion 34, and the left slot 58 is continuously disposed within the left end 30 from the outer edge 32 to substantially a midpoint of the middle portion 34. Each of the right slot 56 and the left slot 58 is medially disposed underneath the first half 52 of the body 24.

(8) The body 24 has an open position and an alternate closed position. As best shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the body 24 is in the open position when the first half 52 of the body 24 is disposed atop the second half 54 of the body 24. As best shown in FIG. 2, the body 24 is in the closed position when the first half 52 of the body 24 is disposed around the pair of ends 22. A cylindrical skewer 60 has a pointed first end 62 and a handle 64 disposed around a second end 66 of the skewer 60. As best shown in FIG. 1, the skewer 60 is removably disposed within the casing 20 through the pair of slots 26.
