Description

L'invention a pour objet un conditionnement pour grains de café se fixant directement sur le moulin à café et comportant un embout raccord doseur.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.

De nombreux conditionnements comportent des bouchons spécifiques avec verseur, doseur, etc. Ces bouchons n'autorisent pas un branchement direct sur un appareil ménager.Many packaging includes specific caps with pourer, dispenser, etc. These plugs do not allow direct connection to a household appliance.

L'état de la technique peut être défini par les brevets suivants :
- FR-A.2.609.453The state of the art can be defined by the following patents:
- FR-A.2.609.453

Dispositif de fermeture et de doseur à double sécurité.Double safety closing and dosing device.

L'invention concerne un dispositif de fermeture et de doseur permettant sans risque l'écoulement continu d'un produit en poudre ou en grains (liquide dans le cas d'un doseur étanche).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).

Il est constitué d'un bouchon ayant sur sa surface supérieure un bec verseur et une forme ondulée. Il est perce en partie sur sa face latérale pour permettre au coulisseau du doseur une rotation limitée de l'ensemble. Dans la forme de réalisation selon la figure II, le bouchon comporte en sa partie intérieure un rebord et un sillon. L'ensemble doseur est introduit dans le bouchon.It consists of a stopper having on its upper surface a pouring spout and a wavy shape. It is partially drilled on its side face to allow the slide of the dispenser a limited rotation of the assembly. In the embodiment according to Figure II, the plug has in its inner part a flange and a groove. The dosing unit is inserted into the cap.

Il a en son milieu sur ses faces supérieure et inférieure, un orifice, deux tiges, un coulisseau. Un support comportant lui aussi deux orifices. Ce dernier est remplacé, lorsque le bocal n'a pas une surface concave, par le support. Le support comporte deux orifices, un rebord.It has in its middle on its upper and lower faces, an orifice, two rods, a slide. 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.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné au domaine de la conservation.
- FR-A.2.466.756The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the field of conservation.
- FR-A.2.466.756

Dispositif de dosage d'une matière pulvérulente ou fluide et son application à un moulin à caféDevice for dosing a pulverulent or fluid material and its application to a coffee grinder

Le dispositif de dosage d'une matière pulvérulente comprend un récipient doseur destiné à être alimenté par une quantité prédéterminée de cette matière.The device for dosing a pulverulent material comprises a dosing container intended to be supplied with a predetermined quantity of this material.

Le dispositif comprend en outre deux organes capables d'un déplacement relatif et maintenus accolés par un aimant, l'organe étant soumis à une force antagoniste à l'attraction magnétique exercée par l'aimant et dont la valeur dépend du poids de matière contenue dans le récipient doseur, cette force antagoniste libérant cet organe de l'autre lorsqu'elle est égale à la force d'attraction précitée.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.

Application, notamment, aux moulins à café électriques.Application, in particular, to electric coffee grinders.

On peut également citer les brevets suivants : EP-A-0 221 419 ; US-­A-4 568 006 ; EP-A-0 024 310 ; US-A-4 765 499. Ces brevets décrivent des capsules de protection à cliquet avec ou sans soupape, mais pas d'embout raccord doseur.Mention may also be made of the following patents: EP-A-0 221 419; US-A-4,568,006; EP-A-0 024 310; US-A-4,765,499. These patents describe ratchet protection capsules with or without a valve, but no end fitting metering.

L'invention concerne un conditionnement pour grains de café qui s'adapte directement sur un moulin à café, l'embout raccord comporte un doseur.The invention relates to a packaging for coffee beans which fits directly on a coffee grinder, the connecting piece includes a dispenser.

Les avantages techniques sont nombreux.The technical advantages are numerous.

Il n'y a pas de manipulation.There is no manipulation.

Le conditionnement se fixe directement sur le moulin à café.The packaging is fixed directly to the coffee grinder.

Il y a une conservation intégrale du produit.There is an integral conservation of the product.

Le contrôle de stock peut être rigoureux.Stock control can be rigorous.

On obtient une présentation esthétique du module café (conditionnement - moulin à café) appelé à rester sur un comptoir.We obtain an aesthetic presentation of the coffee module (packaging - coffee grinder) called to stay on a counter.

A cet effet, le conditionnement, notamment pour grains de café, est du type bidon avec un goulot extractable en plastique souple fixé par une bague sertie sur l'orifice du bidon qui forme un cône à ce niveau, il comporte une capsule de protection à cliquet qui vient s'encliqueter avec la partie métallique de la bague de sertissage et qui protège le goulot qui est lui-même fermé par un bouchon à vis, entre le goulot et le bouchon à vis est disposée une rondelle percée d'une soupape qui fait office de valve de dégazage. Le pas-de-vis du goulot extractable est caractérisé par le fait qu'il peut recevoir un moyen faisant office d'embout raccord doseur.For this purpose, 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.

L'embout raccord doseur forme, à une première extrêmité, un cône d'adaptation, suivi d'une partie cylindrique filetée qui permet la fixation à l'extrêmité filetée du goulot. Le cône d'adaptation de l'embout raccord est suffisamment large pour que le conditionnement soit stable en étant fixé sur ledit embout. La partie filetée de l'embout raccord se poursuit par un moyen faisant office de doseur, tel qu'un tiroir de distribution pourvu d'une tirette. La seconde extrêmité de l'embout raccord vient se raccorder avec l'orifice d'entrée du café moulu du moulin à café.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.
