Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical sector concerning capsules for containing a preparation for a hot drink, in particular coffee, tea, milk and the like.
  • these capsules known as pods, contain a batch of preparation and are engageable in combination with automatic machines able to allow extraction of the product.
  • These automatic machines comprise, in the extraction section thereof, an internal chamber for housing and temporarily retaining a capsule, and a device for supplying pressurised hot water into the chamber in which the capsule is inserted, in such a way as to enable extraction of the product therefrom.
  • the active ingredients and/or aromas contained in the batch of preparation are extracted and/or dissolved in the hot water by means of infusion or by mixing, in this way obtaining the desired hot drink.
  • the capsules present on the market comprise a substantially beaker-shaped body sealed by a film applied on the entry collar of the body using known methods, for example gluing, heat-welding or ultrasound welding.
  • the beaker-shaped body of the capsules is generally made of aluminium with thicknesses which confer a predetermined rigidity, while the closing film is made using a slim sheet of aluminium which allows a minimum of deformability.
  • the hot water supplied into the internal chamber must be able to enter the capsule, interact with the batch of preparation, and then exit from the capsule in such a way as to allow dispensing of the drink internally of a suitable containing beaker.
  • first sharp elements operate in the internal chambers of the above-described automatic machines, which sharp elements are mobile and able to suitably perforate the bottom of the capsules and enable inlet of the hot water.
  • the deformation of the film leads to the laceration thereof by facing second sharp elements that are fixed and enable exit of the drink from the capsule and the conveying thereof into the containing beaker.
  • the sealed coupling thereof with the internal chamber is guaranteed by a silicone ring, comprised inferiorly of the entry collar of the capsule body, which crushes against the upper peripheral edge of the containing walls of the internal chamber.
  • the peripheral edge is knurled, with grooves that extend radially with respect to the chamber, in such a way that during the coupling step with the silicone ring the ring deforms and perpendicularly obstructs the radial grooves.
  • the upper peripheral edge of the internal chamber intercepts a prominence, fashioned inferiorly of the entry collar of the capsule body, which is knurled with grooves extending circumferentially with respect to the capsule body.
  • the seal is guaranteed by the plastic deformation undergone by the circumferential knurling of the capsule body caused by the corresponding radial knurling of the upper peripheral edge of the internal chamber.
  • Document EP1654966 discloses a capsule which contains beverage ingredients such as ground coffee, tea or other ingredients and is configured for insertion in a beverage production device so that a liquid under pressure enters the capsule and interacts with the ingredients in the capsule.
  • the capsule comprises a base body and a foil member closing the base body by being attached to a flange-like rim extending from the side wall of the base body of the capsule.
  • the base body of the capsule comprises a resilient sealing member, the sealing member being designed to be in sealing engagement with a bell member of the beverage production device.
  • Document EP1849715 discloses a method for producing a capsule containing beverage ingredients designed for insertion in a beverage production device in which a liquid under pressure enters the capsule in order to interact with the ingredients in the capsule and to form beverage.
  • the method comprises: preforming the capsule body and at least a portion of said flange-like rim; placing a premade sealing member on the flange-like rim; crimping a portion of the flange-like rim on a portion of the sealing member so resulting in the sealing member becoming attached to the flange-like rim.
  • Document EP2230195 discloses a capsule for the production of coffee, in a beverage production machine comprising a capsule holder with relief and recessed elements; said capsule comprising: an inverted cup-shaped body forming a chamber containing ground coffee, a bottom injection wall, a sidewall; a delivery wall which is sealed to the body; wherein the delivery wall comprises a filtering insert including at least one portion of porous material capable of providing a backpressure that is greater than the backpressure of the ground coffee in the chamber.
  • Document DE102008014758 discloses a package having a container provided with a base, a side wall and a cover, where the base guides an extraction fluid into the container.
  • the side wall exhibits a flange serving as a sealing edge for the cover and extending radially outwards at a cover side based on a conical or cylindrical side wall section.
  • the side wall has a carrier section e.g. aluminum foil, and an inner section, where the inner section is formed of a flexible plastic foil e.g. polypropylene foil, deformable under pressure and laminated on the carrier section.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a system for extracting a hot drink, able to ensure optimal sealed coupling of the capsule body with the internal chamber of the automatic machine internally of which the capsule is inserted, such as to guarantee the predetermined pressure values internally of the capsule during the dispensing step of the hot water.
  • a further aim of the invention is to provide a system for extracting a hot drink, having a relatively low cost.
  • system of the invention comprises one or more of the following characteristics, considered singly or in combination:
  • reference numeral 1 generally denotes the capsule for containing a preparation for a hot drink, comprising, in known ways, a beaker-shaped body 10, destined to contain a batch of preparation, provided at the mouth 10a of a collar 13 which extends towards the outside.
  • the beaker body 10 comprises a bottom 11 from which a lateral containing wall 12 emerges, having a substantially truncoconical geometry, from an upper edge of which the collar 13 extends.
  • the collar 13 extends from the lateral wall 12 in a substantially parallel direction with respect to the bottom 11.
  • a deformable aluminium film is generally applied (for example by gluing, heat-welding or ultrasound welding) in the upper part of the collar 13; the aluminium film is deformable and capable of sealing the internal volume of the body 10 of the capsule 1.
  • the body 10 is preferably made in a single body and made of polypropylene, which is completely non-toxic.
  • the capsule 1 is inserted in an apparatus of known type (for the sake of simplicity this is not illustrated) of the type described in the above preamble.
  • this apparatus comprises an internal chamber destined to receive and retain, in proximity of the upper region, the body 10 of the capsule 1 during the preparation of the drink.
  • the internal chamber is delimited by at least a containing wall 18 which identifies an upper peripheral edge 17 which can abut the lower surface of the collar 13 of the body 10 of the capsule 1, in a step of coupling the body 10 with the internal chamber.
  • the capsule 1 comprises, in an innovative way, at least an annular groove 14 at the lower surface of the collar 13, which annular groove 14 is suitable for sealingly couplingly receiving the upper peripheral edge 17 of the containing wall 18.
  • the groove 14 is shaped complementarily to the upper peripheral edge 17 of the containing wall 18, such as to enable free insertion and/or extraction of the upper peripheral edge 17 into and/or from the annular groove 14.
  • the groove 14 is shaped such as to enable a friction coupling with the upper peripheral edge 17 of the containing wall 18.
  • the plastic deformation of the groove 14 during the coupling step with the upper peripheral edge 17 can also be comprised, by means of the edge itself.
  • deformable means can be provided, positioned at the bottom 15 or at one of the opposite lateral walls 16 of the groove 14, which can deform during the step of coupling of the groove 14 with the upper peripheral edge 17.
  • the capsule for containing a preparation for a hot drink is able to ensure excellent sealed coupling of the capsule body with the internal chamber of the automatic machine internal of which the capsule is inserted, such as to guarantee the predetermined pressure values internally of the capsule during the step of dispensing the hot water.
  • the bottom and the opposite lateral walls of the groove extendedly and stably embrace the upper peripheral edge of the containing wall of the internal chamber.
  • the capsule further enables obtaining optimal deformation of the closing film (sealed on the upper portion of the collar) which is thus lacerated according to the description, with a consequent dispensing of the predetermined quantity of hot drink.
