Abstract
A ring washer is provided at an end of the outlet of the dripping device. The ring washer has a center trough channel aligned with the outlet. A sphere is rotatably stuck at an end of the through channel of the ring washer. When the sphere is turned to a specific angle, a diametrical through channel of the sphere is substantially aligned with the through channel of the ring washer and the outlet and the fluid in the dripping device is therefore allowed to drip through. At the end of the through channel of the ring washer that interfaces with the sphere, a flexible ring element is provided that could conform to the curvature of the sphere and thereby compensate for slits that may exist between the not-so-perfectly-circular ring washer and the not-so-perfectly-round sphere.
Description
- The present invention generally relates to dripping devices for making coffee or tea or the like, and more particular to a dripping device using a sphere to control the open and close of the outlet of the dripping device.
- Quite a few simple dripping devices have been disclosed, such as those taught by R.O.C. Taiwan Patent Publication Nos. 375021 and 451654.
- Most of these dripping devices have a ring washer at the outlet of the device and a sphere fitted in the hole of the ring washer to block the outlet.
- The hole of the ring washer and the sphere have to be perfectly circular and spherical so as to be fully matched and thereby to avoid leakage. The manufacturing of the precisely circular ring washer and round sphere is therefore more difficult. Additionally, after a period of usage, the wear between the sphere and the ring washer inevitably creates some slit therebetween and leakage may still happen.
- The primary purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel dripping device and a related method in controlling the open and close of the outlet of a dripping device.
- According to the present invention, a ring washer is provided at an end of the outlet of the dripping device. The ring washer has a center through channel aligned with the outlet. A sphere is provided in the center of a stick and the sphere has a larger diameter than that of the through channel of the ring washer. The sphere is rotatably stuck at an end of the through channel of the ring washer. When the stick is turned, the sphere is turned as well. When the sphere is turned to a specific angle, a diametrical through channel of the sphere is substantially aligned with the through channel of the ring washer and the fluid in the dripping device is therefore allowed to drip through.
- At the end of the through channel of the ring washer that interfaces with the sphere, a flexible ring element is provided that could conform to the curvature of the sphere and thereby compensate for slits that may exist between the not-so-perfectly-circular ring washer and the not-so-perfectly-round sphere.
- The foregoing objectives and summary provide only a brief introduction to the present invention. To fully appreciate these and other objects of the present invention as well as the invention itself, all of which will become apparent to those skilled in the art, the following detailed description of the invention and the claims should be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Rather, the following description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
- As shown in
FIGS. 1 to 3 , a dripping device according to an embodiment of the present invention mainly contains a cup-like container 10 with ahandle 16 laterally attached to the side wall (not numbered) of thecontainer 10. The top opening of thecontainer 10 is closed by acircular cover 17 hinged to a top portion of thehandle 16. Adjacent to where thecover 17 and thehandle 16 are joined, aguide plate 171 is vertically extended downward from the rim of thecover 17. The purpose of having theguide plate 171 will be explained later. In addition, thecontainer 10 has a cylindrical base with acircular flange 15 at the bottom for placing the entire dripping device on top of a mug or cup. - A
filter 12 is usually positioned inside thecontainer 10 and the coffee grounds or tea leaves or the like are placed on top of thefilter 12. There is anoutlet 11 running vertically through the axis of the cylindrical base of thecontainer 10. Along the bottom surface of the base, there is anindentation 13 for holding aring washer 20 so that thering washer 20 is perpendicular to theoutlet 11 and a center throughchannel 21 of thering washer 20 is aligned with theoutlet 11. - The
ring washer 20 is made of a food-grade rubber material. Around the bottom aperture of the inner circumference of the throughchannel 21, aring groove 22 is provided to hold aflexible ring element 23. Beneath the bottom surface of the cylindrical base of thecontainer 10, astick 30 is laterally provided so that asphere 40 in the center of thestick 30 having a diameter larger than that of the throughchannel 21 blocks the bottom aperture of the throughchannel 21. Thestick 30 runs diametrically through the base and its two ends are extended outside of the base through twoholes 14 of the base and then plugged into twoknobs 31 fitted inside theholes 14, respectively. As such, by twisting each one of theknobs 31, thestick 30 as well as thesphere 40 is spun accordingly. - The
sphere 40 has a diametrical throughchannel 41 so that, when thesphere 40 is turned to a specific angle, the throughchannel 41 is aligned with the throughchannel 21. The throughchannel 41 has enlarged openings at the two ends to facilitate the flow of fluid through the throughchannel 41. - Each
knob 31 has an inner cylindrical socket (not numbered) for receiving an end of thestick 30 and an outer cylindrical dial (not numbered) with anindicator 33 extended radially from the circumference of the dial that, along with “ON” and “OFF” markings around eachhole 14, indicates the orientation ofsphere 40 as well as the throughchannel 41. The inner socket has ablock 32 extended radially from the circumference of the inner socket. Correspondingly, eachhole 14 has anotch 141 along the circumference of thehole 14 so that theblock 32 can only be turned within the confinement of thenotch 141. Thenotch 141 is configured such that the “ON” and “OFF” markings marks the two ends of theblock 32's traversal within thenotch 141 and, when theindicator 33 points to the “ON” marking, thesphere 40 is turned to an angle that the throughchannel 41 is fully aligned with the throughchannel 21. - The foregoing components of the dripping device can all be made of a microwaveable material so that the entire dripping device and a cup can be placed inside a microwave oven to make a cup of hot coffee or tea.
- As shown in
FIGS. 4 and 5 , when theknobs 31 are turned to the “OFF” position, theoutlet 11 and the throughchannel 41 are not aligned and the fluid in thecontainer 10 is prevented from dripping or leaking into acup 50 beneath the dripping device. - As shown in
FIGS. 6 and 7 , when theknobs 31 are turned to the “ON” position, theoutlet 11 and the throughchannel 41 are fully aligned and the fluid in thecontainer 10 is allowed to drip into thecup 50 beneath the dripping device. -
FIG. 8 a shows the configuration of thering washer 20 when it is not in contact with thesphere 40. In contrast, as shown inFIG. 8 b, thesphere 40 presses against the bottom aperture of the throughchannel 21, thereby forcing thering element 23 to deform and conform to the curvature of thesphere 40. As such, a watertight contact between thering washer 20 and thesphere 40 is achieved and no fluid would be able to escape through theoutlet 11 and thechannel 21. - As shown in
FIG. 9 , even when thering washer 20 is not fully circular (or thesphere 40 is not filly spherical), theflexible ring element 23 is able to compensate these minor defects by conforming to the curvature of thesphere 40. As such, a watertight contact is still maintained. In contrast, as shown inFIG. 10 , leakage would be inevitable without the provisioning of theflexible ring element 23 to compensate the not-so-perfect ring washer 20 orsphere 40. - As shown in
FIG. 11 , as vapor from thecontainer 10 may be condensed into liquid along the bottom surface of thecover 17, the condensed vapor could be colleted back into thecontainer 10 following theguide plate 171 when thecover 17 is opened. - It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together may also find a usefull application in other types of methods differing from the type described above.
- While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
