Abstract

The invention concerns a device (D) particularly designed to equip beverage dispensing machines and characterised in that it comprises a reading unit (1) for reading and identifying a mark and means (2) for erasing said mark once the latter has been read and identified. The inventive device is particularly adapted to beverage dispensing machines dispensing cups with pre-measured amounts of freeze-dried powder product and hot or cold water. Said device has two aims: exclusively associating a cup with the machine dispensing and filling it and preventing the cup from being refilled with powder and re-used after it has been used once.

DECLARATION SELON L'ARTICLE 19 (1)DECLARATION ACCORDING TO ARTICLE 19 (1)
Modification de la revendication 1.Amendment of claim 1.
La revendication a 1 a fait l'objet d'une modification de termes dans le but de renforcer l'idée d'association étroite et dans un même produit, du lecteur de marque (1) et de l'effaceur de marque (2).Claim a 1 was the subject of a modification of terms in order to reinforce the idea of close association and in the same product, of the brand reader (1) and the brand eraser (2) .
La modification a également eu pour but de bien faire ressortir les deux objectifs possibles de l'effaceur de marque (2) soit, modifier la marque ou la supprimer afin que celle-ci ne puisse plus être reconnue par le lecteur (1). La mission fondamentale de l'invention est de rendre l'objet porteur de la marque (7), à usage unique, c'est â dire qu'une fois la marque (7) lue par le lecteur (1) et modifiée ou effacée par l'effaceur (2) l'objet ne peut être utilisé une nouvelle fois.The modification was also intended to bring out the two possible objectives of the brand eraser (2) either, modify the brand or delete it so that it can no longer be recognized by the reader (1). The fundamental mission of the invention is to make the object bearing the mark (7), for single use, that is to say that once the mark (7) read by the reader (1) and modified or deleted by the eraser (2) the object cannot be used again.
La modification de cette revendication a porté aussi sur le renforcement du caractère définitif de la modification ou élimination de la marque (7), qui interdit tout nouvel usage.The modification of this claim also related to the reinforcement of the final character of the modification or elimination of the mark (7), which prohibits any new use.
Suppression de la revendication 2.Delete claim 2.
La revendication 2 a été supprimée car le moyen de parvenir à la lecture de la marque (7) n'est pas limitatif. La caractéristique opto-électronique du lecteur (1) est une préférence et non pas une revendicationClaim 2 has been deleted since the means of reading the mark (7) is not limiting. The opto-electronic characteristic of the reader (1) is a preference and not a claim
Modification de la revendication 3.Amendment of claim 3.
La modification de cette revendication introduit un élément important dans la manière de modifier ou supprimer la marque (7), renforçant l'idée que l'élévation de température provoquant la modification ou la suppression de la marque (7) est opérée sans contact direct avec la marque elle-même, mais simplement en élevant la température ambiante â l'endroit de la marque (7) Modification de la revendication 4.The modification of this claim introduces an important element in the manner of modifying or deleting the mark (7), reinforcing the idea that the rise in temperature causing the modification or deletion of the mark (7) is effected without direct contact with the mark itself, but simply by raising the ambient temperature at the place of the mark (7) Amendment of claim 4.
La modification de cette revendication a été appliquée pour bien insister suf le fait que le lecteur de marque (1) a pour fonction de contrôler sur l'objet présenté devant lui la présence de la marque (7) pour laquelle il a été programφé, ou l'absence de cette marque (7), mais en aucun cas de déchiffrer par la lecture de la marque (7) certaines caractéristiques de l'objet qui la porte pour opérer un tri.The modification of this claim has been applied to emphasize the fact that the mark reader (1) has the function of checking on the object presented before it the presence of the mark (7) for which it has been programmed, or the absence of this mark (7), but in no case to decipher by reading the mark (7) certain characteristics of the object which carries it to operate a sorting.
Modification de la revendication 5.Amendment of claim 5.
La modification de cette revendication a pour but de renforcer encore le cafactère définitif de l'intervention de l'effaceur (2) sur la marque (7). En effet, l'effaceur modifie ou supprime définitivement la marque (7), contrairement â certains dispositifs existants qui ont une fonction de changement d'aspect d'une marque en fonction de la température (effet thermomètre) ou encore peuvent réimprimer une marque sur le même support et au même endroit que la marque effacée. Le dispositif de la demande internationale ROUVIERE participe à la modification ou l'élimination d'une marque de manière définitive (effet fusible thermique).The purpose of amending this claim is to further strengthen the definitive cafacter of the intervention of the eraser (2) on the mark (7). Indeed, the eraser modifies or permanently removes the mark (7), unlike some existing devices which have a function of changing the appearance of a mark as a function of temperature (thermometer effect) or else can reprint a mark on the same support and in the same place as the erased mark. The device of the international ROUVIERE application participates in the modification or the elimination of a mark in a definitive way (thermal fuse effect).
Modification de la revendication 6.Amendment of claim 6.
Cette revendication a été modifiée dans le même état d'esprit et pour les mêmes taisons que dans la revendication 5 précédent. This claim has been amended in the same spirit and for the same reasons as in the preceding claim 5.
