Description

       

  La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif de distribution assurant automatiquement

  
à partir d'un réservoir de poudre de café, le transvasement de la quantité de poudre nécessaire à l'obtention d'un type de café donné (nombre de tasses - qualité : fort, moyen, léger) et ce dans l'élément filtrant par exemple.

  
En vue de la réalisation de ce but, ce dispositif est caractérisé en ce que la base dudit réservoir est constituée d'une série de compartiments égaux mis en rotation autour d'un axe central associés à un dispositif fixe obturant l'un d'eux.

  
D'autres caractéristiques ressortiront d'un exemple de réalisation qui sera décrit ci-après en se référant aux dessins dans lesquels :
la figure 1 est une vue en élévation du dispositif de distribution ; 

  
la.figure 2 est une vue en coupe transversale de la base du dispositif ;  la figure 3 est une vue suivant la coupe III-III dans la figure 2 ; la figure 4 est une vue en perspective éclatée des éléments constituant la base du dispositif de distribution.

  
Comme le montre ces dessins, le réservoir 1 du type cylindrique comporte une partie transparente 2 permettant à l'utilisateur de vérifier la quantité de poudre de café 3 qu'il contient. A la base de ce réservoir est fixéeune tranche cylindrique 4 composée de compartiments 5 égaux et juxtaposés

  
(ici au nombre de 6) représentant par leur taille la dose standard de café nécessaire à l'obtention d'une tasse de café moyen par exemple. Cette tranche tourne autour d'un axe central 6 et comme elle est ouverte à sa partie supérieure, les compartiments se remplissent (par gravité) de poudre de café 3. 

  
En dessous de cette tranche cylindrique se trouve un plateau fixe 7 ayant exactement le même diamètre que la tranche 4 et lui servant de fond.

  
Ledit plateau ne comporte qu'une ouverture 8 d'un dimensionnement égal aux compartiments. En regard de cette ouverture et au-dessus de la tranche cylindrique 4 est positionné un égalisateur 10 en forme de cône assurant :

  
1/ un remplissage correct et égal des compartiments 5 2/ le seul transvasement vers le bas du volume de

  
café contenu dans ledit compartiment 5.

  
On comprend dès lors qu'à chaque 1/6ème de rotation de la tranche cylindrique, un volume de poudre de café égal à celui d'un des compartiments

  
5 est transvasé dans l'élément filtrant situé au-dessous du plateau 7. Pour obtenir une parfaite étanchéité

  
un ressort 20 fixé sur l'axe de révolution de la tranche cylindrique presse le plateau 7 contre la tranche cylindrique 4.

  
L'entraînement en rotation de la tranche peut être assuré de façon conventionnelle soit par

  
des moyens mécaniques, soit par des moyens électriques.

  
A l'extrémité de l'axe de révolution solidaire de la tranche 4 et situé dans le réservoir

  
1, on a fixé de façon rigide deux ailettes 30 destinées à répartir de façon homogène la poudre de café.

  
L'une de ces ailettes comporte une

  
partie flexible 31 venant frotter sur le cône 10

  
et la paroi interne du cylindre de façon à éviter

  
que la poudre de café ne puisse s'y accumuler.

  
Pour assurer un transfert parfait de la poudre de café, les parois des compartiments ont un profil conique (largeur de la base supérieure à celle de la partie supérieure) et l'égalisateur 10 est légèrement évidé (en regard des compartiments) de manière à créer un espace 40 de façon à permettre la  <EMI ID=1.1> 

  
Bien entendu diverses modifications peuvent être apportées par L'homme de l'art au dispositif qui vient d'être décrit uniquement à titre d'exemple non limitatif sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. 

REVENDICATIONS

  
 <EMI ID=2.1> 

  
contenu dans un réservoir (1) caractérisé en ce que la base dudit réservoir est constituée d'une série de compartiments (5) égaux mis en rotation autour d'un axe central (6) associés à un dispositif fixe

  
(10) obturant l'un d'eux.

  
 <EMI ID=3.1> 



  The present invention relates to a dispensing device ensuring automatically

  
from a coffee powder reservoir, the transfer of the quantity of powder necessary to obtain a given type of coffee (number of cups - quality: strong, medium, light) and this into the filter element for example.

  
With a view to achieving this goal, this device is characterized in that the base of said reservoir consists of a series of equal compartments rotated about a central axis associated with a fixed device closing one of them .

  
Other characteristics will emerge from an exemplary embodiment which will be described below with reference to the drawings in which:
Figure 1 is an elevational view of the dispensing device;

  
la.figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the base of the device; Figure 3 is a view along section III-III in Figure 2; Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view of the elements constituting the base of the dispensing device.

  
As shown in these drawings, the reservoir 1 of the cylindrical type has a transparent part 2 allowing the user to check the quantity of coffee powder 3 that it contains. At the base of this tank is fixed a cylindrical section 4 composed of compartments 5 equal and juxtaposed

  
(here 6 in number) representing by their size the standard dose of coffee necessary to obtain a cup of medium coffee for example. This slice rotates around a central axis 6 and as it is open at its upper part, the compartments are filled (by gravity) with coffee powder 3.

  
Below this cylindrical section is a fixed plate 7 having exactly the same diameter as section 4 and serving as its bottom.

  
Said tray only has an opening 8 of a size equal to the compartments. Opposite this opening and above the cylindrical section 4 is positioned an equalizer 10 in the form of a cone ensuring:

  
1 / correct and equal filling of the compartments 5 2 / the only transfer to the bottom of the volume of

  
coffee contained in said compartment 5.

  
We therefore understand that every 1 / 6th of rotation of the cylindrical slice, a volume of coffee powder equal to that of one of the compartments

  
5 is transferred to the filter element located below the plate 7. To obtain a perfect seal

  
a spring 20 fixed on the axis of revolution of the cylindrical section presses the plate 7 against the cylindrical section 4.

  
The drive in rotation of the wafer can be provided in a conventional manner either by

  
mechanical means, either by electrical means.

  
At the end of the axis of revolution secured to section 4 and located in the tank

  
1, two fins 30 are rigidly fixed intended to distribute the coffee powder evenly.

  
One of these fins has a

  
flexible part 31 coming to rub on the cone 10

  
and the inner wall of the cylinder so as to avoid

  
that the coffee powder cannot accumulate there.

  
To ensure perfect transfer of the coffee powder, the walls of the compartments have a conical profile (width of the base greater than that of the upper part) and the equalizer 10 is slightly hollowed out (facing the compartments) so as to create a space 40 so as to allow the <EMI ID = 1.1>

  
Of course various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art to the device which has just been described solely by way of non-limiting example without departing from the scope of the invention.
