[0024] The object, specific advantages and novel features of the present application will become more apparent from the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the drawings, it should be noted that, in terms of the reference numerals attached to the components of each drawing, the same numerals are given to the same components as much as possible even if they appear in different drawings. Also, in the explanation of the present application, detailed explanation of the related known technology will be omitted when it is considered that it can unnecessarily confuse the gist of the present application.

[0025] In addition, the drawings are only for the purpose of easily understanding the embodiments disclosed in the present specification, and the technical idea disclosed in the present specification is not limited to the drawings, and should be understood to include all modifications, equivalents, and even alternatives within the scope of the idea and technology of the present application.

[0026] Figure 1 is a side view of a filtering device in a teapot according to an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 (a) and (b) of FIG. 1 are top views of a filtering device in a teapot according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0027] Referring to Figure 1 The filtering device 2 that can be installed at the upper end of the teapot 1 can include a cavity 3, a filter 4, and a discharge portion 5.

[0028] The cavity 3 can be provided in a container shape to be able to temporarily store fluid, and in a multi-stage in which the cross-sectional area is changed at a prescribed height position, and provided with a portion protruding from the outside of the cavity 3.

[0029] The cavity 3 can include at least a filtering portion 31 that is a space from the lower end of the filter 4 to the lower face of the cavity 3, can have the smallest cross-sectional area, and a storage portion 32 that is provided at the upper face of the filter 4 to have a larger cross-sectional area than the filtering portion 31, and the lower end of the storage portion 32 is provided to be adjacent to the upper end of the filter 4, so that the filtering portion 31 and the storage portion 32 can be separated by the filter 4.

[0030] The upper face of the cavity 3 is open, and the lower face is provided in a closed state except for a hole for insertion of a support member 53 of the discharge portion 5, so that fluid flowing in from the upper face can be temporarily stored in the filtering portion 31 after being filtered by the filter 4, and the temporarily stored fluid can be discharged from the cavity 3 when the valve 54 of the discharge portion 5 is opened by pressurization.

[0031] Referring to Figure 2 (a) of FIG. 1, since the filtering device 2 is provided in a multi-stage, circular cross-sections having different cross-sectional areas from each other are overlapped with each other, and the hole for insertion of the support member 53 is shown in the filtering portion 31 having the smallest cross-section.

[0032] The cross-section adjacent to the filter section 31 can be equivalent to the storage section 32, which has a larger cross-sectional area than the filter section 31. The filter device 2 is provided with an area whose cross-section is larger than the storage section 32, thereby... Figure 2 As shown in (a), there are 3 adjacent cross sections.

[0033] Based on the position of the filter 4 in the cavity 3, the cross-sectional area changes vertically. The filter 4 can have a cross-section corresponding to the cross-sectional area of ​​the storage section 32 and be provided at the lower end of the storage section 32 and the upper end of the filter section 31. The storage section 32 is formed at the upper end of the filter 4 and the filter section 31 is formed at the lower end. Thus, the filter 4 can be positioned at the upper end of the filter section 31 by means of the difference in cross-sectional area.

[0034] The filter device 2 in the existing teapot is made of transparent plastic, namely PC (polycarbonate). Under normal circumstances, the teapot 1 uses hot water and tea leaves to brew tea. The temperature of the hot water is above 60 degrees Celsius, which is lower than the heat distortion temperature of PC, namely 140 degrees Celsius. Therefore, there is no problem of the hot water causing the PC to deform.

[0035] However, consumers have many concerns about the deformation of plastic (PC) caused by hot water reaching up to 100 degrees Celsius and the resulting environmental hormones. There is also a risk that the plastic will be stained and discolored by colored teas such as black tea. However, in a teapot 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the filter device 2 is made of glass instead of plastic, which solves the above-mentioned concerns about hot water, discoloration and staining, and makes it possible to confirm the amount of fluid temporarily stored inside.

[0036] The filter 4 can be placed flat inside the cavity 3, dividing the cavity 3 into a storage section 32 and a filtration section 31, and filtering the fluid in the storage section 32 to a predetermined size so that it flows into the filtration section 31. The filter 4 may include a filter hole 41 for filtering the fluid to a predetermined size and a rod hole 42 through which the rod 52 of the discharge section 5 passes.

[0037] The filter holes 41 are holes of a specified size. Multiple holes are provided in the filter 4. The fluid in the storage section 32 can be filtered to a specified size and can be arranged in a specified shape from the center of the filter 4.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 (b) The filter hole 41 is configured as a cylindrical shape with the radius gradually increasing from the center of the filter 4, but the filter hole 41 is not limited to this and can be configured in various shapes in the filter 4. Since it is configured in the flat filter 4, the size of multiple filter holes 41 can be set to be the same.

[0039] Rod hole 42 is a hole through which the rod 52 of the discharge section 5 passes in the filter 4. It is set to be larger than the size of filter hole 41, as shown in the reference. Figure 2(b) is provided at one side of the filter 4, and can correspond to the position where the discharge part 5 is provided in the filtering device 2.

[0040] Referring to Figure 1 A head part 51 and a support member 53 can be provided at the upper and lower ends of the rod 52 which penetrates the discharge part 5 of the filter 4, the support member 53 can correspond to the cross section of the head part 51, and can be provided to be in contact with the lower surface of the filter 4.

[0041] In Figure 2 In (b), the rod hole 42 is penetrated by the rod 52 of the discharge part 5 in the center, and the edge is provided to correspond to the cross section of the head part 51 or the support member 53, and the edge can be in a shape reinforced to protrude with respect to the filter 4.

[0042] When the fluid of the filtering part 31 is discharged by pressurizing the discharge part 5, the filter 4 can be subjected to a force toward the lower end, and since the position where the filter 4 is subjected to the force corresponds to the position of the rod hole 42, the rod hole 42 can have a size corresponding to the cross section of the support member 53 provided at the lower end, and the edge can be provided to be thicker than the thickness of the filter 4 to withstand the applied force.

[0043] The filter 4 is entirely flat, and thus has a prescribed thickness, but the edge of the rod hole 42 has a thickness thicker than the thickness of the filter 4, and thus can be provided to protrude from the filter 4 to both sides or one side.

[0044] The filter 4 has a cross-sectional area corresponding to that of the storage part 32, and is provided to be larger than the cross section of the filtering part 31, and is provided at the upper end of the filtering part 31 by the difference in cross-sectional area, and thus can be separated from the cavity 3 if the filter 4 is pulled toward the upper end.

[0045] The filter 4 is not fixed to the cavity 3 by a specific fixing member, but is configured to be placed in a state where the upper end of the filtering part 31 and the support member 53 provided above the filtering part 31 are overlapped, and thus can be easily separated from the cavity 3, unlike the existing tea pot, and the filter 4 can be separated to be cleaned, and thus hygiene can be maintained.

[0046] The discharge part 5 penetrates the lower surface of the cavity 3 and the filter 4, and can discharge the fluid from the cavity 3 by pressurization. The discharge part 5 can include a head part 51, a rod 52, a support member 53, a flow hole 55, and a valve 54 from the upper end of the filtering device 2.

[0047] The head part 51 is provided to be connected to the rod 52 at the other end and to protrude from the cavity 3 at one end, and can be moved downward when the user pressurizes the head part 51. Referring to Figure 3A spring 7 can be provided inside the head 51 and connected to the rod 52. In normal times, the head 51 protrudes from the cavity 3 because the spring 7 is in a stretched state, but when pressure is applied to the head 51, the head 51 moves downward to compress the spring 7, and when the pressure disappears, it can return to the original state by the elastic force.

[0048] The head 51 can move relatively to the guide rod 521 in the rod 52 due to the spring 7 provided inside, and can move together with the push rod 522 connected to the spring 7 to open the valve 54.

[0049] The head 51 is provided at a position corresponding to the rod hole 42 provided in the filter 4, that is, one side of the filter 4, and is disposed around the handle 14 of the teapot 1 described later, so that the user can press the head 51 with the thumb while holding the handle 14 with one hand, and can discharge the fluid from the filter device 2 with one hand.

[0050] The rod 52 is provided between the head 51 and the support member 53, and can be provided in a rod shape penetrating the filter 4. The rod 52 can be provided in a double pipe shape, with the guide rod 521 disposed outside and the push rod 522 disposed inside.

[0051] The guide rod 521 is fixed in position on the support member 53, includes the push rod 522 inside, and can have a larger cross section than the push rod 522. Since the position of the guide rod 521 is fixed, when the head 51 is pressed to move downward, the head 51 moves relative to the guide rod 521 and can move downward together with the push rod 522.

[0052] The push rod 522 is provided inside the guide rod 521 and has a smaller cross section than the guide rod 521, the upper end is connected to the spring 7 provided in the head 51, and the lower end is connected to the support member 53 or the valve 54 to be moved together by pressure.

[0053] The push rod 522 can move vertically inside the guide rod 521, so when the valve 54 is pressed, it moves downward together with the valve 54 and the spring 7, and the valve 54 is disposed to be spaced apart from the support member 53, so that the fluid temporarily stored in the filter part 31 can be discharged from the filter device 2.

[0054] The push rod 522 is connected to the spring 7 provided inside the head 51, and when the head 51 is pressed, it vertically descends inside the guide rod 521 by the compression force of the spring 7, and the valve 54 provided at the other end is disposed to be spaced apart from the support member 53, so that at least a part of the push rod 522 can be provided inside the support member 53 to be longer than the guide rod 521.

[0055] The support member 53 can be provided in the filter part 31, fixed so that the upper end is in contact with the filter 4 and the lower end penetrates the lower face of the cavity 3. The support member 53 can correspond to the cross section of the head part 51, and can support the filter 4 at a position corresponding to the edge of the rod hole 42 provided in the filter 4.

[0056] Referring to Figure 3 , the support member 53 is in contact with the filter 4 and penetrates the lower face of the cavity 3, the lower face of the support member 53 is provided in an open form, and can be closed by the valve 54.

[0057] The support member 53 is a hollow column, a push rod 522 is provided at the center, and flow holes 55 are provided at the side, the flow holes 55 are configured to be spaced apart from the push rod 522 and in an always open form, so that the fluid temporarily stored in the filter part 31 can be filled into the inside of the support member 53.

[0058] In the teapot 1 according to an embodiment of the present application, the push rod 522 can be provided at the center of the inside of the support member 53 and configured to be spaced apart from the flow holes 55 provided at the side of the support member 53, and in the teapot 1 according to another embodiment, the push rod 522 can protrude to block the flow holes 55 and can open the flow holes 55 as the push rod 522 moves downward.

[0059] In the teapot 1 according to an embodiment of the present application, since the push rod 522 does not block the flow holes 55, the flow holes 55 are always open, so that when the valve 54 provided at the lower face of the support member 53 is opened, the fluid provided in the inside of the support member 53 can be discharged through the space between the support member 53 and the valve 54.

[0060] The flow holes 55 are provided at the side of the support member 53, located in the filter part 31 and can be configured to be adjacent to the fluid temporarily stored in the filter part 31. Referring to Figure 1 , the flow holes 55 are configured at a predetermined height from the lower face of the cavity 3, so that the fluid can flow into the inside of the support member 53 through the flow holes 55 only when the fluid above the predetermined height is temporarily stored in the filter part 31.

[0061] The valve 54 is provided at the open lower face of the support member 53, can be separated from the support member 53, and can be connected with the push rod 522. The valve 54 can have a larger cross section than the cross section of the support member 53, block the open lower face of the support member 53, and be configured to be spaced apart from the support member 53 when the push rod 522 moves downward under pressure of the head part 51.

[0062] The filter 4 and the discharge part 5 are in contact with the fluid temporarily stored in the cavity 3, and the filter 4 and the discharge part 5 are made of stainless steel, which can be different in material from the plastic or the like used in the existing teapot.

[0063] Figure 3 is a view of a valve closed state of a filtering device in a tea pot according to an embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 is a view of a valve open state of a filtering device in a tea pot according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0064] Figure 3 is a state in which the valve 54 in the filtering device 2 is set to be in contact with the support member 53 and the valve 54 is closed, and a state in which the fluid filtered by the filter 4 cannot be discharged and is temporarily stored in the filtering part 31.

[0065] In the tea pot 1 according to an embodiment of the present application, the spring 7 can be provided only in the inside of the head 51 without being provided in the vicinity of the valve 54, and thus the fluid is isolated, so that the durability and hygiene problems caused by the contact of the spring 7 with the fluid in the conventional tea pot can be solved.

[0066] One end of the head 51 is provided to protrude from the cavity 3 and is also provided to protrude with respect to a lid 12 to be coupled with the upper end of the cavity 3 as described later, so that the user can easily press the head 51.

[0067] As an example, the user can put hot water and tea leaves in the cavity 3 to brew tea, and the tea leaves cannot pass through the filter 4 to be delivered into the filtering part 31, and only the tea water filtered through the filter 4 is temporarily stored in the filtering part 31 in a predetermined amount, and can also be temporarily stored in the inside of the support member 53 in a predetermined amount.

[0068] As shown in FIG. 4, when the user presses the head 51 protruding from the cavity 3, the spring 7 provided in the inside of the head 51 moves downward together with the push rod 522, and the valve 54 connected with the distal end of the push rod 522 also moves downward, so that the support member 53 and the valve 54 can be disposed to be isolated. Figure 4 The lower surface of the support member 53 is in an open form and is closed by the valve 54, and as the valve 54 is disposed to be isolated from the support member 53, the tea water provided in the inside of the support member 53 is discharged to the space isolated by the support member 53 and the valve 54, and then the fluid in the filtering part 31 flows into the inside of the support member 53 through the filtering hole 41 and is discharged again to the space isolated by the support member 53 and the valve 54, and by repeating this process, the fluid can be discharged from the cavity 3.

[0069]

[0070] ​When the user stops pressing the head 51, the head 51 is moved upward by the elastic force of the spring 7 compressed inside the head 51, the push rod 522 connected to the spring 7 and the valve 54 connected to the push rod 522 are moved upward, and as the valve 54 is arranged to be in contact with the support member 53, the valve 54 blocks the lower surface of the support member 53 in the form of an opening, thereby the fluid can be prevented from being discharged from the cavity 3.

[0071] Figure 5 is a side view of a tea pot according to an embodiment of the present application, Figure 6 is a view of a lid of a tea pot combined with a filtering device according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0072] Referring to Figure 5 , the filtering device 2 is combined with the upper end of the tea pot 1 in the form of an opening, and can be combined with the tea pot 1 in the form of a suspension, and the lid 12 is arranged at the upper end of the tea pot 1 to block the upper end of the filtering device 2.

[0073] The tea pot 1 can include the main body 11 combined with the filtering device 2, the lid 12, the water outlet 13, and the handle 14, the main body 11 is in the form of an opening at the upper surface to be combined with the filtering device 2, and can have a container form to store the fluid discharged from the filtering device 2.

[0074] The lid 12 has a larger cross section than that of the main body 11 to be combined with the upper surface of the main body 11 in the form of an opening, and can be arranged in the form of a partial opening so that the head 51 protruding from the cavity 3 can be penetrated.

[0075] Referring to Figure 5 , the head 51 of the discharge part 5 is arranged to protrude from the upper end of the cavity 3 in the form of penetrating the lid 12 and protruding from the tea pot 1, and thus is in a shape easy to be pressed by the user, and is arranged in the tea pot 1 adjacent to the handle 14, so that the user can press the head 51 with the thumb or the like in the state of holding the handle 14 to discharge the fluid from the filtering device 2, thereby the tea pot 1 can be used with one hand.

[0076] The water outlet 13 is arranged to protrude from one surface of the main body 11 to discharge the fluid stored in the main body 11, and can be disposed at the opposite side of the handle 14. The water outlet 13 discharges the fluid through the space between the main body 11 and the filtering device 2, and as Figure 5 shown, when the upper end of the storage part 32 of the filtering device 2 is arranged to protrude to the side, the space between the main body 11 and the filtering device 2 is narrowed, so that the fluid stored in the main body 11 cannot be smoothly discharged.

[0077] The water outlet 13 can be provided at a position corresponding to the upper end of the storage portion 32 provided in the filter device 2 of a plurality of stages or a low position, so that the space between the main body 11 and the filter device 2 is not too narrow, and if the drainage is performed in a state in which the filter device 2 is separated from the main body 11, the problem caused by the space between the main body 11 and the filter device 2 as described above does not occur.
