Abstract
A drinking water filtering device filters drinking water being drunk from a beverage container. The device includes a housing having a peripheral wall defining an interior space. The housing has a bottom end and a top end, each of which is open. A filter is positioned in the interior space between the bottom end and the top end. A collar is coupled to and extends upwardly from the top end of the housing around the open end. The collar defines a socket configured for receiving an opening of a straw wherein the filter is configured for filtering water drawn through the interior space by sucking on the straw.
Claims12
A drinking water filtering device comprising:
- a housing having a peripheral wall defining an interior space, said housing having a bottom end and a top end, said bottom end being open, said top end being open;
- a filter positioned in said interior space between said bottom end and said top end;
- and
- a collar coupled to and extending upwardly from said top end of said housing, said collar defining a socket configured for receiving an opening of a straw wherein said filter is configured for filtering water drawn through said interior space by sucking on the straw.
A drinking water filtering device comprising:
- a housing having a peripheral wall defining an interior space, said housing having a bottom end and a top end, said bottom end being open, said top end being open, an interior surface of a medial section of said peripheral wall tapering inwardly extending away from said top end;
- a filter positioned in said interior space between said bottom end and said top end, said filter being frusto-conical wherein an outer surface of said filter abuts said interior surface of said medial section of said peripheral wall;
- a collar coupled to and extending upwardly from said top end of said housing, said collar defining a socket configured for receiving an opening of a straw wherein said filter is configured for filtering water drawn through said interior space by sucking on the straw;
- a plurality of apertures extending through said peripheral wall of said housing, said apertures being arranged radially around said peripheral wall, each of said apertures being rectangular, each of said apertures having a longitudinal axis coplanar with a longitudinal axis of said housing, said filter abutting a perimeter edge of each of said apertures;
- and
- an interior lip extending inwardly from said peripheral wall of said housing, said interior lip abutting a top surface of said filter, said interior lip extending a full circumference around said interior surface of said peripheral wall.
A drinking water filtering device comprising:
- a cap having a circumferential wall, said circumferential wall being threaded on an inwardly facing surface wherein said cap is configured for being coupled to a beverage container, said cap having an open top;
- a perimeter wall coupled to and extending from said cap around said open top;
- a spout coupled to a top of said perimeter wall, said spout being in fluid communication with said cap through said open top of said cap;
- and
- a filter positioned in said perimeter wall between said cap and said spout wherein said filter is configured for filtering water passing through said perimeter wall from said cap to said spout.
