  • Patent number: 6651824
    Abstract: The pitcher body takes a standard form to hold a beverage for storage. Mounted within the pitcher body is a filter assembly including a reservoir section, an outlet, and a filter element located operatively prior to the outlet. Additionally, a water-tight sealing cap is provided to seal the outlet. With the sealing cap removed, the filter assembly operates as normal, filtering water from the reservoir section to the pitcher body. With the sealing cap blocking the outlet, the reservoir section may be used as an ice hopper to cool the filtered water without contamination. The filter element may also be removed if the sealing cap blocks the outlet to provide increased capacity for holding ice.
