Definitions
- the present invention relates to a closed sachet with a container containing a substance used for the preparation of a beverage, in particular of coffee, and having a bottom, a side wall and a lid, wherein the bottom for introducing an extraction fluid into the container and the lid is intended to be opened by mechanical means and / or the pressure of the extraction fluid, and wherein the container is provided in the region of the bottom with a device which ensures the retention of substance in the container when opening the bottom to introduce the extraction fluid.
- Such a closed portion package is from the EP 1 190 959 A1 known.
- the known sachet containing, for example, a soluble coffee substance is introduced, for example, in an espresso machine.
- the bottom of the package is then opened via a special opening mechanism, for example by embossing holes in the bottom, and it becomes an extraction fluid, For example, water / steam, introduced under high pressure through the holes in the container.
- the coffee substance in the container dissolves in the extraction fluid, and the lid of the package is torn open by the pressure of the extraction fluid.
- the escaping coffee is then collected from a drinking vessel.
- the known sachet is provided on the inside of its bottom with a device which ensures the retention of coffee substance in the container when opening the bottom to introduce the Extrakionsfluides.
- this device prevents coffee substance present in the container from escaping through the holes formed in the bottom and can get into the coffee machine or espresso machine and contaminate it.
- the aforementioned means is a fabric sheet which can be pierced by the opening mechanism for the bottom of the package (thorns, etc.) and after the retraction of the opening mechanism resumes its original shape, so that leakage of the coffee substance from the bottom holes is prevented .
- the tissue film is partially destroyed and thus is no longer able to prevent the substance from escaping.
- the fabric film, after making the holes in the floor and retracting the opening mechanism will not completely resume its original shape, leaving free spaces through which substance can escape from the floor. An impurity of the corresponding beverage machines can therefore not be completely excluded even with this solution.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a closed portion package of the type described above, which works particularly well with respect to the retention of substance in the container when opening the soil for the introduction of the extraction fluid.
- the device has at least one provided with at least one flap valve membrane, wherein the flap valve opens at a predetermined pressure of the extraction fluid and at least almost completely closes again when falling below this pressure.
- the solution according to the invention uses at least one membrane provided with at least one flap valve, ie a genuine valve mechanism. which opens depending on the pressure of the extraction fluid and at least almost completely closes again. Due to the resilience properties of the flap a rapid and complete or at least almost complete closing of the valve and thus the membrane opening is achieved at pressure drop, whereby no substance or substance mixed with extraction fluid penetrate the membrane and emerge from the bottom of the sachet can.
- the at least one flap valve opens when the extraction fluid flows under pressure into the pack, and closes again when the corresponding opening pressure is exceeded or no pressure is present.
- the flap valve is formed by cuts in the membrane and formation of a flap-shaped membrane portion.
- the membrane has a plurality of flapper valves.
- the corresponding cuts or cuts may have a variety of arrangements, so that a different number of flaps with different shapes can be formed.
- a single valve flap is provided in a membrane.
- a plurality of valve flaps are formed over the membrane surface, wherein the valve flaps are preferably arranged in a regular pattern.
- the at least one flapper valve can also be arranged in the membrane such that a targeted flow direction of the extraction fluid into the interior of the container results. For example, eddy currents can be generated in this way instead of laminar flows.
- the flap-shaped membrane portion which forms the valve flap connected at its extending in the circumferential direction and / or radial direction side with the remaining part of the membrane.
- the flap-shaped membrane portion either protrudes tongue-shaped inwards (to the center of the membrane) or is attached laterally, so that the Flap extends in the circumferential direction.
- the size and number of flaps are variable and can be adapted to the particular circumstances. Importantly, good springback properties are achieved, which depend on the size and number of flaps, the hardness of the material of the membrane and the thickness of the material of the membrane.
- this may have a weakening line or points of weakness or cuts in the connection region with the remaining part of the membrane.
- the membrane provided according to the invention is preferably arranged inside the container and adjacent to the bottom thereof. It is attached to the container, for example via a suitable seal. According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the membrane is attached to the container so that it rests against the bottom in the closed state of the soil and when opened by the soil exerted by the extraction fluid pressure and / or the opening mechanism in a raised position from the ground. It therefore forms in this embodiment in the use state of the pack when opening the bottom of a chamber between the membrane and the bottom, which provides further security against leakage of the substance from the bottom of the pack in the corresponding machine. Should substance penetrate through the membrane despite the rapid closing of the flap valve provided in the membrane, it will be collected by the additional chamber formed and does not enter the machine directly through the holes in the floor.
- an embodiment is suitable in which the membrane is fastened to the container in the region of its outer edge, in particular sealed thereto.
- a plurality of membranes are arranged one above the other.
- the flap valves of the superimposed membranes are arranged offset from one another, so that in this case the extraction fluid must flow obliquely through the membranes, but also the substance can penetrate only obliquely through the flap openings, whereby the sealing effect is further improved.
- the material for the membrane and thus for the at least one flap valve so finds in particular a hard material, in particular metal, especially aluminum, in the hard state or intermediate hard state, use. These materials guarantee a particularly good and rapid springback behavior of the flap-shaped membrane sections.
- Aluminum alloys are particularly preferred materials. If the membrane consists of a metal, then a membrane thickness of in particular 15 ⁇ m to 150 ⁇ m, preferably of 30 ⁇ m to 80 ⁇ m, is used.
- the membrane can be painted or laminated sealable on one or both sides.
- Another suitable material for the membrane is plastic.
- PC, PET, PA or PVC or combinations thereof are used, the thickness of the membrane in this case preferably being between 30 and 300 ⁇ m.
- the above-mentioned line-shaped or point-shaped weakening regions for supporting the flap function may also be incisions in the membrane. Furthermore, such weakening regions can also be arranged, for example, in the edge region of the membrane, for example in the form of circumferentially extending and spaced incisions, in order to assist in lifting the membrane from the bottom when pressurized.
- the invention is not limited to specific forms.
