PERSONAL COLLAPSIBLE DEVICE FOR WATER PURIFICATION

Abstract

The object of the invention is a personal and foldable device for the purification of water, which is used to filter water by means of the action of a removable filter whose function is to filter the water obtained in any medium, in order to improve the conditions of the same and make it suitable for human consumption.

This device is fundamentally conceived to facilitate its use in any place due to its particular compact and deployable configuration that makes it easily transportable, maintaining the water filtering and purifying performance for which it has been conceived.

The device comprises an upper body or deployable filter, which incorporates the filter and a lower body or carrier, deployable and removable with respect to the upper body, in which this lower body consists of a container itself that is designed to consume the purified water that passes through the filter of the upper body.

Purified water collection container (16) whose mouth or gland adapts to the thread (12) of the toroidal recess (11).

2.sup.a. A personal and foldable device for water purification, according to the 1st claim and characterized in that the upper cylindrical piece (20) symmetrical of the fixed base (3) also has a toroidal recess (14) with a thread (19).

Description

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] To complement the description being made and in order to aid in a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, two sheets of drawings are attached as an integral part of said description, in which the following has been illustrated for illustrative purposes and without limitation:

[0028] FIG. 1. Shows a sectional view of the device in the situation of coupling of the lower body with the upper body, in which both are also folded and the device closed by the upper and lower covers.

[0029] FIG. 2. Shows a sectional view of the device without covers and with the upper part displaced.

[0030] FIG. 3. Shows a sectional view of the device without lids, which is ready to store the purified water, introduced through its upper part and stored in the lower body.

[0031] FIG. 4. Shows a sectional side view of the device with a bottle attached to the lower part that collects the purified water.

[0032] And these figures show the following elements: [0033] (1)—upper body, [0034] (2)—lower body [0035] (3)—fixed base, [0036] (4)—upper flange of the fixed base, [0037] (5)—removable filter, [0038] (6), (7), (8) and (9)—telescopically extendable tubular elements, [0039] (10)—flange of the fixed base (3), [0040] (11)—toroidal recess, [0041] (12)—thread, [0042] (13)—water outlet holes, [0043] (14)—recesses of the upper cylindrical part (20), [0044] (15)—through micro-perforations, [0045] (16)—purified water collection container, [0046] (17)—lower lid, [0047] (18)—upper lid), [0048] (19)—thread, [0049] (20)—cylindrical upper part,

PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

[0050] The device for the purification of water, foldable and personal, which constitutes the object of this invention is used to filter the water obtained in any medium and by means of the action of a removable filter whose function is to filter the water to improve the conditions of water for human consumption is constituted by the following elements:

[0051] The device object of this invention comprises fundamentally an upper body (1) and a lower body (2) detachable with respect to the upper body (1).

[0052] The upper body (1) is formed by several tubular pieces (6), (7), (8) and (9) which can be telescopically folded upwards.

[0053] The lower body (2) consists of a receptacle (2) open at the bottom and with a removable filter (5) at the top, which has a handle (21) to facilitate its removal and exchange.

[0054] The lower body (2) rests on a fixed base (3) consisting of a cylindrical piece of a height approximately half that of the upper body (1) and with an upper flange (4) with a flange (10) and with a toroidal recess (11) with a thread (12) on its lower part and with several holes (13) for the water outlet, which is introduced through the upper part of the body (1) and which, after passing through the filter (5), exits through the holes (13).

[0055] This assembly thus constituted, when in folded position, has a cylindrical upper part (20) of similar height to that of the fixed base (3) and symmetrical with it where the perimeter recesses (14) of the same fit perfectly with the perimeter recesses (10) of the fixed base (3), so that once the parts (3) and (12) are coupled, the device is hermetically sealed.

[0056] The upper cylindrical part (12) also has a toroidal recess (14) with a thread (19).

[0057] In the thread (12) of the toroidal recess (11) can be adapted a container (16) which is intended to collect the purified water that after passing through the filter (5) exits through the holes (13) and is collected in said container.

[0058] The device also comprises an upper cover (18) and a lower cover (17), intended to be coupled, on the upper and lower face respectively of the base (3), and of the part (20) when the device is in the folded position of the upper body (1) and of the lower body (2); by means of threading on the threads (19) and (12) existing in both and which have some through micro-perforations (15) on their upper surface, intended to avoid micro-condensations.

[0059] Having sufficiently described the nature of the invention, as well as the manner of carrying it out in practice, it should be noted that the above provisions.

[0060] The claims indicated and depicted in the attached drawings are subject to modifications in detail insofar as they do not alter the fundamental principle summarized in the following claims.
