Definitions

  • the present invention refers to the field of capsules for edible products.
  • the present invention further refers to processes for producing and disassembling a capsule including the preparation of beverages by means of extracting aromatic edible substances such as for example coffee of the espresso type, tea and similar, and the separation of respective residues after said preparation of beverages.
  • the prior art includes many solutions relating to single-dose recipients containing a certain quantity of at least one aromatic edible product in an interior volume, and configured so that they can be processed in the extraction device of a respective beverage preparation machine, such as for example a machine for coffee of the espresso type.
  • a respective beverage preparation machine such as for example a machine for coffee of the espresso type.
  • said capsules with a basic configuration of cylindrical or frusto-conic container and produced in substantially rigid material, in particular synthetic materials.
  • the peripheral engagement of these elements holds particular importance on the tightness of the capsule.
  • the constructive configuration and the materials are usually dimensioned so as to ensure tightness conditions of the capsule envelope to the passage of oxygen and to resist to the pressures that the capsule is submitted inside of a respective extraction device, including outside pressure and inside pressure generated by the release of gases when pressurized water impinges the aromatic substance, for example roasted and grinded coffee.
  • the wall thickness commonly used in the market is bigger than 1,0 mm.
  • the lid-like element of the capsules is usually submitted to bigger pressure forces, notably when engaged in a respective extraction device of a beverage preparation machine and when submitted to the injection of a pressurized water flow on the side of the capsule that is oriented towards the upstream flow.
  • the relevant prior art includes several solutions relating to the structural optimization of substantially rigid recipients in synthetic material (e.g., US 7,169,418 B2 , US 7,712,624 B2 ).
  • document FR 2970242 A1 discloses a capsule that includes a lid-like element presenting an engagement indent in respective edge, adapted so as to engage with a respective male engagement element provided in the top edge of the sidewall of the container-like element.
  • document US 2013/0139699 A1 discloses a capsule presenting a mechanic pressurized engagement of the lid-like and container-like elements that develops along the perimeter of the lid-like element and with two engagement elements in two regions of reduced extension relative to the perimeter.
  • This document further discloses structural reinforcement elements developing along part of the sidewall and of the base wall of the container-like part.
  • the solutions disclosed in prior art do not minimize the amount of material used in the capsule, notably in view of the type of pressure forces that the capsule is submitted in the case of extraction in a beverage preparation machine.
  • the goal of the present invention is to provide a capsule for collection of a dose of at least one edible substance, including coffee, tea, chocolate and similar, provided in substantially rigid general construction and construction material, and in particular adapted for use in the preparation of aromatic beverages by extraction, that provides closure of the main construction elements by mechanical engagement means, and simultaneously bigger structural resistance, in particular so that it resists the pressure forces that it is submitted to in a beverage preparation process by means of extraction, so as to minimize the quantity of construction material used without constrain of the general long-term oxygen tightness.
  • Another goal of the present invention is to provide processes for producing and disassembling capsules, in particular a capsule according to the invention, that reduces the energy use in the assembly of capsules and that incentives recycling of residues of the edible substance and of the capsule.
  • Figure 1 represents a first embodiment of a capsule (1) according to the invention presenting a first construction element (2) provided in a container-like form including a base wall element (21) and a sidewall element (22), and a second construction element (3) provided in a lid-like form including a top element (31) in a circular disc form, and adapted for mechanical engagement along a respective perimeter region and so that they jointly define an axial symmetry axis (XX).
  • said construction elements (2, 3) are adapted for assembly by means of pressurized mechanical engagement of the respective edge zones.
  • said top element (31) presents an indent engagement element (32) in the exterior perimeter that provides a recess oriented towards the interior of the capsule (1).
  • said top element (31) further presents a plurality of structural reinforcement elements (33) arranged on the side of the top element (31) that is oriented towards the interior of the capsule (1) and in the proximity of the indent engagement element (32).
  • These structural reinforcement elements (33) provide a high structural resistance to the second construction element (3) enabling a reduction of the wall thickness (e 31 ) at least of the second construction element (3) and depending on the construction material, also of at least part of said first construction element (2).
  • said structural reinforcement elements (33) operate together with the engagement elements (23, 32) so as to jointly reinforce the structural resistance of the mechanical engagement between the construction elements (2, 3).
  • structural reinforcement elements (33) such as for example four, five or six.
  • said first construction element (2) it is provided in its edge with a male engagement element (23), preferentially configured in a wedge-like form or similar, and dimensioned so as to engage in a pressured tight manner inside of said indent engagement element (32) provided on the edge of said second construction element (3).
  • said structural reinforcement elements (33) present a triangular format of wedge-like type or similar, whereby one of the two orthogonal triangle sides develops along at least a third of the value of the radius of said top element (31) and the other of the two orthogonal triangle sides develops along the vertical direction in the zone closed to the perimeter edge of said top element (31).
  • the edge of said structural reinforcement elements (33) that is oriented towards the exterior of the capsule (1) is disposed at a distance from the indent engagement element (32) that is bigger than the thickness of said sidewall element (22) of said second construction element (2). Moreover, it is preferred when the edge of said structural reinforcement elements (33) that is oriented towards the interior of the capsule (1) does not extend beyond said indent engagement element (32) along the direction of the interior of the capsule (1).
  • the remaining closure assembly is thereafter carried out by means of applying a compression force upon the second construction element (3) so that the two construction elements (2, 3) result in substantially blocked engagement.
  • said indent engagement element (32) is provided with an engagement dimension (e) that is variable along the respective perimeter, in particular with a zone of bigger dimension that facilitates the initial introduction of said engagement element (23) in a respective perimeter region.
  • the closing assembly of the construction elements (2, 3) can thus be carried out by means of initial pressure followed by rotating compression, so that a substantial part of the perimeter gets in closing engagement under an additional pressure.
  • This embodiment is advantageous in terms of simplicity of carrying out the assembly manually and in terms of enhanced tightness of the capsule (1) relative to oxygen.
  • the engagement element (23) can be provided with an engagement dimension (e) that varies along the perimeter, including a variation substantially corresponding to that of the indent engagement element (32) .
  • At least one of said structural reinforcement elements (33) presents a reduction of cross section so as to facilitate the initial engagement of the engagement element (23) in the respective indent engagement element (32).
  • Figure 4 represents two embodiments of a capsule (1) according to the invention, provided in a substantially rigid synthetic material and presenting a first construction element (2) with a general form of cylindrical or frusto-conic type that presents a sidewall element (22) with an optimized wall thickness (e 22 ), in particular smaller than 0,8 mm.
  • the first construction element (2) can be configured only in form of the container wall (drawing on the top left), adapted so as to be assembled with a respective base wall element (21) (top right) .
  • This base wall element (21) presents a wall thickness (e 21 ) that is smaller than 1,2 mm, preferentially smaller than 0,8 mm.
  • the capsule (1) further presents a second construction element (3) configured in a lid-like form, and that includes a top element (31) adapted so as to mechanically engage with said first construction element (2).
  • the top element (31) is likewise optimized so as to present a wall thickness (e 31 ) smaller than 1,0 mm.
  • Figure 5 represents other embodiments of a capsule (1) according to the present invention, whereby in this case the first construction element (2) is provided as a single piece presenting a container form.
  • the wall thickness of the different construction elements may vary so as to optimize the structural resistance as a function of the expectable requirements in different zones of the capsule (1).
  • the sidewall element (22) presents a wall thickness (e 22a ) at a superior zone and a different wall thickness (e 22b ) at an inferior zone.
  • the base wall element (21) presents sections (21a, 21b) of different inclination relative to the symmetry axis XX, and presenting different wall thickness (e 21a , e 21b ).
  • said construction elements (2, 3) are provided in at least one synthetic material, including thermoplastics including polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyethylene (PE), low density polyethylene (LDPE), polyamine (PA), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and bio-polymers in particular with biodegradable characteristics, preferentially different, preferentially presenting a bigger rigidity in the case of the top element (31), whereby they are preferentially produced in a single piece.
  • thermoplastics including polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyethylene (PE), low density polyethylene (LDPE), polyamine (PA), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and bio-polymers in particular with biodegradable characteristics, preferential
  • At least part of said construction elements (2, 3) is provided in a biodegradable material.
  • Figures 6 , 7 and 8 represent relevant parts of a process of use of a capsule (1) according to the present invention, in particular with the advantages of lesser use of construction material resulting from the optimization of the structural resistance and of the mechanic closure assembly.
  • Figure 6 basically represents a process of assembling a capsule (1) according to the present invention, including the steps of supplying a first construction element (2), preferentially with a sidewall thickness (e 22 ) of at most 0,8 mm, filling thereof with a dose (4) of at least one edible substance, including at least one aromatic substance such as for example roasted and grind coffee, and closing assembly of a respective second construction element (3), preferentially presenting a top wall thickness (e 31 ) of at most 1,0 mm, upon said first construction element (2).
  • this closing assembly is carried out by means of applying a mechanical force of axial compression and rotation, without applying thermal energy including by means of using welding processes or other with supply of thermal energy, or adhesion means including of glue type and similar.
  • the capsule (1) is used by an extraction device (5) (represented only in indicative manner) comprised in a beverage preparation machine (not represented).
  • said extraction device (5) usually presents two actuation parts (6, 7) that engage the capsule (1) so as to inject a pressurized hot water flow inside thereof and to collect the resulting beverage, usually from the side opposed to the injection side, and respective delivery to a beverage discharge.
  • Figure 7 represents two main moments of said engagement of a capsule (1) between said actuation parts (6, 7), in particular in an initial opening position (top drawing) and in a closed position.
  • the preparation of espresso type coffee represents a particularly demanding case in terms of the structural resistance of a capsule (1).
  • attention is called to the fact that it is during the closed position, in particular during the injection of the pressurized water flow and during the pressure increase inside as a result of the release of gases by the coffee, that the structure of the capsule (1) is submitted to more relevant efforts.
  • Figure 8 represents the disassembly of a capsule (1) according to the invention, after having prepared a beverage, for example as described above.
  • the process thus basically includes the provision of a previously assembled capsule (1), the application of a mechanical force in the engagement zone between said first and second construction elements (2, 3) so as to remove the respective engagement by positive locking, and the separation of said first and second construction elements (2, 3), now considered as synthetic material residues meant for recycling, and of the dose (4), now considered as organic waste residues, for example coffee residues, due for further valorisation.
  • the simplicity of disassembling the capsule (1) advantageously provides for that the final users can do this operation.
  • said engagement elements (23, 32) and/or structural reinforcement elements (33) are provided so that a disassembly of the capsule (1) requires a rotation movement that results in a substantial deformation and/or destruction of at least one of said structural reinforcement elements (33) so that it is not possible to carry out a later assembly thereof.
