Description

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to elements of devices for preparing drinks, used for producing drinks by passing hot water through a capsule containing a substance or extract (coffee, tea, cocoa, milk powder, etc.). The invention can be applied to devices for preparing drinks, which are vending machines that are used in vehicles such as taxis.

The preparation of drinks under conditions of shaking, vibration in a vehicle or in the absence of hard surfaces for installing devices for preparation (for example, when driving into natural conditions) - leads to the need to increase the protection against splashing of the prepared hot drink.

To date, a large number of disposable capsules with prepackaged portions of the substance placed in a container made of plastic material, closed with a polymer film or aluminum foil as a lid are known, such as, for example, in patent RU 2557739, publ. 07/27/2015. Such capsules are placed in capsule holders, which are part of the device for preparing drinks, and their use is expedient in stationary devices for this purpose, however, their use under conditions of shaking or vibration creates safety problems for the user.

Known stationary car coffee maker, in which a coffee mug can be removably placed in the brewing station, which is closed with a removable lid, and the drink lid includes a capsule chamber formed therein, including at least one opening for draining the finished drink into a coffee mug, as well as a fixer for capsules, including an opening for passing water (patent US 7487712, publ. 10.02.2009). This solution provides protection against splashing under shaking conditions, but is applicable only for individual use, requires systematic cleaning of the cap and the capsule retainer, which is not suitable for use in public transport.

It is known to use, in a device for preparing beverages, a part for attachment to a vessel for detachable connection with the rim of the vessel to be connected; an annular part in the form of a lid panel extending radially inwardly relative to said part for connection to a vessel with an opening of significant dimensions for the passage of a large amount of liquid; part in the form of a chamber for receiving into it a portion of aromatizing material formed by walls extending downward relative to said part in the form of a lid panel and to a position significantly lower than said part for connection to a vessel (RF Application for Invention No. 99115457, publ. 10.06.2001 ). The described solution includes a chamber for receiving a portion of flavoring material, which does not ensure the tightness of the flavoring material, which adversely affects the taste of the resulting beverage, in particular coffee. In addition, the known solution, when used under conditions of shaking and vibration, does not provide safety for the user, since such a design of the device assumes the presence of an open jet of hot water used for brewing.

It is also known that the quality of the resulting beverage is largely determined by the storage conditions of the original ingredients. So ground coffee, as well as tea leaves, are susceptible to oxidation under the influence of sunlight, quickly absorb moisture and odors, lose essential oils in the air, which leads to a loss of aroma and deterioration of the taste of the resulting drink. Therefore, the use of filter bags with an ingredient or loose ingredients stored in inappropriate conditions does not allow obtaining a drink with high taste.

The object of the invention is to provide a holder with a capsule for preparing a drink, suitable for use under conditions of shaking and vibration in vehicles, including public transport, with obtaining high taste qualities of the drink.

The technical result achieved by the claimed invention is to ensure the safe preparation of a drink with high taste in a moving vehicle.

To achieve the technical result, a holder with a glass and a capsule for preparing drinks is claimed, including an annular part containing openings for drinking and air, connected to a receiving glass consisting of a side and a bottom wall, and connected to the capsule body, consisting of a side and a bottom wall, including at least one outlet for draining the finished drink into the receiving glass, as well as a filter attached to the inner part of the side wall of the capsule body with the possibility of passing water, characterized in that the capsule body and the receiving glass are inseparable from the annular part, while the capsule body closed by an upper cover with the formation of a hermetically sealed volume inside the capsule body containing the ingredient, the upper cover is made with the possibility of piercing it to allow water to pass through, while the lower wall of the capsule body is made in the form of a coating that prevents the ingress of air from the environment, under which it is placed inside Trenny piercer for opening the specified coating when filling the capsule body with water under pressure.

The essence of the claimed invention is illustrated in FIG. 1, which shows a side view of the inventive device in section, while:

1 - annular part;

2 - the body of the capsule with the ingredient;

3 - side wall of the capsule body;

4 - side wall of the glass body;

5 - the lower wall of the capsule body;

6 - filter;

7 - hole for the finished drink to drain;

8 - the upper part of the capsule body;

9 - internal puncturer;

10 - the lower part of the glass body;

11 - glass body.

The device contains an annular part 1 containing openings for drinking and air (not shown), monolithically connected to the body of the receiving glass 11, containing the side wall 4 and the lower part 10, and monolithically connected to the body of the capsule 2 with the ingredient containing the upper part 8, the side wall 3, filter 6, placed on the inner part of the side wall of the capsule body 3 with the possibility of passing liquid, as well as the bottom wall of the body 5 with an internal piercer 9 and an opening for draining the finished drink 7.

Example.

The holder with a capsule for preparing drinks contains an annular part 1, which is integrally connected to the body of the receiving glass 11, for example, by gluing or soldering, which increases the protection against liquid leakage, especially under vibration and shaking conditions. The annular part 1 contains a drinking opening, which can be provided with a protective cap. The annular part 1 is integrally connected, for example, by gluing or soldering, to the capsule body 2, which increases the protection against liquid leakage, especially under vibration and shaking conditions. The body of the capsule 2 is closed by an upper part 8, made, for example, of a polymer, plastic film, with the possibility of piercing said upper part 8 for the passage of liquid. This design avoids the presence of an open jet of hot water, which increases the safety of the beverage preparation. The body of the capsule 2 also includes a side wall 3 made, for example, of plastic, to which a filter 6 is attached, below which the bottom wall 5 is attached to the side wall by means of, for example, soldering or gluing, made in the form of an impermeable coating, for example, of a polymer films, as well as an internal piercer 9, which is at least one needle. The inner piercer 9 can be fixed on the inner surface of the side wall of the nozzle body 4 or on the inner surface of the lower part of the nozzle body 10 or on the inner surface of the annular part 1, but in any case, the sharp piercing part of the inner piercer 9 should be in close proximity to the bottom wall 5 of the capsule body, at a distance sufficient to pierce this wall when filling the capsule with water under pressure. An ingredient, such as ground coffee, is placed on the filter 6. The described design prevents the ingress of air and moisture into the capsule body, ensures the tightness of the storage of the required ingredient, which is directly related to obtaining a drink with high taste. Also, the body of the capsule 2 contains at least 1 opening for draining the finished drink 7, formed in the lower part of the body of the capsule 2, below the piercing part of the inner piercer 9. After preparing the drink, the body of the capsule 2 can be closed with a lid made of plastic, compressed paper or other material - for added user convenience.

Despite the well-known use of capsules with impermeable coatings, as well as the well-known placement of ingredients in elements that are put on a receiving glass, it is unknown to use a holder with a hermetically formed capsule and a receiving glass, connected monolithically, eliminating the presence of an open stream of water and suitable for use in vehicles. ... So the design described above combines features that allow to achieve a new technical result, namely, safe preparation of a drink with high taste qualities under conditions of shaking and vibration.

The invention works as follows.

The claimed capsule holder can be used with a portable beverage preparation device used in vehicles such as taxis.

The user places the holder with the capsule and the glass into the beverage preparation device and presses the capsule piercer against the upper part of the capsule body 8 using a pressing device, for example, a lever. The user turns on the water supply. Water from the cold water tank is supplied by a water blower to a device for heating water and then to a piercer made with the possibility of draining water passing through the piercer inside the capsule body 2 through a puncture in the upper part of the capsule body 8. Water passes through the ingredient located in the capsule body 2, through the filter 6, presses on the lower wall of the capsule body 5, which bends under water pressure, contacts the piercing part of the inner piercer 9, pierces and passes the resulting drink further to the opening for the finished drink 7 to drain into the receiving glass. After the glass is filled, the user removes the capsule piercer from the claimed device, lifting the lever, removes the glass with the holder with the capsule attached to it. The spent capsule can be closed from above with a plastic lid. The drink is ready to be consumed through the drinking hole. After drinking the drink, the user disposes of the declared holder with a capsule and a glass.

Thus, the claimed invention makes it possible to obtain a high-quality drink, ensuring the safety of preparation under conditions of shaking and vibration in vehicles, reduces the number of dismountable joints of the elements used for preparing a drink, thereby increasing the protection against liquid leakage and accelerating the process of preparing the drink. In addition, it is possible to avoid storing spent capsules in the device for preparing drinks, which is important for a vending machine used in a cramped vehicle environment, for example, in a taxi, since the spent capsule is disposed of together with the glass.
