Definitions
- the present invention relates to an impermeable packaging for infusing a material to be infused.
- Document WO 2005/066040 discloses a capsule for the preparation of drinks such as coffee comprising a protective envelope formed by an upper face connected to a lower face by side walls. The upper and lower faces are provided with zones of weakening facilitating the rupture and can be doubled internally by a sheet of filter paper.
- One sheet of filter paper is attached to the upper face and another is attached to the underside.
- the means for fixing the filter paper sheets does not allow good mechanical strength. Indeed, during the passage of water through the capsule, the internal pressure and increasing tension forces, the attachment of the filter paper sheets on the upper and lower faces may be deteriorated. The sheets of filter paper then no longer play their role in maintaining the material to be infused, which can then be spread in the machine and / or in the drink in preparation. In addition, if the sheets of filter paper become detached from the upper and lower faces, the flow of water through the capsule will be changed and the quality of the drink will be less.
- the present invention provides a packaging for infusing a material to be infused comprising at least two filter layers so as to define a receiving volume of the material to be infused and an impermeable envelope intended to cover the two filter layers characterized in that the two filter layers are joined by their periphery, the latter being secured to the envelope.
- the packaging according to the invention has many advantages.
- the mechanical strength is much greater.
- the peripheral seal is formed in the median plane of the packaging that is to say substantially located in the middle of the thickness of the packaging. As a result, the tension forces are evenly distributed over the entire periphery of the package.
- the manufacture of the packaging according to the invention is facilitated since its formation can be carried out in a single step where the material to be infused is directly conditioned between the two filter layers joined by their periphery, the periphery can be secured in the same step to the envelope.
- the cost of packaging according to the invention is significantly lower than that of the capsule according to the state of the art cited above.
- the impermeable envelope is formed of upper and lower films which are joined by their periphery integral with the peripheral seal formed by the junction of the two filter layers.
- all the filter layers and the upper and lower films of the impermeable envelope are integral at their periphery.
- This arrangement considerably increases the mechanical strength of the packaging either for the resistance of the fixing of the filter layers or the holding of the entire package for proper positioning in the machine.
- the manufacture of the packaging is further facilitated.
- the packaging according to the invention allows a flow of water through the optimized capsule. Indeed, the water is channeled, there is no leak or passage of parasitic water periphery that can reduce the quality of drink in preparation.
- one of the essential parameters for the drink has a good taste quality is the time of passage of water through the material to be infused.
- the packaging according to the invention comprises at least one rupture primer on the lower film of the envelope and an expansion space between the filtering layers and the envelope.
- the upper film of the envelope is able to be pierced.
- the material to be infused can extend due to the flexibility of the filter layers and the existence of the expansion space.
- the lower film breaks at the level of the breaking primer.
- the hot water remains in contact with the material to infuse the time sufficient for it to hydrate and releases all its aromas.
- the invention relates to a packaging for infusing a material to be infused comprising at least two filter layers so as to define a receiving volume of the material to be infused and an impermeable envelope for covering the two layers filtering, characterized in that the two filter layers are joined by their periphery the latter being secured to the envelope.
- the packaging is such that:
- the filter layers are joined by their periphery to a peripheral reinforcement.
- An expansion gap exists between the filter layers and the envelope.
- the filter layers have sufficient flexibility to allow expansion of the material to be infused.
- the envelope is formed by at least one upper film and one lower film.
- the lower and upper films and filter layers are integral by their periphery.
- One of the films has a breaking primer.
- One of the dandruff is apt to be pierced.
- the waterproof envelope is flexible.
- Figure 1 partially illustrates side and partially in section the packaging according to the invention.
- Figure 2 illustrates a bottom view of the packaging according to the invention.
- Figure 3 is a sectional view of the packaging according to the invention positioned in an infusion chamber.
- Figure 4 is a view of the packaging according to the invention when the brewing chamber is closed.
- FIGS. 1 to 5 is a view of the packaging according to the invention when the water is injected into the package.
- the packaging 1 according to the invention consists of two filtering layers 3 joined by their circumference, the periphery being integral with an impermeable envelope 4.
- the packaging 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 has a substantially saucer shape with a symmetry of revolution. This configuration is not limiting and it is possible in particular to use packages 1 of square section or unsymmetrical.
- the impermeable envelope 4 is formed by an upper film 6 and a lower film 7.
- the upper 6 and lower 7 films are joined to the filtering layers 3 by their periphery forming a peripheral seal 5.
- the material to be infused 2 is coffee grounds and the filtering layers 3 of the package 1 are based on filter paper.
- filtering layers based on nonwoven material use will be made, for example, of polypropylene, or of polyethylene with a basis weight of between 20 and 100 microns.
- the filtering layers 3 are secured by their circumference to a peripheral reinforcement 8 intended to give a good mechanical strength to the packaging 1 by replacing the peripheral seal 5.
- the peripheral reinforcement 8 can also ensure a better connection of the filtering layers 3.
- the peripheral reinforcement 8 comprises a central core of cardboard, said core being covered on both sides by a polymer plastic coating.
- the polymer coating (of the polyethylene film type) allows the heat-sealing of the periphery of the filtering layers 3 on the peripheral reinforcement 8.
- the peripheral reinforcement 8 may be positioned between the two filtering layers 3 or between the filtering layers 3 and the impermeable envelope 4.
- the impervious casing 4 is, for example, formed from flexible plastic materials impermeable to water and air.
- flexible plastic materials impermeable to water and air For example, aluminum having a thickness of 20 to 100 microns or pure or multi-layered plastic comprising polyvinylidene chloride or a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl alcohol will be used.
- the impervious casing 4 can be made from degradable materials such as cornstarch-based plastics.
- the upper film 6 is pierceable and the lower film 7 comprises a rupture primer 10 facilitating the rupture of the envelope when the internal pressure of the packaging reaches a certain value.
- the breakdown primer 10 can be made by a weakening zone in the lower film 7. That is, the lower film 7 has a zone of lesser thickness creating weakness in the film strength. According to another possibility, the rupture primer 10 is created by pre-cutting on the lower film 7.
- the impermeable envelope 4 is not adhered to the filtering layers 3 over its entire surface. Indeed an expansion space 9 is provided between the impervious casing 4 and the filtering layers 3. This expansion space 9 allows a better expansion of the material to infuse 2 and allows swelling before the flow of the drink. According to one possibility, spacer means may be provided for maintain the filter layers 3 and the impervious envelope 4 apart and form the expansion space 9.
- the spacer means in the form of spacer may take the form of protuberances integral with the inner face of the casing 4 or integral with the outer faces of the filtering layers 3. These protuberances may be a plurality of points or take the form of a bead or a cylindrical ring or not. They can be cardstock.
- the spacer means may also be at least one fluid layer such as an advantageously inert gas such as nitrogen.
- Figures 3 to 5 illustrate the packaging in a brewing chamber of a machine.
- the infusion chamber 11 is composed of two parts, one having a water injection head 12 capable of piercing the upper film 6, the other part of the infusion chamber 11 has a channel allowing the flow of the drink out of the infusion chamber 11.
- the water injection head 12 pierces the upper film 6 when the infusion chamber 11 is in the closed position.
- FIG. 4 it can be noted the existence of an extension zone 13 between the packaging 1 and the infusion chamber 11. This extension zone 13 allows the expansion of the lower film 7 when the material to be infused 2 swells with water.
- the injection head 12 does not pass through the upper filter layer 3.
- the filtering layer 3 retains its role of maintaining the material to be infused 2.
- the water injection head 12 may be composed of one or more piercing and injection points.
- the packaging 1 is maintained in the infusion chamber 11 at its peripheral seal 5. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the packaging 1 is positioned horizontally in an infusion chamber
- the package 1 may be positioned vertically in an infusion chamber 11 and maintained in the same manner as before.
- the process for preparing beverages to be infused from the packaging 1 according to the invention comprises the following steps: the packaging 1 is placed in an infusion chamber 11 composed of two parts: one comprises an injection head of 12 and the other comprises a channel 14 for the flow of the drink out of the infusion chamber 11, the upper film 6 is pierced by the water injection head 12 without piercing the upper filter layer 3 water is injected into the package 1 - the infusible material 2 included in the package expands the lower film 7 attaches to the chamber wall to infuse the rupture primer 10 breaks leaving the drink to infuse s flow through channel 14.
- the packaging 1 comprises a peripheral seal 5 sufficiently rigid to optimize its guidance, sealing and mechanical strength.
- the peripheral seal 5 can cooperate with vertical slides intended to guide the packaging 1 to the infusion chamber 11.
- the hot water under pressure is injected by the injection head of water 12 in the packaging 1 the material to be infused 2 expands, the filtering layers 3 are flexible enough to expand.
- the lower film 7 expands and is attached to the wall of the brewing chamber 11.
- the internal pressure of the package 1 reaches a certain value, for example between 1 and 5 bars, and that the film
- the breaker 10 is fed to the infusion chamber 11 and the flowable breaker 10 passes through, allowing the beverage to be infused to flow through the channel 14.
- One or more rupture primers 10 may be envisaged. In the case of a plurality of rupture primers 10, several channels 14 will have to be considered.
