| 20120104038 | REPLACEABLE END-PIECE FOR A VAPOUR NOZZLE OF A COFFEE MACHINE - A replaceable end-piece which can be connected to the dispensing end, which is provided with connection means of the vapour nozzle of a coffee machine for heating and frothing a given quantity of milk contained in a jug, into which the nozzle is introduced. A tubular sleeve is provided with two ends, the first end of which is open and is provided with reversible connection means corresponding to those of the dispensing end of the nozzle. The sleeve defines at the inner side thereof a recess which extends in accordance with a longitudinal axis. The second end of the sleeve is also open and includes a body inserted therein, the body being provided with a plurality of channels connecting the recess to the external environment of the end-piece facing the second end of the sleeve. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20120073449 | AUTOMATIC MILK FROTHING WAND - A wand for dispensing vapor for heating and/or frothing a quantity of milk by vapor being introduced into a container in which the milk is located. The wand is provided with a first end, in the region of which it receives the vapor, and a second end, through which the vapor is dispensed. The second end can be positioned inside and outside the container by means of angular movements of the wand about an articulation to which the first end is connected. The articulation is mounted on a portion of a machine for preparing drinks. The wand further comprises a thermoelectrical sensor for detecting the temperature reached by the milk in the container. The sensor can transmit an electrical signal relating to the detected temperature outside the wand. | 03-29-2012 |
