Definitions

  • This invention relates to a beverage filter cup or cartridge to be filled or pre-filled by users at their homes or shops with flavor-containing material like coffee, tea, cocoa or apple cider.
  • An empty space 24 of almost 1 inch tall is formed below the flat filter bottom 23 to prevent the sharp tip 31 of a needle 29 on bottom wall 27 of cup holder 28 from breaking the filter bottom when cup 10A is fully inserted into holder 28. Needle 29 is designed to pierce bottom wall 25 for beverage to flow out via channel 30. Neither solution, however, fully utilizes the space in the cup for ground coffee due to the tall empty space 24.
  • Such filter cup typically has a cup-shaped filter 20 formed in container 19 and the empty space 24 is tall enough to prevent filter bottom 23 from being punctured by needle 29.
  • a rigid lid 41 has a rubber O-ring 42 positioned on sidewall 43 to seal to the sidewall 16 of container 19.
  • An opening 45 is formed at the center of the lid to receive a water injection needle (not shown) from a brewer and a plate 47 with several holes 44 for distributing water from the injection needle to ground coffee 12.
  • a water injection needle (not shown) from a brewer and a plate 47 with several holes 44 for distributing water from the injection needle to ground coffee 12.
  • Such filter cup allows consumers to use their own coffee grounds, it cannot hold enough ground coffee for a strong or large cup of coffee either.
  • Such filter cup is also time consuming and messy to fill and clean, especially in the morning when both coffee and time are equally precious, which negates the convenience and speed of K-Cup ® brewing.
  • Simple CupTM offers a disposable filter paper that fits into the filter cups. However, the filter paper further reduces the amount of the coffee the filter cup can hold.
  • Simple CupTM also provides separate containers, lids and a stand tool to allow users to assemble a filter cup by placing a filter paper into a container, filling coffee, and then pushing a lid hard into the container with the support of the stand tool. This process is even more difficult and slower than the process of using the filter cups of Fig. IB. In addition, since there is no seal between the lid and container in the assembled filter cup, the coffee cannot stay fresh and the lid is prone to slip out of the container to cause coffee grounds to sputter all over during dropping and storage.
  • the first objective of the invention is to provide a new beverage cup that is not only as convenient and fast to use as K-Cups ® but also gives consumers the freedom to choose their own roast, brand and amount of ground coffee as the refillable filter cups do.
  • the second objective of the invention is to provide a new beverage cup that can allow consumers to fill in up to 50% more ground coffee as K-Cups ® or the refillable filter cups.
  • the third objective of the invention is to provide a new beverage cup that can save consumers up to at least 50% cost compared to the cost of K-Cups ® .
  • the last objective of the invention is to provide a new cup that is both re-usable when a user desires cost savings more and disposable when a user desires convenience more.
  • the beverage cup or cartridge of the present invention includes an impermeable cup-shaped container having a flat bottom wall pierceable by a beverage outlet needle in the holder of a brewer and a cup-shaped filter has a flat filter bottom supported on the flat bottom wall or positioned sufficiently close to the flat bottom to allow the needle to push part of the flat filter bottom upwards to form a beverage collection chamber.
  • the beverage collection chamber of the present invention is not present prior to the brewing operation, thus allowing the beverage cup of the present invention to be able to hold up to 50% more ground coffee.
  • the beverage cup further comprises a lid that has an outer sidewall smaller than the opening of the cup-shaped container to allow the lid to move into and out of the container almost freely to facilitate the closure of the container and a pressure sensitive adhesive O-ring positioned between the horizontal peripheral wall of the lid and the horizontal rim of the cup-shaped container.
  • the cup-shaped container and lid are made of very thin wall to minimize the material use and enable the cup to be disposable and reusable per the user's wish.
  • the lid further comprises a sloped inner sidewall to transform the brewing pressure in the cup into radial outward force acting on the outer sidewall of the lid to impart the strength and rigidity to the thin walled lid during the brewing operation to prevent deformation of the outer sidewall of the lid, thus preventing hot water leakage.
  • the beverage cup further comprises a ring-shaped pressurization chamber enclosed by the outer sidewall, inner sidewall and a top film sealed to the lid.
  • the pressurization chamber is at ambient pressure prior to brewing and becomes pressurized and expanded in volume when hot water is injected into the beverage cup by the water inlet needle of the brewer, thus imparting rigidity to the thin walled lid and acting as an O-ring to improve the seal to the container.

  • the parts that are similar to those in the prior art drawings of Figs. 1A and IB are assigned the same reference numbers for simplicity.
  • Container 19 is preferably cup-shaped and has a gradually tapering truncated conical impermeable lower sidewall 22, an impermeable upper sidewall 16, a step 18 between the lower and upper sidewalls, a substantially flat impermeable bottom wall 25 pierceable by beverage outlet needle 29, and a radially outwardly protruding rim 15 surrounding a circular access opening for receiving flavor- containing material 12 such as ground coffee, tea, cocoa or other flavor-containing materials.
  • the outlet needle is located at the bottom 27 of holder 28 of a brewer and has a sharp tip 31 for piercing the bottom wall 25 and a beverage outlet channel 30.
  • the filter 170 is cup-shaped and comprises an upper filter sidewall 177 permanently joined to an interior surface of the upper sidewall 16, a lower filter sidewall 171 and a closed substantially flat filter bottom 173 to define a storage chamber to store the flavor-containing material 12, shown in FIGS. 2 and 2B.
  • the flat filter bottom 173 of the current invention has a substantially flat elastomer film 111 attached to the filter bottom 173 and is located on or sufficiently close to the bottom 25 of the container 19, thus maximizing the volume or capacity of the storage chamber for holding the flavor-containing material 12. It was found that the storage chamber of the beverage filter cup 100 can hold up to 50% more flavor-containing material 12 than prior-art filter cups 10A and 10B shown in Figs 1A and IB.
  • the beverage collection chamber 110 of the present invention is almost non-existent prior to the insertion of the filter cup 100 into holder 28.
  • the beverage collection 110 is formed in the filter cup 100 when the bottom wall 25 of container 19 is pierced by outlet needle 29 and the outlet needle pushes part of the filter bottom 173 upwards.
  • the collection chamber 110 increases in size as more of the needle 29 penetrates through the bottom wall 25 and reaches a maximum size after the cup 100 is fully inserted into holder 28.
  • the elastomer film 111 makes the filter bottom 173 piercing-resistant to the outlet needle.
  • Other piercing-resistant sheet either flexible or rigid, such as a polyolefin sheet or non-woven polypropylene film, may be attached to the filter bottom 173 to make filter bottom piercing-resistant.
  • the upper filter sidewall 177 becomes invisible after the filter is sealed to the upper sidewall 16 of the container via either heat, ultrasonic, infrared or other energy.
  • Such invisibility of the filter improves the seal between the container 19 and lid 122, make it easier to fill and clean the beverage cup, and make the cup look better.
  • Known cup materials like polystyrene or polymeric laminate such as Product No. C150 of Winpak Portion Pack of Bristol, Pa taught by Sylvan et al in US Pat. Nos. 5,325,765 and 5,840,189 could not make the upper filter sidewall 177 invisible.
  • the filter 170 should also be made of the same or similar material as the container 19.
  • the materials that meet such conditions are polyethylene and polypropylene.
  • the lower filter sidewall 171 is pleated to facilitate the flow of the beverage out of the closed chamber defined or formed by the filter bottom 173, filter sidewall 171 and lid 122.
  • Vertical channels may be formed on the lower sidewall 22 and channels (not shown) may be formed on the bottom wall 25 of the container to improve flow of the beverage to the beverage collection chamber 110.
  • the lid 122 comprises a peripheral horizontal wall 115 above the rim 15 of the container, an impermeable center wall 127 pierceable by a water injection needle (not shown) from the brewer for introducing water into the container, and a circular channel 121 between the peripheral and center walls.
  • the circular channel 121 comprises a first outer lid sidewall 117 receivable in the access opening defined by the top sidewall 16 of the container, a second outer lid sidewall 119 receivable in the upper part of the sidewall 22 right below step 18, a step wall 118 to connect the first and second outer sidewalls, an inner sidewall 120 having one end connected to the center wall 127 and the other end connected to the second outer sidewall 119, and three flexible thin connectors or beams 114 to connect the rim 15 of the container 19 to the peripheral wall 115 of the lid. Space 112 is formed between the flexible beams 114.
  • the lid 122 of the present invention needs to use thin walls as thin as 0.01 inches to be disposable as the user wishes and needs to be movable to allow users to add ground coffee into container.
  • lid 122 is prone to hot water leakage during the brewing since its thin lid walls are very prone to deformation under the high brewing pressure.
  • the inner sidewall 120 is sloped, preferably sloped at an angle smaller than 60 degrees relative to the first outer sidewall 117.
  • Such sloped inner sidewall 120 transforms the brewing pressure inside the cup 100 into an outward radial force acting on the lower end of the first outside wall 117 to improve the rigidity of the thin walled lid 122 and the seal between the sidewalls 117 and 16.
  • the second outer sidewall 119 is provided to further improve the seal between the lid and container during the brewing.
  • lid 122 has a new food-safe, pressure sensitive adhesive O-ring 116 positioned on the underside of the horizontal peripheral wall 115 of the lid 122 as shown in Fig. 2.
  • the pressure sensitive adhesive O- ring 116 readily adheres to the rim 15 of the container 19 when lid 122 is turned by connector 114 and placed on container 19.

  • the lid sidewall 117 smaller than the top access opening little or no force is needed to press the lid into the container after the user fills the cup with ground coffee, thus making the sealing operation effortless.
  • the lid with lid sidewall 117 smaller than the top access opening is also critical to the successful preparation of the beverage cups when consumers fill and seal the cups at homes.
  • the sidewalls 16 and 22 of the container 19 are also very thin, e.g. thinner than about 0.03 inches. Such thin sidewalls cannot withstand the force needed to press the lid sidewall 117 into the top access opening if the lid sidewall 117 is about the same as or larger than the top opening of the container 19.
  • the lid with the smaller sidewall 117 can be pressed into the top access opening with little or no force, thus preventing the container 19 from collapsing when the user presses the lid into the container to seal the ground coffee 12 in the storage chamber defined or formed by the filter side wall 171 and filter bottom 173.
  • the beverage cup 100 uses very minimum amount of materials through the use of very thin walled lid 122 and container 19 and can be disposable like K-Cups ® , the more cost or environment conscious users may still wish to reuse the beverage cup 100.
  • the O-ring could lose its adhesion after the brewing operation.
  • Such loss of adhesion after brewing makes it possible for the user to open the lid, dispose the used grounds and clean the cup 10 for reuse.
  • the pressure sensitive adhesive O-ring re-gains its adhesion power to adhere and seal the lid to the container 19.
  • the pressure sensitive adhesives for making the O-Ring 116 may be a pressure sensitive hot melt such as FIMA-221-A from the Glue Factory, Germantown, Wi or a pressure sensitive emulsion such as AA-4080 from the same company. It was found for the cup 100 to work, the height of the pressure sensitive adhesive O-ring 116 needs to be about 0.1 millimeters to 2 millimeters, preferably 0.2 millimeters to 1 millimeter. As shown in Fig. 2B, the inner perimeter of the pressure sensitive adhesives O-Ring 116 is located close to or at the outer sidewall 117 to prevent the O-ring from falling off or being transferred to the rim 15 of the container after the lid is sealed to the container 19 and than removed from the container.
  • Various textures, roughness, protrusions, recessions, channels and ridges may be provided on the underside surface where the pressure sensitive adhesive O-Ring is located to prevent then O-ring from falling off the underside surface or being transferred to the rim during the sealing and removal of the lid.
  • the pressure sensitive adhesive O-ring 116 requires no release or protection paper. When the O-ring 116 gets dirty with dusts or coffee particles, it can be easily cleaned with rinsing water to cause it to lose adhesion power and it can then regain its adhesion power by letting it dry in air.

  • Fig. 2B An issue with the beverage cup 100 of Fig. 2B is that the lid 122, despite its very light weight that is typically less than 5 grams, often causes the container 19 to tilt and fall when the user places the beverage cup on table or countertop, which makes it inconvenient and difficult to fill the cup with ground coffee.
  • One solution is to provide a separate container 19 and lid 122, though this requires the user to store and handle two separate parts.
  • An improved solution is shown in Fig. 3B where one end of the lid 122 is connected to the rim 15 of the container 19 via a section of low-memory film connector 168 and the free end, which is opposite to the connected end, is at about the same height as the bottom 25 of the container 19.

  • the flexible outer peripheral section 160 of the film 167 prevents accidental opening when the cup 100 falls to hard ground or contacts other objects.
  • the flexible outer peripheral section 160 prevents any potential tampering of the content in the cup since when one tries pull it to open the lid 122, the film will be broken at or near its heat seal to the lid 167, which makes the cup 41 unusable and serves as a warning sign that the cup has been tampered.
  • the steam heat or water during brewing makes the lid 122 removable after the cup 100 is brewed, which makes it possible to re-use the cup or remove the waste grounds for better recycling.

It was found that when the recess 180 was sufficiently deep to cause the top surface of the shortened rim 115 to be at least about leveled with or even below the top surface of the rim 15 of the container 19, the adhesion force is significantly increased to make the lid 167 nearly impossible to open unless the cup 100 was brewed with hot water in the brewer.
  • the freshness and aroma of the ground coffee sealed in the cup 100 is greatly improved after 3 to 6 months of storage time. It is theorized that the larger opening 163 prevents air from entering the chamber when the room temperature or pressure changes during day and night. It was also found that the freshness and aroma of the ground coffee sealed in the cup 100 is greatly improved by making adhesive O-ring 1 16 sufficiently fluidic to cause the adhesive to wick when the container 19 is closed by lid 122. It was further found that the freshness and aroma of the ground coffee sealed in the cup 100 is greatly improved when the adhesive O- ring 116 includes a layer of the adhesive on the outer surface of the first outer lid sidewall 117.

  • the angle ⁇ should be between 90 to 265 degrees to enable proper filling and sealing of the cup by coffee filling equipment.
  • the peripheral section 160 of the film 167 is sealed to the rim 15 by either the adhesive O-ring 160 or heat seal.
  • the filter bottom 173 is substantially flat and is sufficiently close to or even in contact with the bottom wall 25 of the container 19 to form an extra large containing or filter chamber formed by the pleated side filter 171 and the closed bottom filter 173.
  • the beverage collection chamber 110 has zero or near zero-volume, but it is adapted to expand in volume during the brewing process to facilitate the extraction of the materials in the filter chamber and the flow of beverage out of the cup.
  • the current invention has avoided the "water channeling" problem common in K-Cups ® , which occurs because the water jet from the brewer produces a large center pathway between the water inlet needle in the brewer and the filter bottom 23 and causes most water from the brewer to pass through the filter bottom 23 (FIGS. 1 A and IB) directly without contacting the ground coffee.
  • the beverage filter cup 100 may adapt a square shape to reduce its need for storage and transportation space.
  • the beverage outlet needle 29 may be solid without the channel 30 and the beverage outlet is formed between the outer surface of the needle and the punctured hole at the bottom 25 of the container 19.
