Water purifying apparatus and filter structure
First Claim
1. A water purifying apparatus, comprising:
- a head having a water inlet portion and a water outlet portion formed thereon to face each other;
a mounting member on which a rotation supporting portion is formed;
a water inlet pipe and a water outlet pipe which are connected to the mounting member;
a shaft provided in the head, the shaft being rotatably mounted between the water inlet portion and the water outlet portion;
a bypass flow path formed to pass through a circumference of the shaft, the bypass flow path having a flow path projecting portion, the bypass flow path communicably coupling the water inlet portion with the water outlet portion according to a rotation of the shaft;
a filter detachably mounted to the head and having a filter inserting portion in which the shaft is inserted; and
a filtering flow path in which an inlet port and an outlet port are formed on the circumference of the shaft in a direction intersecting the bypass flow path, the filtering flow path communicably coupling the filter with the water inlet portion and the water outlet portion according to the rotation of the shaft.

15. A water purifying apparatus, comprising:
-
a head having a water inlet portion and a water outlet portion; a shaft provided in the head, the shaft being rotatably mounted between the water inlet portion and the water outlet portion; a bypass flow path formed to pass through a circumference of the shaft, the bypass flow path communicably coupling the water inlet portion with the water outlet portion according to a rotation of the shaft; a filtering flow path formed in the shaft and separated from the bypass flow path; an inner pipe that extends downward from the shaft, the inner pipe having a pipe cutout portion at an end portion thereof and connected to the filtering flow path; a filter detachably mounted to the head, the filter having a filter inserting portion to receive the shaft; a supporter extending portion forming a first filter inlet flow path which is connected to the inner pipe and provided in the filter; and a first connecting portion formed on an upper portion of the supporter extending portion to rotate the shaft upon coupling of the filter by coupling with the pipe cutout portion. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
