Definitions

  • the present invention is in the field of the preparation of drinks, e.g. ex. based on coffee, by extraction of a concentrated dose, e.g. ex. ground coffee, contained in a capsule.

  • US Pat. Nos. 2,899,886, US 2,968,560, US 3,403,617 and US 3,607,297 disclose devices in which the capsule is initially perforated in a plurality of locations and then passed through water under pressure.
  • One of the objectives of the present invention lies in the creation of a capsule preferably formed of biodegradable material, comprising a fuse membrane which bursts when exceeding its mechanical strength.
  • the bursting zone of the membrane is confined in one or more holes arranged in a cover which covers the outer face of the membrane.
  • the membrane that burst is advantageously for example NATUREFLEX NE30 or NM30 or any other material.
  • the extraction element of the capsule is formed as follows: The knit 3 and placed on the membrane 4 which is welded to a solid element (5).
  • the cover being of sufficient thickness for the membrane to rest on the base in FIG. 3-5-7-9. That will exceed its mechanical strength and burst. the pressurized coffee will therefore exit through the knit 3 and pass through the holes of the base illustrated in FIG. 3-5-7-9 below the capsule.
  • the thickness of the lid (5) may vary depending on the diameter of the hole thereof as well as the thickness and material of the bursting membrane.
  • the diameter of the hole (s) of the cover 5 may vary according to many parameters (for example, without limitation): thickness and materials forming the knit 3 and / or the membrane 4 intended to burst, product 2 content in the capsule. There may also be several holes in the lid. The holes may be aligned with the entries in the capsules, or offset therefrom.
  • the shape of the hole or holes may also vary. Figures 10 and 11 illustrate different possibilities. It should be noted that a non-circular shape has the advantage of asymmetries in the way of breaking the membrane. Such asymmetries therefore make it possible to better control the burst, both from the point of view of the bursting zone and from the moment when the membrane bursts. The presence of asymmetries in the shape of the hole most often results in bursting the membrane faster than in the case where the section is circular in shape. In the latter case, the distribution of the tensions in the membrane is indeed perfectly homogeneous.

Description

CAPSULE UTILISEE DANS LA PREPARATION D'UNE BOISSON AVEC
MEMBRANE DESTINEE A ECLATER
Domaine de l'invention
La présente invention se situe dans le domaine de la préparation de boissons, p. ex. à base de café, par extraction d'une dose concentrée, p. ex. de café moulu, contenue dans une capsule. Elle se rapporte plus particulièrement aux doses utilisées à cet effet ainsi qu'aux dispositifs utilisant de telles doses et aux procédés mis en œuvre lors de l'utilisation de telles doses.
Etat de la technique
Des capsules et des machines fonctionnant selon le principe précité existent depuis de nombreuses décennies.
Les brevets US 2 899 886, US 2 968 560, US 3 403 617 et US 3 607 297 décrivent des dispositifs où la capsule est initialement perforée en plusieurs endroits, puis traversée par de l'eau sous pression.
D'autres capsules munies d'une membrane sont décrites dans les documents brevets suivants : EP 0 468 079 A, EP 0 806 373 A, EP 0 554 469 A.
Exposé général de l'invention
Un des objectifs de la présente invention réside dans la création d'une capsule préférablement formée de matériau biodégradable, comprenant une membrane fusible qui éclate lors de dépassement de sa résistance mécanique. La zone d'éclatement de la membrane est confinée dans un ou plusieurs trous disposés dans un couvercle qui recouvre la face externe de la membrane.
Cet objectif est réalisé avec la capsule telle que définie dans les revendications. Selon l'invention, la membrane qui éclate est avantageusement par exemple du NATUREFLEX NE30 ou NM30 ou tout autre matière.
Les différents modes d'exécution de l'invention sont décrits en référence aux figures.
Dans celles-ci, on a illustré la capsule selon l'invention qui comprend les éléments suivants:
1 : Corps de la capsule (en bio ou autre).
2: Café (ou autre produit similaire) 3: Tricot (ou tissus ou autre matière filtrante telle que papier etc.) sous forme de membrane déformable.
4: Membrane (Natureflex avec résine de soudage marier bi ou autre dessus ou dessous).
5: Couvercle (en bio ou autre). 6: Feuille de papier (ou carton ou autre).
De préférence, l'élément d'extraction de la capsule est formé de la façon suivante: Le tricot 3 et posé sur la membrane 4 qui est soudée sur un élément solide (5).
Le principe de fonctionnement est le suivant:
- L'eau rentre dans la capsule par n'importe quel procédé (aiguilles, lames, éléments auto perçants comme ceux illustrés sur la face supérieure du corps de la capsule);
- la pression monte dans la capsule; - le café extrait se filtre à travers le tricot 3;
- la pression va déformer la membrane 4 au niveau du ou des trou(s) du couvercle 5;
- le couvercle étant d'une épaisseur suffisante pour que la membrane se repose sur la base en fig. 3-5-7-9. Celle va dépasser sa résistance mécanique et éclater. - le café sous pression va donc sortir au travers du tricot 3 et passer dans les trous de la base illustrée en fig. 3-5-7-9 en dessous de la capsule. L'épaisseur du couvercle (5) peut varier selon le diamètre du trou de celui-ci ainsi que l'épaisseur et la matière de la membrane d'éclatement .
Le diamètre du ou des trou(s) du couvercle 5 peut varier en fonction de nombreux paramètres (par exemple, à titre non-limitatif): épaisseur et matières formant le tricot 3 et/ou la membrane 4 destinée à éclater, produit 2 contenu dans la capsule. On peut également prévoir plusieurs trous dans le couvercle. Les trous peuvent être alignés sur les entrées dans la capsules, ou alors décalés par rapport à celles-ci.
On peut également prévoir des affaiblissements locaux de la membranes pour faciliter son éclatement.
La forme du ou des trous peut également varier. Les figures 10 et 11 illustrent différentes possibilités. A relever qu'une forme non circulaire présente l'avantage des asymétries dans la manière de faire éclater la membrane. De telles asymétries permettent donc de mieux contrôler l'éclatement, tant du point de vue de la zone d'éclatement que de l'instant où la membrane éclate. La présence d'asymétries dans la forme du trou a le plus souvent pour conséquence de faire éclater la membrane plus rapidement que dans le cas où la section est de forme circulaire. Dans ce dernier cas, la répartition des tensions dans la membrane est en effet parfaitement homogène.
Le tout est avantageusement conçu en utilisant des matériaux par exemple biodégradables ou partiellement biodégradables. Bien entendu les modes d'exécution donnés ci-dessus le sont à titre d'exemples non-limitatifs et de modifications sont possibles dans le cadre de la présente invention. Aussi, les différentes variantes peuvent être combinées entre elles.
