Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a capsule for preparing a beverage of the infusion type.
  • a beverage by infusion formed by mixing at least two products for example, to prepare a cappuccino which, as well known consists of coffee and milk foam
  • hot water under pressure is channeled in the upper chamber so as to create a first infusion with the first product and then through the openings the.
  • first infusion is channeled towards the second chamber so as to mix with the second product to create the beverage.
  • the outcoming beverage from the capsule is not a real cappuccino but rather a normal milk and coffee.
  • a real cappuccino involves separate preparation of coffee and of a milk foam, which are then always poured separately in a cup .
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide a capsule for preparing a beverage that is free from the above drawbacks .
  • a capsule for preparing a beverage of the type comprising a cup- shaped body closed at the top by a lid, characterized in that it has a plurality of infusion chambers in its inside each provided with a respective area for the inlet of a water flow and each provided with a respective area for the outlet of the infusion.
  • Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views according to different angles of a capsule
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view, partial and in section of a capsule inserted in a percolation chamber.
  • a capsule comprising a cup-shaped body 2 closed on the upper side by a lid 3 in the form of a disc.
  • the cup-shaped body 2 presents a lateral wall 4 with cylindrical shape and a base wall 5.
  • the chamber 7 is delimited at the bottom by a central portion 11 of the base wall 5 and laterally by the inner face of the intermediate wall 6.
  • the chamber 8 is concentric to the chamber 7 and is delimited at the bottom by an annular portion 12 of the base wall 5 and laterally by the outer face of the intermediate wall 6 and by the inner face of the lateral wall 4.
  • a first outlet area is obtained which in this embodiment is defined by a plurality of through holes 13 distributed according to a plurality of circumferences.
  • a second outlet area is obtained which in this embodiment is defined by a plurality of through holes 14 distributed according to a circumference.
  • Two annular projections 15 and 16 originate from the outer face of the base wall 5 and extend downwards. The projection 15 is next to the intermediate wall 6 and delimits the aforementioned first outlet area.
  • the projection 16 is substantially a continuation of the lower end of the lateral wall 4 and - - together with the projection 15 delimits the aforementioned second outlet area.
  • the lateral wall 4 at its upper end has an annular edge 17 of thickness greater than the remaining part of the same wall 4; the edge 17 extending from the outer face of the wall 4.
  • the lid 3 has two annular thickenings 18 and 21 that define in the lid 3, two portions 22 and 23.
  • the thickening 18 is formed along the peripheral edge of the lid 3 and with the lid 3 mounted it abuts against an annular projection 24 obtained on the inner face of the lateral wall 4 near the upper end thereof.
  • the thickening 21 is concentric to the thickening 18 and with lid 3 mounted it ends up near the upper end of the intermediate wall 6.
  • a first inlet area In the portion 22, which is central and which is delimited by thickening 18, is defined a first inlet area.
  • the first inlet area has a plurality of through holes 25 uniformly distributed and the second inlet area has a plurality of through holes 26 uniformly distributed along the portion 23.
  • each chamber 7 and 8 housing a predetermined quantity of a respective infusion.
  • the chamber 7 is delimited at the bottom by the portion 11 of the base wall 5, laterally by the inner face of the intermediate wall 6 and at the top by the portion 22 of the lid 3. Is to be highlighted that after assembly of the lid 3, the peripheral edge of the portion 22 near the thickening 21 abuts against the upper end of the intermediate wall 6 therefore obtaining a substantial seal in a fluid-tight manner between the chamber 7 and the chamber 8.
  • the chamber 8 is delimited at the bottom by the portion 15 of the base wall 5, laterally by the outer face of. the intermediate wall 6 and 1 by the inner face of the lateral wall 4 and on the upper side by the portion 23 of the lid 3.
  • the inner face of the lateral wall 4 is slightly flared upwards and the diameter of the lid 3 is such that after assembly the peripheral edge of the lid 3 is pressed with force upon the inner face of the lateral wall 4 so as to obtain a seal in a fluid-tight manner of the chamber 8.
  • the capsule 1 has two separate chambers 7 and 8 sealed in a fluid-tight manner with respect to each other and each chamber 7 and 8 has a respective area for the inlet of a fluid and a respective area for the outlet of a fluid.
  • the capsule 1 is inserted into a percolation element 30 which comprises a lower cup- shaped body 31 having a base wall 32 and a cylindrical lateral wall 33.
  • the element 30 also comprises a plate 34 covering the upper edge of the lateral wall 33.
  • the element 30 thus defines a percolation chamber 35 delimited at the bottom by the inner face of the base wall 32, laterally by the inner face of the lateral wall 33 and on the upper side by the inner face of the covering plate 34.
  • the plate 34 is pressed upon the thickenings 18 and 21 creating a seal between the two inlet areas defined in the lid 3 of the capsule 1.
  • the hole 36 has a lower end which is to be in correspondence with the portion 22 of the lid 3 and therefore of the above-mentioned first inlet area of the capsule 1.
  • the hole 36 is obtained aligned with the longitudinal axis of the chamber 35 and therefore of the capsule 1.
  • the hole 37 has a lower end which is in correspondence with the portion 23 of the lid 3 and therefore of the aforementioned second inlet area of the capsule 1.
  • the base wall 32 of the body 31 also presents two through holes 38 and 41 of which the hole 38 has an upper end that is brought into correspondence with the aforementioned first outlet area of the capsule 1 and a lower end that leads outside the percolation chamber 35.
  • the hole 38 is obtained aligned with the hole 36.
  • the hole 41 has an upper end that is brought into correspondence with the aforementioned second outlet area of the capsule 1 and a lower end which leads outside the percolation chamber 35.
  • the hole 41 is obtained aligned with the hole 37.
  • the holes 36 and 37 are fed with a respective and separate water flow it is possible to define two distinct channels one for each infusion injected into the capsule 1.
  • the first channel provides the hole 36, the chamber 7 and the hole 38.
  • the second channel provides the hole 37, the chamber 8 and the hole 41.
  • This division of the channels involves the possibility of feeding at the same time the two channels so that the two flows of water, once meeting the corresponding infusion, are then mixed into a container placed underneath the percolation element 30.
  • the division of the channels may lead a first water flow along a first channel and subsequently a second water flow along the second channel so that the second flow passing through the second infusion falls - - in the container which already contains the first water flow passing through the first infusion.
  • the two infusions can mix in the aforementioned container or while they are being channeled in the container itself or in subsequent times .
  • a capsule with several chambers which allows a channeling of a water flow for each chamber of the capsule.
  • an infusion is defined by coffee powder and the second infusion is defined by milk powder or liquid milk the beverage obtained is a real cappuccino and not a normal milk and coffee.
  • flow rate - - is possible to select the flow rate of water flow for each channel; flow rate - - that depends on the number and extent of holes 25 and 26 obtained in the lid 3.
  • the capsule can be installed in the percolation element without the need to have a predefine installation direction.
  • for capsules with a number of chambers of more than two units it is possible to select which chambers are to be engaged by the water flow.
