Definitions

  • the present invention is in the field of the preparation of beverages, eg coffee-based, by extraction of a concentrated dose, e.g. ex. ground coffee, contained in a capsule. It relates more particularly to the doses used for this purpose as well as devices using such doses.
  • a concentrated dose e.g. ex. ground coffee
  • US Pat. Nos. 2,899,886, US 2,968,560, US 3,403,617 and US 3,607,297 disclose devices in which the capsule is initially perforated in a plurality of locations and then passed through water under pressure.
  • the capsule described in patent CH 605 293 or in patent EP 0 242 556 B1 comprises a membrane in its lower part.
  • Water under pressure is initially introduced into the upper part of the capsule, after piercing said capsule by means of a cutting element (eg a blade), which causes the capsule to swell, mainly at the level of the capsule. of the membrane. From a certain pressure, the membrane tears, thus allowing the flow of a water-coffee mixture.
  • the present invention has several improvements over prior art capsules.
  • a capsule for the preparation of a beverage for example coffee
  • a capsule for the preparation of a beverage comprising a hollow element intended to contain a dose, eg ground coffee, said hollow member comprising a side wall, an upper wall and a lower wall having an extraction membrane; the upper wall having on its inner side a weakening zone adapted to be displaced when an outer member exerts a force on it, thereby providing a liquid flow passage between the outside and the inside; of the capsule.
  • One of the advantages offered by the present invention lies in the ability to provide liquid flow passages of sufficiently large section. This is particularly true for capsules made of a biodegradable material. It tends to swell in the presence of liquid. In the absence of a zone of weakening of sufficiently large section the piercing of the capsule by a cutting element does not allow a sufficient flow of liquid through the pierced zone. By providing the capsule according to the invention with a zone of weakening of wide section, the presence of a flow space is guaranteed.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a first example of the capsule according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a variant of the upper part of the capsule of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates another variant of the upper part of the capsule of FIG.
  • Figure 4 shows the inside of the capsule of the figurel
  • Figure 5 illustrates an enlargement of a portion of the interior of the capsule of Figure 1
  • Figure 6 illustrates a depression on the outer face of the side wall
  • Figure 7 shows a second example of capsule according to the invention.
  • Figure 8 shows a third example of capsule according to the invention.
  • Figures 9 and 10 illustrate the weakening zone disposed on the inner face of the upper wall
  • FIGS 1 1 and 12 illustrate the rupture of the weakening zone.
  • the interior of the capsule has protruding internal elements or a circumferential collar whose function is to avoid jamming during stacking of the vacuum capsules, prior to filling them in the factory. These same projecting elements also offer a lateral reinforcement of the capsule, (see Figure 4).
  • a recess is created which reinforces the lateral parts of the capsule by structural effect, while saving material, (or cut) and allows in particular to use biodegradable material and fine materials such as PET, metal, or any other material derived from petroleum.
  • the lateral reinforcement of the capsule can also be created by folds of the material (see Figure 5-6).
  • the outer lateral part of the capsule has pants which can extend as far as the lower part of the capsule or at some distance over the height. In this variant also, it is possible to save material while strengthening the lateral parts of the capsule (see Figure 7-8).
  • all reinforcement systems mentioned above can be rigid with less material used and use advantageously biodegradable materials or any other material of the type (PET, Metal), or any other material derived from petroleum.
  • the inner upper part of the capsule is provided with a bead of material at the piercing elements of the capsule (see Figure 4).
  • crack primers On the blanks of the bead are arranged crack primers. When a piercing element exerts sufficient pressure at the bead, the crack primers burst, which has the effect of allowing water to enter the capsule (see Figure 9-12).
  • the capsule is formed of a biodegradable material.
  • the biodegradable material may be of plant origin.
  • the material comprises the following components: Starch (> 70%), fibers, proteins, lipids, glycerin of vegetable origin, biodegradable resins.
  • the material comprises the following components: starch (> 70%), fibers, proteins, lipids, biodegradable resin, mineral dye.
  • the capsule according to the invention can also be used with devices of the state of the art which are provided with blades for introducing water into the capsule.
