ABSTRACT:
A splash retaining assembly usable with a coffeemaker which has a spray head and a brew basket mountable directly therebelow within basket support guides. The spray retaining assembly includes a main plate extending horizontally and having a horizontal section with a main central aperture defined therein. Vertical sections at the laterally outermost edges of horizontal section extend downwardly and a lower lip extends inwardly from the lowermost end of the vertical sections in order to define with the vertical section and the horizontal section a longitudinal slot. In this manner the main plate is adapted to be positioned in the basket support guides to provide the splash plate and also to define longitudinal slots adapted to receive placement of the brew basket therein for normal operation thereof. A shield plate is secured to the main plate and has an outer section which is secured to the horizontal section of the main plate and an upper section which is generally arcuate having a downwardly facing concave surface and is adapted to be in close proximity with the spray head of the coffeemaker for shielding the coffeemaker from hot coffee vapors rising from the brew basket. The splash retaining assembly is maintained in place by a main biasing device for holding the main plate within the basket support guides and by a basket biasing means for retaining a brew basket within the longitudinal slots defined by the main plate.
