DESCRIPTION
This invention is about a cleaning pads for tea makers (CPT). During the
boiling process in the tea maker, the condensing water accumulates as
drops at the upper teapot base. Accumulated water drops hang on the base
due to the surface tension force between the base and the water
molecules. During the serving process these drops fall down and create a
problem for the user. CPTs offer a practical and simple solution for
this problem.
CPT is click-installed onto the water heater part of the Tea Maker.
The upper teapot rests on the CPT-Teapot during the tea making process.
The upper teapot is taken off the tea maker by wiping its base off the
CPT-Teapot’s edge. Due to its elastomer edge the hanging water drops are
wiped off the teapot’s base.
CONVENTIONAL PRODUCTS
Sofar in the market a product, which offers an effective solution to
the dripping problem of the tea makers during the serving process,
hasn’t been introduced. Some tea maker brands suggest in their user
manuals to wipe the base of the upper teapot onto the heater’s edge to
get rid of the accumulated water drops before serving. However the rigid
edges of these heaters fail to wipe the accumulated waters drops from
the base of the upper teapot.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of CPT is to offer a practical, simple and affordable
solution for the dripping problem of the tea makers during the serving
process.
The CPT is click-installed onto the teapot heaters. The upper teapot
is taken off the heater by wiping its base off the CPT’s edge. Due to
its elastomer edge the hanging water drops are wiped off the teapot’s
base and a clean serving experience is made possible.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
CPT (5) consists of 2 parts:
- Upper ring (1.1)
- Base ring (1.2)
CPT (1) is click-installed onto the heater (2) of the teamakers. The click-detail is provided by the base ring (1.2).
To remove the water drops under the teapot (3), it should be wiped
gently onto the CPT (1) while it is removed off the heater (4). The
upper ring (1.1) of CPT (1) is made of elastomer material, which ensures
the effectiveness of the wiping action between the teapot (3) and CPT’s
upper ring (1.1).
