Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a capsule for the infusion of granular, powder or flake products such as coffee, barley, powdered milk, tea, chamomile, etc...
- Generally, the capsules for infusion products comprise a cup made of plastic material and within which is housed the infusion product, and a lid arranged so as to close the cup being also made of plastic material. The lid is welded to the upper edge of the cup by means of an ultrasonic device of a known type by which welding is accomplished by vibration. In addition, the lid has a valve being defined by an element which closes a hole formed upon said lid.
- In the application
WO2010/134036 a capsule has been described wherein the cup has, on its bottom wall, a particular conformation to achieve a better hydraulic seal between said bottom wall and a wall of the percolation chamber of a machine. - In the applications
WO2010/115970 ,WO2010/139575 andWO 2004/087529 a capsule has been described wherein the lid is defined by a thin layer of constant thickness which can be fixed to the upper edge of the cup by the application of ultrasound. - In the application
EP1767467 a capsule has been described wherein the lid has an annular projection which engages an annular recess formed upon the upper edge of the cup and therein fixed by the application of ultrasound. - When the capsule is inserted within a percolation chamber of a machine for the extraction of drinks, hot water is injected under pressure and this determines the bending of the abovementioned element so that the water internally accesses the cup through the abovementioned hole formed in the lid. The water is mixed with the product and exits the capsule through holes in the bottom wall of the cup.
- The capsules described above have a plurality of drawbacks.
- In particular for the capsules in which the lid in its section object of the welding step has oblique surfaces the welding step is not effective and precise but rather the vibrations that are transmitted to the closing element of the hole made in the lid determine the bending of said element and therefore the opening of the hole from which then exits the infusion product.
- Furthermore the capsules described in the patent applications indicated above have a lid that during the welding step does not prevent the overflow between the lid and the cup of parts of plastic material. It is evident that being food products, the view of external beads caused by the welding is not approved by the consumer.
- The purpose of the present invention is to provide a capsule for the infusion of granular, powder or flake products, being free from the above mentioned drawbacks and therefore having a lid and an upper edge of the cup with a special shape allowing correct and effective welding without producing a flow of plastic material to the outside of the capsule and without affecting by vibration the closure element of the hole made in the lid.
- According to the present invention a capsule is provided for infusion products comprising:
- a cup-shaped structure of plastic material defined by a bottom wall provided with through holes and by a side wall;
- a lid made of plastic material arranged so as to close said cup-shaped structure and presenting a peripheral edge, which is welded by means of an ultrasonic welding device to an upper portion of said side wall;
- Allowing for a better understanding of the invention is the following embodiment which shows, purely by way of illustration, a non-limitative example accompanied by the attached drawings, wherein:
-
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a capsule made in accordance with the dictates of the present invention; -
Figure 2 is a perspective view of a lid of the capsule ofFigure 1 ; -
Figure 3 is a perspective view of a cup of the capsule ofFigure 1 ; -
Figure 4 is a sectional view of the capsule ofFigure 1 in a step before the welding step between the lid and the cup; -
Figure 5 is a sectional view of the capsule offigure 1 in a step subsequent to the welding step between lid and cup, and -
Figure 6 is a sectional view of the capsule ofFigure 1 with a particular part made according to an embodiment different from that shown inFigure 4 . - In the attached figures is indicated as a whole with 1 a preferred embodiment of the capsule for infusion products according to the present invention; capsule 1 is adapted to be inserted in a percolation chamber and is adapted to contain an infusion product.
- With reference to
Figures 1, 3 ,4 and5 , the capsule 1 comprises a cup-shaped structure 2 made in a single body in plastic material, a slightly truncated cone-shaped and defined by aside wall 3 and by abottom wall 4. Theside wall 3 has a centralannular portion 5, an upperannular portion 6 and a lower annular portion 7. In correspondence of thecentral portion 5 on the inner surface of theside wall 3 are formed in onepiece reinforcement ribs 8 defined along an axis slightly inclined with respect to a vertical axis. The lower portion 7 has an outer diameter and an inner diameter respectively smaller than the outer diameter and the inner diameter of thecentral portion 5. - With reference to
Figures 4 and5 , thebottom wall 4 is derived from a central section of the lower portion 7 to which it is defined anannular edge 8 of the lower end of lower portion 7 which extends beyondsaid bottom wall 4. Saidedge 8 supports afilter 11 defined by a filtering film that also lies on acircular projection 12 which extends downwardly from the lower face of thebottom wall 4. It should be noted that thebottom wall 4 is slightly concave towards the inside of the cup-shaped structure 2. Furthermore in the bottom wall is made a plurality of throughholes 13. Finally from the lower face of the bottom wall extends aprojection 14 having apointed end 15. In use, for the water pressure inside the cup-shaped structure 2, thebottom wall 4 is pressed towards thefilter 11 which is then sliced from thepointed end 15. Consequently, the drink that is formed in the cup-shaped structure 2 through theholes 13 and through the tear defined in thefilter 11 overflows from the capsule 1. - With reference to
Figures 3 and4 , theupper portion 6 of thewall 3 presents in a sequence towards the top threeannular sections lower section 16 presents an external diameter which is larger than that ofcentral section 17, which, in turn, presents an external diameter larger than that of theupper section 18. The outer diameter of thesection 16 being larger than the outer diameter of thecentral portion 5 of thewall 3. It is necessary to underline that the upper face of thesections sections - With reference to
Figures 1, 2 ,4 and5 , the capsule 1 comprises alid 21 made of plastic material and which in use is welded upon theupper portion 6 of the cup-shaped structure 2 by means of a device of known type adapted to generate ultrasound to define vibrations that fluidize the material subjected to said ultrasound. Thelid 21 comprises, integrally, acentral part 22 circularly shaped that apart from asection 23 has a peripheral edge of a reduced thickness; from the outer face of thecentral part 22 originates upwards aprojection 24 in a position diametrically opposite to that of thesection 23. In use, due to the pressure of the water and/or by the action of an organ (not shown) of the percolation chamber, thecentral part 22 is pushed towards the inside of the cup-shaped structure 2, and then the material that joins the abovementioned peripheral edge from thecentral part 22 and the remaining part of thelid 21 is cut. In essence, thecentral part 22 rotates around thesection 23 towards the inside of the cup-shaped structure 2 defining an opening through which the water enters within the cup-shaped structure 2. - With reference to
Figures 1, 2 ,4 and5 thelid 21 has a peripheral edge defined by anannular flap 25 in an inverted L-shaped section. In fact, theflap 25 comprises aninner section 26 defined on a horizontal plane and anouter section 27 folded at 90° downwards. Between theinner portion 26 and the remaining part of thelid 21 is formed in one piece anannular projection 28 which extends upwards and whichs as will be better explained later, is to constitute a barrier to the vibrations generated from said ultrasonic welding device which is applied on the upper face of thesection 26. From the inner face of thesection 26 is originated downwards anannular projection 31 which in section has an isosceles triangle shape with the apex facing the upper face of thesection 17. Furthermore, in correspondence with theprojection 28 from the lower face of thelid 21 extend downwards 4ribs 32 which in assembly of thelid 21 on the cup-shaped structure 2 result within said cup-shaped structure 2. - With reference to
Figures 4 and5 , applying thelid 21 upon theupper portion 6 of the cup-shaped structure 2, the lower face ofsection 27 results facing towards the upper face of thesection 16, theprojection 31 results facing towards the upper face of thesection 17 and the area of thesection 26 defined between theprojection 31 and the area from which originate theribs 32 is facing towards the upper face of thesection 18. In actual use, by applying an ultrasound device upon the upper face of theportion 26 of thelid 21 are determined vibrations in the area below, i.e. in thesection 26 of thelid 21 and in thesection 17 of theupper portion 6 of the cup-shaped structure 2. As well known said vibrations induce an increase in temperature in the areas below and therefore a melting of the plastic material is achieved. The consequence is the welding of thelid 21 onto theportion 6 as shown infigure 5 where it is necessary to point out that theprojection 31 and thesection 17 become a single body. Of course, during welding thelid 21 is pressed onto theportion 6 so that thesection 27 comes into contact or almost on the upper face of thesection 16 and thesection 18 comes into contact or almost on the lower face of thesection 26. -
Figure 6 illustrates an embodiment of theupper portion 6 of the cup-shaped structure 2. The upper portion in this case presents thesection 16 and thesection 17. In essence thesections Figure 4 are represented inFigure 6 by asingle section 17. On the upper face of thesection 17 is formed an annular recess 51 inside of which extendsprojection 31. - Preferably the cup-
shaped structure 2 and/or thelid 21 are made of PET which, as is known is a plastic material of the polyester family. Moreover, theentire capsule 11 is preferably made of biodegradable plastic material which as known is defined by plastic material suitably admixed with already known substances that render the capsule 1 biodegradable. - The capsule 1 described above has a plurality of advantages.
- In particular, the
section 26 of theflap 25 has a flat upper face and lies upon a horizontal plane. Now, given that the ultrasonic welding device is applied on saidsection 26 it appears evident that the ultrasound generated by the latter are directed exclusively towards the welding area and not towards thecentral part 22. In fact, while in the capsules currently on the market the part of the lid where the ultrasonic welding device is applied is defined on an oblique plane, and then ultrasound affects thepart 22 by determining the melting of the peripheral edge of saidpart 22 and therefore the overflow of the infusion product from the slot that is created between thepart 22 and the remaining part of the lid, in the capsule 1 object of the present invention this drawback does not occur since the ultrasound is directed exclusively towards the welding zone. Consequently, in the capsule 1 during the welding step any gap between thepart 22 and the remaining part of thelid 21 does not occur, and, therefore, leakage of the infusion product from the capsule 1 does not occur. To hinder the propagation of ultrasound even more towards thepart 22, the capsule 1 presents theprojection 28 that constitutes an insurmountable barrier to ultrasound. It is also to be pointed out that the shape of the peripheral edge of thelid 21 and theupper portion 6 of the cup-shapedstructure 2 prevents the leakage and therefore the visibility of any beads of molten material during welding. Indeed, this molten material tends to leak but remains trapped between thesection 17 and thesection 27 which then functions as a holding organ for the leakage of melted material during the welding step.
