Definitions

  • the present invention is in the field of the preparation of beverages, eg coffee-based, by extraction of a concentrated dose, eg ground coffee, contained in a capsule. It relates more particularly to the doses used for this purpose as well as to devices using such doses and to the methods used when using such doses.
  • Licences US 2,899,886 , US 2,968,560 , US 3,403,617 and US 3,607,297 describe devices where the capsule is initially perforated in several places, then traversed by water under pressure.
  • One of the objectives of the present invention lies in the creation of a capsule preferably formed of biodegradable material, comprising a fuse membrane which bursts when exceeding its mechanical strength.
  • the bursting zone of the membrane is confined in one or more holes arranged in a cover which covers the outer face of the membrane.
  • the membrane that burst is advantageously for example NATUREFLEX NE30 or NM30 or any other material.
  • the extraction element of the capsule is formed as follows: The knit 3 and placed on the membrane 4 which is welded to a solid element (5).
  • the thickness of the lid (5) may vary depending on the diameter of the hole thereof as well as the thickness and material of the bursting membrane.
  • the diameter of the hole (s) of the cover 5 may vary according to many parameters (for example, without limitation): thickness and materials forming the knit 3 and / or the membrane 4 intended to burst, product 2 content in the capsule. There may also be several holes in the lid. The holes may be aligned with the entries in the capsules, or offset therefrom.
  • the shape of the hole or holes may also vary.
  • the figures 10 and 11 illustrate different possibilities (where the hole of the membrane (4) is considered non-circular).
  • a non-circular shape has the advantage of asymmetries in the way of breaking the membrane. Such asymmetries therefore make it possible to better control the burst, both from the point of view of the bursting zone and from the moment when the membrane bursts.
  • the presence of asymmetries in the shape of the hole most often results in bursting the membrane faster than in the case where the section is circular in shape. In the latter case, the distribution of the tensions in the membrane is indeed perfectly homogeneous.
