Beverage making device and a system for making a beverage
A beverage making device including a container, the container comprising a base, a lid removably attached to the container, a plunger assembly including a filter, a first magnetic arrangement disposed on or within the plunger assembly, the plunger assembly being movable between a depressed position and an undepressed position, a second magnetic arrangement disposed on or within the container, wherein the first magnetic arrangement and the second magnetic arrangement retain the plunger assembly in the depressed position due to attraction forces between the first magnetic arrangement and the second magnetic arrangement.
1 . A beverage making device comprising:
a container,
a plunger assembly comprising:
a filter,
the plunger assembly being moveable between a depressed position and an undepressed position,
a first magnetic arrangement
a second magnetic arrangement,
wherein the first magnetic arrangement and the second magnetic arrangement retain the plunger assembly in the depressed position due to attraction forces between the first magnetic arrangement and the second magnetic arrangement,
wherein the plunger assembly further comprises:
a base plate
a top plate
the filter positioned between the base plate and the top plate,
a plunger rod moveable within the container between a depressed position and an undepressed position,
the base plate coupled to a base of the plunger rod,
the first magnetic arrangement disposed on the base plate or the top plate,
the top plate and the filter coupled to the plunger rod,
wherein a movement of the plunger rod causes the top plate, base plate, and the filter to move, and
the base plate being urged adjacent the base of the container and holding the base plate adjacent the base of the container due to attraction between the first magnetic arrangement and the second magnetic arrangement.
2 . The beverage making device in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the first magnetic arrangement comprises one or more magnets.
3 . The beverage making device in accordance with claim 2 , wherein the first magnetic arrangement comprises the base plate and/or the top plate and/or the filter being formed of a ferrous material.
4 . The beverage making device in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the first magnetic arrangement is positioned on the plunger assembly.
5 . A beverage making device, comprising:
a container,
a plunger assembly comprising:
a filter,
the plunger assembly being moveable between a depressed position and an undepressed position,
a first magnetic arrangement
a second magnetic arrangement
wherein the first magnetic arrangement and the second magnetic arrangement retain the plunger assembly in the depressed position due to attraction forces between the first magnetic arrangement and the second magnetic arrangement;
wherein the second magnetic arrangement comprises one or more magnets;
wherein the second magnetic arrangement comprises a base of the container being formed of a ferrous material or the base of the container including a ferrous material sheet attached to the base;
wherein the one or more magnets of the first magnetic arrangement are of opposing polarity to the one or more magnets of the second magnetic arrangement;
wherein the first magnetic arrangement comprising one or more disc shaped magnets disposed on a base plate and/or a top plate, the second magnetic arrangement comprising one or more disc shaped magnets disposed on the base of the container,
wherein the one or more disc shaped magnets of the first magnetic arrangement and the one or more disc shaped magnets of the second magnetic arrangement are arranged such that the one or more disc shaped magnets of the first magnetic arrangement and the one or more disc shaped magnets of the second magnetic arrangement substantially align and exert a magnetic attraction when the plunger assembly is in a depressed position;
wherein the base plate comprises a body, a recess formed on a upper surface of the body, the recess dimensioned to receive the filter and the top plate, and
wherein when the plunger is moved to a depressed position, the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic attraction and the second magnetic attraction causing the top plate and filter to be urged into the recess, the magnetic attraction further retaining the base plate in a depressed position and the top plate and filter in the recess to isolate particulates collected beneath the base plate and the beverage within the container.
6 . The beverage making device in accordance with claim 5 , wherein the base of the container comprises a magnet chamber that is connected to a bottom of the container, and the second magnetic arrangement disposed within the magnet chamber such that the second magnetic arrangement within the magnet chamber is isolated from contents of the container.
7 . The beverage making device in accordance with claim 5 , wherein the first magnetic arrangement is positioned on the plunger assembly.
8 . A beverage making device comprising:
a container and a lid being coupleable to the container,
a plunger assembly comprising:
a filter and a top plate,
the plunger assembly being moveable between a depressed position and an undepressed position,
a first magnetic arrangement
a second magnetic arrangement, wherein the second magnetic arrangement is disposed on or within the lid,
wherein the first magnetic arrangement and the second magnetic arrangement retain the plunger assembly in the depressed position due to attraction forces between the first magnetic arrangement and the second magnetic arrangement;
wherein the plunger assembly is retained in a depressed position due to attraction between the first magnetic arrangement and the second magnetic arrangement such that the top plate is retained on the lid due to the magnetic attraction.
9 . The beverage making device in accordance with claim 8 , wherein the first magnetic arrangement and the second magnetic arrangement comprise one or more magnets.
10 . The beverage making device in accordance with claim 9 , wherein the one or more magnets comprise disc shaped magnets.
11 . The beverage making device in accordance with claim 10 , wherein the first magnetic arrangement and the second magnetic arrangement is outside the container.
12 . The beverage making device in accordance with claim 8 , wherein the first magnetic arrangement is positioned on the plunger assembly.
