20110076361 | BEVERAGE CARTRIDGE AND METHOD FOR BEVERAGE FORMATION USING FILTER AID - A method and apparatus for forming a beverage involves the use of a filter aid, e.g., that is provided in a beverage cartridge with a beverage medium in a dry state. In one embodiment, a cartridge including a dried fruit material may also include a filter aid, such as perlite, diatomaceous earth or cellulose, that is mixed together with the fruit material. The filter aid may assist in flow through the beverage medium or through a filter, e.g., by helping prevent the clogging of pores of a filter used to remove particulate from a beverage formed by interaction of the beverage medium with water introduced into the cartridge. Thus, the filter aid may permit the use of some beverage media that would otherwise clog a filter and/or prevent proper dissolution of materials in the beverage media without the filter aid. | 03-31-2011 |
20120058226 | BEVERAGE CARTRIDGE - A method, system and cartridge for forming a beverage includes a cartridge having a container defining an interior space, a lid, a filter, and a beverage medium contained in the interior space. The filter may be attached to the lid only, and extend into the interior space to separate first and second chambers of the cartridge. The filter may hold the beverage medium and be arranged so that, when the lid is removed from the container, e.g., by peeling the lid from the container, the filter and beverage medium are removed together with the lid. | 03-08-2012 |

20140044837 | Flavor Infusion Container - A reusable water container that infuses a fruit or herb flavor into a liquid inside the container. The container is segregated into a top liquid chamber, and a bottom flavor infusion chamber. The two chambers join at a watertight seal. A perforated divider positions between the two chambers, acting to retain the fruit in the infusion chamber when liquid is being poured out of the opening in the top of the container. The fruit or herb in the infusion chamber infuses a respective flavor by passing through the perforated divider, and infusing throughout the liquid in the entire container. A base detaches from the bottom of the infusion chamber so that the fruit or herb can be placed inside the infusion chamber. The base and the fruit may be frozen prior to attaching to the infusion chamber to cool the liquid. | 02-13-2014 |
20160052707 | BREWING ARTICLE CLADDING STRUCTURE - A brewing substance packaging structure includes a covered part to contain a brewing substance, a plate body, a through hole, a positioning body and a rope body. The positioning body may pass through the through hole of the plate body and stop at the plate body. One end of the rope body is passed through one side of the covered part and fixed to another side of the covered part, and another end of the rope body is fixed to the positioning body. The positioning body is passed through the through hole of the plate body and is adjusted between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the covered part drives the positioning body. In the second position, the positioning body is adjusted with a specific distance to the though hole, and the rope body pulls the covered part and the plate body is pressed. | 02-25-2016 |
20160066719 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DRINKING - An apparatus including a first container having a first open end and an opposing second open end, a second container having a first open end and an opposing second closed end, and a device for allowing or restricting access to an inner chamber of the second container through the open second end of the first container. The device may be connected at the second end of the first container and inserted into the second container. The device may include a first and a second device. Each of the first and the second device may have a surface, partially open and partially closed. In a first state in the open parts of the surfaces are aligned and access is allowed to the inner chamber; and in a second state closed parts of the surfaces of the first and the second device are aligned and access is inhibited to the inner chamber. | 03-10-2016 |
