Definitions

  • the invention relates to a portion capsule for making a beverage such as coffee or tea in a beverage device with an outer capsule, which is closed at its outlet end by a beverage outlet having a housing bottom and at the opposite inlet end forms an opening which is closed by a film which a device is perforable to press water into the capsule interior, wherein within the outer capsule, an inner capsule is arranged, the interior of which contains a beverage substrate, granules and / or powder.
  • Such portion capsules are known in the most varied versions from the patent literature.
  • the hot water flows in either through the housing bottom of the outer capsule and out through the film again, which closes the opening of the capsule or, as in the embodiment of the invention, through the film and through a beverage outlet in the housing bottom of the outer capsule out again.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a portion capsule of the type mentioned in the case of simple and inexpensive construction and assembly and high quality maintenance and aroma safety high reliability.
  • Such an embodiment leads to an optimal cavity filling in plastic injection molding.
  • the inner capsule opens with certainty to the beverage outlet, so that the beverage produced can flow out of the capsule.
  • the capsule is particularly simple in construction and assembly. Furthermore, during storage, the contents of the inner capsule are kept unchanged for a long time, so that aroma losses do not arise.
  • the weak point in the wall or in the floor is opened by the fact that the plastic material thinner or thinner at this point is executed weaker.
  • the bottom of the inner capsule as a weak point near its outer edge has at least one thin point or at least one tear line in order to achieve a safe opening by the water pressure. It is advantageous if the weak points lie on a circle which is centric to the center of the bottom of the inner capsule and whose diameter is 1 ⁇ 2 to 9/10 of the diameter of the bottom.
  • a flow delay and a secure anti-drip device are achieved by covering on the bottom of the inner capsule an inner plate whose circular outer edge extends to the inner wall of the inner capsule, wherein the inner plate has flow channels, through the liquid from the interior of the inner capsule to the weak points of Bottom of the inner capsule flows.
  • the flow channels notches and / or grooves in the outer edge of the inner plate.
  • particles contained in the beverage substrate are securely retained when a sieve covers the inner plate.
  • a secure wetting and optimal distribution of the water in the beverage substrate is achieved in that the interior of the inner capsule is separated into a top space and a subspace by a perforated plate or perforated film, which is parallel to the bottom of the inner capsule and entering the upper space water distributed over the beverage substrate located in the subspace.
  • a filter is arranged on the top and / or bottom of the bottom of the inner capsule.
  • the filter should consist of a polypropylene fabric with a liquid permeability of 1400 to 400, preferably from 1200 to 800 L / dm 2 / min.
  • an aroma-resistant storage of the beverage substrate in the inner capsule is achieved when the inner capsule comprise or consist of a water vapor and / or oxygen-barrier material.
  • the side wall and / or the bottom of the inner capsule may have two outer layers of a non-barrier material and have a barrier layer or barrier layer therebetween.
  • the inner capsule is constructed in layers with a barrier layer or barrier layer of polyolefin with embedded ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) or of a biodegradable polyactide (PLA) with embedded EVOH or polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH).
  • the portion capsule 1 is intended to be used in a beverage device, in particular in a coffee or tea machine, to provide a beverage, in particular coffee or tea from a substrate, granules or powder, which is located within the capsule.
  • the portion capsule 1 has a cup-shaped inner capsule 2, in which the substrate, granules or powder is and which is enclosed by a cup-shaped outer capsule 3.
  • Both capsules 2, 3 are open to one side, in this case the inlet end 4a, this opening 5 being closed by a film or film 6 which is attached to the flange-shaped edge 3a of the outer capsule and the in particular flange-shaped edge of the inner capsule, so that the opening 5 is securely closed.
  • the film / film 6 simultaneously closes the opening of the inner capsule 2 at the inlet end 4a.
  • the inner capsule 2 in the reusable outer capsule 3 releasably secured and thus interchangeable, so that only the particular cartridge-shaped inner capsule must be disposed of.
  • the outer capsule 3 has a housing bottom 8, which has a beverage outlet 9, wherein between the housing bottom 10 of the inner capsule and the housing bottom 8 of the outer capsule is a gap 11.
  • the inner capsule 2 has in its bottom 10 at least one particular arcuate weak point 13 in the plastic of the inner capsule 2, which opens at the applied in the inner capsule fluid pressure breaks or ruptures to pass liquid from the interior of the inner capsule to the beverage outlet 9.
  • the vulnerability consists of a tear line, so that when tearing a part of the housing bottom 10 breaks down.
  • This vulnerability 13 may also be a tear notch, tear seam or other type of weakening.
  • the bottom 10 of the inner capsule 2 on four particular arcuate weaknesses 13, which are evenly distributed over a circle that is near the bottom edge centric and thus coaxial with the central axis M of the portion capsule.
  • the plastic of the bottom has such a small thickness that there the plastic breaks through / ruptures caused by the inside of the inner capsule fluid pressure.
  • a filter layer between the bottom 10 of the inner capsule 2 and the bottom 8 of the outer capsule 3 is preferably a filter layer, not shown, to ensure that particles of the contents of the inner capsule 2 can not escape through the beverage outlet 9.
  • the top and / or the underside of the housing bottom 10 of the inner capsule is covered with a filter layer (not shown), in order to prevent particles emerging through the weak points 13 from reaching the beverage outlet 9.
  • the wall of the inner capsule 2 consists of a barrier layer or barrier layer of ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) or of polyolefin embedded interlayer of ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) or of a biodegradable polyactide (PLA) with embedded intermediate layer of EVOH or polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH).
  • EVOH ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer
  • PLA biodegradable polyactide
  • PVOH polyvinyl alcohol
  • the inner capsule 2 (as well as the outer capsule 3) is produced by plastic injection molding. It is important that when injecting the plastic into the center of the housing bottom 10 forming cavity of the injection mold, the plastic melt flows evenly from the center to the circular edge of the soil. But here are the weak points 13 as thin spots in the way, each producing a flow resistance and hinder the melt flow. In order nevertheless to obtain a uniform flow to the outer edge of the bottom 10 and also to the side wall 12 of the inner capsule 2, 13 arcuate thin spots 20 are arranged between the weak points, which lie on the circle on which the weak points 13 and its center is the center of the bottom 10 of the inner capsule 2, which is also the starting point of the inner capsule.
  • the material has a greater thickness than in the region of the weak points, so that it is ensured that only the weak points 13 and not the thin areas 20 are torn open or break open due to the fluid pressure within the portion capsule.
  • the thin areas 20 have a greater radial width B1 than the radial width B2 of the weak points 13th
  • arc-shaped weak points 13 and four arcuate thin bodies 20 are arranged therebetween, which together form a continuous circle.
  • three, five, or six weak points and thin points can each form a circle.
  • the bottom 10 of the inner capsule, the weak points 13 and the thin spots 20 preferably have the following dimensions: Thickness (mm) width (mm) Arc length (degrees) Bottom 10 of the inner capsule 0.5 - 1.0 - - preferably 0.7 Weak points 13 0.10-0.20 0.1 - 0.3 5 - 15 ° preferably 0.15 preferably 0.2 preferably 10 ° Thin spots 20 0.20-0.30 1.0 to 2.0 75 - 85 ° preferably 0.25 preferably 1.3 preferably 80 °
  • an inner capsule 2 is shown, on the bottom 10 (with weak points 13 and thin spots 20) an inner plate 30 rests, which covers the floor over the entire surface and thus is parallel to the ground.
  • an inner plate 30 rests, which covers the floor over the entire surface and thus is parallel to the ground.
  • the circular outer edge 31 of the inner plate 30 are numerous notches and / or grooves 35, which allow a flow of water coming from the interior of the inner capsule so that the pressurized water flows around the outer edge 31 to the weak points 13 in Floor 10 to arrive. This achieves a flow delay and also prevents the water from dripping out of the portion capsule.
  • a screen 33 overlying the inner plate 30 retains substrate particles.
  • a perforated plate 34 is mounted parallel to the bottom 10 and parallel to the upper cover sheet 6, which separates the interior into a top space 15a and a subspace 15b.
  • the water passes through the lance 7, and through the holes in the perforated plate 34, the water flows into the subspace 15b storing the beverage substrate.
  • the holes are arranged in the perforated plate at regular intervals, so that the water is evenly distributed in the substrate.
