Abstract:
1. A personal filtration device for removable mounting on a water discharging spout for dispensing drinking water for personal consumption, the personal filtration device comprising: (a) a filter device for sealingly mounting on the water discharging spout and externally extending therefrom, and having an activated filter component for filtering water passing from the water discharging spout to a discharge port for dispensing drinking water; (b) a manually operated filter cap for selectively opening and closing said discharge port for correspondingly enabling and disabling dispensing drinking water from said discharge port; (c) a sealing arrangement for selectively hermetically sealing said activated filter component in a sealed environment; and (d) a discrete tubular sleeve including a resiliently elastic tubular universal adapter for sealingly slidingly stretching onto a water discharging spout for removably sealingly mounting said filter device thereon wherein said sleeve has a dual material construction including a rigid plastic tubular fitment integrally formed with said resiliently elastic tubular universal adapter, whereby said sleeve enables said filter device to be removably sealingly mounted on water discharging spouts of different external diameters.
