Definitions

  • TITLE "Customized pod and pod holder for hot drinks machine"
  • the present invention concerns the sector of machinery for obtaining espresso coffee and hot drinks in general and concerns a pod and a pod holder the respective contact surfaces of which have been especially designed so that other types of pods cannot be used on the said machines.
  • hot drinks such as coffee, tea, herbal infusions, camomile tea, powdered milk and other substances are obtained by raising the temperature of the water contained in the tank of an appropriate machine, usually supplied with electric power, to boiling point.
  • the hot water forced by the pressure generated by the heat and by an electromechanical pump, comes into contact with the ground fruits and solids of the drinks inserted in a container that must adhere perfectly to the tank in which the water is heated, absorbing their organoleptic characteristics before they are drunk by the consumer.
  • the ground fruit of the various types of hot drink may be kept in different containers.
  • One of the most modern of such containers consists of plastic or aluminium capsules or pods which offer the advantage, compared to other types of container, of facilitating the transportation and storage of the product while also providing a better guarantee of hygiene and safety for consumers.
  • the use of the pod or capsule also by private consumers requires special machines, chiefly electric, in order to obtain hot drinks in which the pod or capsule is inserted in a specific compartment, called a pod holder, which is provided with an upward manual movement that serves to ensure that the pod adheres perfectly to the water tank of the machine from which the water, due to the strong pressure generated by its boiling and by an electromechanical i pump, is injected into the pod in order to absorb the organoleptic characteristics of the fruit contained in it, after which it flows out of a series of holes drilled on the contact side of the said pod on the base of the pod holder and is collected in a hole located on the base of the pod holder in order to be channelled into the cup ready to be drunk by the consumer.
  • a pod holder which is provided with an upward manual movement that serves to ensure that the pod adheres perfectly to the water tank of the machine from which the water, due to the strong pressure generated by its boiling and by an electromechanical i pump, is injected into the pod in order to absorb the organoleptic characteristics of the fruit
  • the need for the consumer to have a machine for obtaining hot drinks with a unit cost of a several hundred euro may induce the said consumer to choose other types of containers for the ground fruit that do not guarantee higher quality and better hygiene of the drink.
  • manufacturers or dealers of the extracts of the various drinks apply a sales policy which provides for their purchasing the machines, which are mainly electric, themselves in order to give them in gratuitous loan to their various customers who are mostly private citizens.
  • the unit cost of the pods will be, of necessity, increased by a small percentage for the purpose of compensating the gratuitous lender for the cost of the machine that he himself has borne; a compensation that will be directly proportional to the greater or lesser consumption of the pods by his customer.
  • a pod or capsule designed to contain ground fruit from which it is possible to obtain hot drinks such as coffee, tea, camomile tea, herbal infusions, powdered milk and other substances and of a pod holder for hot drinks machines, preferably electric, the respective contact surfaces of which are characterized by a double series of grooves so as to allow their perfect adherence along the whole length of the pod holder of the machine on which the pod slides and so that the two elements pod and pod holder become a sole customized operating structure that does not permit the use of other types of pod the contact surfaces of which are devoid of the said series of grooves.
  • Fig. 1 is a side view of the pod (1) with the profile of its contact surface (2) showing the double set of grooves (2/a) and (2/b);
  • Fig. 2 is a view from above of the invention portraying the inside (3) of the pod (l);
  • Fig. 3 is a side view: - of the pod holder (4) of the hot drinks machine portraying the sliding base (5) with the double set of lateral grooves (6) and (6/a); - of the collection hole (7) located in the base (5), which collects the drink as it comes out of the pod to be poured into the user's cup; - of the two pins (8) and (8/a); Fig. 4 portrays the two comma-shaped stops (9) and (9/a). Fig.
  • the pod (1) the bottom (2) of which has a double set of lateral grooves (2/a) and (2/b) which enable it to slide along the base (5) of the pod holder (4) in order to ensure that the pod (1) adheres perfectly to the base (5) of the pod holder (4).
  • the double set of grooves (2/a) and (2/b) on the bottom (2) of the pod (1) and the double set of grooves (6) and (6/a) on the base (5) of the pod holder (4) make the pod (1) and the pod holder (4) absolutely complementary and inseparable so that hot drinks machine cannot be used with pods the contact sides of which are devoid of the double set of grooves (2a) and (2b).
  • the double set of grooves (2a) and (2b) and (6) and (6/a) are necessary for ensuring the perfect adherence of the pod (1) to the base (5) of the pod holder (4) for the injecting of the water into the pod (1).
  • the pod (1) that is the object of the present application is secured on the base (5) of the pod holder (4) by means of two comma-shaped stops (9) and (9/a) that, fastened to the pod holder (4) by means of two pins (8) and (8/a), serve to determine the stopping point of the pod (1) on the pod holder (4) so as to channel the drink into the hole (7) in the base (5) of the pod holder (4).
  • the two stops (9) and (9/a) bend when a new pod is inserted so that the used pod (1) slides along the base (5) of the pod holder (4) until it is ejected immediately after which the said stops (9) and (9/a) return to their original position in order to stop and centre the new pod.
