Definitions

the present invention concerns in general the capsule in plastic material, and in detail concerns a capsule for beverages preferably realized through injection moulding.
Capsules for distributing beverages are devices suitable for containing a dehydrated beverage in granules, powder or triturated leaves like typically coffee, the, infusions, powder milk or similar are.
the beverage is contained within the capsule that is realized in an impermeable body.
the capsule is introduced in a distributing device that by means of a needle or equivalent device perforates an upper protective sheet and injects a pressurized fluid, typically water, into the capsule, in such a way to have a double effect of hydration and heating of the dehydrated beverage, which so acting is distributed through an opening arranged on the bottom of the capsule itself in a glass or in a cup.
a pressurized fluid typically water
the beverage distribution speed depends directly on the speed with which the fluid injected in the body of the capsule reaches the lower opening of the capsule itself.
the scope of the present invention is to describe a capsule for distributing beverages which allows to eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks.
a capsule for distributing beverages through the injection of pressurized fluid within the capsule said capsule being suitable for being introduced in a device for distributing beverages and comprising a hollow and liquid-impermeable body having at least one wall defining a lateral surface and a bottom wall joined to said wall defining said lateral surface
said capsule for distributing beverages is characterized in that it comprises means of deviation and distribution of flow, through which said fluid transits from said hollow body towards an outlet opening in a terminal portion of the said bottom wall and wherein said means of deviation and distribution of flow integrated on said body and comprise means of passage interdiction, impeding a passage of said fluid along a substantially rectilinear path from said hollow body to said outlet opening.
said means of passage interdiction of said fluid along a substantially rectilinear path comprise a wall arranged substantially in direction orthogonal respective to a longitudinal axis of the said capsule, said axis being oriented between the center of an upper opening of said hollow body and said outlet opening.
said means of deviation and distribution of flow comprise a plurality of flow directing walls, having a first and a second direction of development and wherein at least one first of said directions of development is parallel to a direction defined by a longitudinal axis of the said capsule, said axis being oriented between the center of an upper opening of said hollow body and said outlet opening.
said plurality of flow directing walls develops in a direction which is radial respective to said longitudinal axis.
said plurality of flow directing walls comprises at least one first series of walls of a first greater radial extension and a second series of walls of a second lower radial extension, wherein each wall of the said second series is interposed between two walls of the said first series.
said plurality of flow directing walls is joined to a first step connecting said wall defining a lateral surface to said bottom wall.
At least part of the said plurality of walls has a profile inclined downwards.
said means of passage interdiction comprise a plurality of longitudinal slits extending in a direction parallel respective to a longitudinal axis of the said capsule, said axis being oriented between the center of an upper opening of said hollow body and said outlet opening.
said means of deviation and distribution of flow comprise at least one first crown of flow directing column-like elements.
said means of deviation and distribution of flow comprise furthermore a second crown of flow directing column-like elements.
said flow directing column-like elements of the said second crown are arranged along the same radial directrix of the flow directing column-like elements of the said first crown.
said outlet opening comprises a central flow-braking element.
said plurality of flow directing walls is configured for orienting the flow towards said first crown of column-like elements.
At least part of said flow directing walls is oriented along the same radial directrix that passes for a column at least of the said first crown of column-like elements.
said first and/or said second crown of column-like elements comprises a plurality of vertically extending columns, defining between each other a plurality of recesses of a depth lower than the overall height defined on said first and/or second crown respective to the bottom wall.
the capsule 100 object of the present invention is suitable for containing a beverage in powder that is housed inside a cavity of its body.
the capsule with said beverage is sealed at least in correspondence of an its upper opening.
the capsule 100 object of the present invention is suitable for being introduced within a device for delivering beverages that comprises means of injection of a fluid within said capsule, through a through hole of the sealing on the upper opening.
the powder beverage therein contained is partially dissolved and its content is subsequently delivered through a bottom opening within a container out of the device for delivering beverages.
the capsule 100 object of the present invention comprises a hollow and liquid impermeable body, preferably but in a non-limiting extent realized in plastic, which comprises a wall defining a lateral surface 102 and a bottom wall 103 joined to said wall defining the lateral surface.
said capsule 100 comprises a body a circular section, with diameter greater in correspondence of an its first upper end where there is an upper opening and that as long as it develops towards the direction opposite results of a progressively reducing diameter; in correspondence of the bottom wall 103 there is an outlet opening 106 that allows the exit of the beverage.
the body of the capsule 100 object of the present invention defines a longitudinal axis X, that in detail is centered in the center of the outlet opening 106 and passes, as well, in the center of the upper opening.
the bottom wall is not orthogonal respective to the longitudinal axis but is slightly convex outwards, and it also tapers in correspondence of the outlet opening 106.
the body of the capsule 100 object of the present invention can divide in a first upper subsection A of a greater diameter , provided with a perimetral lip for positioning a sealing means of the upper opening, a second intermediate subsection B of a diameter reducing towards the third subsection C, and said third subsection C that comprises the bottom wall 103 and the outlet opening 106.
the capsule 100 object of the present invention comprises means of deviation and distribution of flow 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 115c, 119, 116c through the which the flow of the beverage transits through the body of the capsule for exiting from the outlet opening 106 through a non-rectilinear path.
non-rectilinear path shall be intended a path wherein the fluid changes at least once the direction of flowing respective to an axial direction corresponding to the direction defined by the longitudinal axis X.
the integration allows for realizing the body of the capsule 100 in a single piece for example by means of moulding, and this advantageously allows a money-saving realization of the body of the capsule 100.
said means of deviation and distribution of flow 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 115c, 119, 116c comprise means 114 of interdiction to the passage of the fluid injected along a substantially rectilinear path.
the means of interdiction 114 impede that the fluid injected from the device for delivering into the capsule 100 can travel a simple path substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis X for then exiting from the outlet opening 106.
Said means of interdiction as it is visible from figure 3 and more in detail in the figure 4 , 5 and 6 , comprise a wall arranged substantially in direction orthogonal respective to the longitudinal axis X of the capsule 100.
the wall 114 is the upper part of a castle that is joined to the outlet opening 106, this last protruding outside the bottom wall 103 while in contrast the castle rest inside the cavity of the body of the capsule 100.
the number of longitudinal slits 118 that in the embodiment represented in the annexed figures is equal to 8, shall not be intended in a limiting extent, since said number is variable in accordance to at least the size of the capsule and further in accordance to the amount of beverage, its granularity and pressure of distribution of the fluid.
said means of deviation and distribution of flow comprise also a plurality of flow directing walls 111, 112, 113 having a first and a second direction of development, wherein the first of said directions of development is parallel to a direction defined by the longitudinal axis X.
flow directing walls 111, 112, 113 develop in a direction which is radial to the longitudinal axis.
At least part of the said plurality of flow directing walls 111, 112, 113 has a profile which is inclined downwards.
the effect of the flow directing walls is to allow to address the flow of fluid and beverage coming from the upper opening, towards the longitudinal slits 118 in a more controlled way, so that no vortex with axes parallel to the longitudinal axis X create.
the flow directing walls comprise at least one first series of walls 111 of greater radial extension, a second series of walls 112 of radial extension intermediate and a third series of walls 113 of minimum radial extension.
Each wall of the second series is interposed between two walls of the first series.
Each wall of the third series is interposed between two walls of the second series. All the walls, of the first series of walls 111, as well as of the second series of walls 112 and of the third series of walls 113 have at least an extremity in contact with an interconnection zone between the surface that defines the lateral wall of the capsule 100 and the bottom wall 103.
said interconnection zone there is a step 105 on which in use a filter cardboard that acts as lower sustaining element for the powder of the beverage is welded.
the fact of having radial extensions being different for the flow directing walls 111, 112, 113 advantageously allows for not to limit excessively the area which is available for the fluid in proximity of the longitudinal slits 118 and according to the applicant allows a more optimal distribution of flows, allowing the creation of micro vortexes in correspondence of the least radially extended walls, that allow an almost final mixing of the beverage, before the exiting of the same.
the capsule for distributing beverages 100 object of the present invention finally comprises a plurality of column-like elements arranged on a couple of concentric crowns (115c, 116c). Alternatively, the crown of column-like elements can be also only one.
the crown of column-like elements is defined on a center coinciding with the longitudinal axis X of the capsule 100.
the first and the second crown of column-like elements 115c, 116c extend starting from the bottom wall 103 and is conceived for creating at least one barrier that allows the granules to deposit on the bottom instead of being free to exit from the longitudinal slits 118.
the first and the second crown 115c, 116c comprise therefore each one a plurality of column-like elements that define recesses with a depth lower than the height of the respective crown; this means that the recesses so defined do not extend up to the base of the crown, but leave a portion of this last completely full, and this portion is exactly the one that acts as a barrier.
the flow directing walls are oriented along the same radial direction of at least one column of said plurality of crowns 115c, 116c of column-like elements.
the combination of the first and the second crown 115c, 116 of column-like elements advantageously allows to have an annular recess wherein at the moment of the distribution of the fluid and beverage creates a vortex that allows a second deposit of potential granules of beverage before they can reach the longitudinal slits 118 from which they would inevitably be expelled.
the column-like elements or teeth of the crown lie on a same radial line, and this is the one that departs orthogonally respective to the tangent to the circumference defined by the respective crown.
the path defined by the flow of the fluid and beverage is schematically represented in figure 6 by the dashed line 200.
object of the present invention is finally present a flow breaking element 119 within the cavity of the outlet opening 106, that is designed in such a way to avoid that into it creates a whirling flow that can lead to sprays outside the glass or cup or anyway contained within which said beverage is distributed after exiting from the capsule 100.
the capsule 100 has furthermore an intermediate step 104 arranged between the first subsection A and the second subsection B; on said intermediate step, that delimits an annular surface planarly orthogonal respective to the longitudinal axis X of the capsule 100, in use is arranged a second filter cardboard.
