Description

The utility model relates to elements of devices for preparing beverages by passing hot water through a capsule containing a substance for preparing a beverage. The utility model can be used in devices for preparing drinks, which are vending machines, which are used in vehicles, such as taxis.

Preparation of drinks in conditions of shaking, vibration in the vehicle or in the absence of solid surfaces for the installation of devices for preparation (for example, when leaving for natural conditions) - leads to the need to increase protection against splashing of the prepared hot drink.

A stationary automobile coffee maker is known, in which a coffee mug can be placed in the brewing station, which is closed with a removable lid, while the lid for the drink includes a chamber for capsules formed in it, including at least one hole for draining the finished drink into the coffee mug, as well as a lock for capsules, including a hole for passing water (patent US 7487712, publ. 10.02.200 9). This solution provides protection against splashing in shaking conditions, however, it is applicable only for individual use, requires systematic cleaning of the cap and capsule retainer, which is not suitable for use in public transport.

It is known to use, in a beverage preparation device, a vessel attachment part for releasably connecting to the rim of the vessel to be connected; an annular portion in the form of a lid panel extending radially inward relative to said portion for attachment to a vessel with a large opening for passage of a large amount of liquid; part in the form of a chamber for receiving a portion of the flavoring material into it, formed by walls extending down relative to the said part in the form of a lid panel and to a position significantly below the said part for connection to the vessel (RF Application for Invention No. 99115457, publ. 10.06.2001). The described solution includes a chamber for receiving a portion of flavoring material, which does not ensure the tightness of the flavoring material, which adversely affects the taste of the resulting beverage, especially coffee. In addition, the known solution, when used in conditions of shaking and vibration, does not provide safety for the user, since such a design of the device requires an open jet of hot water used for brewing.

A device is known in which a capsule with coffee extract is inserted into a holder and placed in a container into which the drink leaked through the capsule flows, which, in turn, enters a paper or plastic cup through a flexible hose and is transferred to the consumer (US patent US 5150645, published 05/29/1991). Above the capsule there are blades for piercing the capsule. The disadvantage of the device is the need to make a hole in the receiving glass for the hose through which the drink enters the glass and the fixation of the glass, for example, in vehicles.

The objective of the utility model is to create a capsule holder cup with a capsule piercer that is removable fixed on the inside of the side wall of the cup, used as an external capsule holder by car coffee machines without an internal capsule holder, suitable for using capsules without an internal piercer, for example, the nespresso standard.

The technical result achieved by the claimed utility model is to reduce the amount of defects in the production of the claimed devices.

A capsule holder with a capsule piercer fixed on the side wall, including a socket for installing a capsule with a drink extract, consisting of a side wall and a bottom, as well as an annular part inseparably connected to the socket for installing the capsule and to the upper edge of the side wall, while the annular part contains openings for drinking, characterized in that it contains a lower capsule piercer fixed on the inside of the side wall, made with the possibility of removable connection, and a holder, located on the inside of the side wall, configured to hold the lower capsule piercer.

The essence of the claimed utility model is illustrated in figure 1, which shows a side view of the proposed device in section, while:

1. Ring part

2. Side wall

3. Capsule installation socket

4. Bottom

5. Cup body

6. Lower capsule piercer

7. Capsule

8. Holder

The device contains an annular part 1 containing openings for drinking (not shown in figure 1), inseparably connected with the socket for installing the capsule 3 and with the body of the glass 5, which consists of a side wall 2 and a bottom 4 and contains a lower capsule piercer 6, fixed on the inside of the side wall 4, made with the possibility of a removable connection using a holder 8, fixed on the inside of the side wall 2.

The system for safe preparation of a drink from a capsule without an internal piercer in transport consists of a car coffee machine without an internal capsule holder and a capsule-holder cup with a capsule piercer fixed on the side wall.

Ensuring safety in the system of safe preparation of a drink in transport is achieved by eliminating the open jet of a hot drink when preparing a drink. To do this, a car coffee machine without an internal capsule holder uses an external capsule holder, which is the claimed device. The claimed device is connected to the car coffee machine using the upper capsule piercer, which is an element of the car coffee machine, which is tightly pressed against the capsule placed in the claimed device, so that the water coming out of the car coffee machine enters the capsule, and then, in the form of a finished drink, flows into the claimed device. Such a beverage preparation scheme eliminates an open jet, which ensures protection from the drink getting on the passenger and car interior during a trip in conditions of shaking and vibration.

Example

The capsule-holder with a capsule piercer fixed on the side wall is made of plastic, contains an annular part 1, which is integrally connected to the body of the glass 5 by means of casting. The annular part 1 contains holes for drinking, which can be provided with protective caps. The annular part 1 is integrally connected, by casting, to the socket for installing the capsule 3 and is made with the possibility of access and tight pressing of the upper capsule piercer, which is an element of the car coffee machine, to the capsule 7 installed in the socket for installing the capsule 3. pouring and / or splashing of liquid from the body of the cup 5 through the connection "socket for installing capsule 3 - capsule 7".

To use capsules 7 without an internal piercer, the claimed device contains a lower capsule piercer 6, including at least one piercing element (for example, a needle), which is fixed on the inside of the side wall 2 by means of a removable connection, while the sharp piercing part of the lower capsule piercer 6 is configured to pierce the capsule 7 when the capsule 7 is placed in the socket for installing the capsule 3.

Removable connection of the lower capsule piercer 6 is made using holder 8, which is configured to fix the lower capsule piercer 6. Holder 8 can be an annular protrusion that limits the axial displacement of the lower capsule piercer 6 away from the annular part to the bottom, in this case, the lower capsule piercer 6 has at least three points of contact with the holder 8.

The claimed device is manufactured by injection molding, for example, using an injection molding machine. For the production of the claimed device, a mold is made, into which a molten plastic material is poured under pressure. The execution of the lower capsule piercer is inseparable from the capsule holder glass and will require the manufacture of a complex expensive mold. It is cheaper to make one mold for the production of a capsule holder cup containing the holder 8 on the inside of the side wall 2 and a second mold for the manufacture of the lower capsule piercer 6. Thus, get 2 products and insert the lower capsule piercer 6 into the holder 8 either on the production line or before use. This method will provide a smaller amount of rejects, as well as increase the resource of molds in comparison with the option of a mold for a capsule-holder with a capsule piercer, made in one piece.

The utility model works as follows.

The user manually inserts the capsule into the capsule installation slot 3, while the capsule is pierced by its lower part by the lower capsule piercer 6, after that, the user places the claimed device with the capsule installed in the car coffee machine and presses the upper capsule piercer, which is an element of the car coffee machine, to the capsule using a pressing device, for example, a lever. The user turns on the water supply. Water from the cold water tank is supplied by a water blower to the upper piercer, which is configured to drain water passing through the upper piercer into the capsule through the puncture. Water passes through the capsule into the body of the cup 5. After the cup-holder of the capsule with the capsule piercer fixed on the side wall is filled, the user removes the upper capsule piercer from the claimed device, lifting the lever and removing the claimed device. The drink is ready to drink through the drinking hole. After drinking the drink, the user disposes of the claimed device along with the capsule.

Thus, there is a decrease in the number of defects in the production of the claimed devices.
