DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION
del brevetto per Invenzione Industriale avente per titolo of the patent for Industrial Invention having the title
CAPSULA MONODOSE IN PLASTICA PER MACCHINA DA CAFFÈ SINGLE-DOSE PLASTIC CAPSULE FOR COFFEE MACHINE
La presente invenzione industriale si riferisce ad una capsula specifica per macchine da caffè espresso, sistema a capsule monodose, realizzata in materiale plastico resistente alla temperatura del vapore, che durante il processo investe il contenitore della miscela. The present industrial invention refers to a specific capsule for espresso coffee machines, a single-dose capsule system, made of plastic material resistant to the temperature of the steam, which, during the process, strikes the container of the mixture.
E’ noto che dette capsule vengono preferibilmente realizzate in alluminio, date le sue caratteristiche meccaniche, ma anche in plastica del tipo PET cioè non degradabile, che pur avendo costi inferiori presenta inconvenienti allo smaltimento, non essendo chiara l'appartenenza delle capsule usate alle plastiche od ai materiali organici per ciò che riguarda i fondi del caffè in esse contenuti. It is known that said capsules are preferably made of aluminum, given its mechanical characteristics, but also of plastic of the PET type, i.e. non-degradable, which, despite having lower costs, has drawbacks to disposal, since it is not clear whether the capsules used belong to plastics. or to organic materials as regards the coffee grounds they contain.
Il presente trovato si propone di risolvere detto inconveniente realizzando una capsula in PLA che potrebbe essere correttamente smaltito assieme ai fondi del caffè, stante la sua degradabilità nel tempo. The present invention aims to solve said drawback by making a PLA capsule which could be correctly disposed of together with the coffee grounds, given its degradability over time.
Tuttavia il PLA polilattide termoplastico derivato da risorse rinnovabili di origine vegetale quali l’amido di mais, la canna da zucchero o nel caso specifico la cassava o tapioca, a differenza del PET che deriva dal petrolio, presenta caratteristiche meccaniche insufficienti all’uso richiesto, infatti il prodotto oggi sul mercato risulta indeformabile fino ad una temperatura di circa 30°, ben lontana da quello di esercizio di una macchina per il caffè. However, the thermoplastic polylactide PLA derived from renewable resources of plant origin such as corn starch, sugar cane or, in this specific case, cassava or tapioca, unlike PET that derives from petroleum, has insufficient mechanical characteristics for the required use, in fact, the product on the market today is non-deformable up to a temperature of about 30 °, far from the operating temperature of a coffee machine.
Si è quindi ricorso ad un PLA cosi detto "rinforzato” capace di sopportare temperature anche di 130° senza segni evidenti di deformazione, quindi perfettamente idoneo alla costruzione di dette capsule che richiedono temperature di esercizio di circa 100° (acqua in ebollizione, vapore a pressione atmosferica). A so-called "reinforced" PLA was therefore used, capable of withstanding temperatures of up to 130 ° without obvious signs of deformation, therefore perfectly suitable for the construction of said capsules that require operating temperatures of about 100 ° (boiling water, steam at atmospheric pressure).
Queste ed altre caratteristiche risulteranno ora maggiormente in relazione ad una semplice forma di esecuzione del trovato data a puro titolo indicativo e non limitativa delia portata del presente brevetto. These and other characteristics will now result more in relation to a simple embodiment of the invention given purely by way of indication and not limiting the scope of the present patent.
Con riferimento ai disegni allegati nei quali a: With reference to the attached drawings in which to:
Tav. 1 , figg.1 ,2. Table 1, figs. 1, 2.
E’ rappresentato il trovato in vista prospettica, nella tradizionale conformazione, mentre a fig. 2 è rappresentato il FTIR del nuovo materiale secondo le norme statunitensi ASTM E 1252-98 (2007). American Section of thè International Association for Testing Materials. The invention is represented in perspective view, in the traditional conformation, while in fig. 2 shows the FTIR of the new material according to the US standards ASTM E 1252-98 (2007). American Section of the International Association for Testing Materials.
Come è noto il FTI R (spettroscopia infrarossa o spettroscopia IR) è una tecnica spettroscopica di assorbimento normalmente utilizzata nel campo della chimica analitica della caratterizzazione dei materiali. In un tipico spettro infrarosso in ascissa troviamo una scala di frequenze espresse in lunghezza d’onda "Wavenumbers (cm-1 )'\ ovvero quantità di onde per centimetro, e in ordinata la percentuale di trasmittanza "%T". Se un materiale è trasparente alla radiazione infrarossa il suo spettro si presenterà come una linea parallela all'asse delle ascisse. Se un materiale non è completamente trasparente si verificheranno degli assorbimenti e quindi delle transizioni tra livelli energetici vibrazionali. As is known, the FTI R (infrared spectroscopy or IR spectroscopy) is an absorption spectroscopic technique normally used in the field of analytical chemistry of the characterization of materials. In a typical infrared spectrum on the abscissa we find a scale of frequencies expressed in wavelength "Wavenumbers (cm-1) '\ or quantity of waves per centimeter, and in the ordinate the percentage of transmittance"% T ". If a material is transparent to infrared radiation, its spectrum will appear as a line parallel to the abscissa axis.If a material is not completely transparent, there will be absorptions and therefore transitions between vibrational energy levels.
In questo secondo caso lo spettro registrato sarà caratterizzato da una serie di picchi di altezza variabile per ciascuna transizione, caratteristici dei vari componenti. In this second case the recorded spectrum will be characterized by a series of peaks of variable height for each transition, characteristic of the various components.
Nel caso in oggetto la serie di picchi registrati indica in un campione di PLA al 98% la presenza di elementi tali da modificarne le caratteristiche meccaniche complessive secondo le specifiche richieste. In the case in question, the series of peaks recorded indicates in a 98% PLA sample the presence of elements such as to modify its overall mechanical characteristics according to the required specifications.
In pratica i particolari di esecuzione, le dimensioni, i materiali, la forma e simili del trovato, potranno comunque variare senza uscire dal dominio della presente privativa industriale, infatti il trovato così concepito è suscettibile di numerose modifiche e varianti tutte rientranti nell'ambito del concetto inventivo. Inoltre tutti gli elementi sono sostituibili da altri elementi tecnicamente equivalenti. In practice, the details of execution, the dimensions, the materials, the shape and the like of the invention may in any case vary without departing from the domain of the present industrial patent, in fact the invention thus conceived is susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the inventive concept. Furthermore, all the elements can be replaced by other technically equivalent elements.
