Abstract:
A tea infusing device comprising:a cup body having a through hole at the center of the bottom thereof, and a protruding ring portion with a proper height being extended from the periphery of the bottom of the cup body;a filtering net installed above the bottom of the cup body;a buckling disk having an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the protruding ring portion so as to be completely hidden in a space enclosed by the protruding ring portion and be movable longitudinally therein; the height of the disk being smaller than the height of the protruding ring portion so that even when the disk descends to a lowest point, it will not protrude out of the lower edge of the protruding ring portion; a plurality of fixing ribs being installed in the buckling disk for forming a plurality of via holes, and a rod capable of being inserted within the center of the disk being installed at the center of the disk;a water stopping device installed on the through hole at the bottom of the cup body, which can be ejected at a proper time by the rod of the buckling disk; whereinwhen the whole tea infusing device is flatly arranged on a plane and can be resisted against by the protruding ring portion, the buckling disk therewithin will descend by the gravitational force so that the rod will be pressed downwards to pass thorugh the through hole to drive the water stopping device to seal the through hole; when the tea infusing device is placed in a container having an opening with the diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the rod, the buckling disk will be ejected by the container so that the water stopping device is ejected to separate from the through hole by the rod.
