Definitions
- the invention relates to processes for the preparation of beverages, e.g. ex. coffee, by introducing water into an element containing a concentrated dose of product, e.g. ex. ground coffee, and by extraction of the mixture thus obtained and more particularly the devices used for this purpose.
- the element is presented p. ex. in the form of a capsule or other equivalent container which is introduced into a cage, for example called capsule cage.
- the introduction of water into the capsule-type element is achieved by drilling at least one wall of the element.
- the extraction can be achieved by drilling, tearing or bursting of a wall of the element or by another equivalent process.
- the cage allows in particular the maintenance of the element (for example the capsule) containing the dose of product during the process of extraction and preparation of the drink.
- the cage-capsule combination (or any other element containing the product dose) must be sealed during extraction and allow their separation once the extraction process is complete.
- One of the objects of the invention is to provide a device for the preparation of a beverage which is improved.
- an object of the present invention is to provide an extraction device which both maintains an optimum seal during the extraction process and which at the same time allows easy separation of the cage and the element containing, for example a capsule, once the extraction process is complete.
- the cage comprises a flange with at least one groove, said groove being closed by at least one bottom preventing a direct link between the inside and the outside of the cage.
- the cage may include a plurality of grooves.
- the groove (s) can extend perpendicular to the axis of the cage or not.
- the grooves may have the same length or different lengths.
- the grooves can have the same depth or different depths.
- the grooves may have the same shape or different shapes.
- the groove or grooves can be formed in the cage directly or not.
- the groove or grooves may be formed in at least one part attached to the cage or in one or more parts and in the cage or formed by parts fixed to the cage.
- the part (s) can be attached to the cage or fixed (s) force on it. Any other equivalent attachment means (gluing, screwing, etc.) may be considered within the scope of the present invention.
- the bottom of the groove may be formed of an added part (fixed, reported etc) or not. He can be trained in the cage.
- the part or parts may be in the same material as the cage or in another material.
- the cage may be in combination with a capsule, for example a coffee capsule.
- the capsule may comprise seal means, such as a bead or spike of material.
- the invention also relates to a device for extracting a beverage comprising a cage as defined in the present application with or without a capsule.
- Figure 1 illustrates a perspective view of a cage 1, for example a capsule cage.
- the cage 1 comprises a flange 2 which is provided, as in the publications mentioned above, with grooves 3 extending perpendicular to the axis of the cage.
- the grooves 3 according to the present invention do not extend over the entire rim but end before reaching the inner wall 4 of the cage 3 by a bottom 5 which creates grooves 3 "cul-de-sac" closed at one of their ends.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 are front and sectional views of the rim 2 of the cage 1.
- FIG. 4 illustrate cage configurations according to the invention with different capsules having a seal or not, the left side of the figures being the inside of the cage (where the capsule is located).
- the cage 1 according to the invention is associated with a capsule 10 which comprises a bead of material on its rim 10 'which allows a seal in the bottom 5 of the groove 3 by depressing the bottom 5 in the bead 1 ,
- the cage 1 according to the invention is associated with a capsule 12 which comprises a peak 13 of material on its rim 12 'which allows a seal in the bottom 5 of the groove 3 by driving the bottom into the peak 13.
- This peak 13 may have the illustrated form or another equivalent form, for example square etc.
- the cage 1 according to the invention is associated with a capsule 14 which does not comprise any particular seal element on its flange 14 '. Nevertheless, in such a configuration, a good cage-capsule seal is obtained by the particular configuration of the groove 3 according to the invention with its bottom 5 in application of the principles explained above.
- the invention is not limited to the embodiments described in the present application and variations are possible within the scope of the claimed protection.
- grooves 3 can be formed in the rim 2 of the cage and the figures are only illustrative of the principle. It is also possible to place more than one bottom 5 per groove 3.
- the length of the grooves ⁇ and the thickness of the bottom may be the same in each groove 3 or different.
- the grooves 2 may be strictly perpendicular to the axis of the cage 1 or may have a slope: that is to say they will be deeper on one side (for example on the bottom side 5 than on the other side).
- the grooves 3 may have a constant width (as illustrated in FIG. 2 for example) or not, so that they may be wider (or less wide) on the bottom side or the other.
- the grooves may be perpendicular to the axis of the cage or not.
- the grooves may have a shape that extends along a rectilinear axis, or along a curved axis.
- its grooves 3 are formed by any suitable method directly into the rim of the cage. Otherwise, it is also possible to provide a suitable part (for example a removable rim) which carries these grooves 3 and which is mounted on a cage 3 that it has grooves or not.
- a suitable part for example a removable rim
- a removable edge allows to change according to wear without changing cage.
- the use of a removable flange also allows to choose appropriate materials that would not be the same as that of the cage 1. These materials may be metal, or a synthetic material for example or other suitable material.
- the described modes of execution and their characteristics can be combined with each other at will, depending on the circumstances.
