Watering can

Described is a water purification device having an intake funnel (1), a sleeve (2) which is sealingly connected thereto and an insert which has approximately cylindrical side walls (4), a filter cover (5) and a filter bottom (6) and in which a granulate-type purification agent can be introduced. So that any gases and/or air which accumulates no longer impede the flow of water to be purified through the filter bottom (6), in accordance with the invention it is provided that the filter bottom (6) has an air collecting space (7) which is extended upwardly at least partially towards the side wall (4); wherein preferably the air collecting space (7) is in the configuration of half-tubes (11) which are open downwardly and outwardly of the bottom and which are connected to each other and to a chimney-like half-tube (12) which extends over the side walls (4).

Water purification device with an intake funnel

Described is a filter cover for a purification insert (4) in a water treatment device, wherein the filter cover (5) has filter slots (7) on a conical surface portion (6) and at least one vent opening (9) in the middle of a raised connecting portion (8), and can be connected to a hollow tube (10) with a disc (11). So that operation and handling, in particular venting and manipulation by the end consumer, are improved in the case of such a filter cover, it is provided that the filter slots (7) are substantially straight and are arranged in a ring-like configuration on the frustoconical surface portion (6) which occupies about 1/3 to 1/2 of the height of the filter cover (5) and that provided on the upper outer annular surface of the disc (11) are markings (15, 16) with which there is associated an adjustable pointer (17) mounted on an arresting ring (19) which is arranged non-detachably and rotatably on the hollow tube (10).

Filter cover for a purification insert in a water treatment device with

The invention relates to a filter cartridge for a liquid filter, in particular for use for tanks for the filtration of water for the production of drinking water, with a generally cylindrical vessel, which contains the filtering material and with a sealing screen mounted on this vessel like a cover. In order to improve the functioning of a filter cartridge, and in particular to make such a filter cartridge, which with comparatively fast liquid throughput has a good filtration action with optimum utilization of the filtering material, it is proposed in conformity with the invention that the sealing screen be covered by a distributor cap 3 essentially closed at the top and open at the side.

Liquid distributor cap for a filter cartridge

Described is an insert for a water purifier comprising substantially cylindrical side walls (9) with a filter top (16) and a filter bottom (10) at the end thereof, and with an annular sealing means (12, 22) secured to the upper end of the side walls (9). In order to increase the volume and in particular the length of the flow path of the liquid to be purified, through the purification agent, it is provided in accordance with the invention that the insert comprises a distributor and a cup portion (11) connected thereto, which respectively have at least a guide tube (13, 17) extending into the interior of the insert and an annular flange (12) for securing to the other annular flange (22), that the guide tubes (13, 17) are of different diameters and in the assembled condition are in concentric relationship with each other, that the upper annular flange (22) is secured to the filter top (16) of the distributor, said filter top having an end wall (21) and filter slots (23) in a cylindrical wall (20), an that filter means are provided at the inner guide tube (13).

Insert for a water purifier

An apparatus for purifying water, comprising a funnel-shaped member, a sleeve formed integrally with said member, a cup-shaped insert having a cylindrical wall arranged within the sleeve, screen-like closure members at upper and lower ends of the cylindrical wall of the insert, defining an accommodation chamber containing a granular purifying agent which is insoluble in water, the apertures in the screen-like closure members being smaller than the granules of the purifying agent, and a ventilation tube projecting upward and extending above the vertical height of the funnel-shaped member, provided at the top with openings, attached to the screen-like closure member at the upper end of the insert, said ventilation tube serving as a handle for said insert.
