Abstract

The device has a locking flange surrounding a base of a capsule to maintain a capsule between lower and upper tubes. A piston slides inside the upper tube so as to turn the capsule for giving a reverse shape to the capsule. An upper edge of the lower tube is slightly blunt to facilitate rupture of a cap of the capsule, and the piston that is molded in the form of the capsule, where the capsule is prevented from sliding inside the lower tube.

Description

Description de l'invention La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour séparer les capsules du café qu'elles contiennent après usage dans une cafetière haute pression .Sont ainsi facilités , après usage de l'invention, le conditionnement , la collecte , le stockage , le transport et le recyclage des capsules usagées. 10 Le rejet des capsules métalliques avec le café qu'elles contiennent, pose un problème écologique. Les capsules ne sont pas triées, le métal utilisé est inoxydable, le café qui pourrait être utilisé comme un fertilisant , est perdu . Pour être classé recyclable un emballage doit être séparé de son contenu. La séparation du café et de la capsule est donc une étape préalable et indispensable au recyclage des 15 capsules et du café. Le seul dispositif existant est industriel et nécessite plusieurs étapes pour la séparation du café et de la capsule après écrasement de la capsule pleine. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a device for separating the coffee capsules that they contain after use in a high-pressure coffee maker .Thus, it is facilitated, after use of the invention, to package, collect, store, store transport and recycling of used capsules. The rejection of the metal capsules with the coffee they contain poses an ecological problem. The capsules are not sorted, the metal used is stainless, the coffee that could be used as a fertilizer, is lost. To be classified as recyclable a package must be separated from its contents. The separation of the coffee and the capsule is therefore a preliminary and essential step in the recycling of the capsules and the coffee. The only existing device is industrial and requires several steps for the separation of coffee and capsule after crushing the full capsule.

Le dispositif, selon l'invention permet en une seule étape la séparation du café et de la capsule. Un piston, moulé à la forme de la capsule, la retrousse en poussant par le fond et son opercule cède sous la 20 pression laissant ainsi tomber le café. Les capsules ainsi retroussées ont la même forme qu'avant traitement, mais opercule ouvert. Ayant toutes la même forme ouverte elles sont empilables. Ainsi dans une boite de 10 capsules neuves on peut mettre au moins 120 capsules conditionnées. Il peut s'agir d'une machine individuelle utilisable à domicile ou pour des petits groupes, ou industrielle utilisable dans le processus industriel de recyclage. 25 Les figures 1 à 6 détaillent le déroulement du processus. The device according to the invention allows in a single step the separation of the coffee and the capsule. A piston, molded in the shape of the capsule, pushes it upwards by pushing the bottom and its lid gives way under the pressure thus letting the coffee fall. The caps thus rolled up have the same shape as before treatment, but operculum open. Having all the same open form they are stackable. Thus in a box of 10 new capsules can be put at least 120 capsules packaged. It can be an individual machine for use at home or for small groups, or industrial usable in the industrial recycling process. Figures 1-6 detail the process flow.

En référence aux dessins , le dispositif se compose de deux tubes entre les quels est bloquée la capsule et d'un piston qui coulisse dans le tube supérieur afin de retourner la capsule en la vidant du café 30 qu'elle contient .Le bourrelet de sertissage qui entoure la base de la capsule permet de la maintenir entre les deux tubes. Il empêche la capsule de glisser dans le tube inférieur car il est bloqué à l'extérieur des deux tubes. Les bords supérieurs du tube inférieur étant légèrement contondants sur une moitié pour faciliter la rupture de l'opercule de la capsule. Le bord supérieur du tube inférieur vient couper le métal de l'opercule pris entre le bord supérieur du tube inférieur et le bord inférieur du tube 35 supérieur. Le piston moulé à la forme de la capsule, glisse dans le tube supérieur qui le guide et retourne la capsule en la poussant par le fond. Sous la pression l'opercule cède laissant tomber le café. Le piston en retroussant la capsule en chasse le café. La capsule, à la fin du processus, a la même forme qu'au début, mais sa face extérieure se retrouve être la face intérieure et vice versa. L'opercule à moitié coupé reste attaché par l'autre moitié à l'extérieur de la capsule retournée. Les capsules ainsi 40 vidées de leurs contenus peuvent être empilées et conditionnées dans les emballages d'origine à raison de 120 capsules traitées par boite de 10 capsules neuves. Le volume est ainsi divisé par 12 au minimum et le poids par 20. Les capsules peuvent être stockées et transportées pour être ensuite recyclées. Referring to the drawings, the device consists of two tubes between which is blocked the capsule and a piston that slides in the upper tube to return the capsule by emptying the coffee 30 it contains .The crimping bead which surrounds the base of the capsule makes it possible to hold it between the two tubes. It prevents the capsule from slipping into the lower tube as it is blocked outside the two tubes. The upper edges of the lower tube being slightly blunt on one half to facilitate the rupture of the cap of the capsule. The upper edge of the lower tube cuts the metal of the cap between the upper edge of the lower tube and the lower edge of the upper tube. The piston molded in the shape of the capsule, slides in the upper tube which guides it and returns the capsule by pushing it by the bottom. Under pressure the lid gives way letting the coffee fall. The plunger rolls up the capsule and chases the coffee. The capsule, at the end of the process, has the same shape as at the beginning, but its outer face is found to be the inner face and vice versa. The half-cut operculum remains attached by the other half to the outside of the returned capsule. Capsules thus emptied of their contents can be stacked and packaged in the original packaging at the rate of 120 capsules treated per box of 10 new capsules. The volume is divided by at least 12 and the weight by 20. The capsules can be stored and transported for later recycling.

45 Le dispositif, selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné au recyclage, reconditionnement collecte et stockage des capsules de café. 1 45 The device according to the invention is particularly intended for recycling, reconditioning collection and storage of coffee capsules. 1
