Description

La présente invention concerne un conditionnement pour du café moulu, se présentant sous la forme de pastille, de dosette ou de sachet pré-dosé. Le conditionnement peut être utilisé dans des machines à café express adaptées à la réception de tel conditionnement de forme spécifique. The present invention relates to a packaging for ground coffee, in the form of a tablet, pod or pre-dosed sachet. The packaging can be used in express coffee machines suitable for receiving such packaging of specific shape.

Ainsi la pastille, la dosette ou le sachet pré-dosé est formé de filtre papier contenant le café moulu et constituant un rebord de scellement. Thus the lozenge, the pod or the pre-dosed sachet is formed from a paper filter containing the ground coffee and constituting a sealing rim.

L'état de la technique comprend de nombreux documents. The state of the art includes numerous documents.

Parmi les plus intéressants, le document EP-A-0.361.569 concerne un filtre à café dans lequel une quantité prédéterminée de café moulu est retenue entre des papiers filtres supérieur et inférieur fixés à un support. Among the most interesting, document EP-A-0.361.569 relates to a coffee filter in which a predetermined quantity of ground coffee is retained between upper and lower filter papers fixed to a support.

Ce dernier est soit un filtre destiné à recevoir une certaine quantité d'eau, soit une cartouche pour un filtre, et comporte un bord vertical. L'ensemble est caractérisé par le fait que le papier filtre supérieur forme avec le filtre ou la cartouche une cuvette, ce qui signifie que le rebord périphérique du papier filtre supérieur est plié de façon oblique vers le haut. The latter is either a filter intended to receive a certain quantity of water, or a cartridge for a filter, and has a vertical edge. The assembly is characterized by the fact that the upper filter paper forms a bowl with the filter or the cartridge, which means that the peripheral rim of the upper filter paper is folded obliquely upwards.

Le document EP-A-0.422.898 décrit une forme améliorée et optimisée d'un sachet filtre de café à infuser, destiné à s'adapter sur les machines à café et à faire une infusion homogène de café dans les différentes machines a café de type américain ou européen. Le sachet comprend une première pièce en papier filtre, dont la surface est étirée et accrue d'au moins 3 %, pour former une poche arrondie, et scellée à une seconde pièce circulaire en papier filtre, pour former un rebord de scellement de pratiquement 1,27 cm autour d'elle. Une quantité dosée de café moulu est enfermée dans la poche arrondie et munie d'un espace à sa partie supérieure pratiquement d'au moins 50 % du volume de la poche. Les première et seconde pièces circulaires de papier filtre ont chacune, de préférence, un diamètre approximatif de 12,7 cm et sont remplies d'une quantité dosée de café moulu pour infuser cinq tasses d'eau. Dans cette forme améliorée, la présence d'un rebord de 1,27 cm, en combinaison avec une surface accrue due à l'étirage du filtre, a pour résultat un café avec une augmentation de l'extraction des solides solubles et une diminution de l'écart standard d'extraction. The document EP-A-0.422.898 describes an improved and optimized form of a filter bag for brewing coffee, intended to adapt to coffee machines and to make a homogeneous infusion of coffee in the various coffee machines of American or European type. The bag includes a first piece of filter paper, the surface of which is stretched and increased by at least 3%, to form a rounded pocket, and sealed to a second circular piece of filter paper, to form a sealing rim of practically 1 , 27 cm around it. A metered quantity of ground coffee is enclosed in the rounded pocket and provided with a space at its upper part of at least 50% of the volume of the pocket. The first and second circular pieces of filter paper each preferably have an approximate diameter of 12.7 cm and are filled with a metered amount of ground coffee to infuse five cups of water. In this improved shape, the presence of a 1.27 cm rim, in combination with an increased area due to stretching of the filter, results in coffee with increased extraction of soluble solids and a decrease in standard deviation of extraction.

Le document WO-92.07775 a trait à une cartouche étanche contenant une dose de substance destinée à la préparation d'une boisson, par dissolution ou extraction par un liquide, qui est placée dans une pièce collectrice de liquide constituée par un godet tronconique. L'ensemble ainsi formé est placé dans un logement d'une "cuillère" de machine à café express. Le sommet de la cartouche est perforé par une pièce perforatrice et injectrice qui injecte un liquide sous pression dans la cartouche. La membrane inférieure de la cartouche se déforme sous 1 'effet de la pression ainsi engendrée et elle est pressée contre des pointes perforatrices du fond du godet. La boisson s'écoule dans le logement et elle peut ainsi être recueillie dans des tasses. The document WO-92.07775 relates to a sealed cartridge containing a dose of substance intended for the preparation of a drink, by dissolution or extraction with a liquid, which is placed in a liquid collecting part constituted by a frustoconical cup. The assembly thus formed is placed in a housing of a "spoon" of an express coffee machine. The top of the cartridge is perforated by a perforating and injecting part which injects a liquid under pressure into the cartridge. The lower membrane of the cartridge is deformed under the effect of the pressure thus generated and it is pressed against the perforating points of the bottom of the bucket. The drink flows into the housing and can therefore be collected in cups.

L'invention permet d'optimaliser la durée de contact de la substance contenue dans la cartouche avec le liquide destiné à sa dissolution ou son extraction.The invention makes it possible to optimize the duration of contact of the substance contained in the cartridge with the liquid intended for its dissolution or its extraction.

Les inconvénients de ces différents dispositifs de filtres à café proviennent de leur structure. Soit, ils sont constitués d'une carcasse rigide nécessitant d'être percée, le coût d'un tel dispositif est très important. Soit la structure se limite à l'usage de papier filtre moins coûteux mais dont la tenue mécanique est grandement insuffisante. The disadvantages of these different coffee filter devices arise from their structure. Either, they consist of a rigid carcass needing to be drilled, the cost of such a device is very important. Either the structure is limited to the use of less expensive filter paper but whose mechanical strength is largely insufficient.

Certains fabricants ont essayé d'améliorer la tenue mécanique des dispositifs utilisant un conditionnement à base de papier filtre. Pour ce faire, ils ont tasse le café à l'intérieur du conditionnement, de sorte que ledit café est pratiquement solide. Some manufacturers have tried to improve the mechanical strength of devices using packaging based on filter paper. To do this, they cup the coffee inside the package, so that said coffee is practically solid.

Ceci entraîne que la percolation ou lixiviation ne peut se faire qu'avec une pression très importante avec les problèmes d'étanchéité que cela peut engendrer.This means that percolation or leaching can only be done with very high pressure, with the sealing problems that this can cause.

A cet effet, la présente invention propose un conditionnement de café moulu sous forme de pastille, de dosette ou de sachet prédosé, utilisable dans des machines à café express, la pastille, la dosette ou le sachet pré-dosé est formé de papier filtre qui renferme le café moulu, caractérisé par le fait que le contenu du café moulu disposé dans la pastille ou autres est circonscrit partiellement, ou en totalité, par son pourtour par au moins une pièce en un matériau suffisamment rigide, faisant office d'armature, de sorte que ladite pastille ou autres a une bonne tenue mécanique. To this end, the present invention provides a packaging of ground coffee in the form of a tablet, pod or pre-dosed sachet, usable in express coffee machines, the tablet, the pod or the pre-dosed sachet is formed of filter paper which contains ground coffee, characterized in that the content of the ground coffee placed in the tablet or the like is circumscribed partially, or entirely, by its periphery by at least one piece of sufficiently rigid material, serving as a frame, so that said pellet or the like has good mechanical strength.

Le pourtour de la pastille ou autres est constitué de papier filtre qui forme un rebord de scellement présent sur une partie ou la totalité du pourtour de ladite pastille ou autres. The periphery of the tablet or the like consists of filter paper which forms a sealing rim present on part or all of the periphery of said tablet or others.

La pastille de café ou autres est formée d'une partie centrale contenant le café moulu et d'une partie périphérique ou rebord de scellement dont les formes sont respectivement celles d'un disque et celles d'un anneau. The coffee or other tablet is formed by a central part containing the ground coffee and by a peripheral part or sealing rim whose shapes are respectively those of a disc and those of a ring.

La pièce rigide faisant office d'armature est formée par deux anneaux placés de part et d'autre du papier filtre formant le rebord de scellement. The rigid piece acting as a reinforcement is formed by two rings placed on either side of the filter paper forming the sealing rim.

Selon un mode de réalisation, les anneaux sont en carton. According to one embodiment, the rings are made of cardboard.

L'invention concerne également une machine à café express formée de façon classique d'une chaudière et d'un vérin, lui-même composé d'un corps cylindrique renfermant un piston utilisant des pastilles de café ou autres qui est caractérisée par le fait qu'elle est constituée-de butées placées à une extrémité de la chaudière en position perpendiculaire par rapport à l'axe longitudinal de la machine à café express, le vérin coopérant avec ladite chaudière au niveau des butées pour fixer en position une pastille de café ou autres qui est fixée par sa pièce, en matériau rigide, entre les butées d'une part, et la chaudière d'autre part.. The invention also relates to an express coffee machine conventionally formed of a boiler and a jack, itself composed of a cylindrical body containing a piston using coffee pellets or the like which is characterized in that '' it consists of stops placed at one end of the boiler in a position perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the express coffee machine, the jack cooperating with said boiler at the stops to fix a coffee tablet in position or others which is fixed by its piece, made of rigid material, between the stops on the one hand, and the boiler on the other hand.

Le vérin est constitué d'un corps cylindrique renfermant un piston. The cylinder consists of a cylindrical body containing a piston.

La partie supérieure de ladite machine à café express comporte une fente située à la verticale et au-dessus des butées, de sorte que le positionnement de la pièce rigide de chaque pastille ou autres entre les butées d'une part, et la chaudière d'autre part, se fait par simple gravité. L'introduction de la pastille s'effectue dans un plan vertical et l'action du piston se situe dans un plan horizontal. The upper part of said express coffee machine has a slot located vertically and above the stops, so that the positioning of the rigid piece of each tablet or other between the stops on the one hand, and the boiler. on the other hand, is done by simple gravity. The introduction of the pellet takes place in a vertical plane and the action of the piston is located in a horizontal plane.

Chaque butée est mobile selon un axe parallèle à l'axe longitudinal de la machine à café express, et une ouverture est pratiquée à la verticale et en dessous des butées de sorte que lorsque lesdites butées sont manoeuvrées afin d'être parallèles l'une par rapport à l'autre, la pastille ou autres n'est plus retenue par sa pièce rigide et tombe à l'extérieur de la machine à café express par simple gravité. Each stop is movable along an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the express coffee machine, and an opening is made vertically and below the stops so that when said stops are maneuvered so as to be parallel one by relative to the other, the tablet or the like is no longer retained by its rigid part and falls outside the express coffee machine by simple gravity.

Les dessins ci-joints sont donnés à titre d'exemples indicatifs et non limitatifs. Ils représentent un mode de réalisation préféré selon l'invention. Ils permettront de comprendre aisément l'invention. The attached drawings are given as indicative and non-limiting examples. They represent a preferred embodiment according to the invention. They will allow the invention to be easily understood.

La figure 1 représente un conditionnement selon l'invention en coupe transversale. Figure 1 shows a package according to the invention in cross section.

La figure 2 représente une vue en élévation du conditionnement. Figure 2 shows an elevational view of the packaging.

La figure 3 représente une vue en perspective d'un mode de réalisation d'une machine à café express qui utilise le conditionnement présenté aux figures précédentes. FIG. 3 represents a perspective view of an embodiment of an express coffee machine which uses the packaging presented in the preceding figures.

La présente invention propose un café moulu 4 sous forme d'une pastille, d'une dosette ou d'un sachet pré-dosé 1 qui est utilisable par certaines machines telles que des machines à café express 2. The present invention provides ground coffee 4 in the form of a tablet, a pod or a pre-measured sachet 1 which can be used by certain machines such as express coffee machines 2.

Le conditionnement peut, bien entendu, sans sortir du champ de protection de la présente invention, contenir du café moulu 4 ou tout autre substance pouvant être infusée ou mise en contact avec de l'eau par exemple du thé, de la chicorée, etc. The packaging can, of course, without departing from the protective field of the present invention, contain ground coffee 4 or any other substance which can be infused or brought into contact with water, for example tea, chicory, etc.

La pastille, la dosette ou le sachet pré-dosé 1 est constitué par du papier filtre 3 qui renferme le café moulu 4 ou tout autre substance tel que cela est représenté dans la figure 1, la pastille ou autres 1 formant un rebord de scellement 5 sur son pourtour qui est caractérisé en ce qu'il est formé partiellement ou en totalité par le papier filtre 3 et par au moins une pièce 6 constituée en un matériau suffisamment rigide pour permettre une bonne tenue mécanique à ladite pastille ou autres 1. The tablet, pod or pre-dosed bag 1 is constituted by filter paper 3 which contains ground coffee 4 or any other substance as shown in Figure 1, the tablet or other 1 forming a sealing rim 5 on its periphery which is characterized in that it is formed partially or entirely by the filter paper 3 and by at least one part 6 made of a sufficiently rigid material to allow good mechanical strength to said pellet or others 1.

Comme on le voit bien sur la figure 2, la pastille de café 1 est formée d'une partie centrale constituée par le café moulu 4 et le papier filtre 3 qui l'enserre et d'une partie périphérique ou rebord de scellement 5 dont les formes sont respectivement celles d'un disque pour la partie centrale et celles d'un anneau pour la partie périphérique. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the coffee tablet 1 is formed by a central part constituted by the ground coffee 4 and the filter paper 3 which encloses it and by a peripheral part or sealing edge 5 whose shapes are respectively those of a disc for the central part and those of a ring for the peripheral part.

Il est bien entendu que toute autre forme ayant les mêmes fonctions et aboutissant au même résultat ne peuvent être considérées que comme des équivalents techniques. It is understood that any other form having the same functions and leading to the same result can only be considered as technical equivalents.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, la pièce rigide 6 est formée par deux anneaux placés de part et d'autre de la partie du papier filtre 3 formant le rebord de scellement 5. According to a preferred embodiment, the rigid part 6 is formed by two rings placed on either side of the part of the filter paper 3 forming the sealing rim 5.

De la même façon, les anneaux sont confectionnés dans du carton. Likewise, the rings are made of cardboard.

Ce matériau est suffisamment rigide et biodégradable pour permettre un bon fonctionnement de la machine à café express et une bonne dégradation une fois que le conditionnement a été utilisé. This material is sufficiently rigid and biodegradable to allow proper operation of the express coffee machine and good degradation once the packaging has been used.

La machine à café express 2 est représentée à la figure 3. The express coffee machine 2 is shown in Figure 3.

Celle-ci est essentiellement constituée d'une chaudière 7, d'un vérin 8 et de butées 9 placées à une extrémité de la chaudière 7, le vérin 8 coopérant avec ladite chaudière 7 au niveau desdites butées 9 afin de fixer une pastille de café 1. This essentially consists of a boiler 7, a cylinder 8 and stops 9 placed at one end of the boiler 7, the cylinder 8 cooperating with said boiler 7 at said stops 9 in order to fix a coffee tablet. 1.

Le vérin 8 est de forme classique, c'est-à-dire qu'il est constitué d'un corps cylindrique 10 renfermant un piston 11. The jack 8 is of conventional shape, that is to say it consists of a cylindrical body 10 containing a piston 11.

Le fonctionnement global de cette machine à café express 2 sera mieux explicité par la suite. The overall operation of this express coffee machine 2 will be better explained later.

L'introduction de la pastille 1 s'effectue dans un plan vertical et l'action du piston 11 se situe dans un plan horizontal. The introduction of the pellet 1 takes place in a vertical plane and the action of the piston 11 is located in a horizontal plane.

Selon la machine à café express 2 présentée à la figure 3, la partie supérieure de ladite machine 2 comporte une fente 12 située au-dessus des butées 9 permettant le positionnement de chaque pastille 1 selon les flèches F4 et F5 à l'intérieur de la machine à café express 2 et ce, par simple gravité. According to the express coffee machine 2 presented in FIG. 3, the upper part of said machine 2 has a slot 12 located above the stops 9 allowing the positioning of each tablet 1 according to the arrows F4 and F5 inside the express coffee machine 2 and this, by simple gravity.

Une fois que la pastille 1 se trouve coincée au niveau des butées 9 contre la chaudière 7, le vérin 8 est plaqué contre la pastille 1 selon la flèche F3. Once the pellet 1 is stuck at the stops 9 against the boiler 7, the jack 8 is pressed against the pellet 1 according to arrow F3.

Bien entendu, la chaudière 7 est préalablement ou en même temps alimentée en une eau selon la flèche F7 grâce à une tuyauterie d'entrée 14. Of course, the boiler 7 is previously or at the same time supplied with water according to the arrow F7 by means of an inlet pipe 14.

Cette eau est soit déjà chauffée, soit chauffée directement à l'intérieur de la chaudière 7. This water is either already heated, or heated directly inside the boiler 7.

Le piston 11 va ensuite s'éloigner de l'emplacement où se trouve située la pastille 1, de sorte que l'eau présente dans la chaudière 7 sera aspirée à l'intérieur du corps cylindrique 10 du vérin 8. The piston 11 will then move away from the location where the pellet 1 is located, so that the water present in the boiler 7 will be sucked inside the cylindrical body 10 of the jack 8.

Ce passage en force d'eau à l'intérieur de la pastille 1 permet d'obtenir un café judicieusement aromatisé. This forceful passage of water inside the tablet 1 makes it possible to obtain a judiciously flavored coffee.

Le café peut ensuite être libéré selon la flèche F8 grâce à une tuyauterie de sortie 15. The coffee can then be released according to arrow F8 by means of an outlet pipe 15.

Chaque butée 9 est mobile selon un axe 13 parallèle à l'axe horizontal de la machine à café express 2, de sorte que les butées 9 peuvent pivoter selon les flèches F1 et F2 autour de leur axe 13, ce qui permet à la pastille 1 de tomber à l'extérieur de la machine à café express 2 par simple gravité selon F6. Each stop 9 is movable along an axis 13 parallel to the horizontal axis of the express coffee machine 2, so that the stops 9 can pivot according to arrows F1 and F2 around their axis 13, which allows the tablet 1 fall outside the express coffee machine 2 by simple gravity according to F6.

Cette sortie s'effectue grâce à une ouverture pratiquée en dessous des butées 9, mais non représentée sur les figures.  This exit takes place through an opening made below the stops 9, but not shown in the figures.
