Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a capsule for preparing infusion beverages.
  • the art propose a wide variety of automatic or semi-automatic machines equipped with a preparing and delivering assembly adapted to produce an infusion through the passage of hot water through a capsule containing the essence to be infused, such as, for example, tea, coffee, tisanes, chocolate milk, etc.
  • known capsules are a disposable pre-packaged dose of the substance to be infused closed inside a container made of plastic material enclosed by a cover made of plastic or an aluminum foil.
  • Wo2008/116818 A1 discloses a capsule for preparing infusion beverages, equipped with a small plate in which dripping-preventing openings are inserted.
  • Object of the present invention is solving the above prior art problems, by providing a capsule for preparing infusion beverages, in particular coffee, comprising a base equipped with a dripping-preventing system which, by exploiting the capillarity principle, prevents fluids remaining inside the capsule from going out once this latter one is disengaged from the infusing assembly of the preparing machine.
  • the capsule 1 according to the present invention for preparing infusion beverages, in particular coffee, chocolate milk and other soluble substances comprises at least one containing body 3 having at least one base 5 and, usually, at least one opening 6 opposed to such base 5 adapted to be closed by at least one cover (for example through a protecting aluminum layer), such containing body 3 comprising at least one internal volume V adapted to contain at least one substance to be infused or melted, typically in grain or powder form.
  • the base 5 is equipped with at least one outlet nozzle 4 of the infusion beverage from the internal volume V and is equipped with a dripping-preventing system comprising at least one internal surface, preferably of the base 5, equipped with at least one relief 7', 7", 7"' internally surrounding the nozzle 4, such relief 7' , 7" , 7"' being equipped with one or more openings 9', 9", 9"' with suitably reduced sizes to allow the passage of at least one flow F of infusion beverage from the internal volume V of the containing body 3 to the nozzle 4 under the action of the pressure exerted by the infusion flow of hot water delivered by the infusing assembly (of any known type in the art) of the preparing machine inside which the capsule 1 is inserted and prevent, due to the capillarity effect, the passage of liquids from the internal volume V of the containing body 3 to the nozzle 4 when the pressure decreases below a threshold value or ceases, and in particular when the capsule 1 is disengaged from the infusing assembly.
  • a dripping-preventing system compris
  • the base 5 of a preferred embodiment of the capsule 1 according to the present invention is equipped with three of such reliefs 7', 7", 7"' of a substantially circular shape and arranged concentric to the nozzle 4 with respect to a longitudinal axis S-S of the base 5.
  • the openings 9', 9", 9"' are composed of grooves arranged on the surface of the respective reliefs 7', 7", 7"' facing the internal volume V of the containing body 3: preferably, in order to increase the length of the obliged path which the flow F of infusion beverage is compelled to follow from the internal volume V to the nozzle 4 through the openings 9', 9", 9"', these latter ones can be arranged diagonally with respect to the radius of each relief 7', 7", 7"' and, always with the same purpose, still more preferably, the openings 9', 9", 9"' of adjacent reliefs 7', 7", 7"' can be arranged diagonally with respect to the radius of each relief 7', 7", 7"' and with opposite angles.
  • At least one portion of the internal surface of the base 5 can be covered by at least one protecting layer 11, for example made of an aluminum foil welded or glued at least onto the reliefs 7', 7", 7"', such protecting layer 11 being able to be perforated and/or torn through any known prior art drilling or cutting means, in order to create at least one passage P for the infusion beverage from the internal volume V of the containing body 3 towards the delivery nozzle 4 through the openings 9', 9", 9"' of the reliefs 7', 7", 7"'.
