To further clarify advantages and features of the present invention, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof, which is illustrated in the appended drawings. It is appreciated that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope. The invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail with the accompanying drawings.
Currently available products include portable water filters like the LifeStraw and Sawyer Mini, which use hollow fiber membranes to filter contaminants. Additionally, bottle filters such as the Brita Filter Bottle and GraylUltrapress are popular for personal water filtration on the go. These solutions are widely used for outdoor activities and travel.
Existing solutions, such as the LifeStraw and Brita Filter Bottle, fall short by often being limited to specific use cases like drinking directly from the filter or purifying small amounts of water. They may not be adaptable for various containers (like taps or jugs), and some require frequent filter replacements, which can be inconvenient and costly for regular use. Additionally, many do not effectively filter out certain contaminants like algae found in overhead tanks.

The portable water purifier consists of several key components that work together to ensure effective filtration and purification of water. The core components include a sieve, carbon granules, and a cotton layer, each designed to address different contaminants in the water. These components are housed within a compact, round-shaped body, making the purifier lightweight and easy to attach to a variety of water containers, such as bottles, taps, and jugs. The design allows for flexibility, providing users with a versatile solution to purify water in different environments.
The purifier's filtration process begins with the sieve layer, which is positioned at the top of the system. This sieve serves as the first line of defense, removing larger particles and sediments from the incoming water. By trapping these larger contaminants, the sieve prevents them from interfering with the finer filtration stages that follow. Water then flows through the carbon granules layer, where it is further purified. The carbon granules effectively filter out chemicals, impurities, and unwanted odors from the water, enhancing its taste and making it safer for consumption. This stage is particularly useful for removing chlorine, pesticides, and other chemicals commonly found in untreated water.
After passing through the carbon granules, the water moves into the cotton layer, which acts as the final filtration stage. The cotton layer is designed to remove finer impurities that may remain after the water has passed through the sieve and carbon granules. This multi-layer filtration system ensures that even small contaminants, including bacteria and viruses, are effectively filtered out, leaving the water clean and purified. The purified water then flows out of the purifier and is ready for consumption, completing the filtration process.
The purifier operates without the need for electricity, making it ideal for use in remote areas, during outdoor activities, or in emergency situations. Its non-electric operation ensures that it remains functional even when power is unavailable. Additionally, the entire system is manual and easy to use. Users can simply attach the purifier to a water source, such as a bottle or tap, and allow water to flow through the filtration system. The compact design allows for quick attachment and portability, ensuring that it can be easily carried and used on-the-go. Overall, the purifier combines simplicity, efficiency, and versatility, making it an essential tool for anyone in need of clean drinking water in various settings.
This invention provides limitations of current solutions where the proposed water purifier has a portable design which allows it to be clipped in water sources like bottles, taps, and jugs. In contrast to many present-day portable water purifiers, this one is universal and may be used with any container, which increases the product’s utility for travelers and people that live in regions where water is poisonous.
1. Compact and Portable Design: The purifier is round shaped and portable since one can fit it into a pocket hence recommended for travelling and out door activities. Due to its basic structure, it is mounted to bottles, taps, or jigs and provides the flexibility in different surroundings.
2. Filtration Process: The purifier applies multiple stage method for purification:
a. Cotton Layer: The first of them is cotton layer which filter out large particles and sediments from the water and let it to pass through.
b. Carbon Granules: The subsequent is composed of carbon grains, which get rid of unwanted elements in water besides enhancing its taste by eliminating chemical smells.
c. Sieve: To prevent contamination of the filtration process, a pre-coat sieve is placed before the cotton as well as the carbon layer.
3. Non-Electric Operation: The purifier works independently of electricity; therefore excellent in areas with mobilities and in the course of travels.
4. Ease of Use: It can be easily connected to a water source and operated by hand, and will produce purified water in minutes. There is a basic filtration mechanism it means it can be easily cleaned and maintained.
It takes water at the top and let it flow through a sieve to drop away large particles that it may encounter. It then passes through carbon grains hence filtering out wanted elements, chemicals together with other smells that would make it better to consume. Last, but not least, small impurities are filtered by the cotton layer then washed water is obtained to be used for drinking. The whole process is fast and occurs without the involvement of intricate systems and even electrical energy. This design means that instead of having to rely on tissues, water fountains, or taps in emergency situations, people will be able to purify and have clean drinking water wherever they are, at a low cost and in a easy to carry package.
• A Compact Non-Electric Water Purifier with Multi-Layer Filtration for Versatile use comprising a sieve, a carbon grains, a cotton layer, wherein the system takes water at the top and let it flow through the sieve to drop away large particles that it may encounter.
• In another embodiment then water passes through the carbon grain hence filtering out wanted elements, chemicals together with other smells that would make it better to consume.
