Description

L'invention concerne une cartouche fermée, prévue pour être extraite sous pression, contenant une substance pour la préparation d'une boisson, comprenant une coupelle avec un fond et une paroi latérale ayant sensiblement la forme d'un tronc de cône et un rebord circulaire de diamètre supérieur au fond.The invention relates to a closed cartridge, intended to be extracted under pressure, containing a substance for the preparation of a drink, comprising a cup with a bottom and a side wall having substantially the shape of a truncated cone and a circular rim. diameter greater than the bottom.

Le brevet GB 938617 concerne une cartouche avec filtre intérieur ménageant deux compartiments et destinée à être extraite par un dispositif qui la perce sur ses faces inférieures et supérieures avant ladite extraction. L'inconvénient d'une telle cartouche est qu'elle nécessite en raison de l'épaisseur desdites faces l'utilisation d'un dispositif de percement relativement dangereux ne garantissant pas une parfaite propreté lors de ladite extraction et un dégagement aisé à la fin.Patent GB 938617 relates to a cartridge with an internal filter providing two compartments and intended to be extracted by a device which pierces it on its lower and upper faces before said extraction. The drawback of such a cartridge is that, because of the thickness of said faces, it requires the use of a relatively dangerous piercing device which does not guarantee perfect cleanliness during said extraction and easy release at the end.

L'utilisation de capsules pour la préparation d'une boisson, surtout dans le domaine des cafés type espresso extraits sous pression, est motivée par plusieurs raisons: hygiène, conservation optimale du café, facilité d'usage, meilleure maîtrise de la qualité du café obtenu et bonne reproductibilité des conditions d'extraction. Parmi l'ensemble des capsules disponibles, seules les capsules fermées, s'ouvrant sous l'effet de la pression d'eau injectée, répondent plus complètement aux arguments énoncés ci-dessus. Ces capsules se distinguent par leur système d'ouverture.The use of capsules for the preparation of a drink, especially in the field of espresso type coffees extracted under pressure, is motivated by several reasons: hygiene, optimal conservation of coffee, ease of use, better control of coffee quality obtained and good reproducibility of the extraction conditions. Among all the capsules available, only the closed capsules, which open under the effect of the pressure of water injected, respond more fully to the arguments set out above. These capsules are distinguished by their opening system.

Celles faisant l'objet du brevet CH 605 293 présentent des zones affaiblies qui se déchirent préférentiellement sous l'effet de la pression. Cette solution présente le désavantage d'augmenter la complexité et le prix de la capsule car les matières employées doivent être traitées de manière très précise pour que l'ouverture soit correcte et reproductible.Those which are the subject of patent CH 605 293 have weakened zones which tear preferentially under the effect of pressure. This solution has the disadvantage of increasing the complexity and the price of the capsule because the materials used must be processed. very precisely so that the opening is correct and reproducible.

La cartouche, objet de la présente invention, est d'un prix nettement plus faible et sa fabrication considérablement plus aisée, tout en permettant d'avoir une cartouche pour la confection d'une boisson, en particulier un café espresso, c'est-à-dire dans laquelle on effectue une extraction du café sous une pression comprise entre 1 et 15 bars.The cartridge, object of the present invention, is considerably lower in price and considerably easier to manufacture, while making it possible to have a cartridge for making a drink, in particular an espresso coffee. that is to say in which an extraction of the coffee is carried out under a pressure of between 1 and 15 bars.

L'invention concerne une cartouche fermée selon le préambule de la revendication 1, comportant un opercule soudé sur le pourtour du rebord de la coupelle, ledit opercule étant constitué d'une matière souple imperméable à l'oxygène, choisie dans le groupe constitué par l'aluminium, un composite aluminium/plastique, un composite aluminium/plastique/papier, du plastique pur ou multi-couches et l'opercule ou le fond étant destiné à être déchiré sous le seul effet de la poussée du fluide d'extraction au début de l'extraction. L'intérêt de cette cartouche est qu'elle ne comprend pas à proprement parler de filtre ni de zone d'affaiblissement.The invention relates to a closed cartridge according to the preamble of claim 1, comprising a seal welded to the periphery of the rim of the cup, said seal being made of a flexible material impermeable to oxygen, chosen from the group consisting of: aluminum, an aluminum / plastic composite, an aluminum / plastic / paper composite, pure or multi-layer plastic and the cover or bottom being intended to be torn under the sole effect of the thrust of the extraction fluid at the start of extraction. The advantage of this cartridge is that it does not, strictly speaking, include a filter or weakening zone.

La cartouche selon l'invention, peut être extraite selon le procédé et avec le dispositif faisant l'objet de la demande de brevet européen No. 91107462.3. Le dispositif d'extraction, prévu dans cette demande de brevet, permet d'extraire dans de bonnes conditions cette capsule simplifiée. Pour l'extraction de la capsule c'est soit l'opercule, soit le fond de la coupelle qui est déchiré sous l'effet du fluide d'extraction. Si c'est l'opercule, le fond de la coupelle est d'abord ouvert par l'organe d'injection d'eau lors de la mise en place de la cartouche dans le dispositif d'extraction et l'opercule est déchiré dans ledit dispositif lors de la montée en pression et après usage, ladite cartouche peut être retirée facilement et intégralement avec un minimum de déchet de marc ou de matière d'emballage.The cartridge according to the invention can be extracted according to the method and with the device which is the subject of European patent application No. 91107462.3. The extraction device, provided in this patent application, makes it possible to extract this simplified capsule under good conditions. For the extraction of the capsule, it is either the cover or the bottom of the cup which is torn under the effect of the extraction fluid. If it is the cover, the bottom of the cup is first opened by the water injection member when the cartridge is placed in the extraction device and the cover is torn in said device during the pressure build-up and after use, said cartridge can be easily and completely removed with a minimum of waste marc or packaging material.

L'opercule est normalement soudé sur le pourtour de la coupelle. Le soudage se fait par thermosoudage, les parties à souder comportent sur leurs faces en regard une laque de soudage. On peut également replier le rebord inférieur de la coupelle sur l'opercule et réaliser ainsi un sertissage. Aussi bien avec le soudage seul que combiné avec le sertissage, on obtient une cartouche résistant à des pressions pouvant aller jusqu'à 15 bars au moment de l'extraction.The cover is normally welded around the periphery of the cup. Welding is done by heat sealing, the parts to be welded have on their facing faces a welding lacquer. It is also possible to fold the lower edge of the cup back onto the cover and thus achieve crimping. Both with soldering alone and combined with crimping, we obtain a cartridge resistant to pressures of up to 15 bar at the time of extraction.

La cartouche est remplie d'une substance pour la préparation d'une boisson. Cette substance est de préférence du café torréfié et moulu, mais peut être aussi du thé, du café soluble, un mélange de café moulu et de café soluble, un produit chocolaté ou toute autre substance comestible déshydratée.The cartridge is filled with a substance for the preparation of a drink. This substance is preferably roast and ground coffee, but can also be tea, soluble coffee, a mixture of ground coffee and soluble coffee, a chocolate product or any other edible dehydrated substance.

Par coupelle, on entend aussi bien un élément tronconique, hémisphérique ou troncpyramidal. Il est bien entendu que le fond de la coupelle n'est pas obligatoirement plan, mais peut également présenter les géométries ci-dessus.By cup, we also mean a frustoconical, hemispherical or truncpyramidal element. It is understood that the bottom of the cup is not necessarily plane, but may also have the above geometries.

Le corps principal de la capsule, à savoir la coupelle, de forme tronconique et de nature semi-rigide, peut être constitué d'aluminium d'une épaisseur de 20 à 100 µm, de plastique pur ou multi-couches avec éventuellement une couche barrière à l'oxygène telle que l'EVOH ou le PVDC, d'un film multi-couches tel que carton, aluminium, plastique ou carton, plastique avec éventuellement une couche barrière à l'oxygène telle que l'EVOH ou le PVDC.The main body of the capsule, namely the cup, of frustoconical shape and of semi-rigid nature, can be made of aluminum with a thickness of 20 to 100 µm, of pure plastic or multi-layers with possibly a barrier layer with oxygen such as EVOH or PVDC, a multi-layer film such as cardboard, aluminum, plastic or cardboard, plastic with possibly an oxygen barrier layer such as EVOH or PVDC.

L'opercule de la capsule, de nature souple, peut être constitué d'aluminium d'une épaisseur de 15 à 60 µm, ou d'un film multi-couches comprenant, soit du papier de 20 à 60 g/m2, du plastique tel que le polyéthylène d'une épaisseur de 20 à 60 µm et de l'aluminium d'une épaisseur de 5 à 20 µm, soit de l'EVOH ou du PVDC d'une épaisseur de 5 à 30 µm et du plastique (PP, PE, PA) de 20 à 100 µm, soit du PET (5 à 30 µm) et du plastique (PP, PE) de 20 à 100 µm, soit du PET métallisé ou muni d'une couche haute barrière telle que SiO2. La combinaison multi-couches - papier aluminium peut également être envisagée.The capsule lid, of a flexible nature, can be made of aluminum with a thickness of 15 to 60 μm, or a multi-layer film comprising, either paper of 20 at 60 g / m2, plastic such as polyethylene with a thickness of 20 to 60 µm and aluminum with a thickness of 5 to 20 µm, either EVOH or PVDC with a thickness of 5 at 30 µm and plastic (PP, PE, PA) from 20 to 100 µm, or PET (5 to 30 µm) and plastic (PP, PE) from 20 to 100 µm, either PET metallized or provided with a high barrier layer such as SiO2. The multi-layer combination - aluminum foil can also be considered.

Parmi ces matières, l'aluminium se déchire le plus facilement et le plus nettement en employant un film multi-couches, la présence des fibres de papier et l'étirement de la couche plastique permet de constituer un treillis à l'emplacement des déchirures, ce qui est favorable pour maintenir l'intégrité du fond de la capsule et réduire la dispersion du marc tout en assurant une extraction homogène du lit de café.Among these materials, aluminum tears most easily and most clearly by using a multi-layer film, the presence of paper fibers and the stretching of the plastic layer makes it possible to form a trellis at the location of the tears, which is favorable for maintaining the integrity of the bottom of the capsule and reducing the dispersion of the marc while ensuring a homogeneous extraction from the coffee bed.

Pour éviter toute dispersion du marc sur la grille d'écoulement, on prévoit une couche supplémentaire à base de papier filtre ou de fibres tissées ou non tissées à base de PET ou de PP. Selon une configuration, cette couche peut être intercalée entre le corps de la capsule et l'opercule et liée ou soudée à ces deux éléments. Cette matière peut être d'une densité de 20 à 50 g/m². Selon une autre configuration de la capsule, la couche de papier filtre ou de fibres tissées ou on tissées peut être placée à l'extérieur de la capsule et liée ou soudée à l'opercule.To avoid any dispersion of the grounds on the drainage grid, an additional layer is provided, based on filter paper or woven or non-woven fibers based on PET or PP. According to one configuration, this layer can be interposed between the body of the capsule and the cover and bonded or welded to these two elements. This material can have a density of 20 to 50 g / m². According to another configuration of the capsule, the layer of filter paper or woven or woven fibers can be placed outside the capsule and bonded or welded to the cover.

La cartouche selon l'invention peut être de taille variable suivant le volume de café que l'on souhaite préparer. La dose de café contenue peut varier entre 5 et 20 g, le diamètre de la cartouche est compris entre 2,5 et 6 cm et l'épaisseur du lit de café entre 10 et 25 mm.The cartridge according to the invention can be of variable size according to the volume of coffee that one wishes to prepare. The dose of coffee contained can vary between 5 and 20 g, the diameter of the cartridge is between 2.5 and 6 cm and the thickness of the bed of coffee between 10 and 25 mm.
