ABSTRACT:
A combined cover and strainer assembly for a coffee/tea pot includes a substantially dome-shaped hollow outer cover, a connecting rod slidably passing through the outer cover, a handle connected to one end of the connecting rod, a substantially dome-shaped perforated casing having an open end and an apex with an opening for receiving the second end of the connecting rod, and a perforated strainer disposed at the open end of the perforated casing. The perforated casing has an outwardly and radially extending flange with a hook section formed at the open end of the same. The second end of the connecting rod is fixed to the perforated casing. The strainer is rotatably hinged to the perforated casing and has a side releasably engaged with the hook section when the strainer covers the open end of the perforated casing to prevent the untimely separation of the strainer from the perforated casing. The handle has a flat top surface so that the combined assembly can be placed on top of a table during replenishment. The combined assembly further comprises resilient clamping jaws extending axially and inwardly at the apex of the outer cover to resiliently clamp the connecting rod. Infusion of tea or coffee into the liquid contained inside the pot is easily stopped by pulling the handle to raise the perforated casing above the water level.
