Description

The utility model relates to the elements of devices for preparing drinks by passing hot water through a capsule containing a substance or extract (coffee, tea, cocoa, milk powder, etc.). The utility model can be used in devices for preparing drinks, which are vending machines that are used in vehicles, for example, taxis.

The preparation of drinks under conditions of shaking, vibration in a vehicle or in the absence of hard surfaces for installing devices for preparation (for example, when driving into natural conditions) - leads to the need to increase the protection against splashing of the prepared hot drink.

Known stationary car coffee maker, in which a coffee mug can be removably placed in the brewing station, which is closed with a removable lid, and the drink lid includes a capsule chamber formed therein, including at least one opening for draining the finished drink into a coffee mug, as well as a holder for capsules, including an opening for passing water (patent US7487712, publ. 02/10/2009). This solution provides protection against splashing under shaking conditions, but is applicable only for individual use, requires systematic cleaning of the cap and the capsule retainer, which is not suitable for use in public transport.

It is known to use, in a device for preparing beverages, a part for attachment to a vessel for detachable connection with the rim of the vessel to be connected; an annular part in the form of a lid panel extending radially inwardly relative to said part for connection to a vessel with an opening of significant dimensions for the passage of a large amount of liquid; part in the form of a chamber for receiving into it a portion of the aromatic material formed by walls extending downward relative to said part in the form of a lid panel and to a position significantly lower than said part for connection to a vessel (RF Application for Invention No. 99115457, publ. 10.06.2001 ). The described solution includes a chamber for receiving a portion of flavoring material, which does not ensure the tightness of the flavoring material, which adversely affects the taste of the resulting beverage, in particular coffee. In addition, the known solution, when used under conditions of shaking and vibration, does not provide safety for the user, since such a design of the device assumes the presence of an open jet of hot water used for brewing.

A device is known in which a capsule with coffee extract is removably mounted on a fixed tubular support (US patent US 5634394, published 03.06.1997). A beverage sealing tube leads from the support to the cup, which prevents splashing.

A device is known, in which a structural element of a coffee machine containing a capsule with coffee extract also includes an element ejecting this capsule after preparation of the beverage (US patent US 6510783, published 01.28.2003).

A device is known in which the capsule is located in the holder and together they are inserted into the coffee machine from any of three sides (application WO 2005063092, published 14.07.2005). The holder is equipped with an electric drive for the required rotation of the structure when loading and removing a capsule after preparing a drink.

A device is known in which the capsule holder is connected to a water supply unit with a seal (US patent US 7669518, published 03/02/2010). The faces of the dispenser and capsule holder only touch when they are connected.

A device is known in which the capsule holder has the shape of a hollow cylinder, includes a ram plate, a compression spring, a distribution cap, retaining valves, a hot water supply valve (application WO 2010092542, published on 19.08.2010). After water is supplied, the spring creates a downward counter pressure and the beverage flows through the holes into the finished coffee glass.

A device is known in which a capsule with coffee extract is inserted into a holder and located in a container, into which a drink that has seeped through the capsule flows, which, in turn, through a flexible hose enters a paper or plastic cup and is transferred to the consumer (US patent US 5150645, published 05/29/1991). There are blades above the capsule for piercing the capsule. The disadvantage of the device is the need to make a hole in the receiving glass for a hose through which the drink enters the glass and fixing the glass, for example, in vehicles.

The objective of the utility model is to create a glass with a capsule holder for preparing drinks, suitable for use under conditions of shaking and vibration in vehicles, including public transport, for example, in a taxi.

The technical result achieved by the claimed utility model is to ensure the safe preparation of a drink in a moving vehicle.

To achieve the technical result, a glass with a capsule holder for preparing drinks is claimed, including a socket for installing a capsule, characterized in that it contains an annular part containing holes for drinking connected to a glass consisting of side and bottom walls, while the glass is inseparable from the annular part , which is inseparable from the capsule socket.

The essence of the claimed utility model is illustrated in FIG. 1, which shows a side view of the inventive device in section, with:

1. Ring part

2. Side wall of the bowl body

3. Slot for capsule installation

4. The lower part of the bowl body

5. Glass body

The device contains an annular part 1, containing holes for drinking (not shown), monolithically connected to the socket for installing the capsule 3 and to the body of the glass 5, which consists of a side wall 2 and a lower part 4.

Example

A glass with a capsule holder for preparing drinks is made, for example, of plastic, paper, metal or ceramics, contains an annular part 1, integrally connected to the body of the glass 5, for example, by casting, gluing or soldering, which increases the protection against liquid leakage, especially in vibration and shock conditions. The annular part 1 contains drinking openings (not shown), which can be provided with protective caps. The annular part 1 is monolithically connected, for example, by stamping, casting, gluing or soldering, with the socket for inserting the capsule 3 and is made with the possibility of access and tightly pressing the capsule piercer, which is an element of the beverage preparation device, to the capsule with the beverage extract installed in glass with capsule holder. The socket for installing the capsule 3 is made with the possibility of tight fixation of the capsule, access and tight pressing of the capsule to the piercer.

For additional convenience of the user, after preparing the drink, the capsule can be closed with a lid made of plastic, pressed paper or other material.

The utility model works as follows.

The user manually places the capsule in the capsule insertion slot 3, then places the glass with the capsule holder with the installed capsule in the beverage preparation device and presses the capsule piercer against the capsule using a pressing device, for example, a lever. The user turns on the water supply. Water from the cold water tank is supplied by a water blower to a device for heating water and then to a piercer configured to drain water passing through the piercer inside the capsule through a puncture in the capsule body. Next, water passes inside the capsule through the ingredient located in the capsule body, through the capsule filter, presses on the lower wall of the capsule body, which bends under water pressure, contacts the internal piercer, pierces and passes the resulting drink further to the opening for draining the finished drink inside the glass body 5. After the cup is filled, the user removes the capsule piercer from the claimed device, lifting the lever, removes the claimed cup with the capsule holder. The spent capsule can be closed from above with a lid made of, for example, plastic or paper. The drink is ready to be consumed through the drinking hole. After drinking the drink, the user disposes of the declared glass with the capsule holder together with the capsule.

Thus, the claimed utility model makes it possible to obtain a drink, ensuring the safety of preparation under conditions of shaking and vibration in vehicles.

Claims (1)

A glass with a capsule holder for devices for preparing drinks, including a capsule socket, made with the possibility of tightly fixing the capsule, access and tightly pressing the capsule to the piercer, characterized in that it contains an annular part containing drinking openings connected to a glass consisting of a side and the bottom walls, while the glass is inseparable from the annular part, which is inseparable from the socket for installing the capsule.
