Embodiment Construction

[0018] A diverter valve assembly and fluid channel for use with a brewed beverage maker according to the present invention provides an improved method and apparatus for reducing the risk of accidental ejection of heated fluid from the brewed beverage maker. The diverter valve and channel configuration can also operate with brewed beverage makers that include an integral or removable fresh water reservoir.

[0019] Like a traditional automatic drip coffee machine, the brewing cycle consists of several steps in sequence. First, fresh water is heated in a hot water heater. Second, the heated water goes through the hot water pipe to the diverter valve. If the diverter valve is closed, the hot water passes through the diverter valve and then into the shower head placed above the filter basket. The filter basket holds insoluble substances, such as ground coffee. The heated water is then passed through the insoluble matter, through the filter and through the filter basket. Finall...

Abstract

The invention relates to a brewed beverage maker with a diverter valve assembly placed between a heater and a showerhead, the diverter valve assembly fluidly connected to both the heater and showerhead. Opening the beverage maker during a brew cycle automatically causes at least a portion of the fluid passing through the diverter valve assembly to be diverted to a channel that directs the fluid to a point downstream of the showerhead in the brew cycle. In one embodiment of the invention, the diverted fluid is directed to a filter basket. The channel may optionally include a basin to collect and direct the diverted fluid. The outlet of the diverter valve assembly may form the showerhead.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a brewed beverage maker with a lid and a showerhead, wherein the showerhead is rotatably connected to the coffee machine, thereby allowing the user to rotate the showerhead to add, remove or otherwise access a filter or brew Baskets, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a selectively opening diverter valve and a fluid passageway for use with such brewed beverage makers. Background technique [0002] Hot or brewed beverage makers, such as coffee makers, using various brewing techniques have been known and sold for many years. A typical and conventional coffee machine includes a frame or tower with an insulating plate forming the bottom or base of the tower and with a filter basket positioned above the insulating plate. The interior of the column at least partially defines a fresh water reservoir. It is also possible to include an optionally removable fresh water reservoir. These coffee makers furthe...
