The capsule 1, 2 further comprises an external pocket 8 which is of flexible, semi-rigid or rigid material which surrounds the internal pocket 7 and which is fixed to its collar 6.
La fixation des poches 7, 8 à ia collerette peut se faire par tout moyen approprié en fonction notamment des matières utilisées: coiîage, soudage etc. La collerette 0 comprend au moins sur un côté un rebord en deux parties 9, 10 qui forment entré elles un passage 11 permettant la sortie de la capsule du liquide qui à passé par la première poche 7 et se trouve dans un espace entre les deux poches 7, 8. La figure S illustre une vue e coupe de la capsule 1 , 2 permettant de mieux comprendre son fonctionnement. Une première aiguille 12 est introduite dans l'opercule. 5 et perce celui-ci pour l'introduction de liquide (par exemple de l'eau chaude) dans la première poche 7 qui contient le produit utilisé pour la boisson (par exemple du café moulu). Le liquide diffuse dans le produit et sort de la partie filtre formée par la poche 7, par exemple sous l'effet de ia pression. Ce liquide est récupéré dans la deuxièm 8 poche, e particulier dans le volume situé entre les deux poches 7 et 8 et notamment sous l'effet de la pression remonte au niveau du passage 11 , Dans ce passage se trouve également une aiguille 13 ou un autre moyen équivalent permettant la récupération dudit liquide pour son écoulement dans un récipient, par exempl une tasse. The fixing of the pockets 7, 8 to the collar can be done by any appropriate means depending in particular materials used: coiîage, welding etc. The flange 0 comprises at least on one side a flange in two parts 9, 10 which form therein a passage 11 allowing the outlet of the capsule of the liquid which has passed through the first pocket 7 and is in a space between the two pockets 7, 8.

A first needle 12 is inserted into the lid. 5 and pierce it for the introduction of liquid (eg hot water) into the first bag 7 which contains the product used for the drink (eg ground coffee). The liquid diffuses into the product and leaves the filter portion formed by the pocket 7, for example under the effect of pressure. This liquid is recovered in the second pocket 8, especially in the volume located between the two pockets 7 and 8 and in particular under the effect of the pressure rises at the passage 11, In this passage is also a needle 13 or a another equivalent means for recovering said liquid for its flow in a container, for example a cup.
La deuxième aiguille 13 perce l'opercule 5 soit en même temps que la première 12. soit après, par exemple pour qu'une pression prédéterminée puisse être atteint dans la capsule 1 ,2 avant le percement de l'opercule 5 par ia deuxième aiguille 13. The second needle 13 pierces the lid 5 either at the same time as the first one 12 or after, for example so that a predetermined pressure can be reached in the capsule 1, 2 before the opening of the lid 5 by the second needle 13.
La capsule 1 , 2 peut comprendre un seul passage 11 comme sortie ou plusieurs passages répartis de façon symétrique ou non sur le pourtour de la collerette 6. Alternativement, ou en plus, on peut prévoir d'autres sorties/passage 11 sur la poche externe 8 situées sur ses bords et/ou sur son fond et en d'autres endroits de la capsule et permettant l'évacuation du liquide qui a traversé la première poche 7. Typiquement, ces sorties/passages peuvent être percés lors de l'usage de la capsule 1 , 2 ou alors peuvent être fermée pa une membran attachée à la poche 8, ladite membrane se déchirant, ou se décollant ou se détachant de la deuxième poche lors de l'usage de la capsule 1 , 2. Ce déchirement ou détachement peut être créé par la pression interne atteint dans la capsule ou par des moyens externes placés par exemple dans la cage à capsule 14 qui perceront au moment approprié la deuxième poche 8. Par exemple, cette deuxième poche 8 peut se déformer {comme se gonfler) lorsqu le liquide sort de la première poche 7, cette déformation ou ce gonflement de la poche externe 8 créant un ouverture d'évacuation dans ladite poche externe 8 soit par déchirement localisé de celle-ci et/ou percement, par exemple par des moyens appropriés (pointes, harpons etc..) situés sur !a cage à capsule 14 (voir figures 9-11 ) et qui pourraient être mis en œuvre lorsque la déformation de ia poche 8 a atteint une certaine amplitude. The capsule 1, 2 may comprise a single passage 11 as an outlet or several passages distributed symmetrically or otherwise around the periphery of the collar 6. Alternatively, or in addition, other outlets / passage 11 may be provided on the outer pocket 8 located on its edges and / or on its bottom and in other parts of the capsule and allowing the evacuation of the liquid which has passed through the first pocket 7. Typically, these outlets / passages can be pierced during the use of the capsule 1, 2 or so may be closed by a membrane attached to the pocket 8, said membrane tearing, or peeling or detaching from the second pocket during the use of the capsule 1, 2. This tearing or detachment can be created by the internal pressure reached in the capsule or by external means placed for example in the capsule cage 14 which will pierce at the appropriate time the second pocket 8. For example, this second pocket 8 may deform (as it swells) as the liquid exits the first pocket 7, this deformation or swelling of the outer pocket 8 creating a discharge opening in said outer pocket 8 is localized tearing of it and / or piercing, for example by appropriate means (spikes, harpoons, etc.) located on the capsule cage 14 (see FIGS. 9-11) and which could be implemented when the deformation of ia Pocket 8 has reached a certain amplitude.
Une combinaison de différents types de passages/sorties 11 est bien entendu possible dans le cadre de la présente invention, A combination of different types of passages / outlets 11 is of course possible within the scope of the present invention,
La figure 9 illustr en coupe une cage 14 dans laquelle une capsule 1 , 2 selon l'invention (telle qu'illustrée par exemple dans les figures 1-8) est introduite et tes aiguilles 12, 13. Figure 9 illustrates in section a cage 14 in which a capsule 1, 2 according to the invention (as illustrated for example in Figures 1-8) is introduced and the needles 12, 13.
La figure 10 illustre en coupe l'état de ia capsule 1, 2 dans la cage 14 avec les aiguilles 12,13 en position d'utilisation. Figure 10 illustrates in section the state of the capsule 1, 2 in the cage 14 with the needles 12,13 in the position of use.
La figure 11 illustre une vue en perspective et en éclaté de la capsule 1 , 2, de la cage et des aiguilles 12, 3. FIG. 11 illustrates a perspective and exploded view of the capsule 1, 2, the cage and the needles 12, 3.
Les poches 7, 8 peuvent comprendre un lèvre T, 8' pour leur fabrication: par exemple les poches 7, 8 peuvent être formés de deux parties qui sont assemblées et fixées ensemble par les lèvres 7'.8' (par soudage, collage ou tout autre procédé approprié). The pockets 7, 8 may comprise a lip T, 8 'for their manufacture: for example the pockets 7, 8 may be formed of two parts which are assembled and fixed together by the lips 7'.8' (by welding, gluing or any other suitable method).
Après ajout du produit dans la poche interne 7, la capsuie 1 est fermée par l'ajout et la fixation d l'opercule 5 su la collerette 6. Alternativement tes poches 7, 8 peuvent être formée d'un seu! tenant. After the product has been added to the inner bag 7, the cap 1 is closed by adding and fixing the lid 5 to the collar 6. Alternatively, the bags 7, 8 may be formed of a single piece. taking.
L'opercule 5 est attaché à la collerette 6 par exemple par une soudur périphérique ou par collage ou tout autre moyen approprié (laminage etc.). Si une membrane est utilisée pour une sortie de la deuxième poche 8, (à la place du passage 11 ou en plus dudit passage), de préférence une partie de la soudure de la membrane â la poche 8 est plus faible de façon à faciliter le décollement de la membrane dans la zone affaiblie (et par conséquent à un endroit choisi). La membrane peut aussi se déchirer sous l'effet de la pression du liquide dans la capsule 1. Ge déchirement peut être induit par un affaiblissement de la membrane ou par des moyens externes (pointes etc.) situés à l'extérieur, par exemple sur la cage à capsule 14. Dans le cas où c'est fa poche 8 elle-même qui se déforme et/ou se déchire les même principes peuvent s'appliquer: affaiblissement, moyens externes etc. The lid 5 is attached to the flange 6 for example by a peripheral weld or by gluing or any other suitable means (rolling etc.). If a membrane is used for an outlet of the second pocket 8, (instead of the passage 11 or in addition to said passage), preferably a portion of the weld of the membrane to the pocket 8 is smaller so as to facilitate the detachment of the membrane in the weakened area (and therefore at a chosen location). The membrane can also tear under the effect of the pressure of the liquid in the capsule 1. Ge tearing can be induced by a weakening of the membrane or by external means (spikes etc.) located outside, for example on 14. In the case where it is the pocket 8 itself which is deformed and / or torn, the same principles may apply: weakening, external means, etc.
Dans un tel cas, il peut être utile voire nécessaire de prévoir une sortie de la cage 14 dans le fond 15 et/ou sur les côtés 16 de la cage 14 à cet effet, Le éléments de la capsule 1 peuvent être en toute matière appropriée: par exemple des matières biodégradables, des matières synthétiques ou métalliques. Le corps et le chapeau peuvent être en une seule pièce ou en deux parties ou plus. De préférence, fa capsule, en particulier l'opercule S, les pochés 7, 8 sont en maiière(s) soupie(s), et/ou en matière(s) rigide(s) ou semi~ngide(s), voire élastique, ou en une combinaison de ces matières. In such a case, it may be useful or even necessary to provide an outlet of the cage 14 in the bottom 15 and / or on the sides 16 of the cage 14 for this purpose, the elements of the capsule 1 may be in any suitable material for example biodegradable materials, synthetic or metallic materials. The body and the hat may be in one piece or in two or more parts. Preferably, the capsule, in particular the operculum S, the poets 7, 8 are in souped (s), and / or rigid (s) or semi ~ ngid (s), or elastic, or a combination of these materials.
La capsule et/ou. son corps peuvent avoi différentes tailles comme illustré dans les figures 1-2. Le choix de la taille peut être lié à la boisson préparée (p.ex. café, thé ou autre) ou à la quantité désirée de boisson (p.e une ou plusieurs tasses, espresso ou café long etc). The capsule and / or. His body may have different sizes as shown in Figures 1-2. The choice of size may be related to the beverage prepared (eg coffee, tea or other) or the desired amount of beverage (eg one or more cups, espresso or long coffee etc).
La fixation des éléments formant la capsule s'effectue selon des procédés appropriés, en fonction notamment des matières utilisées: soudure (à chaud, uitrasonique etc.), chassage, clipsàge, collage, laminage etc, Pour son ouverture, la membrane de sortie de la poche peut avoir une ou plusieurs zone(s) d'affaiblissement et/ou d'éclatement prévue(s) ou alors une ou plusieurs zone{s) de fixation â la capsule affaibiie(s) afin de faciliter son ouverture de façon contrôlée. On peut également prévoir des moyens additionnels de percement, par exemple liés à la cage 14 à capsule ou autre. The fixing of the elements forming the capsule is carried out according to appropriate methods, depending in particular on the materials used: welding (hot, uitrasonique etc.), driving, clipping, gluing, rolling etc, For its opening, the exit membrane of the pocket may have one or more zone (s) of weakening and / or burst provided (s) or then one or more zone (s) of attachment to the capsule affaibiie (s) ) to facilitate its opening in a controlled manner.
