Definitions

  • the invention relates to a capsule assembly as a container for a portioned Brühstoff, especially coffee, for the preparation of Brühgetränken using a brewing medium
  • a capsule assembly as a container for a portioned Brühstoff, especially coffee, for the preparation of Brühgetränken using a brewing medium
  • the capsule a capsule head for the passage of a perforator for supplying the Brühmediums, a capsule wall, and a capsuled with a bottom foil capsule, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Coffee capsule of the type mentioned are known for example from the patent application US 2005/0183578 AI, and suitable for this system coffee capsules themselves have been in use for years worldwide.
  • Known coffee capsules are in the form of a blunt cone and e.g. made of thin sheet aluminum containers containing a portioned Brühstoff, such as coffee or tea.
  • the capsules are coated with a bottom sheet of e.g. Completed aluminum gas-tight.
  • the capsules are pierced with a perforator of a brewing device whereby hot water or water vapor is introduced into the capsule under appropriate pressure and temperature. Due to the increase in pressure in the capsule, which is received by the receiving part of the brewing device, the bottom foil is perforated by a multi-tip tool installed in the brewing device, whereby the brewed beverage formed is then removed from the brewing device in e.g. a coffee cup can be emptied.
  • the disadvantages of the known capsules are that a capsule can be used only for a particular brewing device. Furthermore, the capsule is usually adapted for optimum absorption in the receiving part of the brewing device, but not for the production of an optimal brewing beverage.
  • the invention is based on the object to avoid these disadvantages and in particular to provide a capsule assembly that is cheaper than all other existing capsule systems. Furthermore, a qualitatively improved preparation of brewed drinks is to be made possible.
  • Claim 1 relates to a capsule assembly as a container for a portioned Brühstoff, especially coffee, for the preparation of Brühgetränken using a brewing medium
  • a capsule assembly as a container for a portioned Brühstoff, especially coffee, for the preparation of Brühgetränken using a brewing medium
  • the capsule a capsule head for the passage of a perforator for supplying the Brühmediums, a capsule wall , And has a closed with a bottom foil capsule foot.
  • a holder for receiving the capsule is provided, which surrounds the capsule wall of the capsule in a form-fitting manner.
  • the holder preferably has a frusto-conical outer surface, which is received positively by the receiving part of the brewing device.
  • the design of the capsule can be made independently of the receiving part of the brewing device, since it is no longer the capsule, but the holder is adapted to the receiving part. In this way, it is possible to achieve a comparable quality of the brewing beverage by optimal shaping of the capsule with less Brühstoffmenge, so that a significant cost savings is effected due to the smaller amounts of Brühstoff.
  • the capsule can now be optimized for the brewing process by positively influencing the dynamics of the pressure curve during the delivery of the brewing medium, with the result of a noticeable increase in the quality of the "cream" in the case of coffee, for example is particularly advantageous if the capsule wall is cylindrical, and the capsule head of the capsule is designed dome-shaped. Furthermore, it is proposed that the inside of the holder has resiliently projecting retaining tongues in the interior of the holder. This type of recording is understood as a positive reception of the capsule in the holder. The resilient tongues not only improve the absorption of the capsule, but also improve the quality of the brewing beverage.
  • the bottom film has nozzle-like pre-punched holes and is covered with a, compared to the bottom film thinner film so that it is perforated in the beverage production solely by the pressure of the supplied Brühmediums and permeable to the Brühgetränk.
  • Figure 1 shows a schematic embodiment of a capsule assembly according to the invention consisting of capsule (in view) and holder (in a longitudinal section);
  • FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of a capsule belonging to the capsule arrangement according to the invention (in view);
  • FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of a capsule belonging to the capsule arrangement according to the invention (in a longitudinal section);
  • FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of a holder belonging to the capsule arrangement according to the invention (in a longitudinal section);
  • FIG. 5 shows a detailed example of an embodiment of the inside of a holder belonging to the capsule arrangement according to the invention (in a longitudinal section);
  • FIG. 6 shows a detailed example of an embodiment of the outside of a holder belonging to the capsule arrangement according to the invention (in a longitudinal section and a plan view).

  • the capsule 1 is also positioned with the aid of the holder 10 in the receiving part 11 of the brewing device that the bottom film 5 is pierced from below, by the perforation pins of the brewing device, not shown here, and by the subsequent hot water introduction from the perforator the brewed soaked, such as coffee , prepared and poured.
  • the view of the capsule 1 is shown.
  • the capsule consists of the dome-shaped capsule head 2 with the perforation at its zenith Z, the cylindrically shaped capsule wall 3 with the capsule outer side 6, which is adapted to the inside 12 of the holder 10 and through which finally the positioning of the capsule 1 in the receiving part 11 of a coffee drinks Machine is largely made possible, the capsule foot 4, through which the capsule 1 in height in the holder 10 and thus also in the receiving part 11 of a coffee beverage machine is positioned, and finally the bottom foil 5, with which the Brühstoff 8, eg coffee or another Ingredient such as soup, hermetically sealed from the environment and which is made, for example, from an aluminum foil.
  • FIG. 3 shows the longitudinal section of the externally and internally predominantly cylindrically shaped capsule wall 3, the positions shown in FIG. 2 also apply to FIG. 3.
  • the cylindrically shaped capsule wall 3 and the capsule head 2 can be made of aluminum, for example in the pressure be designed in the hot water introduction appropriate strength.
  • FIG. 4 shows the longitudinal section of a holder 10.
  • the holder 10 is characterized in particular by its inner side 12, with which it performs its function of holding or positioning the capsule 1.
  • the dynamics of the pressure curve in the last phase of the beverage production and thus the formation of the "cream" in the beverage service can be favorably influenced by the inner side 12.
  • the holder 10 holds and positions itself and thus also the capsule 1 in FIG a receiving part 11 of the brewing device.
  • FIG. 5 shows a detailed example of one of many possible embodiments of the inside 12 of a holder 10 belonging to the capsule arrangement according to the invention, in a longitudinal section.
  • the sketchy shown and resiliently acting upper and lower tongues 16 of the holder 10 act so that caused by the pressure of the brewing medium radial bulge of the capsule wall 6 is deformed back in the last phase of beverage production, whereby the dynamics of the pressure curve of beverage production and thus the production
  • the sketches 17, belonging to the holder outer side 13 ribs 17 serve on the one hand for positioning the holder 10 itself in the receiving part 11 of a brewing device and on the other hand they reinforce the body structure of the holder 10 so that its weight despite the occurring loads can be optimally reduced.
  • FIG. 6 shows a detailed example of one of many possible embodiments of the holder outer side 13 of a holder 10 belonging to the capsule arrangement according to the invention a longitudinal section and top view shown.
  • the sketches illustrated, belonging to the holder outer side 13 ribs 17 serve on the one hand for positioning of the holder 10 itself in the receiving part 11 of a brewing device and on the other hand they reinforce the body structure of the holder 10 so that its weight can be optimally reduced despite the loads occurring.
  • the advantages of this invention are essentially characterized by the separation of the design of the shape of the capsule 1 itself from the shape of the receiving part 11 of the brewing device and the resulting almost unlimited ability to adapt the capsule 1 to any shape of the receiving parts 11 of the brewing devices.
  • the use of the capsule assembly holder 10 further facilitates the positioning of the capsule 1 in the receiving portion 11 of the brewing device and improves the dynamics of the pressure curve of the beverage production in its final phase and thus the production of the "cream" in beverage production.
