An upward movement of the flow control assembly pushes away a closure member sitting on the bore. A guidance section is formed below the bore. The flow control assembly includes a flow guide section corresponding to the guidance section. When the flow control assembly is moved upward, the guidance section and the flow guide section collectively form a water passage. A brewing liquid contained in the receptacle, when discharged through the bore, is shielded by the water passage and is confined and concentrated for smooth flow thereby eliminate the occurrence of leak, splash, and overflow of the brewing liquid. | 01-24-2013 |
20130019755 | BREWING DEVICE - The brewing device contains a container and a functional unit beneath the container conductive to the container. The functional unit contains a pressure section and an exit section. The pressure section is conductive to and is smaller than the container. The pressure section is configured with air holes for drawing outside air. The exit section is conductive to and is smaller than the exit section. As the brewed liquid (such as the coffee brewed from the coffee powder) flows through the pressure section, it undergoes a pre-determined pressure through the air holes. Additionally, the container and the functional unit jointly achieve Venturi effect so that the brewed liquid is sped up under greater pressure difference as it passes through the exit section. As such, the molecules of the brewed liquid are activated and thinned to achieve enhanced flavor. | 01-24-2013 |
