Coffee bean packaging cartridge and coffee beverage system including the same 5 The invention relates to a coffee beverage system including a coffee bean packaging cartridge. In particular the invention relates to a system for preparing coffee wherein the coffee bean packaging cartridge is arranged for holding and supplying multiple servings of coffee beans and wherein the system comprises a grinder for grinding the beans and a brewing device for 10 brewing coffee on the basis of grinded coffee obtained by means of the grinder.
It is known to pack roasted coffee beans in containers that can be connected to coffee brewing apparatus that include a grinding mechanism. For such systems to be efficient the containers have often been designed to hold between 1 kg and 3 kg of coffee beans.
15 The patent application EP 0 804 894 A2 discloses such a coffee dispensing and brewing apparatus that comprises components for dispensing a predetermined amount of coffee to a brew basket, the components including a hopper (container) for holding a supply of coffee beans and an auger device communicating with the hopper for portioning coffee beans in a predetermined 20 amount to a coffee grinder. The apparatus further includes a brew basket holding assembly for releasably holding the brew basket in a region adjacent a passageway to the grinder and a hot water making and delivery system for distributing a predetermined volume of hot water from a hot water holding tank to the region during a brewing cycle. The grinder motor has a right angle 25 power transmission that couples the motor to the grinder with the motor being located below the grinder and adjacent a vertical side of the holding tank.
For such existing coffee beverage systems, the coffee supplier wishes that it should be highly likely, that the cartridge cooperating with the coffee brewing apparatus marketed by the supplier and on which her name is 30 printed, carries the coffee beans of the supplier. Furthermore, it would be 2 advantageous for the supplier to be able to supply coffee beans under another label for refilling the cartridge cooperating with the coffee brewing apparatus.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a system for preparing coffee beverages of the above referred to kind, which 5 enables both these options. In a more general sense it is thereby an object of the invention to overcome or ameliorate at least one of the disadvantages of the prior art. It is also an object of the present invention to provide alternative structures which may be less cumbersome in assembly and operation and which moreover can be made relatively inexpensively.
10 Unless stated otherwise, in the description and claims coffee beans are understood to be burnt/roasted coffee beans. Coffee beans in the description and claims may be understood to cover also fragmented coffee beans, that is, coffee bean fragments, which coffee bean fragments are still to be grinded for extracting desired coffee beverage. The coffee beans are for 15 instance broken, before they are packaged. In an embodiment, at least a part of the coffee beans in the coffee bean package is divided into about thirty or less, in particular about fifteen or less, more particularly about ten fragments or less. One coffee bean fragment then comprises for instance one-thirtieth part, in particular one-fifteenth part, more particularly one-tenth part or more 20 of a coffee bean. For instance, the coffee bean fragments comprise a half or a quarter of a coffee bean. An advantage of the use of coffee bean fragments compared with whole coffee beans can be that coffee bean fragments can be supplied to the grinder relatively simply and/or that the package can be closed off relatively simply. This is because the coffee bean fragments are relatively 25 small and hence can slide relatively easily through openings in the package and the apparatus and/or will block the coffee bean outlet and/or closing means less easily. As the coffee beans may beforehand have been divided into fragments, though not grinded, in the meantime comparatively more bean surface can come into contact with any ambient air than would be case with 30 whole coffee beans. On the other hand, less bean surface will come into contact 3 with air than would be the case with grinded coffee, so that coffee bean fragments can be preserved better than grinded coffee beans. Only just before preparation of the coffee beverage are the coffee bean fragments grinded for obtaining coffee beverage. In this description, therefore, coffee bean may also 5 be understood to include a fragmented coffee bean, that is, which is still to be grinded for preparing the desired coffee beverage.
According to the invention, a system and methods are provided according to the independent claims. Favourable embodiments are defined by the dependent claims. According to one aspect of the invention there is 10 provided a coffee beverage system, including a first coffee bean packaging cartridge and a coffee brewing apparatus wherein the first coffee bean packaging cartridge can be removable connected to the coffee brewing apparatus. The first coffee bean packaging cartridge, which preferably is non refillable with coffee beans, is arranged for holding and supplying multiple 15 servings of coffee beans. It includes a container comprising an interior volume and at least one exit opening defining a coffee bean outlet, the interior volume holding coffee beans and transportation means adapted for enabling transportation of the coffee beans from the interior volume towards the exit opening of the first cartridge. The coffee apparatus comprises an entrance 20 opening for receiving coffee beans which are transported with the aid of the transportation means towards the exit opening of the first cartridge, a grinder for grinding coffee beans which have entered the coffee apparatus via the entrance opening and a brewing device for brewing coffee on the basis of grinded coffee obtained by means of the grinder. The transportation means of 25 the first cartridge comprise a part which is movable relative to a main body of the first cartridge for transporting the coffee beans towards the exit opening of the first cartridge upon driving of said transportation means. The coffee brewing apparatus is provided with a motor and a vertically extending drive shaft wherein said drive shaft is releasable connected with the transportation 30 means of the first cartridge for driving and thereby moving the transportation 4 means of the first cartridge upon rotation of the drive shaft by means of the motor means for transporting the coffee beans towards the exit opening of the first cartridge. The first cartridge is arranged such that, if the drive shaft is connected with the transportation means, after a first predetermined number 5 of revolutions of the drive shaft the transportation means of the first cartridge is automatically disabled for transporting the coffee beans towards the exit opening. The system is further provided with a second coffee bean cartridge which can also be removable connected to the coffee brewing apparatus. The second coffee bean cartridge, which preferably is refillable with coffee beans, is 10 arranged for being filled with and holding and supplying multiple servings of coffee beans. The second coffee beans cartridge includes a container comprising an interior volume and at least one exit opening defining a coffee bean outlet, the interior volume being arranged for holding coffee beans and transportation means adapted for enabling transportation of the coffee beans from the 15 interior volume towards the exit opening of the second cartridge. The second cartridge is adapted to the coffee apparatus so that, if the second cartridge is connected to the coffee apparatus, coffee beans which are transported with the aid of the transportation means of the second cartridge towards the exit opening of the second cartridge can be received by the coffee apparatus via the 20 entrance opening for preparing coffee. The second cartridge is arranged such that the transportation means of the second cartridge will not be disabled upon a predetermined number of revolutions of the drive shaft or will only be disabled after a second predetermined number of revolutions of the drive shaft wherein the second predetermined number of revolutions is greater than the 25 first predetermined number of revolutions.
With the coffee beverage system according to the present invention, the first coffee bean packaging cartridge, which may be disposable, may comprise the coffee beans of the supplier. The first coffee bean packaging cartridge may be designed to be non-refillable or be refillable only a limited number of times. 30 By automatically disabling the transportation means of the first cartridge for 5 transporting the coffee beans towards the exit opening thereof, the first coffee bean packaging cartridge is made useless after a predetermined number of coffee servings, which preferably corresponds to the amount of coffee beans present in the interior volume of the first coffee bean packaging cartridge or is 5 slightly superior. After the predetermined number of coffee servings, the first coffee bean packaging cartridge should be replaced with another coffee bean packaging cartridge. In this way, there is a strong guarantee that the first coffee bean packaging cartridge comprises the coffee beans of the supplier. A further possible advantage may be that the supplier can give a guarantee that 10 there are no or very few stones in the coffee bean packaging cartridge. Often stones with a size between a millimeter and a centimeter are present in bags filled with coffee beans. If coffee beans of such bags are used, the stones therein may cause damages to the grinder, resulting in tear thereof, the risk of a broken grinder and a deterioration of the coffee quality. This may be avoided 15 by means of an X-ray destoner in the production line. So, the supplier providing such “destoned” coffee beans is enabled to give a guarantee that there are no or very few stones in the cartridge in case that the cartridge is non-refillable.
The second coffee bean cartridge may comprise the coffee beans of 20 the supplier marketed under another label. It may be designed to be refillable, either a considerable number of times or an unlimited number of times.
When the first cartridge is mounted to the coffee brewing apparatus of the system, the system may be arranged for rotating the vertically extending drive shaft with the motor means thereby driving and moving the transportation 25 means of the first cartridge upon for transporting the coffee beans towards the exit opening of the first cartridge, grinding coffee beans which have entered the coffee apparatus via the entrance opening thereof and brewing coffee on the basis of grinded coffee. The first cartridge may be arranged such that, if the drive shaft is connected with the transportation means, after a first 30 predetermined number of revolutions of the drive shaft in a direction other 6 than, or other than used for driving the transportations means of the first cartridge the transportation means of the first cartridge is automatically disabled for transporting the coffee beans towards the exit opening. The drive shaft may be rotated in the in a direction other than, or other than used for 5 driving the transportations means of the first cartridge each time after transporting the coffee beans for a serving of coffee towards the exit opening of the first cartridge.
Alternatively, the first cartridge may be arranged such that, if the drive shaft is connected with the transportation means after a first predetermined 10 number of revolutions of the drive shaft for driving the transportations means of the first cartridge the transportation means of the first cartridge is automatically disabled for transporting the coffee beans towards the exit opening.
The system may be arranged for executing the automatic disabling 15 of the transportation means of the first cartridge for transporting the coffee beans towards the exit opening by means of bringing it into a motor stall condition or by means of disengagement of a mechanical connection, so that the rotation of the drive shaft does not result in driving the transmission means or a part of the transmission means.
20 The movable part of the transportation means of the first cartridge may include a disk element, for example an impellor including a bottom and a plurality of vanes, which rotates upon rotation of the drive shaft. The disk element may include a recess wherein the disk element rotates upon rotation of the drive shaft due to an engagement of drive means with the recess.
25 According to an embodiment, the drive means comprise the drive shaft and a drive bush, mountable on the drive shaft as well as a nut mountable on the drive bush. The engagement of the drive means and the recess may be by means of an engagement of the nut and a wall of the recess by means of one or more protrusions engaging with one or more corresponding slots. Revolutions 30 of the drive shaft in a direction for driving the transportation means cause the 7 rotation the drive bush and the nut mounted thereto and the corresponding rotation of the disk element, resulting in the transportation of the coffee beans towards the exit opening. Revolutions of the drive shaft in a direction other than, or other than used for driving the transportation means of the first 5 cartridge cause the rotation of the nut with respect the drive bush. Since, the nut is connected to the drive bush by means of screw thread, such revolutions result in nut moving upwards or downwards over the drive bush. After the first predetermined revolutions in the direction other than, or other than used for driving the transportation means the nut has moved so far that it 10 disengages from the wall of the recess and driving the transportation means by means of the drive shaft becomes impossible.
According to an alternative embodiment, the drive means comprise a drive bush mountable on the drive shaft. The engagement between the drive means and the disk element is by means an engagement of the drive bush and 15 the wall of the recess by one or more snap fingers engaging with one or more corresponding slots. Furthermore, the drive bush is engaged with the wall by means of screw thread. In case of revolutions of the drive shaft and thereby the drive bush in the direction of driving the transportation means, the snap finger-slot engagement between the drive bush and the wall of the recess of the 20 disk element results in the rotation of the disk element and the transportation of the coffee beans towards the exit opening of the first cartridge. Rotation of the drive shaft in the direction other than, or other than used for driving the transportation means results in the drive bush going upwards with respect to the disk element so that after the first predetermined number of revolutions of 25 the drive shaft the drive bush disengages from the drive shaft and driving the transportation means by means of the drive shaft becomes impossible.
The transportation means of the second cartridge may comprise a downwardly extending bottom wall such as a funnel of the container for transporting the coffee beans towards the exit opening of the second cartridge 30 under the influence of gravity.
8
Alternatively or additionally, the transportation means of the second cartridge comprises a part which is movable relative to a main body of the second cartridge for transporting the coffee beans towards the exit opening of the second cartridge upon driving of said transportation means. The 5 transportation means may be releasable connectable with the vertically extending drive shaft of the coffee brewing apparatus. Upon rotation of the drive shaft by means of the motor the transportation means of the cartridge are driven and thereby moved for transporting the coffee beans towards the exit opening of the second cartridge.
10 The movable part of the transportation means of the second cartridge may include a disk element, which rotates upon rotation of the drive shaft. The disk element may be an impellor including a bottom and a plurality of vanes.
It may include a recess wherein the disk element rotates upon rotation of the drive shaft due to an engagement of drive means with a wall of the recess.
15 The second cartridge may be arranged such that, if the drive shaft is connected with the transportation means, the transportation means will not be disabled upon a predetermined number of revolutions of the drive shaft in a direction other than, or other than used for driving the transportations means of the second cartridge or will only be disabled after a second predetermined 20 number of revolutions of the drive shaft wherein the second predetermined number of revolutions is greater than the first predetermined number of revolutions.
The system may be further provided with a metering chamber for receiving coffee beans which are transported with the aid of the transportation 25 means into the metering chamber. The metering chamber may be arranged for receiving a portion of coffee beans corresponding to a dosed amount of coffee beans which is preferably necessary for preparing a single serving of coffee beverage.
The metering chamber may be divided in a first chamber portion 30 which is part of the first or second cartridge and a second chamber portion 9 which is part of the coffee brewing apparatus. The second chamber portion may comprise a bottom portion which forms a part of the grinder, said bottom portion being arranged in the coffee brewing apparatus for rotating around a first axis extending in a vertical direction. The system may be arranged such 5 that upon activation of the grinder the bottom portion is rotating around the vertical axis for transporting the coffee beans from the metering chamber into the grinder and for grinding the coffee beans.
The division of the metering chamber over the cartridge and the brewing apparatus enables to provide a compact coffee beverage system. The 10 use of a bottom portion of the metering chamber, which is part of the grinder and which rotates for emptying the metering chamber also results in a decreased height of the system compared to the alternative option of providing a separate bottom plate of the metering chamber and a separate grinder.
The coffee bean packaging cartridge may comprise closing means 15 for closing the coffee bean outlet when the coffee bean packaging cartridge is not connected to the coffee brewing apparatus. In this way it is avoided that coffee beans fall out of the coffee bean packaging cartridge when it is not connected to the coffee brewing apparatus.
The closing means may be configured for opening the coffee bean 20 outlet when the coffee bean packaging cartridge is connected to the coffee brewing apparatus.
The closing means may comprise a closure member at the bottom side of the container comprising the coffee bean outlet and a rotatable closing disk having an opening. In order to connect the first and/or second cartridge to 25 the coffee brewing apparatus the opening of the rotatable closing disk may be brought in a position aligned with the coffee bean outlet.
The closure member may comprise a pair of fletching arms and the closure disk may comprise a detent, which in the closed position is caught behind the fletching arms.
10
The exit opening may be associated with a removable sealing element sealing the interior volume prior to activation of the first and/or cartridge wherein preferably said sealing element prevents gasses to escape from the cartridge. The beverage system may comprise means for disrupting 5 and displacing the sealing element, preferably when the cartridge is connected to the brewing apparatus for the first time. The sealing element may be a sealing membrane.
The coffee brewing apparatus may comprise connection means for the removable connection to the first or second cartridge. The connection 10 means may comprise a recess at an upper side of the coffee brewing apparatus, the recess being surrounded by a side wall and being configured for receiving a corresponding part protruding from a lower side of the coffee bean packaging cartridge. The side wall may protrude from the upper side of the coffee brewing apparatus and be covered by a housing.
15 The coffee brewing apparatus may comprise control means for rotating the vertically extending drive shaft with the motor means thereby driving and moving the transportation means for transporting the coffee beans towards the exit opening of the first and/or second cartridge, grinding coffee beans which have entered the coffee apparatus via the entrance opening 20 thereof and brewing coffee based on the grinded coffee and heated water heated by a heating device of the coffee brewing apparatus.
The control means may be furthermore configured for rotating the drive shaft with the motor means in a direction other than, or other than used for driving the transportations means of the first and/or second cartridge, after 25 the filling of the metering chamber.
The control means may be configured such that, in use, the transportation means is driven for filling the metering chamber with coffee beans and that after completion thereof the grinding device is activated for emptying the metering chamber and for grinding coffee beans which were 30 collected in the metering chamber during the first step. The transportation 11 means may be driven longer than is required for filling the metering chamber with coffee beans and/or the grinding device may be activated longer than is required for emptying or at least substantially completely emptying the metering chamber and for grinding all the coffee beans which were collected in 5 the metering chamber during the filling step.

In Figure 1 a system 1 for preparing coffee beverages is shown. The system 1 includes a coffee bean cartridge 3 and a coffee brewing apparatus 4. The coffee bean cartridge may be of a first type, i.e. a coffee bean packaging 30 cartridge that is not refillable or may only be refillable a very limited number 14 of times or of a second type, i.e. a coffee bean cartridge that is either refillable a number of times higher than the number of times that the coffee bean cartridge of the first type may be refilled or it is refillable an unlimited number of times. The coffee bean cartridge 3 is removably connected to the coffee 5 brewing apparatus 4. Figure 2 shows the coffee brewing apparatus without the coffee bean cartridge 3 mounted thereon. Both, the coffee bean packaging cartridge 3 of the first and second type comprise a container 7 having an interior volume for containing coffee beans and an exit opening. These coffee beans are roasted and include generally roasted half beans. Preferably, the 10 coffee beans cartridge 3 is closed airtight and/or under vacuum before it is placed on the coffee brewing apparatus 4. Also the coffee bean cartridge 3 can be in the form of a disposable packaging, so that it can be thrown away after it has been emptied.
Referring now to figures 3A and 3B, the coffee beverage system 1 15 will be described in more detail. Figure 3A shows a cartridge of a first type with an anti-refill mechanism, to be described in more detail herein after, also referred to in this description as the first cartridge or the first coffee bean packaging cartridge. Figure 3B shows a cartridge of a second type without anti-refill mechanism, also referred to in this description as the second 20 cartridge or the second coffee bean cartridge Most features of the first and second cartridges are the same, except for the impellor and the driving means thereof, as will be discussed herein after. In both cases the cartridge comprises transportation means 6 for enabling transportation of the coffee beans from the interior volume of the container 7 (only partially visible in figures 3 and 25 3B) towards the exit opening 29 of the cartridge 3. The coffee apparatus is provided with an entrance opening 9 for receiving coffee beans which are transported by means of the transportation means towards the exit opening 29. The exit opening 29 extends above the coffee bean entrance opening 9 of the coffee brewing apparatus 4.
30 A lower part of the container 7 comprises a funnel 8 which forms part of 15 the transportation means 6. The beans of the coffee bean packaging cartridge 3 are guided by means of the funnel 8 towards the exit opening 29 of the cartridge. In case of the first cartridge with anti-refill mechanism the transportation means comprise a disk element (impellor) of a first type 10, also 5 referred to in this description as first impellor, having several flexible vanes 13. In case of the cartridge without anti-refill mechanism the transportation means comprise a disk element (impellor) of a second type 11, also referred to in this description as second impellor, which again comprises several flexible vanes 13. The reason for using different impellors lies in the need to use 10 different drive means for driving the impellor in case of anti-refill and without anti-refill mechanism, as will be discussed herein after. Upon driving the movable part (impellor) of the transportation means, in this example by rotating the impellor around a second axes 19 extending in a vertical direction, the coffee beans are transported towards the exit opening 29.
15 The system further comprises a metering chamber 15. The metering chamber is divided in a first chamber portion 23 which is part of the cartridge and a second chamber portion 25 which is part of the coffee brewing apparatus. The first chamber portion is located above the second chamber portion. The first chamber portion comprises the exit opening 29 of the 20 cartridge and the second chamber portion comprises the entrance opening of the coffee apparatus. The first chamber portion is provided with an upstanding side wall 32 comprising an inlet opening 21 for letting pass coffee beans into the metering chamber which coffee beans are transported by means of the transportations means towards the exit opening of the cartridge. The 25 transportation means are thus configured for transporting the coffee beans towards and into the metering chamber 15 of the coffee beverage system 1 upon driving of the transportation means. This driving is performed by means of a first motor 17 of the coffee apparatus, driving a drive shaft 18 of the coffee apparatus extending along a vertical axis 19. Due to the driving, the impellor 30 10/11 comprising the vanes 13 rotates around the second vertical axis 19. In 16 this way, the coffee beans are driven in a horizontal direction to the inlet opening 21 of the metering chamber 15. The cartridge comprises a small trickle through edge 22 to avoid the uncontrolled entering of coffee beans in the metering chamber 15 when the impellor 10/11 is not rotating. The 5 metering chamber 15 comprises the first chamber portion 23 in the cartridge 3 and the second chamber portion 25 in the brewing apparatus 4. The bottom 26 of the metering chamber at least comprises a bottom portion 27 which is part of a grinder 28 for grinding coffee beans. The coffee beans leave the fist chamber portion 23 and thereby the cartridge 3 via the exit opening 29 of the 10 cartridge 3 and enter the second chamber portion 25 and thereby the coffee brewing apparatus via the entrance opening 9. The size of the metering chamber is limited by a top wall 31, the bottom 26 and an upstanding side wall 32. The upstanding side wall 32 comprises the upstanding side wall 34 of the first chamber portion and an upstanding side wall 33 of the second chamber 15 portion. The second chamber portion comprises about 100- X% of the volume of the metering chamber and the first chamber portion comprises about X% of the volume of the metering chamber wherein X is in the range of 2-50, preferably in the range of 4-30, more preferably in the range of 6-15.
The bottom part 27 of the metering chamber has a conical shape such 20 that the bottom portion extends downwardly in a direction extending perpendicular to and away from a vertical axis 35. The grinder 28 in this embodiment is positioned centrically with respect to the second chamber portion 25. Referring now to figures 3C and 3D, the grinder will be described in more detail. The grinder comprises a second motor (grinder drive motor) 101 25 and an upper grinding disk/wheel 102, which may be ceramic or steel. The upper grinding disk/wheel is rotationally fixed in its position. Furthermore, the second chamber 103 of the metering chamber is shown (referred to by reference 25 in figure 3A and 3B), which works as dosing funnel. The grinder furthermore comprises a manual adjustment lock 104 to adjust the grind 30 fineness setting by the consumer. The upper grinding disk 102 is moved up or 17 down in respect to the lower grinding disk/wheel 109 when this key is turned. When the adjustment lock is operated, the upper grinding disk moves up and down and the lower grinding disk stays in place. In this way the size of the grind at the exit of the grinding disks, i.e. where they almost touch the outside 5 of the grinder, is determined. The grinder furthermore comprises an exit location 105 for grinded coffee out of the circular transport channel 110 into the grinded coffee chute 106. The grinded coffee chute is a funnel pointing downwards into the brewing device 46 of the coffee brewing apparatus, which is open on the top and placed exactly below this chute when grinding. A 10 rotating drive cone 107 (referred to as bottom part with conical shape 27 of the metering chamber in figures 3A and 3B) is fixed on the main drive shaft 108. This cone ensures the movement and guidance of the beans out of the metering chamber into the grinding section consisting of the upper grinding disk 102 and the lower grinding disk 109, which may be ceramic or steel. The upper 15 grinding disk 102 and the lower grinding disk 109 have a suitable milled shape for grinding the coffee beans, as is well known in the art. The main drive shaft drives the lower grinding disk 109 and the rotating drive cone 107. There is formed a circular transport channel 110, which transports the grinded coffee exiting out of the slit between upper and lower grinding disk to the exit 20 location 105. The shape of the channel results in a “no contamination” grinder, wherein virtually no coffee beans/grinded coffee remains after finishing the grinding. Furthermore, the grinder comprises a motor transmission/gear 111 and a cone protrusion 112 to force the beans between the grinder disks.
The lower grinding disk 109 extends around rotating drive cone 107 and 25 the upper grinding disk 102 extends above the lower grinder disk 109. The grinder is rotationally driven by motor 101 resulting in the rotation of the drive cone 107 and the lower grinding disk 109. Due to the shape of the cone protrusion 112 upon driving the drive cone 107 and the lower grinding disk coffee beans are moved in an outwardly extending radial direction between the 30 lower grinding disk 109 and the upper grinding disk 102. Because a vertical 18 distance between the lower grinding disk 109 and the upper grinding disk 102 decreases in the outwardly extending radial direction the beans are crunched and cut into grinded coffee.
As explained, grinder 28 supplies grinded coffee to a coffee brewing 5 device 46 (schematically shown in figures 3A and 3B) of the coffee apparatus. The coffee brewing device is arranged to receive a supply of water to extract a coffee beverage from the grinded coffee. The coffee beverage is discharged from a coffee beverage exit 37 from the coffee brewing apparatus into a cup or like household receptacle. A water supply can be arranged to supply water to the 10 coffee brewing device under pressure for espresso type coffee beverages or may provide a drip feed to the extraction system formed by coffee brewing device.
Before operating the coffee beverage system, the user has to connect the coffee bean cartridge 3 to the coffee brewing apparatus 4.
Referring now to figure 4A, the connection means for connecting the 15 coffee bean cartridge 3 to the coffee brewing apparatus comprise a recess 50 at an upper side 52 of the coffee brewing apparatus 4. The recess 50 is surrounded by a side wall 54 protruding from the upper side of the coffee brewing apparatus 4. The user should place the corresponding part of the first/second cartridge, at a lower side of the coffee bean cartridge into the 20 recess. The bayonet elements to be described later of the cartridges should be placed in the corresponding openings 58 in the side wall 54 of the recess 50. The user should then rotate the cartridge over 50 degrees until reaching the blocking elements 56 for impeding a further rotation of the coffee bean packaging cartridge. At this position the exit opening 29 of the first chamber 25 portion 23 is aligned with the coffee inlet 9 of the second chamber portion 25. When the cartridge 3 is removed from the coffee brewing apparatus, the second chamber portion 25 in the appliance is closed by means of an appliance closing plate 51 (figure 4B) The appliance closing plate is being driven by a protrusion 1686 (figure 6C) on the neck of the cartridge which slots into a 30 keyhole 53 on the appliance closing plate as the cartridge is being placed into 19 the openings 58 in the side wall 54 of the recess 50. As the user rotates the cartridge over a 50 degrees angle during placement the closing disk in the consumable and the closing plate in the appliance are opened, simultaneously.
An example of a first impellor 10 and its corresponding drive means 5 1520 is shown in more detail in Figures 5A-5J. To prevent the impellor 10 to get jammed by coffee beans that become locked between the perimeter aperture and radially extending vanes 13, such vanes 13 are preferably made from a resilient material. It is also possible to make the entire impellor 10 from a yieldable resilient material. As illustrated in Figure 5A the vanes 13 do not 10 extend to the perimeter edge of the impellor 10, which may prevent beans from becoming jammed between the vanes 13 and the perimeter aperture. As indicated hereinabove the vanes may also be of a flexible material and to provide more flexibility to the vanes the vanes are conveniently also unattached to the impellor base 1577 (bottom), by leaving a gap 1579.
15 The first impellor 10 has a hollow hub portion 1511. The drive means 1520 are inserted in the recess in the interior of the hollow hub portion 1511. The drive means 1520 includes a drive bush 1530 and a nut 1540, which are both part of the first cartridge. The drive means 1520 furthermore includes the drive shaft 18 (see figure 3A, 3B).
20 Nut 1540 is mounted on drive bush 1530. The two pieces are connected by means of the screw thread 1532 covering most of the surface of the drive bush 1530 and the corresponding screw thread 1544 at the interior of nut 1540. Nut 1540, when the system is in operation, climbs down along the screw thread, as will be discussed in detail herein after. Nut 1540 comprises 25 two protrusions 1542, each of the protrusions engaging with one of the four slots 1517 (see figure 5C), which vertically extend along most of an interior wall 1513 of the hollow hub portion 1511. At the bottom of the impellor base there are edges 1515 being part of a ratchet connection together with scores 1630 (see figure 9A).
20
Drive shaft end 1573 of the coffee preparing appliance has a number of keys 1575 (preferably 4, 6 or 8, referred to with reference number 59 in figure 4) for engagement with openings 1716 formed by corresponding protrusions 12 at the bottom side of the drive bush 1530. To facilitate 5 engagement of the first impellor 10 and the drive shaft end upon placing of the cartridge on the appliance the number of keys may differ between the drive shaft end 1573 and the drive bush 1530.
A part 1534 at the lower end of the drive bush 1530 is not covered with the screw thread 1532. This part 1534 is opposite to the part of wall 1513 10 at which the vertically extending slots 1517 are not present.
There are two vertically extending interruptions 1536 (only one of them is visible in figures 5A, 5B) in the screw thread at opposite sides of the drive bush 1530. The interruption in the screw thread at a first side (the right side in figures 5A,5B) is abrupt and at a second side (the left side in figures 15 5A,5B) is gradual (i.e. a ramp), i.e. the thickness of the screw thread gradually increases from nothing to the normal thickness, as can be appreciated in figures 5D-5G. At opposite sides of the interior of nut 1540, there is a corresponding edge 1546 (see figures 5B and 5G), which is asymmetrically shaped, such that, when the edge 1546 is inserted in one of the slots 1536, the 20 highest thickness of the edge corresponds to the side of the interruptions where the thickness of the screw thread is nil and the lowest thickness correspond to the other side of the corresponding interruption 1536. So, the shape of the edge 1546 and the interruptions 1536 is such that they enable the movement of the nut along the screw thread in downward direction and 25 impede the movement of the nut in the opposite upward direction, as is well known in the art.
Referring to now to Figures 6A, 6B and 6C an embodiment of the coffee bean packaging cartridge 3 of the first type, i.e. with anti-refill impellor 10, is shown in an exploded arrangement, perspective views and cross 30 sectional view. This packaging cartridge includes the container 7 defining an 21
interior volume for coffee beans. The container 7 is preferably made from a transparent material so that its contents can be seen. Optionally, the container 7 may be partially covered by an outer sleeve (not shown) which may be printed with a description of the kind of coffee beans inside and may also be 5 apertured to reveal a translucent portion of the container 7. The container 7 is also provided at a lower end thereof with bayonet formation 1683, 1685 for coupling with the openings 56 in the side wall 54 of the recess 50 of the coffee brewing apparatus 3. Inserted into an open bottom end of container 7 is a closure member 1633. The closure member 1633 has the ribbed funnel 8 for 10 guiding coffee beans towards the impellor 10 and a base flange 1636. A
rotatable closure disk 1635 is rotatably connectable with respect to the base flange 1636 of the closure member 1633. The closure member 1633 and the rotatable closure disk 1635 together form an interface between the cartridge and a coffee brewing apparatus. The assemble cartridge can be sealed against 15 deterioration from the ambient air by a sealing membrane 1681 that attaches to the perimeter edge of the container 7. The sealing membrane and barrier foil 1681 may again be equipped with a conventional one-way pressure relief valve for venting excess pressure from gases emanated from freshly roasted beans to the exterior of the packaging cartridge. Preferably such a venting 20 valve should open at a pressure of between 0.1 bar and 0.5 bar to prevent deformation of the container by inflation. To facilitate removal of the sealing membrane 1681 before placing the cartridge on a brewing apparatus, a pulling tab 1682 may be provided.
Figures 6B and 6C show two different perspective views of the coffee 25 bean packaging cartridge shown in figure 6A.
One suitable form of the second impellor 11 without anti-refill mechanism is shown in detail in Figures 7A and 7B. The features of the second impellor 11, which are similar to those of the first impellor 10, are indicated with the same reference numbers. The impellor 11 has a hollow hub portion 30 1571 engageable by the drive shaft end 1573 of the coffee preparing appliance, 22 which for this purpose has a number of keys 1575 (preferably 4, 6 or 8) for engagement with corresponding protrusions, or keys in the interior of hollow hub 1571.
Referring to Figures 8 an exploded view of the second cartridge is 5 shown. It can be appreciated that, with exception of the used impellors and the drive means thereof, the second cartridge is the same as the first cartridge. Therefore, the perspective view of the second cartridge is the same as the perspective view of the first cartridge, as shown in figures 6B and 6C. In figure 8, the outer sleeve 1632 is shown, which may cover the container 7.The outer 10 sleeve may be printed with a description of the kind of coffee beans inside and may also be apertured to reveal a translucent portion of the container 7.
The interface forming bottom parts of the first/second cartridge are separately shown in more detail in Figures 9A, 9B and 9C. The ribbing on funnel 8 as further seen in the exploded view of Figure 9A is useful in 15 preventing sticking of coffee beans to the surface of the funnel 8.
By appropriate spacing between the successive ribs on funnel 8 it is possible to minimise the contact surface between the beans and the funnel surface. As the skilled person will recognise, such ribbing is merely one of various ways to reduce the contact surface and protruding bulges may be 20 equally effective. Also the inclination given to the funnel may be subject to variation, but an angle in excess of 30 degrees, up to 90 degrees has been found effective.
The rotatable closing disk 1635 has an aperture 1612, which upon appropriate rotation can register with exit opening 29 of the closure member 25 1633 (see Figure 9B). The closing disk 1635 on its upper surface has protruding there from a first detent 1701 and a second detent 1703 (see Figure 9C). The first abutment is bordered by semi-circular slots 1705 and 1707, respectively. Additionally, protruding from the upper surface of the rotatable closing disk 1635 is a first abutment 1709 and a second abutment 1711 for 30 limiting rotational movement in respect of the exit opening 29. Further 23 provided on a bottom face of the base flange 1636 of the closure member 1633 is a first pair of latching arms 1713 and a second pair of latching arms (not shown). The first pair of flexible latching arms 1713 is positioned to cooperate with the first detent 1701 in the closed position of the rotatable closure disk 5 1635. The second detent 1703 and the second pair of flexible latching arms also cooperate together in the closed position of the closure disk 1635 and are optional.
In reference to Figure 10 it is shown how the first detent 1701 has been caught behind the converging flexible arms 1713A and 1713B of the first 10 part of flexible arms. The position of the detent 1701, as shown in Figure 10, has resulted from rotation of the closure disk 1635 in respect of the closure member 1633 in the direction of arrow 1717. Rotation in the opposite direction of arrow 1719 is effectively prevented by the flexible arms 1713A and 1713B engaging the first detent 1701. Accordingly when the cartridge is in the closed 15 position as determined in the partial cross-section of Figure 10 it may be removed from the apparatus without any risk of spilling beans. Also this latching arrangement ensures that the cartridge is not accidentally opened by rotation of the closure disk 1635.
As shown in Figure 11 an unlocking element 1721, which is part of a 20 coffee brewing appliance, can engage through the semi-circular slot 1705 in the direction of arrow 1723 when the cartridge is placed on the appliance. The unlocking element 1721 has a V-shaped upper contour that forces apart the flexible arms 1713A and 1713B of the first pair of flexible arms 1713. This will then allow rotation of the closure disk 1635 in the direction of arrow 1719 by 25 allowing the first detent 1701 to pass between the spread apart flexible arms 1713A and 1713B. This rotating movement is obtained by manually rotating the cartridge with respect to the appliance to engage the bayonet means 1683, 1685 on the container 7 with the counter bayonet formations 56 on the brewing apparatus.
24
The operation of the second detent 1703 in respect of the second pair of flexible latching arms is identical and when optionally provided will give additional protection against accidental opening, when not engaged on a coffee brewing apparatus.
5 Referring to figure 4 again, the recess 52 comprises rotatable protruding edges 59 (referred to with reference number 1575 in figures 5A,5B, 7A and 7B)at its center, which are positioned at the end of the driving shaft 18, which is driven by the first motor 17. On these edges the corresponding openings 1716 at the bottom side of the drive bush 1530 of the first impellor 10 10 should be placed, in case of using the cartridge of the first type with anti-refill mechanism. In case of using the cartridge of the second type without anti-refill mechanism, the opening 1716 on the bottom side of the second impellor 11 at the bottom side of the second cartridge 3 should be placed on these edges 59. The openings 1716 receive the edges 59 when the cartridge is connected with 15 the coffee brewing apparatus.
The upstanding side wall 54 of the recess 52 may be surrounded by a housing 55, as shown in figures 1-2.
The coffee brewing apparatus comprises a control device unit 40 schematically shown in figure 3A and 3B, preferably a microprocessor for 20 controlling the dosing, grinding and brewing process as well as the anti-refill mechanism in case of using a cartridge of the first type. The controller may activate these processes after that it has detected that the cartridge 3 has correctly been connected to the coffee brewing apparatus 4.
For filling of the dosing volume the conveying impellor 10/11 is 25 rotated with a rotational speed in the range of 100 to 500 rpm, and preferably between 250 and 300 rpm. To fill the metering chamber some fifteen revolutions of the impellor 10/11 (i.e. the bottom 1577 and the vanes 13) will normally suffice. However, to ensure filling under even adverse conditions, it may be convenient to allow for some extra revolution such as thirty or twenty-30 five in total. For filling of the dosing volume the conveying impellor 10/11 is 25 rotated with a rotational speed in the range of 100 to 500 rpm, and preferably between 250 and 300 rpm. Once the filling of the dosing volume has been accomplished, the appliance will switch from driving the impellor 10/11 to driving its grinder. With the impellor 10/11 immobilised the metering chamber 5 will gradually empty into the grinder. Because the impellor 10/11 is inactive, no beans will escape from container 7, also because of the presence of the trickle through edge 22.
According to an embodiment, the controller controls these processes as follows. In a first step the metering chamber is completely filled with coffee 10 beans. Thereto, the controller controls the first motor 17 to drive the shaft in clockwise direction according to a top view. Accordingly, the first/second impellor starts rotating in the clockwise direction. In case of the first impellor 10, the drive shaft 18 rotates the drive bush 1530 and the nut thereon 1540. The protrusions 1542 (see figure 5A) of the nut 1540, which are engaged with 15 the corresponding slots in the wall of the recess of the hollow hub portion 1511 cause the hollow hub portion 1511 and thereby also the bottom 1577 and the vanes 13 connected thereto to rotate. The ratchet connection between the bottom 1577 of the impellor 10 and the closure plate 1633 of the first cartridge allows the rotation of the impellor in the clockwise direction. The edge 1546, 20 which is positioned in one of the corresponding slots 1536 in the screw thread 1534 of the drive bush 1530, impedes the rotation of the nut 1540 with respect to the drive bush 1530. In this example in the first step, the impellor 10 is driven longer than is required for completely filling or at least substantially completely filling the metering chamber (in this application at least 25 substantially means for example for more than 90%). This is possible, because of the use of the flexible vanes 13. The metering chamber is arranged for receiving a portion of coffee beans corresponding to a dosed amount of coffee beans which is preferably necessary for preparing a single serving of coffee beverage, such as a single cup coffee comprising 80-160 ml of coffee. A filled 26 metering chamber comprises in this example one dose of coffee beans. One dose of coffee beans comprises 5-11, preferably 6-8 grams of coffee beans.
Then, in a second step the control device 40 controls the motor 17 to rotate the drive shaft 18 180° or a little more in the opposite counter clockwise 5 direction. The ratchet connection 1515, 1630 (see figures 5B/9A) will cause the impellor 10 to stay in its position. The rotation force of the drive shaft 18 will cause the drive bush 1530 to rotate, too. Since the nut 1540 is connected by means of a protrusion 1542 and corresponding slot 1517 to the impellor 10, which is stationary, the rotation of the drive bush 1530 will cause the nut 1540 10 to move down with respect to the drive bush 1530 along the screw thread 1532 until its edge 1546 snaps into one of the corresponding interruptions 1536, again. This is because the resistance of moving the nut 1540 along the screw thread 1532 is smaller than the resistance of moving the impellor 10 in counter clockwise direction with respect to the closure plate due to the ratchet 15 connection 1515, 1630. In case of the counter clock wise rotation is larger than 180°, the edge 1546 may be positioned under a little tension some where along the “ramp” of interruption 1536. Wit a small clockwise rotation, the edge 1546 may be brought in a tensionless position in the interruption 1536.
Then, in a third step, the controller activates the grinder by 20 activating the second motor 101. The grinder is activated longer than is required for emptying the metering chamber and for grinding all the coffee beans which were collected in the metering chamber during the first step. In this example in the third step the grinder is activated longer than required for completely emptying or at least substantially completely emptying the 25 metering chamber (in this application at least substantially completely emptying means for example for more than 90%).

When the cartridge of the first type is used for the first time the nut 1540 is in its initial position shown in figures 5G-5H, at the top end of the drive bush 1530. As the 180° counter clockwise rotation is executed after each complete filling of the metering chamber, as the coffee beans of the first 5 cartridge are used, the nut 1540 climbs down “half a revolution” along the screw thread 1532 of the drive bush 1530. After a first predetermined number of counter clockwise revolutions, the nut leaves the screw thread 1532 and falls to a position next to the part 1534 at the lower end of the drive bush 1530, which is not covered with the screw thread 1532, as shown in 5D-5F. As a 10 result, the protrusions 1542 of the nut 1540 disengage from the corresponding slots of the wall 1513 of the recess, because the vertical extension of these slots corresponds to the vertical extension of the screw thread 1532, i.e. the slots do not extend to the part of the wall 1513 opposite to the part 1534 not covered with screw thread. This is shown in figures 5I-5J. Because of this 15 disengagement, rotation of the drive shaft 18/drive bush 1530 does not result in a corresponding rotation of the impellor. Consequently, the first cartridge 10 cannot be used any more with the coffee brewing apparatus and should be replaced by a new one.
Preferably, the size of the cartridge and the length of the screw 20 thread are chosen such that the first predetermined number of revolutions of the drive shaft resulting in disabling the driving of the impellor is larger than the number of revolutions corresponding to the number of servings of coffee possible with the full cartridge.
When a cartridge of the second type is used, the controller works 25 exactly in the same way, i.e. after filling the metering chamber completely, it controls the motor so that the drive shaft 18 makes a 180° counter clockwise rotation. However, this small counter clockwise rotation does not adversely affect the ability of the second impellor 11 of transporting the coffee beans to the exit opening of the second cartridge. The second impellor simply makes a 30 corresponding rotation in the counterclockwise direction but without any coffee 28 beans in the cartridge this rotation has no relevant effect. The ratchet connection 1515,1630 (see figures 7B and 9A) between the second impellor 11 and the closure plate 1633 does not impede this counter clockwise rotation.
With reference to figures 12A-12D and 13A-13D, the impellor and 5 drive means will be described of a cartridge of the first type according to a further embodiment. According to this further embodiment the coffee brewing apparatus should have a longer drive shaft 1220 (see figure 12C), which is inserted in the hollow interior of a drive bush 1530 (see figure 12B). The drive bush has two snap fingers 1210 near its bottom. The drive bush 1530 at its 10 turn is inserted in the interior of a hollow hub portion 1200 of an impellor. The interior wall of this hollow hub portion comprises a coil thread 1205 and two edges 1208 (see figure 12A, only one shown). In figure 12D the three elements are shown together in their initial position.
Figure 13A shows a bottom view of the drive shaft, drive bush and 15 impellor for the case that the drive shaft rotates clockwise. The snap fingers 1210 of the drive bush lock with the edge 1208 of the interior wall of the hollow hub portion, so that the impellor rotates.
Figure 13B shows of the drive shaft, drive bush and impellor for the case that the drive shaft rotates counter clockwise for a little over 180°. Due to 20 the ratchet connection between the impellor and the closure member 1633, described herein above, the impellor stays in its position. The snap fingers 1210 bend and lock in their subsequent position. The drive bush 1530 moves up half a revolution or pitch due to its screw thread 1532, which engages with the coil thread 1205 of the hub part of the impellor. By repeating this process 25 after each coffee dosing the drive bush works its way up in the hub part, as shown in figure 13C. After the first predetermined number of revolutions, the drive bush reaches its final position, as shown in figure 13D. In this position, the drive shaft 1220 does not reach the drive bush 1530 and the impellor will not rotate upon rotation of the drive shaft 1220.
29
Now with reference to figures 14A-14B, a further embodiment will be described of drive mans for an impellor used in a cartridge of the second type, i.e. without anti-refill mechanism. The impellor used in this case is the impellor 10 used for the cartridge with anti-refill described herein above with 5 reference to figures 5A-5J. However, the drive means differ in the following aspects. The drive bush 1530 is not covered with screw thread at all and the nut 1540 does not have screw thread at its interior side. As a result, the nut 1540 may move freely with respect to the drive bush 1530 in a vertical direction but due to the gravity it will be positioned as shown in figures 14A-10 14B on the top of a flange 1570, which is part of the drive bush 1530. In this position, and also in all other possible positions of the nut 1540, the nut is engaged with the hollow hub portion 1511 by means of its protrusions 1542. Consequently, the rotation of the drive shaft 18 in clockwise direction results in the impellor 10 being rotated. When the drive shaft is rotated half a turn in 15 the counter clock wise direction, nut 1540 rotates with respect to the drive bush 1530. However, this rotation is functionless, because the edge 1546 simply moves from one to the other slot 1536 of the drive bush remaining in a position for driving the impellor in case of subsequent clockwise rotation.
It is thus believed that the operation and construction of the present 20 invention will be apparent from the foregoing description. The invention is not limited to any embodiment herein described and, within the purview of the skilled person; modifications are possible which should be considered within the scope of the appended claims. For example, the transportation means of the second cartridge for transporting the coffee beans from the container to the 25 metering chamber may be implemented as passive means not driven by a motor, for example by means of a downwardly extending bottom wall for transporting the coffee beans towards the exit opening and into the metering chamber under the influence of gravity only. A special means may in that case be required to close the inlet opening of the metering chamber once it is filled 30 with coffee beans. Furthermore, instead of disabling the driving of the impellor 30 by disengagement of a mechanical connection the system may be brought into a motor stall condition. One option thereto is the engagement of an edge of the rotatable drive means in a corresponding slot of the funnel 8, after the first predetermined revolutions of the drive shaft.
5 Similarly all kinematic inversions are considered inherently disclosed and to be within the scope of the present invention. The term “comprising” when used in this description or the appended claims should not be construed in an exclusive or exhaustive sense but rather in an inclusive sense. Expressions such as: "means for ...” should be read as: "component 10 configured for ..." or "member constructed to ..." and should be construed to include equivalents for the structures disclosed. The use of expressions like: "critical", "preferred", "especially preferred" etc. is not intended to limit the invention. Features which are not specifically or explicitly described or claimed may be additionally included in the structure according to the present 15 invention without deviating from its scope.
