Definitions

  • An object of the present invention is a capsule for the preparation of infused or soluble beverages.
  • the object of the present invention is a capsule for the packaging of concentrated products (for example in the form of powder, granules, leaves) in predetermined and single-use dosage forms for the impromptu preparation of beverages (such as tea, coffee, herbal teas, milk, chocolate, etc.) by introducing a pressurized fluid (usually hot water) into the capsule itself.
  • concentrated products for example in the form of powder, granules, leaves
  • beverages such as tea, coffee, herbal teas, milk, chocolate, etc.
  • a pressurized fluid usually hot water
  • the common operating principle of such machines involves the perforation of the cover used to close the capsule to allow the introduction of a flow of hot water under pressure by means of the infuser assembly. Once the infusion of the extract contained within the capsule is achieved, the infused beverage flows out of the capsule and is directed by the machine into the cup or the final container.
  • the capsules are provided with a sealing film, usually made of aluminum, positioned at the bottom of the capsule on a base provided with one or more points or cutting or perforating profiles. Increasing the pressure inside the capsule causes the pressurized fluid to push the aluminum layer against the points on the base to cause perforation. Once an opening has been created in the sealing film layer, the infused beverage may flow out from a suitable opening at the base of the capsule itself.
  • a sealing film usually made of aluminum
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a capsule for the preparation of infused or soluble beverages that solves the problems of the known art.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a capsule for the preparation of infused or soluble beverages that is simpler and more economical than the known capsules, while achieving similar performance in terms of the quality of the infused beverage.
  • Such object is achieved by a capsule wherein the opening for the outflow of the infused beverage occurs as a result of deformation of the sealing disc placed inside the capsule due to the pressure exerted by the pressurized fluid inside it, thus avoiding the use of any cutting or perforation means as in known capsules.
  • the object of the present invention is to obtain a homogeneous deformation of the sealing disc in order to assure the opening of the capsule.

  • the collection compartment 352 defines a space adapted to accommodate, without obstructing it, the deformation of at least one portion of a sealing disc 5 when the pressure exerted by the fluid within the capsule 1 reaches a certain threshold opening level. This choice of construction allows the disc 5 to deform freely within the collection compartment 352 so as to form at least one crease 52 adapted to open a passage P for the outflow of the infused beverage.

  • the pressure exerted by the fluid inside the capsule 1 rises to a certain threshold level or opening pressure (for example between 4 and 8 bar) which pushes on the disc 5 to cause the capsule 1 to open.
  • the infused beverage may flow out through the outlet opening 31 and be directed through the nozzle 32 into the cup or the final container.
  • the opening of the capsule 1 is determined by the at least partial deformation of the disc 5 .
