Patent number: 11407652Abstract: The invention relates to container bodies configured to be used in filter-as-you-pour systems, where filtering is achieved as the user pours water from the container. Such container bodies may have an undivided internal storage volume, so as to not include a reservoir compartment for unfiltered water. They may be part of systems configured to filter water both as water is introduced into a container body of the system and as water is poured from the container body of the system. The filter assembly may be attached to the container body at a location proximate the outlet of the system. Filter media of the filter assembly may comprise an activated carbon textile material that presents a curved surface to water passing through the filter assembly. The container body may be configured as a pitcher, carafe, water bottle, jug, or other shaped container.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2019Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Brita LPInventors: Nikhil P.

Patent number: 10427951Abstract: In one example, a filter cartridge includes a housing having a fluid entry port and a fluid exit port, and the housing has a chamber in fluid communication with the fluid entry port and the fluid exit port. A first medium is disposed within the chamber and includes a material that serves to change the pH of a fluid passing through the first medium. A filtration medium is disposed in the chamber downstream of the first medium and arranged to receive effluent of the first medium. The filtration medium includes a material configured to remove a metal from a fluid passing through the filtration medium.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2016Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: Brita LPInventors: Nikhil P.

Patent number: 10351442Abstract: The invention relates to filter-as-you-pour water filtration container systems. Such a system may include a container body, an outlet through which water within the container body may be poured and simultaneously filtered, a lid that may be releasably attachable over the container body, and a filter assembly attachable to at least one of the lid or the container body. The filter assembly may be disposed so as to be in a flow stream of the water, as the water is poured out of the container body through an outlet of the system, so that the stream of water exiting through the outlet is simultaneously filtered as it is poured from the container body. The system may further include a flow control device (e.g., a valve, grating, screen, etc.) disposed proximate (e.g., in or over) the outlet to regulate an exit flow rate of water being poured through the outlet.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2014Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: Brita LPInventors: Nikhil P.

Patent number: 10178921Abstract: In one example, a water pitcher is provide that includes a candle defining a receptacle with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet and configured to removably receive a filter cartridge. As well, the candle includes a filter seat that cooperates with the filter cartridge to form a substantially fluid-tight seal when the filter cartridge is positioned in a sealing range defined by the candle. A filter management element is configured and arranged so that when the filter cartridge is aligned in the receptacle but resides outside the sealing range, and a force is exerted on the filter management element, the force is transferred to the filter cartridge by way of the filter management element so as to move the filter cartridge into the sealing range.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2014Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: Brita LPInventors: Edward B. Rinker, Jonathan McDonald

Patent number: 10125027Abstract: The invention relates to lid bodies configured to be used in filter-as-you-pour systems, where filtering is achieved as the user pours water from the container. Such lid bodies may be releasably attachable to the filter assembly through complementary locking structures of the lid body and the filter assembly so that the lid body may be selectively and releasably attached to the filter assembly. The lid bodies may also comprise a locking structure that is configured to releasably engage with a complementary locking structure of a container body. The lid bodies may also be configured to be directly connected to filter assemblies.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2014Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Brita LPInventors: Nikhil P.
