'' Kit for making espresso coffee machines

As is well known, the espresso coffee machines depending on their purpose different dimensions, in particular different capacities, especially with regard to their brewing capacity, i.e. concerns the number of spouts.

Espresso coffee machines are used both in small bars which are located in remote parts of the city as well as in large, well-frequented restaurants. In the first case it turns out The smallest coffee machine available with two spouts turns out to be over-sized, and in the second case it is against it It is necessary to set up several machines each with the maximum number of spouts, e.g. six spouts each.

Such different requirements call for a larger number of models with different ones Capabilities, with all of the numerous known disadvantages inherent in the manufacture of such coffee machines .

The present invention is based on these disadvantages to eliminate. For this purpose, a kit is to be provided which is assembled in such a way that espresso coffee machines can be used with just a few components with different dimensions can be formed to meet all practical needs to satisfy.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the kit has the following characteristics:

- a modular component that has a boiler for hot water and steam preparation as well as two pipes for drawing off hot water or Contains steam;

-3-

a modular component for the production of espresso coffee / containing a brewing head with two spouts and

a modular component for the production of espresso coffee, containing a brewing head with a pouring spout.

Such modules can be strung together as required, with each individual module with appropriately arranged and designed means for electrical and hydraulic connection is provided with the modules arranged next to it.

Advantageously, each is used to make espresso coffee certain modules are provided with their own means for heating the water that is to be supplied to the brewing heads.

Further features and advantages of the module series according to the invention emerge from the description of a given below Embodiment shown in the figures. Show it

Fig. 1 is a perspective schematic view of a series of modular elements according to the invention and

Fig. 2,

3 and 4 schematically, in perspective views, various examples of espresso coffee machines, all of which are represented by Composition of various modular elements of the series belonging to FIG. 1 are put together.

In the figures, 1 is a series of modular elements according to the invention shown globally. Series 1 consists of three different modular components, each labeled 2, 3, 4, the can be lined up appropriately.

The inside of the module 2 contains a boiler 5 for

water and steam treatment and is provided at the level of its front wall with a pipe 6 for the removal of hot water, day for the preparation of tea and infusions is generally required, soj β with a pipe 7 for steam removal when milk or drinks are to be heated _{At the} top, module 2 is equipped with two baskets 8 and 9 placed one above the other, which are used to carry coffee cups.

The module 3 contains a brewing head 10 dimensioned in such a way that approx. 40 cm ^{3 of} espresso coffee can be dispensed from each spout. The module 3 is equipped at the top with a funnel-shaped container 13 for coffee beans. Coffee grinders that are not shown in the drawing are connected to module 3.

Ler module 4 contains a brewing head 14 with a pouring spout 15 which is dimensioned so that about 40 cm ^{3 of} espresso coffee can be dispensed. Similar to module 3, module 4 contains a funnel-shaped container 16 for coffee beans and the associated grinding devices.

With 17 and 18 connections are referred to, with which the modules 2, 3 and 4 are equipped to electrically with adjacent modules or to be connected hydraulically.

Advantageously, each module 3 and 4 has its own means, consisting of electrical resistors, denoted by 19 and 20, respectively and which are used to heat the water intended for the brewing heads 10 and 15, respectively.

With 21 (Fig. 2) an espresso coffee machine is shown with five spouts, consisting of the composition of a module 2, two modules 3 and one module 4, which are placed next to one another and electrically and hydraulically connected. The connections 17 and 18 are arranged on each module so that they are aligned with that of the adjacent module.

By combining a module 2 with a module 3 or With a module 4, on the other hand, two espresso coffee machines are created formed with smaller dimensions, those with one or two Spouts are provided and designated by 22 (Fig. 3) and 23 (Fig. 4).

Thanks to the series of modular components according to the invention, it became possible to greatly simplify the production of Achieve espresso coffee machines while having an advanced To offer model series.

A high degree of flexibility in the use of the espresso coffee machines was also obtained, as a result of the composition of the modular components are produced. It is possible, if necessary, to increase the performance of the machine to the to adapt to changed requirements, namely by placing additional modules next to one another as required.
