Abstract

A holder for filter bags for preparing tea and similar beverages. A clamping body is provided which is embodied in a manner similar to a hair clip, and has three legs which extend approximately parallel to one another. The two outer legs are preloaded relative to one another in a known manner in such a way that they can be brought out of one stable end position (closed position) by closing the angular aperture between the central leg and the two outer legs into the other stable end position (closed position), in which respective slot-like, narrow openings remain between the edges of the central leg and the respectively adjacent edges of the two outer legs. Also provided is a chain, one end of which is fastened to the clamping body, and the other end of which is provided with a hook which is suitable for fastening the chain on components of a brewing container.
