Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] In a purified water pitcher in which water is contacted with a water quality improver, the time during which the water is in contact with the water quality improver is kept constant,
Eliminates waste that is excessively reformed, prevents wasteful consumption of the water quality improver, and maintains a long service life. [Constitution] In a purified water pitcher having a water inlet 17 on the upper surface and a spout 11 on the side surface, a water-permeable case 20 filled with a water quality improving agent 21 is provided at the water inlet 17 on the upper surface.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a purified water pitcher (jug) in which water introduced into a vessel from a water inlet on the upper surface is reformed with a water quality improving agent in the vessel and taken out from a spout on the side surface.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The above-mentioned purified water pitcher is well known in the art, and it is placed on a table, etc., and drinking water is reformed into weak alkaline mineral water with a water quality improving agent such as coral fossil, and then poured out from the spout for drinking.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the conventional purified water pitcher, the water quality improver is submerged in the bottom of the vessel. For this reason, the time during which the water is in contact with the water quality improver is not constant, and if the water is in the vessel for a long time, the pH of the water may rise excessively to 10 or more, and minerals may be added more than necessary. Minutes may elute in water.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention was developed in view of the above, and is a water purification pitcher having a water inlet on the upper surface and a spout on the side surface, and is characterized in that a water-permeable case filled with a water quality improving agent is provided at the water inlet on the upper surface.

【Example】

 In the illustrated embodiment, 10 is a substantially cylindrical pitcher body, and has a beak-shaped spout 11 at one side upper part. Except for this spout, the top surface of the main body 10 is closed by an upper wall 12 having a concentric circular opening, and a cartridge 13 filled with activated carbon hangs down from the circular opening in the upper wall.

The cartridge 13 has porous inner and outer double cylinders 14 and 15 closed at the lower end, and activated carbon grains 16 filled between the both cylinders, and the inner cylinder 14 is a collar 14 ′ provided at the upper end. It is connected to the upper end of the outer cylinder 15. An integral cylindrical wall having a low height stands from the upper surface of the cartridge 13, and this cylindrical wall forms a water inlet 17 for supplying tap water or the like into the hollow inside of the inner cylinder 14. The cylindrical wall stands from an annular wall 18 which is joined to overlap the upper ends of the inner and outer double cylinders, and a step 19 is formed between the cylindrical wall and the inner peripheral portion of the annular wall 18. Further, the outer peripheral portion 18 'of the annular wall 18 projects outward from the cartridge 13, and this outer peripheral portion 18' is fitted to the step 12 'provided around the circular opening of the upper wall 12 so that the cartridge can be exchanged from the upper wall. Let it hang.

The water supplied from the water inlet 17 into the hollow inside of the inner cylinder 14 comes into contact with the activated carbon particles 16 filled between the two cylinders when passing through the porous inner and outer double cylinders 14 and 15, Chalk is adsorbed on activated carbon particles and removed.

A flat cylindrical water-permeable case 20 filled with a water quality improving agent, for example, coral fossil grains 21, is fitted on the inner periphery of the cylindrical wall forming the water inlet 8 and received on the step 19. The upper surface of the water-permeable case 20 is a net material 22, and the lower surface is a plate 23 having small holes. When the water quality improver reaches the end of its useful life, replace it with a new case.

As a result, the water supplied from the water inlet 17 comes into contact with the coral fossil grains 21 for a certain period of time when passing through the water-permeable case 20, the pH is adjusted to 8 to 9, and an appropriate amount of minerals is contained in the coral fossil. Elute from the grain. The time during which the water contacts the coral fossil grains is optimized by appropriately setting the diameter and number of the holes in the plate 23 on the lower surface of the water passage case.

The entire top surface of the main body including the spout 11 is always covered with a lid 24 to prevent dust and dirt from adhering to the water-permeable case 20 and entering the container.

[0011]

[Effect of device]

 As is clear from the above, the water supplied from the water inlet 17 into the vessel contacts the water quality improver in the case for a predetermined time while flowing into the vessel through the inside of the water permeable case 20 and is therefore excessive. It is possible to prevent the waste of the water quality improver from being wasted and prevent the wasteful consumption of the water quality improver to prolong the service life.
