Abstract

A kettle that fills automatically comprises a kettle 2, and a base unit 5 that has a mains water supply 3. The base unit has a water connection 7 to the kettle, and an electronic water valve that is operated by an adjustable float switch in the kettle. When the water level in the kettle is below the float height, the water valve is turned on and the kettle is filled via the water connection 7. Preferably the kettle has an inline water filter and an inline automatic water cut off valve.

Description

<p>* 2440713 KE1TLE This Invention relates to an automatic filling
kettle.</p>
<p>When kettles are low of water they are removed from their original position and taken to a mains water supply to be refilled. This can mean time and effort.</p>
<p>To overcome this, the present invention proposes a water mains connected base, which connects to the kettle, therefore allowing automatic refilling of the kettle. The kettle will make sure no effort is needed in refilling it.</p>
<p>Preferably the kettle has an inline water filter and an inline automatic water cut off valve.</p>
<p>Figure 1 Figure 1 relates to a kettle 2 being filled in a direction 1 from a mains water supply.</p>
<p>Figure 2 relates to a kettle 2 which connects to base unit 5 which connects to a mains fed water supply pipe 3, making the kettle 2 fill in the direction 4. The base unit 5 contains an electricity operated water valve, which is controlled by an electric relay.</p>
<p>The kettle 2 contains an adjustable float which the e'ectricity operates the relay.</p>
<p>When the kettle 2 is placed on the base unit 5 and the water level in the kettle 2 is below the bottom of the float, the float electricity operates the relay in the base unit 5 switching the electric water valve on allowing water to flow free from the mains water supply through pipe 3 in the direction of 6 though the electric water valve and through a connection between the base unit 5 and the kettle 2 in the direction of 4 until the water reaches the bottom of the float in kettle 2 and disconnects the connection in the float therefore cutting off power to the relay, switching off the water valve stopping any water flowing into kettle 2.</p>
