Description
BEVERAGE CONTAINER FOR BREWING APPARATUS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a beverage container for use in a brewing machine.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The use of single cup brewing machines has become extremely popular for the past few years. The brewing machines are designed to brew a single cup of a drinking liquid.
Such liquids or beverages include coffee, tea, chug drinks, etc. It suffices to say that there are many different beverages which can be brewed in such a machine.
The brewing machine basically comprises means for receiving the base of the beverage to be brewed. For simplicity, reference herein will be made to coffee as the beverage, although, as mentioned above, many different beverages can be prepared in such machines.
Most of the brewing machines have a place to receive the ground coffee and to maintain the coffee in a desired location. The brewing liquid (typically hot water) is then passed through the ground coffee to produce the final beverage.
With the advent of such machines, there is a demand for pre-packaged doses of the ground coffee. Sometimes these are placed in a permanent mesh filter and other times, they are pre-packaged in a disposable filter.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide a pre-packaged beverage container for use with a brewing machine.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a beverage container for a brewing machine comprising a filter cup, the filter cup having a frame, the =
frame having an upper peripheral member and a lower peripheral member, the upper peripheral member including an upper wall extending thereabout, the upper peripheral member having at least one guide rib formed on an inner surface of the upper wall, a filter material adjacent the frame, the filter material permitting passage of a liquid therethrough, a cover for the filter cup, the cover being formed of a flexible material, the cover having an opening therein, the cover having a circular recess formed on a lower side of the cover, the circular recess being arranged to tightly receive the upper wall of the upper peripheral member, the circular recess having at least a first enlarged portion to receive the guide rib, the cover having first and second diametrically opposed ears extending outwardly therefrom, and a holder for the beverage container, the holder being sized to engage the filter cup to impede passage of air to the bottom of the holder, the holder having first and second recesses formed in a top wall thereof, the diametrically opposed ears seating in the first and second recesses.
The description of the instant invention will refer to coffee as the beverage being brewed. However, as previously mentioned, such brewing machines are utilized to prepare many different beverages and thus the present invention is not limited to the use of coffee.
Tea, hot cocoa and iced beverages may also be prepared. The brewing machine particularly adapted to receive the beverage container of the instant invention is that manufactured by Keurig.
The filter cup, as set forth above, has a frame which provides a plurality of openings and which openings are covered by a filter medium. The filter cup may be formed of any suitable material such as a metallic or plastic material with the latter being preferred. The filter medium may also be selected from those well known in the art.

The description of the instant invention will refer to coffee as the beverage being brewed. However, as previously mentioned, such brewing machines are utilized to prepare many different beverages and thus the present invention is not limited to the use of coffee.
Tea, hot cocoa and iced beverages may also be prepared. The brewing machine particularly adapted to receive the beverage container of the instant invention is that manufactured by Keurig.
The filter cup, as set forth above, has a frame which provides a plurality of openings and which openings are covered by a filter medium. The filter cup may be formed of any suitable material such as a metallic or plastic material with the latter being preferred. The filter medium may also be selected from those well known in the art. The selection of the
- 2 -particular filter material can depend on whether the filter cup is intended to be a single use or multi use. A preferred filter medium is a mesh type filter.
The filter cup has an upper peripheral member and a lower peripheral member.
Each of the peripheral members is preferably of a circular configuration with the upper peripheral member being larger than the lower peripheral member. The upper and lower peripheral members are connected by a pair of ribs extending therebetween. Due to the difference in size between the upper peripheral member and the lower peripheral member, the ribs will extend diagonally outwardly from the lower peripheral member to the upper peripheral member.
The upper peripheral member will include a wall. The first and second ribs are formed so as to form guide ribs on the inner portion of the wall for reasons which will become apparent hereinbelow. While reference is being made herein to a pair of ribs, more may be utilized if so desired. However, so doing would reduce the area through which the liquid could exit from the interior of the filter cup.
Extending outwardly from the wall is a flange, which flange will aid in the sealing of the filter cup with the cover member.
The base of the filter cup may either be closed or open as desired. Naturally, when open it provides a larger area for the liquid to exit from the filter cup.
The cover, as aforementioned, is formed of a flexible material. The nature of the material permits the sealing between the filter cup and the cover. Such flexible materials can include natural rubber, synthetic rubbers, silicone, etc. The cover includes means to permit the injection of the liquid to the filter cup. Accordingly, there is provided a slit which is resealable. In other words, the nozzle may be placed through the slit with sides

Accordingly, there is provided a slit which is resealable. In other words, the nozzle may be placed through the slit with sides
-3 -, , , giving way to permit the nozzle to enter, but also to permit the top to reseal itself.
Most of the top will be relatively thick while the nature of the slit demands that the area therearound be relatively thin. Accordingly, there may be provided a recess in the top, the recess containing the slit. Alternatively, material could be removed from the bottom in the area of the slit. The slit, in a preferred embodiment, has a Y-shaped configuration.
The cover will also have at least one ear and preferably a pair of ears extending outwardly therefrom. The ears are intended to locate the cover in the correct position with respect to the holder.
There is provided a recess, which is preferably of a circular nature, in the bottom of the cover. This recess is designed to receive the upper wall and outwardly extending flange on the upper peripheral member to ensure a tight seal is achieved. In one portion of the recess, there are provided secondary recesses to receive the guide ribs formed on the circular wall. These guide ribs ensure that the cover and filter cup are properly located with respect to each other.
There is also provided a holder for the beverage container, the holder being formed of a suitable material such as a plastic material. The holder is designed to receive the filter cup and cover. The walls of the holder extend upwardly at an angle different than that for the filter cup whereby the bottom peripheral member will seal against the walls of the holder to be hermetically sealed and to prevent air passing therethrough. The holder will also have recesses formed in a top wall thereof to receive and engage the diametrically opposed ears.
