Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Getränkebereiter nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, insbesondere auf Getränkebrühwasserbereiter, wie z. B. elektrische Kaffeemaschinen.The invention relates to a beverage maker according to the preamble of claim 1, in particular to beverage brewing water makers, such as electric coffee machines.
Derartige Getränkebrühwasserbereiter sind bekannt, wobei die Wasserstandsanzeige mit einer Volumen- oder Tassenskala versehen ist. In der Praxis ist es aber erwünscht, daß der Benutzer an geeigneter Stelie ablesen kann, welche Menge an Kaffeemehi oder Tee erforderlich sind, damit er bei gleichem Wasserstand ein starkes oder mildes Getränk bekommt.Such beverage brewing water makers are known, with the water level indicator being provided with a volume or cup scale. In practice, however, it is desirable for the user to be able to read off at a suitable location the amount of ground coffee or tea required to obtain a strong or mild drink at the same water level.
Insbesondere ist aus dem deutschen Gebrauchsmuster 295 19 339 eine elektrische Kaffeemaschine mit einer Wasserpegelanzeige bekannt, bei der die Anzeige durch einen drehbaren Körper mit einer Anzahl Skalenteilungen gebildet wird, der hinter einem im Wasserbehälter vorgesehenen Fenster angeordnet ist.In particular, an electric coffee machine with a water level indicator is known from German utility model 295 19 339, in which the indicator is formed by a rotatable body with a number of scale divisions, which is arranged behind a window provided in the water tank.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Getränkebereiter mit Flüssigkeitsstandsanzeigevorrichtung zu schaffen, der zusätzlich eine Vorrichtung aufweist, mit deren Hilfe der Benutzer die Information erhält, welche Menge an Zubereitungssubstrat, wie z. B. Kaffeemehl oder Tee für ein starkes oder mildes Getränk bei gleichem Wasserstand erforderlich ist.The object of the invention is to create a beverage maker with a liquid level indicator device, which additionally has a device with the help of which the user receives the information about which quantity of preparation substrate, such as ground coffee or tea, is required for a strong or mild beverage at the same water level.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1.This problem is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1.
Durch die vorzugsweise innerhalb einer als Schauglas ausgebildeten Flüssigkeitsstandsanzeigevorrichtung angeordneteBy means of the liquid level indicator device preferably arranged within a sight glass
Dosiermengenanzeigevorrichtung, die vorteilhaft mit mindestens zwei unterschiedlichen Skalen versehen ist, wird dem Benutzer in Verbindung mit der Volumen- oder Tassenskala der Fiüssigkeitsstandsanzeigevorrichtung die für ein starkes oder mildes Getränk erforderliche Zubereitungssubstratmenge, wie z. B. Kaffeepulver, Kaffeemehl, Schokoladenpulver, Milchpulver, Teeblätter und dgl., bei gleichem Wasserstand angezeigt. Die Dosiermengenanzeigevorrichtung ist als Drehkörper ausgebildet, auf dem mehrere Skalen angeordnet sind, so daß der Benutzer durch Drehen des Drehkörpers alle Skalenteilungen individuell mit dem auf der Skalenteilung der Flüssigkeitsanzeigevorrichtung ablesbaren Wasserstand zur Deckung bringen und auf der Dosiermengenanzeigevorrichtung die erforderliche Dosiermenge ablesen kann. Vorteilhaft ist der drehbare Körper rotationssymmetrisch ausgebildet und durch Drehen, Umstecken oder dgl. in seiner Lage veränderbar.Dosage quantity display device, which is advantageously provided with at least two different scales, shows the user, in conjunction with the volume or cup scale of the liquid level display device, the amount of preparation substrate required for a strong or mild drink, such as coffee powder, ground coffee, chocolate powder, milk powder, tea leaves and the like, at the same water level. The dosage quantity display device is designed as a rotating body on which several scales are arranged, so that the user can individually align all scale divisions with the water level readable on the scale division of the liquid display device by rotating the rotating body and read the required dosage quantity on the dosage quantity display device. The rotating body is advantageously designed to be rotationally symmetrical and its position can be changed by rotating, repositioning or the like.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in den Zeichnungen dargestellt und wird nachfolgend näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawings and is described in more detail below. They show:
Figur 1 eine Kaffeemaschine mit der erfindungsgemäßenFigure 1 shows a coffee machine with the inventive
Dosiermengenanzeigevorrichtung;
Figur 2 die Flüssigkeitsstandsanzeigevorrichtung der Kaffeemaschine gemäßDosing quantity display device;
Figure 2 the liquid level indicator device of the coffee machine according to
Fig. 1 mit der erfindungsgemäßen Dosiermengenanzeigevorrichtung.Fig. 1 with the dosage quantity display device according to the invention.
Die dargestellte Kaffeemaschine 3 weist einen Wasserbehälter 4 nebst zylinderförmigem Schauglas 8 mit einer Flüssigkeitsstandsanzeigevorrichtung 1 mit Skalenteilung Si auf. Eine Dosiermengenanzeigevorrichtung 2 ist drehbar im Schauglas 8 der Flüssigkeitsstandsanzeigevorrichtung 1 gelagert. Die Dosiermengenanzeigevorrichtung 2 ist ais Drehkörper 7 ausgebildet, der tief in einen Flüssigkeitsbehälter nebst Flüssigkeitsstandsanzeigevorrichtung 1 eintaucht. Die Dosiermengenanzeigevorrichtung 2 weist einen Bedienungsknopf 5 auf, an dem ein Bund 6 vorgesehen ist. Über den Bund 6 ist der Drehkörper 7 drehbar im Schauglas 8 der Flüssigkeitsstandsanzeigevorrichtung 1 gelagert. Vorder- und Rückseite des Drehkörpers 7 ist mit Skalenteilungen S2 und S3 mit Dosiermengenangaben für starken und milden Kaffee versehen, so daß durchThe coffee machine 3 shown has a water container 4 and a cylindrical sight glass 8 with a liquid level indicator 1 with scale divisions Si. A dosage indicator 2 is rotatably mounted in the sight glass 8 of the liquid level indicator 1. The dosage indicator 2 is designed as a rotating body 7 which is immersed deep into a liquid container and liquid level indicator 1. The dosage indicator 2 has an operating button 5 on which a collar 6 is provided. The rotating body 7 is rotatably mounted in the sight glass 8 of the liquid level indicator 1 via the collar 6. The front and back of the rotating body 7 are provided with scale divisions S 2 and S 3 with dosage information for strong and mild coffee, so that
Drehen des Drehkörpers 7 die gewünschte Skala mit dem auf der Flüssigkeitsstandsanzeigevorrichtung angezeigten Wasserstand zur Deckung gebracht und die erforderliche Dosiermenge abgelesen werden kann.By rotating the rotating body 7, the desired scale is aligned with the water level shown on the liquid level indicator and the required dosage amount can be read.
