| 20080283131 | Priming Valve Device for Water Circuit of a Beverage Machine - A priming valve device for a beverage machine. The device includes a casing assembly including a water inlet, a water outlet, and a drain and venting portion for discharging water or air during priming and a valve assembly associated with the casing assembly. The valve assembly includes a valve member which is moveable to a closed position which closes the water outlet by elastic return when the pressure in the water inlet decreases under the elastic return pressure of the valve member. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20090308258 | BREWING DEVICE FOR CAPSULE WITH CLOSURE MECHANISM OF VARIABLE TRANSMISSION RATIO - A brewing device for the brewing of a capsule containing a beverage ingredient, the device including a main frame, a first capsule holding part, a second capsule holding part for at least partially holding the capsule mobile relative to the first capsule holding part in the frame and linked to the frame by a closing mechanism that includes knuckle joints; and a manual handle forming lever to activate via the closing mechanism the second holding part from the open position to the closed position and vice versa. The closing mechanism includes an additional force transmitting member associated with the handle and arranged to de-multiply the force applied by the handle on the knuckle joints that compensates for the increase of the force needed for closing the holding parts on the capsule. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20100218684 | HEATING DEVICE WITH AN INTEGRATED THERMOBLOCK FOR A BEVERAGE PREPARATION MACHINE - An in-line heating device for a liquid food or beverage preparation machine in which liquid is circulated through the heating device and then guided into a brewing chamber. This heating device includes a thermoblock with a metal mass that incorporates an inlet, an outlet and a heating chamber extending therebetween to form a passage for guiding the liquid circulating through the mass, with the mass arranged to accumulate heat and to supply heat to the liquid; and one or more electric components that are rigidly secured onto or into the thermoblock and that are connected to a printed circuit board or a flex-print arranged to control the thermoblock. The electric components are rigidly connected to the printed circuit board or flex-print, in particular via rigid connector pins or blades or rigid plug and socket members. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20100282090 | INTEGRATED HEATER FOR A BEVERAGE PREPARATION DEVICE - An integrated in-line heater for a liquid food or beverage preparation machine, in which liquid is circulated through the heater and then guided into a brewing chamber for brewing a food or beverage ingredient, for instance within a pod or capsule, supplied into the brewing chamber. An upstream part of the brewing chamber may be formed by the heater. One or more electric components may be incorporated into the heater and rigidly connected to a printed circuit board. The heater may have a tubular inner core that is eccentric with respect to a tubular or prismatic outer member which form together a helicoidal heating chamber of variable cross-section. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20110011271 | BEVERAGE PRODUCTION DEVICE FOR PRODUCING A BEVERAGE FROM A SINGLE-USE CAPSULE - Beverage production device for producing a beverage from a single-use capsule containing a beverage ingredient, comprising: a brewing unit ( | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110041696 | MODULAR ASSEMBLY OF A BEVERAGE PREPARATION MACHINE - A process for manufacturing a beverage preparation machine by providing a group of components a) to f), with the components including a brewing unit for receiving an ingredient of the beverage and for guiding an incoming flow of liquid, through the ingredient to a beverage outlet; b) an in-line heater for heating the flow of liquid to be supplied to the brewing unit; c) a pump for pumping the liquid through the heater; d) one or more fluid connecting members for guiding the liquid from a source of liquid to the beverage outlet; e) an electric control unit for receiving instructions from a user via an interface and for controlling the heater and pump; and f) one or more electric sensors for sensing at least one operational characteristic of the brewing unit, the heater, the pump, a liquid reservoir, an ingredient collector, a flow of the liquid, a pressure of the liquid and a temperature of the liquid, and for communicating the characteristic(s) to the control unit. Components a) to f) for assembling the beverage machine are connected by pre-assembling at least two or three modules, with each module being fully automatically assembled from at least two of components a) to f), wherein the components of the fully automatically preassembled modules are configured to be automatically seizable, orientable, positionable and fully connectable to each other in one or more automatic assembly steps. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110107920 | PUMP FOR LIQUID BEVERAGE PREPARATION DEVICES - Devices for the preparation of a liquid food or beverage. One device includes a housing, pump, pump support for securing the pump to the housing, a rigid duct that is connected by an elastic sealing member to the housing and to an inlet or outlet of the pump. The pump support includes an elastic support member for resiliently supporting the pump chamber in the housing. Another device includes a pre-suction chamber connected to a liquid inlet of a pump and being designed to intermittently provide liquid to said liquid inlet. A further device includes a connector of at least one elastic sealing member designed to absorb vibrations from a pump of the device and to enable a relative movement of a duct and a liquid inlet or outlet of the pump. | 05-12-2011 |
