Definitions

  • 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 an inverted truncated cone and a rim. circular with a diameter greater than the bottom, and a seal welded to the periphery of the rim of the cup, the bottom of the cup having areas of reduced thickness intended to promote the opening of the cartridge during extraction.
  • Patent EP 521,510 already relates to a packaging in the form of a closed rigid cartridge containing a substance for making a drink and comprising areas of reduced thickness.
  • the disadvantage of this cartridge is that it requires, during its extraction, the presence, under the lower face having the zones of reduced thickness, of projecting elements.
  • the fact of providing these salient elements has a double disadvantage: on the one hand, this system increases the price and on the other hand, the tips become dull and it is mandatory to control their effectiveness over time.
  • the object of the present invention is to develop a cartridge having zones of weakness so that it can be extracted without any protruding element.
  • the invention relates to a closed cartridge according to the preamble of claim 1, in which the cup is made of aluminum or an aluminum-based alloy and the zones of reduced thickness are produced by shearing and are in the form of arcs of concentric circles of the same radius, concentric arcs of different radii, a spiral, substantially sinusoidal sections or radial segments.
  • aluminum alloy in the present description a mixture comprising at least 90% aluminum and a second metallic component chosen from the group consisting of iron, silicon, manganese, magnesium, chromium, copper, zinc and others.
  • the cartridge is filled with a substance for the preparation of a drink.
  • This substance is preferably roasted 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.
  • the cover should be flexible and slightly stretchy to facilitate perforation.
  • the cover has a thickness less than that of the cup, for example between 20 and 60 microns.
  • the cup must have a certain rigidity, for example when it is handled by the consumer. It therefore has a thickness of between 50 and 150 microns, more preferably between 70 and 100 microns.
  • this support is compulsory for controlling the opening so that the filter function is well fulfilled during the opening of said cartridge.
  • the cartridge contains roasted and ground coffee.
  • the coffee is placed in the cartridge either as it is, packed or compacted.
  • packed is meant compression under a pressure of the order of a few hundred kilograms.
  • compacted is meant compression under a pressure of the order of a few tonnes.
  • the coffee in the cartridge is preferably packed.
  • thin areas with variable thicknesses can be provided along said areas: for example, a residual thickness of 40 microns which varies up to 60 microns can be provided.
  • the opening will first be done on the 40 micron zone and will continue along the line towards the higher thickness. This also allows self-regulation of the extraction pressure.
  • the second possibility to facilitate opening is to provide on the start of the less thick area a start-up, for example by a notch with a residual thickness of 40 microns, while the rest of the zone is at 50 microns.
  • the closed cartridge according to the invention is made of a cup made of an aluminum alloy having a thickness of the order of 85 microns and having thinner zones in the form of concentric arcs with the same radius of thickness between 40 and 50 microns. If you operate with a coffee machine rising to 12 bar, you can extract a 120 ml cup in 50 seconds, without any grounds.
  • the cartridge consists of a cup (1) consisting of a bottom (2), a side wall (3) and a flange (4), as well as a cover (5).
  • the cup and the cover are made of an aluminum alloy, the cup having a thickness of 85 microns and the cover of 60 microns.
  • the lid is heat sealed on the rim (4) of the cup.
  • the bottom (2) of the cup has three zones (6) of lesser thickness in the form of arcs of a circle. As already mentioned above, these zones are obtained by shearing using stamping presses.
  • the cartridge contains ground coffee and roasted (7). During extraction, the opening of the zones (6) allows the coffee extracts to pass, but also guarantees good retention of the coffee grounds.
  • the residual thickness in the zones (6) is 40 microns.
  • the advantage of this arrangement lies in the fact that during the extraction, it is first the areas closer to the center, namely (10) which will open.
  • FIG. 4 there is a bottom (11) having a zone (12) in the form of a spiral.
  • FIG. 5 shows a cup bottom (13) having zones of reduced thickness (14) of substantially sinusoidal shape.
  • Figure 6 shows a cup bottom (16) having thinner zones (17) in the form of radial segments.
  • FIG. 7 finally represents an enlargement in section of the place of lesser thickness obtained by shearing.
  • the part (15) has a residual thickness of 40 microns.
  • the distance A is between 0.2 and 1 mm.
  • a cartridge of relatively simple design is available according to the invention, making it possible to extract with a cartridge holder of specific design and making it possible to prepare an espresso type coffee, that is to say with a pressure rise of around 10 bar.
