ABSTRACT:
A tea strainer for use in straining tea while it is poured into a teacup, which may be sitting in a saucer. A bowl-like sieve member, provided with projections for engaging the lip of the cup, also has a handle which is made in two parts connected together by a hinge. The hinge is so located that the outer portion of the handle can swing downwardly into contact with the table on which the cup rests. The inner handle portion is sufficiently long so that it lies normally beyond the diameter of the saucer when the cup is sitting in the saucer. The hinge is stiff enough so that it ordinarily must be manually and purposely moved from one position to another. When held in the hand, the tea strainer functions as a normal tea strainer with a stiff handle, but when placed in the cup and the handle moved about the hinge and put in contact with the table, it becomes self-supporting.
