Carafe

摘要

A carafe has a flask and a lid assembly. The flask has a vessel. The lid assembly has a plug lid with an outlet port, a limiting bracket with a guiding channel and at least one outlet, and a sealing ball mounted in the guiding channel. The limiting bracket is mounted in the outlet port of the plug lid and is connected to the plug lid. When an opening of the vessel faces upward, the sealing ball slides downward to seal the outlet port of the plug lid. When the vessel tilts and the opening of the vessel faces downward, the outlet port of the plug lid is open, so that liquid in the vessel can flow out of the vessel. A user does not have to press or turn the lid assembly. Therefore, it is convenient to pour liquid out of the vessel.

主权项

1. A carafe comprising:
a flask having a vessel, the vessel having
an opening; andan upper peripheral edge surrounding the opening of the vessel; a lid assembly detachably mounted in the opening of the vessel and including
a plug lid detachably attached to the upper peripheral edge of the vessel in a watertight manner and having an outlet port, the outlet port having a lower end and an upper end, wherein an interior of the vessel communicates with an exterior of the vessel via the outlet port;a limiting bracket mounted in the outlet port of the plug lid, connected to the plug lid, and having
a guiding channel communicating with the interior of the vessel via the lower end of the outlet port of the plug lid; andat least one outlet, the guiding channel communicating with the upper end of the outlet port of the plug lid via the at least one outlet; anda sealing ball slidably mounted in the guiding channel of the limiting bracket, a diameter of the sealing ball being larger than a diameter of the lower end of the outlet port of the plug lid, such that the sealing ball selectively seals the lower end of the outlet port of the plug lid; wherein when the opening of the vessel faces upward, the sealing ball slides downward due to the gravity and seals the lower end of the outlet port of the plug lid; and when the vessel tilts and the opening of the vessel faces downward, the sealing ball slides away from the lower end of the outlet port of the plug lid due to the gravity, and the lower end of the outlet port is open and liquid in the vessel can flow through the outlet port of the plug lid and the at least one outlet of the limiting bracket to flow out of the vessel.
