Portable, dual-orifice filtered water dispenser
View Patent ↗A portable water-filtering and storage dispenser is provided with twin orifices at top and bottom, the top orifice for dispensing water to a user for consumption, the bottom orifice for receiving water for filtration and storage. Water received via the bottom orifice is filtered by a dome filter and keyway insert. Both orifices are sealable with detachable caps for threadably mating with the body of the dispenser.
1. A portable water dispenser, the water dispenser comprising:
a transparent cylindrical bottle member defining two open ends having a threaded top, a threaded bottom, and a first diameter, the cylindrical bottle member narrowing at the threaded top and the threaded bottom;
wherein the cylindrical bottle member narrows to a second diameter less than the first diameter at the threaded bottom;
wherein the cylindrical bottle member narrows to a third diameter less than both the first diameter and the second diameter at the threaded top;
a top cap for engaging the threaded top and for closing one of the two open ends;
a dome-shaped water filter;
a cylindrical keyway insert;
a water bottle gasket; and
a bottom cap for engaging the threaded bottom, the bottom cap defining a hollow recess for cupping the dome-shaped water filter, the keyway insert, and the water bottle gasket;
wherein the bottom cap is detachable for introduction of unfiltered water to the water dispenser;
wherein each of the dome-shaped water filter, the keyway insert and the water bottle gasket are disposed between the threaded bottom and the bottom cap.
2. The water dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the dome-shaped filter defines a plurality of apertures for filtering water.
3. The water dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the keyway insert defines a plurality of apertures for filtering water.
4. The water dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the top cap defines a hollow recess for receiving the threaded top.
5. The water dispenser of claim 1 , wherein the dome-shaped filter defines an open base end circumscribed by an annular flange, the annular flange interiorly-threaded for mating with exterior threading on an exterior of the keyway insert.
6. The water dispenser of claim 5 , wherein the keyway insert defines an open end traversed by a cross member for engaging the fingers of a user and facilitating axial rotations and detachment of the exterior threading from the dome-shaped filter.
7. A portable water dispenser, the water dispenser comprising:
a transparent cylindrical bottle member defining two open ends having a threaded top and a threaded bottom;
