Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closed cartridge, intended to be extracted under pressure, containing a substance for the preparation of a drink, including a cup with a bottom and side wall having substantially the shape of a inverted truncated cone and a circular rim in diameter upper at the bottom, and a seal welded on the periphery of the rim of the cup, the bottom of the cup having thinner zones intended to favor opening the cartridge during extraction.
  • Patent EP 521,510 already relates to packaging in the form closed rigid cartridge containing a substance for the making a drink and having lesser areas thickness.
  • the downside of this cartridge is that it requires, during its extraction, the presence, under the lower face presenting the zones of lesser thickness, salient elements. Providing these elements have 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 monitor its effectiveness in the time.
  • the aim of the present invention is to develop a cartridge showing areas of weakness so to be able to be extracted without any protruding element.
  • the invention relates to a closed cartridge according to the preamble of claim 1, based on EP-A-0 521 520 in which the cup is made of aluminum or an aluminum-based alloy and the thinner areas are produced by shearing and are in the form of arcs of a circle concentric with the same radius, arcs of a circle concentric 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, chrome, copper, zinc and others.
  • the cartridge is filled with a substance for the preparation of a drink.
  • This substance is from preferably roast and ground coffee, but can also be tea, instant coffee, a mixture of ground coffee and instant coffee, chocolate product or any other substance edible dehydrated.
  • the cover must be flexible and slightly stretchy to facilitate perforation.
  • the cover has a thickness less than that of the cup, for example included between 20 and 60 microns.
  • the cup must have a certain rigidity, for example when handled by the consumer. She has therefore a thickness between 50 and 150 microns, more preferably between 70 and 100 microns.
  • the cartridge contains coffee roasted and ground.
  • the coffee is placed in the cartridge either as is, either packed or compacted.
  • packed we mean compression under pressure of the order of a few hundreds of kilograms.
  • compacted is meant a compression under pressure of the order of a few tonnes.
  • the coffee in the cartridge is preferably packed.
  • the second possibility to facilitate opening is to plan on leaving the area of lesser thickness bootstrap, for example by a notch with residual thickness of 40 microns, while the rest of the area is 50 microns.
  • the closed cartridge according to the invention is made of an alloy cup aluminum having a thickness of the order of 85 microns and having thinner areas in the form concentric arcs of the same radius including thickness between 40 and 50 microns. If we operate with a coffee machine amounting to 12 bar, we manage to extract a cup of 120 ml in 50 seconds, without any marc passage.
  • the cartridge consists a cup (1) consisting of a bottom (2), a wall lateral (3) and a rim (4), as well as a cover (5).
  • the cup and the lid are made of an alloy of aluminum, the cup having a thickness of 85 microns and the 60 micron seal.
  • the lid is heat sealed on the rim (4) of the cup.
  • the bottom (2) of the cup has three zones (6) of less thickness under the shape of arcs of a circle. As already mentioned above, these zones are obtained by shearing using presses stamping.
  • the cartridge contains ground coffee and roasted (7). During extraction, the opening of the zones (6) allows coffee extracts to pass, but guarantees also good retention of coffee grounds. Thickness residual in zones (6) is 40 microns.
  • Figure 5 shows a cup bottom (13) having thinner areas (14) of substantially shaped sinusoidal.
  • Figure 6 shows a cup bottom (16) having thinner areas (17) in the form of segments radial.
  • Figure 7 finally shows an enlargement in section of the thinner spot obtained by shear.
  • the part (15) has a residual thickness of 40 microns.
  • the distance A is between 0.2 and 1 mm.
  • a design cartridge is available. relatively simple, allowing to extract with a cartridge holder specific design and allowing prepare an espresso type coffee, i.e. with a pressure rise of around 10 bar.
