Definitions

• Device for preparing hot drinks such as coffee, tea or the like.
• the invention relates to a device for preparing hot drinks, such as coffee, tea or the like.
• a device for preparing hot drinks such as coffee, tea or the like.
• Whose housing accommodates a fresh water tank, the outlet of which is connected to a heating device which supplies the heated water to a filter tank which stores the material to be treated, such as ground coffee or the like, and under which a collecting container placed on a housing base is arranged, in which cups are used as collecting containers and the filter container is designed as a carousel with several filter receptacles provided with outlet openings, which are rotatably mounted and with its filter receptacles can be set in succession via the cup placed on the housing base, in which a pre-metered amount of material which is matched to the volume of the cups can be introduced into each filter receptacle and in which by means of a control device the dispensing amount of hot water corresponds to the volume of the cup Cup is matched.
• a device of this type is known from IT 566 811.
• the filter recordings of the carousel take the goods unprotected and are successively adjusted under the water metering device.
• the brewed coffee suffers from aroma pleasure if the good is waiting too long in the open filter holder. Therefore, the device is only suitable if the preparation for several cups follows in quick succession.
• the heated water passes through a riser pipe into an outlet in the filter receptacle of the carousel set via the cup, that the carousel is rotatably mounted on the riser pipe by means of a bearing bush and is covered by a housing cover which is on the side facing the carousel is provided with ring receptacles and sealing rings and tightly closes each individual filter receptacle and that the housing cover has an opening in the area above the cup through which the carousel projects with its rim provided with handle recesses.
• the filter holders are therefore always tightly sealed without the carousel being affected.
• the filter receptacles can be filled at the same time, but can only be used at longer intervals for the preparation of the beverage without fear of a loss of aroma.
• the filter receptacles of the carousel are arranged around the riser pipe in the same angular division.
• An indication of how many cups can still be prepared is obtained in one embodiment simply by the fact that The top of the edge of the carousel is provided with the markings which characterize the filter holder.
• control device has a timer which, after the device has been started up, switches on the heating device, which is designed as a water heater, for a predeterminable time, then the hot water can be metered.
• the operational safety of the device can be improved by assigning a carousel to a carousel that controls a one-time release of the device's start-up by setting a filter holder above the cup. Before starting up again, the carousel must be switched one step further.
• the volume of the fresh water container is matched to a number of volumes of the cup, which is given by the number of filter receptacles in the carousel, since the filter receptacles and the fresh water container are then to be refilled at the same time.
• the fresh water tank can be removed from the device housing in a manner known per se.
• the end of the brewing process can be indicated simply by the fact that an optical and / or acoustic signal can be triggered after the delivery of a predetermined amount of hot water.
• Fig. 1 shows the device with a carousel with several Fi lteragen in section and 2 shows a cross section through the device along the line II-II of FIG. 1st
• the device housing comprises the lower housing part 10, the upper housing part 11 and the housing cover 23, as the section through the device according to F g. 1 shows. Between the lower housing part 10 and the upper housing part 11 there is a receiving space in which the instantaneous heater 17 and the control device 29 are accommodated.
• the housing upper part 11 forms a receptacle 12 into which the fresh water container 14 is inserted.
• the valve neck 13 of the upper housing part 11 opens the running valve 15 of the fresh water container 14 as soon as it is inserted into the receptacle 12 of the upper housing part 11.
• Via the check valve 16 the valve shoulder 13 is connected to the instantaneous water heater 17, to which the control device 29 is assigned.
• Via the connecting hose 18, the pressure heater 17 is connected on the output side to the riser pipe 20.
• the upper housing part 11 forms the housing foot 21, on which the cup 22 is placed as a collecting container.
• the upper end of the riser pipe 20 is inserted into a distributor piece 26 which extends to the front of the device with the device foot 21 and covers the cup 22.
• the distributor piece 26 is provided with the run openings 27, from which the hot water, which is supplied via the riser pipe 20, drips into the filter holder 31 of the carousel 30, which has just been rotated over the cup 22.
• the carousel 30, as shown in FIG. 2 has six filter receptacles distributed over the circumference, into each of which a filter bag 33 with a pre-metered amount -34 of material is introduced.
• Each filter receptacle 31 has an outlet opening 32 and takes equal doses, packed in filters or loose quantities of goods (e.g. ground coffee) 34. These pre-metered quantities can be prefabricated closed and opened only before they are introduced into the filter holder 31.
• the carousel 30 is covered by the housing cover 23, which is provided on the side facing the carousel 30 with six ring-shaped ring receptacles 24 which receive a sealing ring 25. These sealing rings 25 lie around the open tops of the filter receptacles 31 and seal them together with the housing cover 23 in an airtight manner.
• the pre-metered quantities of goods 34 are therefore to be kept in the carousel 30 for days without the quality and aroma of the goods 34 being impaired.
• the housing cover 23 has an opening 36 above the cup 22 through which the edge of the carousel 30 protrudes and can be gripped. To facilitate the rotation of the carousel 30, the edge wears circumferentially lt defending the G ⁇ 'ffausappel 35.
• the set Fi lterness durh 31 mounted on the top of the rim marks 37 is displayed.
• the bearing bush 28 is formed, with which the carousel 30 on the Verte ler Culture 26 and the riser 20 is rotatably mounted.
• the control unit 29 optionally contains an adjustable timer in order to be able to adapt the amount of hot water, ie the heating time, to the volume of the cup 22. If the heating time has ended, the device can only be put into operation again when the carousel 30 is brought into the working position with a new filter holder 31.
• the carousel 30 controls a switching device which informs the control device of the changed position of the carousel 30. So that the water supply of the fresh water container 14 is sufficient to supply a number of cups with hot drink corresponding to the number of filter receptacles 31, its volume is selected with a corresponding multiple of the volume of a cup 22.
• the end of a brewing process can be indicated optically and / or acoustically via the timer of the control device 29.
