Apertures define the sidewalls of the infuser body subassemblies to permit liquid inside the drinking liquid dispenser to enter and egress the body cavity. A cap subassembly, which is coupled to the infuser body subassemblies detachably attaches to an opening of the drinking liquid dispenser so that the infuser body subassemblies are fully immersed in the cavity of the drinking liquid dispenser. The cap subassembly has a concave curved shape to enable uniform flowage of the liquid through an infused solution intake member.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2018Publication date: July 4, 2019Inventor: Michael Evans Redington

Publication number: 20190200801Abstract: A beverage brewing device is configured to brew beverages such as coffee and tea. A brewing canister having a filter at a bottom end is held partially within a receiving beaker, and a seal is created between the canister outer surface and the beaker inner surface. Brewing media such as coffee grounds and brewing fluid such as hot water are added to the canister, mixed, and allowed to brew. At a desired time, the receiving beaker is moved relative to the brewing canister so that the brewing canister is partially removed from the receiving beaker. As such, a vacuum is formed between the bottom end of the brewing canister and the receiving beaker. The filter stops brewing media from flowing into the receiving beaker, but the vacuum draws the brewed beverage through the brewing media and filter and into the receiving beaker.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2019Publication date: July 4, 2019Inventor: David Harper
