- the sub ⁇ substance can then be extracted or dissolved either.
- a barrier membrane which can be ruptured under an internal pressure in the chamber is arranged above the outlet opening. This is directly or indirectly on its outer circumference connected to the capsule body.
- the barrier membrane is additionally connected to at least one support element on the side facing the outlet opening. This support element is preferably arranged in a central region of the barrier membrane.
- the tear resistance can be better controlled by the additional support and firm connection of the barrier membrane.
- this can cause a rupture of the barrier membrane in the region of the support element, so that the loose parts of the barrier membrane remain attached to the outer circumference after tearing.
- the at least one support element may have a different configuration.
- it has a peripheral surface and a connecting surface connected to the barrier membrane, which surfaces together form an edge in cross-section.
- Ersichtli ⁇ chlay must the bonding surface be sufficiently large so that a firm connection sen for example by gluing or Schweis- is ensured with the barrier membrane.
- the edge causes the depression of the barrier membrane under the pressure, a high increase in the rice tension, so that the tearing takes place in this area.
- the peripheral surface and the connecting surface ⁇ can in cross-section an angle of 45 ° to 135 ° include. For manufacturing reasons, an angle of 90 ° or a little more advantageous.
- the support member may be formed as a prismatic body or hollow body or as a cylinder or hollow cylinder. Other configuration, such as Of course, a truncated cone or a truncated pyramid are conceivable.
- a further increase in the rice tension in the region of the edge can be achieved if the support element exceeds the plane of the surmounted senrises the barrier membrane. By this measure, a wrinkle-free clamping of the barrier membrane can be effected.
- the barrier membrane may be a film made of plastic, metal, paper or a laminate consisting of different materials. Depending on the contents of the capsule and the desired tear behavior, the skilled person will select the appropriate material. Further advantages can be achieved if one or more outlet openings are arranged in the support body or around the support body. The remaining on the outer circumference of the barrier membrane after tearing in this way conduct the liquid against the outlet openings and can not close or restrict them.
- the support element is preferably integrally integrated in an outlet connection at the bottom of the capsule body.
- the leaking from ⁇ liquid can be passed directly into a vessel. Can thereby be such config- gured that a turbulent flow for frothing the liquid is effected from ⁇ overflow openings and / or outlet connection.
- a turbulent flow for frothing the liquid is effected from ⁇ overflow openings and / or outlet connection.
- flow elements may be arranged with which a swirl-like flow can be achieved.
- filter plate includes any suitable
- Retention means such as a mesh plate or perforated plate or a filter element made of a nonwoven material.
- the barrier membrane is also provided with predetermined tear lines, which are arranged such that the tearing takes place around the supporting body.
- the barrier membrane may be secured on its outer periphery on a hollow cylindrical ring at the bottom of the capsule body.
- the invention also relates to a capsule body for a capsule as described above.
- the capsule body can be with ⁇ translated barrier membrane and with any other built-in components such. B. sieve be completed so that it only needs to be filled with the substance and sealed with the lid.
- the invention also relates to a system comprising an above capsule and described a Getränkezurungsmaschi- ne with a holder for receiving the capsule and means for passing a liquid through the capsule, we ⁇ tendonss arranged a penetration element for penetrating the lid of the capsule to the bracket is.
- the term holder is to be understood in particular also a brewing chamber, which may be composed of several parts.
- Figure 1 shows a cross section through an inventive
- FIG. 2 shows the capsule according to FIG. 1 after rupture of the barrier membrane
- FIG. 3 shows a cross-section in a perspective view through a capsule body with inserted barrier membrane
- FIG. 4 shows the capsule body according to FIG. 3, but without
- Figure 5 is a schematic cross section through an alternative attachment of a barrier membrane in a greatly enlarged representation
- Figure 6 is a partially cutaway perspective Dar ⁇ position by an embodiment containing more ⁇ reren support elements
- Figure 7 A trained as a prismatic hollow body
- FIG. 8 shows a support element designed as a hollow cylinder
