20100236417 | APPARATUS FOR THE PREPARATION AND DISPENSING OF INFUSIONS, PARTICULARLY COFFEE, IN VARIABLE VOLUMETRIC DOSES - An apparatus for the preparation and dispensing of doses, in selectable variable volumes, of infusions, particularly of coffee, by means of pressurised water, comprising a cylindrical infusion chamber provided with a closed end and an opposed open end, a piston with an end axially insertable into said infusion chamber via said open end and removable therefrom, water feeding element for feeding a predetermined quantity of pressurised water into said chamber and for opening into the latter in the zone comprised between the end of the piston inserted into the chamber and the closed end of the chamber. The apparatus further comprises a powdered product feeding device for feeding a predetermined quantity of powdered product into said infusion chamber to form the infusion in an amount proportional to the volume selected for the dose of infusion to be prepared and displacement elements for displacing said infusion chamber between the position in which a defined quantity of powdered coffee is introduced and the position in which said piston is inserted and withdrawn via said open end and vice versa, at least one opening in said chamber for dispensing the prepared infusion. In a main aspect of the present invention, the apparatus includes an expulsion device for expelling from said infusion chamber the quantity of exhausted product used for the infusion at the end of preparation thereof, a drive device for actuating said piston within said cylindrical infusion chamber and outside it, a guide element for the piston, said drive device comprising an electric motor, a connecting-rod-and-crank mechanism in which the crank is connected to the rotation shaft of the motor and the connecting rod is connected between the end of the crank and the end of the piston which remains outside said cylindrical infusion chamber, and also a control unit for controlling the drive device and the water feeding element into said infusion chamber. The motor is reversible in its direction of rotation. | 09-23-2010 |
20100236418 | APPARATUS FOR PREPARATION AND DISPENSING OF INFUSIONS, PARTICULARLY COFFEE, IN VARIABLE VALUMETRIC DOSES - The present invention relates to an apparatus for the preparation and dispensing of doses, in selectable variable volumes, of infusions, particularly of coffee, by means of pressurised water, comprising an infusion chamber provided with a closed end and an opposed open end, a piston with an end axially insertable into said infusion chamber via said open end and removable therefrom, a water feeding element for feeding a predetermined quantity of pressurised water into said chamber and opening into the chamber in the zone comprised between the end of the piston inserted into the chamber and the closed end of the chamber, and a powdered product feeding device for feeding into said infusion chamber a predetermined quantity of powdered product from which to form the infusion in an amount proportional to the volume selected for the dose of infusion to be prepared. | 09-23-2010 |

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 |
