Cooktop with hinged grates

1. A cooktop assembly, comprising:

a cooktop;

a burner mounted on the cooktop;

a coupling member coupled to the cooktop and including a body having a first pin extending from a first end of the body in a first direction and a second pin extending from a second end of the body in the first direction, the body defining a locking cutout adjacent to each of the first pin and the second pin; and

a grate including a pivot member that selectively engages the coupling member, wherein the grate is operable between a raised position and a lowered position when the pivot member is engaged with the coupling member, the grate being slidably engageable with at least one of the first pin and the second pin along a second direction that opposes the first direction, wherein the grate is configured to move further in the second direction into the locking cutouts when in the raised position to be retained in the raised position.

2. The cooktop assembly of claim 1 , wherein the pivot member is configured as a projection defining a receiving cavity.

3. The cooktop assembly of claim 1 , wherein: an upper surface

of the grate engages an abutting surface of each of the first and second locking cutouts to retain the grate in the raised position.

4. The cooktop assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a griddle including a pivot member, wherein: the pivot member is a C-shaped receiver selectively engaging at least one of the first and second pins of the coupling member.

5. The cooktop assembly of claim 4 , wherein: the griddle is operable between a raised position and a lowered position; and the griddle includes a retaining protrusion engaging the coupling member when the griddle is in the raised position.
