Abstract:
A tea flushing device comprising:a cup body the bottom of which having a cone shape inclined surface, a through hole being installed in the center of the bottom, a flange with a proper height being extended from the periphery of the cup bottom, a plurality of symmetric vertical long holes being formed on the wall surface of the flange, and a plurality of paired and symmetric foot plates being extended from the flange;a filtering net being installed in the bottom of the cup body;a buckling disk being formed with a ring having a diameter slightly smaller than the flange of the cup, the peripheral wall of the ring being installed with a plurality of symmetric buckling posts so as to be inserted into the respective long holes of the flange in the cup body, thus, the cup body and the buckling disk is capable of being lifted or descended, a rod being further installed in the center of the ring, and a plurality of through holes for being penetrating by the foot plates are installed on the buckling disk adjacent to the ring;a water stopper, this water stopper further comprising a soft water stopping pad installed at the through hole on the bottom of the cup body and a metal rolling ball placed on the through hole of the water stopping pad, wherein the water stopping pad facing the top surface of the rolling ball and near the through hole installed with a circular slot so as to be isolated and formed with a thinner water stopping ring;wherein, when the cup body is flatly arranged on the plane, by supporting of the foot plate, the buckling disk will slide downwards along the long hole due to action of gravitation force and then the water stopper is released so that the water stopper will resist against the through hole because of the water pressure and the gravitational itself, and thus water is tightly sealed, when the tea flushing device is placed on any container with a proper diameter, the buckling disk will be resisted by the container so that the water stopper moves away from the through hole, and thus the liquid within the cup will be filtered by the filtering net and then the liquid will flow into the container through the through hole.
