Abstract
A water aerator apparatus having a base with a receptacle area, an aerator having an effluent port opening from the base, a container removably received within the receptacle area of the base, and an air delivery channel formed on an interior of the container. The container has an effluent port opening at a bottom of the container. The effluent port is cooperative with the influent port. The air delivery channel communicates with the influent port such that air from the aerator passes into the air channel through the influent and effluent ports. A mesh screen is positioned directly over the air delivery channel with the container.
Claims17
A water aerator apparatus comprising:
- a base having a receptacle area formed therein;
- an aerator having an effluent port opening from said base;
- a container removably received within said receptacle area of said base, said container having an influent port opening at a bottom of said container, said influent port being cooperative with said effluent port;
- and
- an air delivery channel formed in an interior of said container, said air delivery channel communicating with said influent port such that air from said aerator passes into said air delivery channel through said effluent port and said influent port, said container being a pitcher with handle extending outwardly therefrom, said handle having a bottom, said influent port opening at said bottom of said handle, said receptacle area in said base having a slotted area extending regularly outwardly therefrom, said effluent port opening in said slotted area, said bottom of said handle being removably received in said slotted area.
A water aerator apparatus comprising:
- a base having a receptacle area formed therein;
- an aerator having an effluent port opening from said base;
- a container removably received within said receptacle area of said base, said container having an influent port opening at a bottom of said container, said influent port being cooperative with said effluent port;
- an air delivery channel formed in an interior of said container, said air delivery channel communicating with said influent port such that air from said aerator passes into said air delivery channel through said effluent port and said influent port;
- and
- a light means affixed to said base generally centrally of said receptacle area, said light means for illuminating an interior of said container.
A water aerator apparatus comprising:
- a base having a receptacle area formed therein;
- an aerator having an effluent port opening from said base;
- a container removably received within said receptacle area of said base, said container having an influent port opening at a bottom of said container, said influent port being cooperative with said effluent port;
- and
- an air delivery channel formed in an interior of said container, said air delivery channel communicating with said influent port such that air from said aerator passes into said air delivery channel through said effluent port and said influent port, said receptacle area comprising a circular area formed in a top surface of said base, said circular area having a size and shape corresponding to a size and shape of the bottom of said container, said circular area having a downwardly extending lip formed therefrom, said circular area having a radially outwardly extending slotted area, said lip being at an opposite side of said circular area from said slotted area.
A water aerator apparatus comprising:
- a base having a receptacle area formed therein;
- an aerator having an effluent port opening from said base;
- a container removably received within said receptacle area of said base, said container having an influent port opening at a bottom of said container, said influent port being cooperative with said effluent port;
- and
- an air delivery channel formed in an interior of said container, said air delivery channel communicating with said influent port such that air from said aerator passes into said air delivery channel through said effluent port and said influent port, said base having a vent formed in a wall thereof, said vent opening so as to allow air from an exterior of said base to pass to said aerator.
