Abstract
A beverage making device including a container, the container comprising a base, a lid removably attached to the container, a plunger assembly including a filter, a first magnetic arrangement disposed on or within the plunger assembly, the plunger assembly being moveable between a depressed position and an undepressed position, a second magnetic arrangement disposed on or within the container, wherein the first magnetic arrangement and the second magnetic arrangement retain the plunger assembly in the depressed position due to attraction forces between the first magnetic arrangement and the second magnetic arrangement.
Claims16
A beverage making device comprising
- a container, the container comprising a base,
- a lid removably attached to the container,
- a plunger assembly comprising:
- a filter,
- a first magnetic arrangement disposed on or within the plunger assembly,
- the plunger assembly being moveable between a depressed position and an undepressed position,
- a second magnetic arrangement disposed on or within the container,
- wherein the first magnetic arrangement and the second magnetic arrangement retain the plunger assembly in the depressed position due to attraction forces between the first magnetic arrangement and the second magnetic arrangement, wherein the plunger assembly further comprising:
- a base plate,
- a top plate,
- the filter positioned between the base plate and the top plate,
- a plunger rod moveable within the container between a depressed position and an undepressed position,
- the base plate coupled to a base of the plunger rod,
- the first magnetic arrangement disposed on the base plate or the top plate,
- the plunger rod extending through the filter and the top plate, the top plate and the filter being retained on the plunger rod,
- wherein the movement of the plunger rod causes the top plate, base plate, and the filter to move, and
- the base plate being urged adjacent the base of the container and holding the base plate adjacent the base of the container due to attraction between the first magnetic arrangement and the second magnetic arrangement.
A plunger assembly of a beverage making device comprising:
- a base plate,
- a filter,
- a top plate,
- a plunger rod extending through the base plate, the filter and the top plate, wherein the top plate and filter are retained on the plunger rod and the base plate is coupled to the plunger rod,
- the filter being located between the base plate and the top plate,
- a magnetic arrangement disposed on or within the plunger assembly,
- wherein the plunger assembly being moveable between a depressed position and an undepressed position within a container of the beverage making device, and
- the base plate being urged toward a base of the container and retained adjacent the base of the container when the plunger assembly in the depressed position due to attraction between the first magnetic arrangement and a corresponding magnetic arrangement associated with the container.
