Abstract

A coffee filter extractor includes a flat disc-shaped portion having an adhesive surface thereon for contacting a coffee filter. A handle is attached to the disc for easy operation. The adhesive surface can be periodically replaced with new adhesive. A second embodiment of the invention has an adhesive coated portion at the lower end of an elongated strip. The upper portion of the strip may be decorated with an ornamental design.

Claims

1. A coffee filter extractor, comprising:

a handle portion having upper and lower ends;

an adhesive pad support means mounted at the lower end of said handle portion;

said support means including a plate means oriented perpendicularly to said handle portion, with the handle portion mounted to an upper surface thereof;

said plate means having a lower surface with a recess therein adapted for removably receiving an adhesive pad therein;

means on said plate means for selectively, removably retaining an adhesive pad in said recess; and

an adhesive pad means removably mounted in said plate recess, and having a lower surface adapted for removable adhesion to a coffee filter.

2. The coffee filter extractor of claim 1, wherein said plate means is resiliently bendable and said pad holding means includes a pair of diametrically disposed hook means releasably retaining said pad within said recess, said hook means being releasable from said pad upon the resilient bending of said plate means.

3. A coffee filter extractor, comprising:

an elongated strip of rigid material having upper and lower ends and forward and rearward surfaces;

an adhesive material mounted on the forward surface at the lower end of said strip, said adhesive material of a type adapted for removable adhesion to a coffee filter;

said adhesive material extending only partially along said forward surface, such that an adhesive-free portion remains at the upper end of said strip for gripping by a user.
