A water kettle having a receptacle (1) with an inner space (2) for receiving water (3) therein and with a pouring spout (4) for pouring water from the inner space (2). The water kettle is further provided with a particle catcher (9) for catching particles from the water in the kettle. The particle catcher (9) has an inlet (11) for catching descending particles (13) which faces upwards when the kettle is in an upright position. This causes loose particles to be caught from the water and to be retained particularly effectively. Furthermore, a particle catcher for use in such a water kettle is described.

1. A water kettle comprising:a receptacle (1; 121) with an inner space (2) for accommodating water (3) therein; a pouring spout (4) for pouring water (3) from the inner space (2); and a particle catcher (9; 39; 69; 99; 139) for catching particles (13, 14; 133) from water in the kettle, characterized in that the particle catcher (9; 39; 69; 99; 139) is situated in an outer region of the inner space (2) of the reeptacle (1; 121); in which a downward flow is obtained during heating of water in the kettle is in an upright position, the particle catcher (9; 39; 69; 99; 139) having an inlet (11; 101; 131) for catching the descending particles (13, 14; 133) which is directed upwards when the kettle is in an upright position. 2. A water kettle as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a filter (8; 38; 68) for filtering water (3) during pouring, wherein the particle catcher (9; 39; 69) in the pouring state is situated upstream of the filter (8; 38; 68), and wherein the inlet (11) is situated below the filter (8; 38; 68) for catching descending particles (13, 14) in the region of the filter (8; 38; 68) when the kettle is in an upright position.3. A water kettle as claimed in claim 2, wherein the inlet (11) of the particle catcher (9; 39; 69) is positioned such that a passage of particles (13, 14) between the filter (8; 38; 68) and the inlet (11) is prevented.4. A water kettle as claimed in claim 3, wherein the inlet (11) of the particle catcher (9; 39; 69) directly adjoins the filter (8; 38; 68) substantially along its entire side situated at the side of the filter (8; 38; 68), or directly adjoins a wall extending in downward direction from the filter (8; 38; 68).5. A water kettle as claimed in claim 2, wherein the filter (8; 38; 68) has a filter passage (16) with a given total width, and wherein the inlet (11) of the particle catcher (9; 39; 69) is wider than said given total width of the filter passage (16).6. A water kettle as claimed in claim 1, further comprising at least one guide (19; 49; 79; 139) above the inlet (11; 101; 131) of the particle catcher (9; 39; 69; 99; 129).7. A water kettle as claimed in claim 2, wherein the guide is situated inward of the filter (8; 38; 68).8. A water kettle as claimed in claim 6, wherein the guide comprises at least one guiding blade (19; 49; 139) which, with the water kettle in an upright position, extends from top to bottom in an obliquely sloping outward direction towards a region situated above the inlet (11; 131).9. A water kettle as claimed in claim 6, further comprising at least two individual guides (19; 49; 139), one situated at least partly above the other, when the water kettle is in the upright position.10. A water kettle as claimed in claim 2, wherein the filter (8) and the particle catcher (9) form part of an assembly (21; 71) which can be taken from the receptacle (1), and wherein a wall portion (22) of the particle catcher (9) is displaceable with respect to the filter (8) so as to provide a passage (23) in the particle catcher (9) other than the inlet (11).11. A water kettle as claimed in claim 10, wherein the movable wall portion of the particle catcher (99) can be shifted with respect to the filter (8).12. A water kettle as claimed in claim 11, further comprising a lid (65) which is provided with a recess through which said assembly (71) can be taken out and which is substantially filled up by said assembly (71) in the operational state for closing off an upper side of the kettle.13. A water kettle as claimed in claim 1, comprising at least two said particle catchers (129), each integrated with guiding blades (139), which guiding blades (139) are situated one above the other and define channels (149) which have a bend or comer in a central particle catcher portion (129), said central particle catcher portion (129) at the same time forming a lowermost portion of the channel (149).14. An assembly (21) of a particle catcher (9) and a filter (8) for a water kettle,the filter (8) having filter passages (16) for filtering water which passes through the filter, and guides (19) for guiding the water which passes through the filter, the particle catcher (9) having an inlet (11), for catching particles (13) from the water which passes through the filter, the particle catcher (9) situated so that particles (13) descending from the water which passes through the filter (8) descend into particle catcher (9) through the inlet (11).
