Definitions

  • a capsule for coffee preparation which has a frusto-conical wall with a bottom portion.
  • the bottom portion is provided with a recessed structure with a locally reduced material thickness, ie with material weakenings, which serves to facilitate the penetration of blades.
  • a generic capsule which allows an improved piercing of the capsule for the purpose of liquid introduction via a preparation machine.
  • protrusion is to be understood as meaning truncated or sharp-pointed mandrel elements. For the present invention, therefore, no sharp tips are necessary, since the flap for pivoting can indeed be perforated per se, but does not have to. It can also only be touched and pushed.
  • Such a distance between the bottom section and the proximal protective film may be 0.5 to 10 millimeters, in particular about 3 to 6 millimeters, preferably about 4 or 5 millimeters.
  • the free end of a flap is the movable, pivotable portion of the flap near the associated weakening line, which projects freely against the capsule interior in the second flap position.
  • the chamber of the capsule is in particular a bulk material chamber for coffee powder, tea or tea powder, chocolate or milk powder or similar good. Liquids such as gels or thick liquid are also usable.
  • the capsule according to the invention is suitable as an improvement for any capsule which is to be opened proximally by protrusions, in particular if an inner protective foil is to be perforated by these protrusions.
  • a direction of the notch or slots may be directed perpendicular to the respective surface portion of the bottom portion. It is also possible to provide this direction inclined to this surface normal, so that the flap is easier to fold against the capsule interior. In the latter case, then the inner surface of the flap is larger than the outer surface, so that the slot or Kerbides, seen from outside to inside, runs away from a valve center.
  • the notch or the slot may be chamfered to facilitate the deployment movement.
  • this wall is made of a thermoformable, oxygen-tight, possibly multi-layered material, in particular of a polymer material, preferably of ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) and / or contains polypropylene and / or polyethylene.
  • a polymer material preferably of ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) and / or contains polypropylene and / or polyethylene.
  • the layers can also be coated (see below).
  • a preferred material thickness of the wall is at least in the area of the planar structures about 0.3 to 1.1 millimeters.
  • the weakening pattern (that is, the pattern consisting of indentations or through-slots) comprises two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight or more flaps defined by individual lines of weakness. It is advantageous if the flaps perforate the proximal protective film as much as possible when folded from the first to the second flap position. The flaps thus enhance the effect of the projections of the preparation machine.
  • a flap is provided essentially for each projection. Because the capsules are most cylindrical in symmetry, the pattern is more advantageously provided so that the projections can not all meet simultaneously between the flaps (e.g., lands or slits).
  • the connecting sections of these flaps are each non-intersecting tendons of a closed, preferably circular first imaginary path about a center of the bottom section.
  • the first imaginary trajectory and the second imaginary trajectory are arranged concentrically or intersecting so that, when used as intended, the capsule in FIG the preparation device at least one of the flaps can be pressed by at least one projection from the first flap position into the second flap position.
  • each flap in the first flap position extends away from the connection path from the center of the proximal base section or towards this center.
  • the effective curvature of the line of weakness may be inward or outward.
  • the weakening line can thus lie between the connecting path and this center or else the connecting path lies between the weakening line and this center.
  • the connection section extends substantially radially outward from the center and a multiplicity of such connection sections are arranged along a preferably circular path around the center.
  • the weakening line is formed by one or more circular arc sections and / or by polygons. It is particularly preferred if the free end of the flap has one or more tips, in particular jagged.
  • the weakening lines of all the flaps in the first flap position can form a star line (interrupted only by the webs). The tips at the free ends, formed by the tines in the associated weakening line, allow targeted selective puncturing of the proximal film, wherein upon further pivoting of the flap, the perforation is increasingly widened by the penetrating tines.
  • the third conical section 16 has a height in the L direction of about 4 to 6 millimeters, in particular about 5 millimeters and a maximum outside diameter of about 29 to 33 millimeters, in particular about 31 millimeters.
  • the invention also relates to a capsule system consisting of the one described above Capsule with a preparation machine or device or extraction device.
  • FIG. 1 shows in a plan view obliquely from above a capsule 1 with a cup-shaped wall 10th
  • FIG. 2 10 shows a plan view of the proximal surface of the bottom portion 100.
  • the wall comprises a substantially frustoconical wall with a step and a convexly outwardly arched bottom portion 100 mounted in a distal end portion of the capsule 1.
  • the bottom portion 100 has a circular rim 1000 and a Circle center 121 on.
  • the capsule 1 extends from the proximal bottom portion 100 along a L-axis extending cylinder axis of symmetry to a distal end where a flange 2 is mounted.
  • the frustoconical capsule 1 forms a bounded by the wall 10 and distally increasing chamber 3.
  • This chamber 3 is suitable for bulk material such as coffee powder, tea powder, milk powder, chocolate powder or other types of powder or beverage ingredients and, for example, viscous liquids or To pick up gels.
  • a weakening pattern 11 having two weakening lines 111 and 112 is provided on a proximal, that is to say outer surface of the bottom section 100.
  • These punching or weakening lines 111, 112 are either line-shaped notches which are notched into the material of the proximal bottom portion 100 or are from the proximal surface of the bottom portion 100 to a distal surface of the bottom portion 100 and thus into the capsule interior reaching cuts ,
  • the two weakening lines 112 and 111 according to the embodiment of Fig.
  • the star has a diameter which covers 50 to 100% of the proximal surface of the bottom portion 100.
  • the centroids of the flaps 101, 102 are arranged so as to be approximately on the circular path, along which projections 51, 52 (s. Fig. 4 ) of a preparation machine 5, come to rest.
  • the flaps 101, 102 are then by means of the elements 51, 52 by pressure from the outside along the bending lines in the interior of the chamber 3 for perforating a proximal protective film, which is mounted in the capsule interior, pivotable.
  • FIG. 3 shows a longitudinal cross section through the capsule 1 and chamber 3, respectively FIGS. 1 and 2 , Out FIG. 3
  • the flange 2 in the proximal direction ie, opposite to the L direction
  • protruding webs 21 and 22 has.
  • These webs 21, 22 are concentric with each other about a distal end of the capsule 1.
  • the outer web 21 is mounted radially outwardly flush with the radial end of the flange 2.
  • the inner web 22 is spaced a few millimeters from the wall 10 is attached.
  • the outer web 21 has a substantially quadrangular cross-section, while the inner web 22 is of a substantially triangular cross-sectional shape, wherein the triangular tip is located distally over the flange 2.
  • a height in the L direction of the outer web 21 is about 0.5 to 1 millimeter, the inner web 22 is two to three times as high.
  • the proximal protective film 82 is pierced during extraction according to conventionally known principles.
  • LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS 1 capsule 3 chamber 10 wall 11 Attenuation pattern to 100 4 distal outlet 100 proximal floor section 1000 Edge of 100 5 preparation machine 101 first flap 50 capsule cage 1010 free end of 101 51 first advantage 102 second flap 52 second lead 1020 free end of 102 53 Closing element of 5 103, 104 another flap 54 Channel in 53 111 first line of weakness 1111 first corner of 111 71 first conical section of 10 1112 second corner of 111 112 second line of weakness 72 second conical section of 10 1121 first corner of 121 1122 second corner of 112 73 third conical section of 10 113, 114 further weakening lines 74 broadening stage 120 web 75 recess 121 Center of 100 81 proximal protective film 2 flange-like edge 82 distal protective film
