| 20080236403 | Percolator For Producing A Beverage From Powdered Material In A Container - A percolator, wherein a container, containing a measure of ground coffee, is inserted inside a fixed cup, which has a vertical first axis, is positioned with its concavity facing upwards, and has a lid which rotates, about a second axis crosswise to the first axis, to and from a closed position closing the cup; the lid having a pressurized-hot-water sprinkler which, when the lid is in the closed position, is moved, by a piston carried by the lid, onto the cup to define, with the cup, a percolating chamber for housing the wafer and a bolt device to lock the lid in the closed position. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080250936 | Machine for Percolating Beverage from Powdered Material in a Container - A machine for percolating a beverage from powdered material in a container, the machine being substantially vertical, and having a pressurized-hot-water dispensing assembly movable to and from an engaged position connected in fluidtight manner to a percolating assembly, which houses a container and is defined by a rotor rotating about a substantially horizontal, fixed axis of rotation, and having a number of peripheral percolating cups, each of which can be set selectively to an infusion position, in which the cup is positioned upwards facing the dispensing assembly, by rotating the rotor in response to the dispensing assembly withdrawing from the engaged position connected to the percolating assembly. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20080295700 | Coffee Percolator - A coffee percolator having a vertical axis, and wherein a pressurized-hot-water dispensing assembly has a bottom outlet facing a top surface of a fixed annular body supporting a percolating cup, which engages the annular body removably and is connected to the annular body by a bayonet joint defined partly by at least one sloping surface formed on the top surface of the annular body. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090007794 | Percolator Machine for Making a Beverage - A percolator machine for making a beverage from a powdered material housed inside a container, wherein a gripper device is interposed between a pressurized hot water dispenser unit and a thrust unit, aligned with each other along a first axis, to define a first seat coaxial with the first axis; and wherein the thrust unit compresses in fluidtight manner against the dispenser unit a container housed inside the first seat; and the gripper device is independent of the thrust unit, and has two jaws mounted to oscillate, about respective second axes located above the first axis and parallel to each other and to the first axis, to and from a closed position, in which the two jaws define the first, and a second seat located between the second axes and above the first seat to receive a further container. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090035438 | METHOD OF MAKING A BEVERAGE FROM POWDERED MATERIAL IN A SEALED CAPSULE - In a coffee machine, a sealed capsule is fed with a certain amount of axial clearance into a cup aligned along a horizontal axis with a pressurized-hot-water sprinkler, and is moved towards the sprinkler to press an annular flange of the sealed capsule in fluidtight manner against the sprinkler, to pierce a front sealing wall of the sealed capsule by means of a first piercing device, to feed pressurized hot water through the sealing wall to expand the sealed capsule axially and eliminate the axial clearance, and to bring an end wall of the sealed capsule into fluidtight contact with a second piercing device, and pierce the end wall against the second piercing device, so that coffee flows out through the second piercing device. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090130270 | INFUSION METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SELECTIVELY PRODUCING 'AMERICAN' AND 'ESPRESSO' COFFEE FROM THE SAME CAPSULE OF GROUND COFFEE - A coffee percolator whereby “American” and “espresso” coffee are selectively produced from the same capsule of ground coffee by adjusting the degree of compaction of the ground coffee in the capsule as a function of the type of coffee selected. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090205503 | Percolating Machine for Making a Beverage - A percolating machine for making a beverage from powdered material in a container, the machine having a pressurized-hot-water dispenser having a sprinkler; and a thrust member having a seat for at least partly housing the container; the dispenser and the thrust member are aligned along an axis, are both movable along the axis to and from an infusion position, and are connected by a transmission so that movement of the thrust member along the axis in one direction corresponds to movement of the dispenser along the axis in the opposite direction. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090211457 | BEVERAGE PERCOLATOR - A beverage percolating machine having an outer body or casing housing a rotor, which is fitted removably to a shaft to rotate in steps about a substantially horizontal, fixed axis of rotation, and has a number of peripheral percolating cups, each for receiving a respective measure of powdered material; the outer casing has a door facing the rotor to permit access to and, if necessary, removal and/or maintenance of the rotor. | 08-27-2009 |
