Definitions

  • the present invention falls within the field of the preparation of beverages, e.g. coffee-based beverages, by extraction of a concentrated portion, e.g. of ground coffee, contained in a capsule. It relates more specifically to the portions used for this purpose and to the devices that use such portions.
  • Patents U.S. Pat. No. 2,899,886, U.S. Pat. No. 2,968,560, U.S. Pat. No. 3,403,617 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,607,297 describe devices in which the capsule is first of all perforated at several points, then has water pass through it under pressure.
  • the capsule described in patent CH 605 293 or in patent EP 0 242 556 B1 comprises a membrane in its lower part. Water under pressure is first of all introduced into the top part of the capsule, after said capsule has been pierced by means of a cutting element (e.g. a blade), and this causes the capsule to swell, mainly in the region of the membrane. Beyond a certain pressure, the membrane tears, thereby allowing a water-coffee mixture to flow out.
  • a cutting element e.g. a blade
  • the present invention comprises a number of improvements over the capsules of the prior art. Specifically, it relates to a capsule for preparing a beverage, for example coffee, comprising a hollow element intended to contain a portion, e.g. of ground coffee, said hollow element comprising a side wall, a top wall and a bottom wall comprising an extraction membrane; the top wall comprising on its internal face a weakened zone designed to undergo a movement when an external element applies force to it, thus offering a passage via which liquid can flow between the outside and the inside of the capsule.
  • One of the advantages offered by the present invention lies in the possibility of forming liquid outflow passages of sufficiently wide cross section. That is particularly true of capsules made of a biodegradable material. This material has a tendency to swell in the presence of liquid. If the weakened zone is not of sufficiently wide cross section then the piercing of the capsule by a cutting element will not allow the liquid to flow out sufficiently through the pierced zone.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a first example of a capsule according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 illustrates an alternative form of the top part of the capsule of FIG. 1
  • FIG. 3 illustrates another alternative form of the top part of the capsule of FIG. 1
  • FIG. 4 shows the inside of the capsule of FIG. 1
  • FIG. 5 illustrates an enlargement of part of the inside of the capsule of FIG. 1
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a depression on the external face of the side wall
  • FIG. 7 shows a second example of a capsule according to the invention
  • FIG. 8 shows a third example of a capsule according to the invention
  • FIGS. 9 and 10 illustrate the weakened zone positioned on the internal face of the top wall
  • FIGS. 11 and 12 illustrate the rupturing of the weakened zone.
  • the internal top part of the capsule is provided with a beading of material in the region of the elements that pierce the capsule (see FIG. 4 ).
  • Rupture initiators are positioned along the side edges of the beading. When a piercing element applies sufficient pressure to the region of the beading, the rupture initiators yield and this has the effect of allowing water to enter the capsule (see FIGS. 9-12 ).
  • the capsule is made of a biodegradable material.
  • the biodegradable material may be of plant origin.
  • the material comprises the following components: starch (>70%), fibers, proteins, lipids, glycerin of plant origin, biodegradable resins.
  • the material comprises the following components: starch (>70%), fibers, proteins, lipids, biodegradable resin, inorganic coloring.
  • the capsule according to the invention can also be used with devices of the state of the art which are equipped with blades for letting water into the capsule.
