ABSTRACT:
A tea infusing device comprises a cup body, a filtering net, a buckling disk, and a water stopping device. The water stopping device is received in the center through hole of the cup body, and is formed by a metal rolling ball and a soft water stopping pad, or a water stopping block and a rod. A filtering net is installed thereon. A circular protruding ring portion with a proper height extends downwards from the bottom of the cup body. The buckling disk has a rod at the center thereof and is movable upwards and downwards. When the tea infusing device is arranged on a plane, the buckling disk will drop down naturally so that the water stopping device will close a through hole. Thus, the tea can be soaked in the cup. However, when the tea infusing device is located at any proper container. The buckling disk will be ejected by the container to eject the water stopping device so that tea water may flow to the container successfully. The improvement of the present invention is that the outer diameter of the buckling disk is smaller than the inner diameter of the protruding ring portion so that it can be completely received in the inner space thereof and longitudinally moves therein. Thus, water will not drain out due to an error contact to the buckling disk.
