  • Patent number: 6394322
    Abstract: A water pitcher which is easily cleansed and kept clean is provided. The water pitcher for accommodating water and ice cubes includes a pitcher body having an upper portion providing a pouring lip, and a cover having a pouring cutout for pouring water and a window for refilling water and ice cubes. The pouring cutout of the cover is paired with the pouring lip of the pitcher body to form a restricted region for allowing water to flow therethrough and to prevent the ice cubes from leaving the water pitcher. The window for refilling water and ice cubes is located opposite to the pouring cutout. By providing protrusions to the interior of the pitcher body and respective holes and stoppers to the cover, the cover is thus stably mounted and easier removed from the pitcher body. Therefore, the cover can be removed away for cleansing. Furthermore, the cover can thus be prevented from dropping into the interior and can be safely rested at its predetermined position.
