Portable water purification systems including a mounting assembly

A mounting assembly for coupling a ultraviolet (UV) chamber having a UV lamp to a housing of a portable liquid filtration device, said mounting assembly comprising:

• a pair of rails configured to be coupled to an intermediate cover of said housing, said pair of rails comprise at least a first rail and a second rail spaced from said first rail, said first and second rails each coupled to said intermediate cover and projecting outward from said intermediate cover, each said pair of rails defining a corresponding rail notch therein when coupled to the housing;
• a central track extending between said first and second rails;
• and
• a clamp comprising a grip arm at a first end of said clamp and a flange at a second, opposite end of said clamp, said grip arm being shaped to secure the UV chamber to said clamp, wherein said flange provides a friction fit between said clamp and said pair of rails, wherein said clamp comprises a back wall at said second end, said back wall contacting said central track.

A portable liquid filtration device comprising:

• a housing comprising a first side wall, a second side wall opposite said first side wall, and an intermediate cover extending from said first side wall to said second side wall, wherein said intermediate cover includes a first surface and a second surface opposite said first surface, said first surface at least partially defining a first cavity of said housing and said second surface at least partially defining a second cavity of said housing;
• an ultraviolet (UV) chamber comprising a UV lamp configured to irradiate the liquid with UV light, said UV chamber is within said second cavity;
• a set of rails coupled to said housing, said set of rails defining a corresponding rail notch;
• and
• a mount comprising a grip arm at a first end of said mount and a flange at a second, opposite end of said mount, said grip arm being shaped to secure said UV chamber to said mount, wherein said flange provides a friction fit between said mount and said set of rails for securing said UV chamber to said housing.
