| 20090047389 | BEVERAGE-INGREDIENT CAPSULE AND CAPSULE-BASED BEVERAGE PRODUCTION METHOD - A sealed capsule for containing an ingredient is provided with at least one essentially rigid inner jet direction-diverting member being arranged close to the inner side of a face of the capsule. The inner jet direction-diverting member is designed to divert the direction of at least a portion of a water jet injected through an opening produced in the face. The invention further proposes the dynamical profiling of inner channels in at least one face of the capsule by pressing the face of the capsule against a profiling member of the beverage production device. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090211458 | CAPSULE FOR PREPARING AND DELIVERING A DRINK BY INJECTING A PRESSURIZED FLUID INTO THE CAPSULE - The invention relates to a capsule for delivering a drink by injecting a pressurized fluid comprising a body ( | 08-27-2009 |
| 20100071563 | CAP EXTRACTION DEVICE - The invention relates to a device for extracting a cap ( | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100083843 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREPARING A LIQUID BEVERAGE FROM A CARTRIDGE - A system and device for preparing a liquid beverage from a cartridge. The device includes a supply unit for supplying an injection fluid into the cartridge, a cartridge holder configured to accept and support the cartridge with the cartridge holder being detachable from the device. A complementary insertion mechanism of the device is configured to receive the cartridge holder in the device. The cartridge is positioned in the supply unit in an injection position with its injection surface substantially in an inclined plane relative to the horizontal plane and the injection mechanism is offset from the highest edge of the cartridge. The cartridge holder preferably comprises a linear wedge-shaped insertion member having a bearing surface inclined along an angle. The method of operation of the system and device are also disclosed. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100107889 | DEVICE FOR PREPARING A LIQUID BEVERAGE FROM A CARTRIDGE - Device for preparing a liquid beverage from a cartridge, comprising a supply unit ( | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100173053 | CAP EXTRACTION DEVICE - The invention relates to a device for extracting a cap ( | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100260908 | METHOD OF IMPROVING THE PRODUCTION OF FOAM DURING THE PREPARATION OF DRINKS FROM A CARTRIDGE AND DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION - Method of obtaining a frothy drink from a cartridge, the said cartridge being made up of at least one chamber containing at least a preparation for a drink. The method comprises injecting into the said cartridge a predetermined volume of fluid, a first part of which essentially consists of air which is compressed in the cartridge to a pressure lower than the pressure at which the cartridge opens or the drink flows freely through the said cartridge and a second part of which consists of water, or possibly of a mixture of air and water, which is injected after the first part into the cartridge so as to make it possible to obtain the drink by causing the internal pressure to increase until the cartridge opens or the drink flows freely through the cartridge thus allowing the drink to be discharged and froth to be formed. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20100263546 | SYSTEM FOR PREPARING A BEVERAGE FROM INGREDIENTS SUPPORTED BY AN ENCODED INSERT - The invention proposes a device for preparing a beverage from a food substance contained in a capsule ( | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100269706 | DEVICE FOR PREPARING A BEVERAGE WITH REMOVABLE INJECTION MEMBER - The invention proposes a device for preparing a beverage from a food substance contained in a capsule by injection of a liquid into the capsule provided to the device, said device comprising an extraction head ( | 10-28-2010 |
| 20100275787 | DEVICE FOR PREPARING A BEVERAGE COMPRISING AN ADJUSTABLE CLOSING MECHANISM - The present invention proposes a device ( | 11-04-2010 |
| 20100282091 | CAPSULE WITH REDUCED DRIPPING - The invention relates to a capsule containing ingredients for producing a beverage, wherein the ingredients are housed in a compartment and an internal perforation mechanism is provided for opening the lower face of the compartment by using pressure inside the compartment to cause the lower face to act against the perforation member to allow the beverage to exit the capsule through a beverage outlet. The capsule is provided with a valve arranged for selectively blocking the flow path of the beverage to the beverage outlet of the capsule to prevent dripping of the beverage from the compartment after dispensing. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100300300 | CONTROL DEVICE HAVING A PERISTALTIC VALVE FOR A DRINK PREPARING MACHINE - A drink preparing machine that includes a tank, a water supply system having at least a section for heated water and a section for unheated water, a pump for conveying water from the tank through the supply system as far as a module for preparing the drink, and a valve device arranged so as to control the selective opening and closing of the supply system sections. The valve device is a peristaltic system that includes a compression member for compressing a tube of each supply system section and acting under the effect of an elastic return member. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20110052773 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PREPARING A DRINK FROM A FOOD SUBSTANCE CONTAINED IN A CAPSULE - The invention relates to a method of wetting and/or dissolving a substance contained in a capsule for producing a beverage consisting, by means of a piercing and injection element, in piercing the capsule and injecting a liquid under pressure into the capsule to wet and/or dissolve the substance; the piercing and injection element being arranged so as to inject the liquid into the capsule in the form of at least one thin layer extending in a continuous, divergent and multidirectional manner, covering a spray surface in an arc of a circle inside the capsule. The invention also relates to a device comprising a flow channel and a valve designed to close off the channel in a first position, called the rest position, and to open under the effect of the pressure from the liquid against an elastic element so as to free a passage as a function of the pressure and thus create the thin layer of liquid. | 03-03-2011 |
