| Title: |
Infuser Tea Pot |
| Abstract: |
An automatic system for removing tea from a teapot is disclosed. The
present invention incorporates the use of a timing mechanism, a release
mechanism and an infuser mechanism to automatically remove the tea from
hot water. The timing mechanism is user set and controls the length of
time the tea is steeped in hot water. The infuser mechanism comprises a
filter element that holds the tea in contact with the hot water and a
counterbalance that rotates the filter element out of the water when
released and the release mechanism that releases the infuser mechanism
when the time has expired.
