Definitions

  • the subject of the invention is a packaging for coffee beans which is attached directly to the coffee grinder and which includes a metering connection end piece.
  • Double safety closing and dosing device Double safety closing and dosing device.
  • the invention relates to a closure and metering device which safely allows the continuous flow of a powdered or granular product (liquid in the case of a sealed metering unit).
  • the plug has in its inner part a flange and a groove. The dosing unit is inserted into the cap.
  • a support also comprising two orifices. The latter is replaced, when the jar does not have a concave surface, by the support.
  • the support has two holes, a flange.
  • the device according to the invention is particularly intended for the field of conservation. - FR-A.2.466.756
  • the device for dosing a pulverulent material comprises a dosing container intended to be supplied with a predetermined quantity of this material.
  • the device further comprises two members capable of relative displacement and kept joined by a magnet, the member being subjected to a force opposing the magnetic attraction exerted by the magnet and the value of which depends on the weight of material contained in the metering container, this opposing force releasing this organ from the other when it is equal to the aforementioned attractive force.
  • the invention relates to a packaging for coffee beans which fits directly on a coffee grinder, the connecting piece includes a dispenser.
  • the packaging is fixed directly to the coffee grinder.
  • the packaging in particular for coffee beans, is of the canister type with a removable flexible plastic neck fixed by a ring set on the orifice of the canister which forms a cone at this level, it includes a protective capsule to pawl which snaps into place with the metal part of the crimping ring and which protects the neck which is itself closed by a screw cap, between the neck and the screw cap is a washer pierced with a valve which acts as a degassing valve.
  • the pas-de-vis of the extractable neck is characterized by the fact that it can receive a means acting as a metering connection nozzle.
  • the dosing connection nozzle forms, at a first end, an adaptation cone, followed by a threaded cylindrical part which allows attachment to the threaded end of the neck.
  • the adapter cone of the connecting piece is wide enough for the packaging to be stable by being fixed on said piece.
  • the threaded part of the connecting piece is continues by a means acting as a metering device, such as a dispensing drawer provided with a zipper.
  • the second end of the connector is connected to the inlet of the ground coffee from the coffee grinder.
  • the packaging is of the metal canister type 1, with an extractable flexible plastic neck 2 fixed by a ring 3 set on the orifice 4 of the canister 1.
  • the canister 1 forms, at this level, a cone 5 which facilitates the flow of coffee beans 6 through the orifice 4 when the e can 1 is returned to its cone 5.
  • the container 1 includes a ratchet protection capsule 7 which snaps into place with the metal part of the ring 3 crimped on the edges of the orifice 4 of the container 1.
  • This protection capsule 7 protects the neck 2 which is itself even formed by a screw cap 8.
  • a pierced washer 9 which receives a valve 10 which acts as a degassing valve (for example in the event of CO2 production).
  • the end 11 of the extractable neck 2 is threaded and can receive a dosing connection end piece 12.
  • the dosing connection end piece 12 forms, at a first end, an adaptation cone 13 followed by a threaded cylindrical part 14 which allows attachment to the threaded end 11 of the neck 2.
  • the adaptation cone 13 of the connection end piece 12 is wide enough for the container 1 to be stable by being fixed by its cone 5 on said connection end piece 12.
  • the threaded part 14 of the connecting piece 12 continues with a means serving as a metering device such as a distribution drawer 15 provided with a pull tab 16.
  • the second end 17 of the connecting piece 12 is connected with the inlet opening of the coffee grinder (not shown).
