Water filter device having a collecting pot and a heating element

Abstract

A water filter device has a collecting pot (1) with a spout (2) disposed at the front, with a handle (3) disposed at the rear in opposite relationship, and with an electrical heating element (5) arranged in the lower boiling region of the collecting pot (1), in this arrangement the collecting pot (1) is closable at the top by a lid (4) and provided in the interior is a filter insert (8) in which a filter cartridge (9) which can be filled with a purification agent is arranged so that untreated water can be poured into the filter insert (8) by way of the filter cartridge (9) and can pass due to the force of gravity to at least under the filter cartridge (9). The filter insert (8) is arranged in an insulating insert (6) in such a way that provided between the boiling region at the bottom in the collecting pot (1) and the filter insert (8) with the filter cartridge (9) is a partition wall (10, 10a) which is generally arranged at a spacing from the filter insert (8) and which is at least partially in the form of a horizontally extending plate. Provided in the lower region of the insulating insert (6) is a through opening (7) for the connection between the discharge end of the cartridge (9) and the collecting pot (1). So that such a water filter device can be simplified to the effect that the filter insert (8) can be removed separately from the insulating insert (6), in which case the inserts (6, 8) can be better cleaned, the pouring properties of the pot are improved and operation of the device can be better adapted to different amounts of water to be purified, it is provided in accordance with the invention that the through opening (7) is arranged in the rear region (D) of the collecting pot (1) which is in opposite relationship to the spout (2), the substantially horizontally extending part (10a) of the partition wall (10) is inclined rearwardly relative to the through opening (7) and extends above the boiling region at least partially over the cross-section of the collecting pot (1).
