An infusing device has a handle 2, a squeezing head 8 carried by a plunger 3, and a receptacle for holding a bag containing an infusible substance such as tea, coffee or herbs. The receptacle may include a number of elongate cage elements 10 which are pivotally secured to the handle 2 passing through apertures in the periphery of the squeezing head 8. The plunger is internally biased by oppositely-acting spring elements so that movement in one direction opens the cage for insertion and removal of a tea bag or the like, and movement in the opposite direction squeezes the bag between the head 8 and the tips of the elements 10. In another embodiment the cage elements are moved independently of the plunger by means of an internal sleeve within the handle. Devices are also described in which the squeezing head is fixed with the handle and the cage elements are pivotally secured to an internal plunger, and in which the cage is replaced by a receptacle having perforated relatively movable parts. |
