Definitions
- the present invention relates to a capsule for the containment of infusion products in granular, leaf or powder form such as for example coffee, barley, milk powder, tea, chamomile, etc.
- the capsules for infusion products currently available on the market comprise a bowl made of rigid plastic material closed at the top by a perforated cover made of rigid plastic material or by a perforated film. Inside the bowl there is a filter arranged so that it comes into contact with the base wall of the bowl and the infusion product; the base wall of the bowl is also perforated.
- the capsule is inserted in a percolation chamber of a beverage extraction machine, where hot water is delivered under pressure onto the cover and reaches the product contained in the capsule. The water mixes with the product and flows out of the capsule through the holes in the base wall of the bowl; the filter is suitable to trap the powder product.
- the capsules described above have a number of drawbacks.
- the hot water that enters the capsule meets the product absorbs the aromas and immediately flows out of the capsule.
- the water cannot absorb all of the product's aromas and frequently does not even touch some parts of the product. Consequently more product must be placed in the bowl to obtain a good beverage.
- some companies define a longer path for the hot water inside the bowl but this increases the cost of the bowl in that it must be provided with longer water channelling.
- Another drawback in the capsules described above is associated with the fact that the powder product escapes from the capsule through its base wall even before it is used and some infusion product can be found in the package containing the capsules.
- the purpose of the present invention is to produce a capsule for infusion products that overcomes the drawbacks described above.
- a capsule for infusion products is produced of the type comprising a bowl made of plastic material provided with a side wall and a perforated base wall, characterized in that it comprises a disk that is arranged in correspondence with said base wall to define a chamber and is suitable so that its peripheral edge comes into contact with an area of said side wall so that during percolation due to the pressure of the hot water entering said bowl and/or the temperature of the water and/or the pressure exerted on said bowl by the means defining a percolation chamber, after a given time at least one passage is defined between said side wall and said disk towards said chamber and from this towards the outside through holes obtained in said base wall.
- number 1 indicates, as a whole, a capsule for infusion products comprising a truncated cone-shaped bowl 2 defined by a side wall 3 and by a base wall 4 provided with a plurality of holes 5.
- the bowl 1 is made of rigid plastic material suitable for use with food.
- a disk 6 made of plastic material the diameter of which is equal to the inside diameter of an area of the side wall 3 next to the base wall 4.
- the face of the disk 6 facing towards the base wall 4 is provided with an annular crown 7 along which notches 8 are arranged in a radial direction.
- Tabs 9 also originate radially from the crown 7 towards the centre of the disk.
- the crown 7 and the tabs 9 preferably rest on the base wall 4 of the bowl 2 so as to define between the crown 7 and the base wall 4 a chamber 10 as illustrated in figure 2 .
- the bowl 4 is provided with a perforated cover which is not illustrated made either of rigid plastic material or plastic film.
- the capsule 1 is inserted in a percolation chamber (of a known type and not illustrated) of a beverage extraction machine (not illustrated).
- Said percolation chamber is defined by an upper hot water supply element that rests sealingly against the cover of the capsule 1 and by a lower beverage extraction element on which the base wall 4 of the bowl 2 rests sealingly.
- Hot water is delivered under pressure through the cover which is not illustrated into the bowl 2. The water comes into contact with the product contained in the bowl and for the time being does not flow out of the latter due to the seal defined between the peripheral edge of the disk 6 and the side wall 3.
- the side wall 3 Due to the pressure of the hot water and/or the temperature of the water and/or the pressure exerted on the bowl 2 by the elements of the percolation chamber, the side wall 3 is deformed exactly in correspondence with the area in which it comes into contact with the disk 6. Said deformation allows the beverage to flow between the disk 6 and the side wall 3; said beverage flows directly and through the notches 8 into the chamber 10 and from here towards a container beneath which is not illustrated.
- Figure 5 illustrates a second embodiment of the capsule 1 which differs from that illustrated in figures 1 and 2 in that the disk 6 rests on projecting parts 11 defined between the base wall 4 and the side wall 3 of the bowl 2.
- Figure 6 illustrates a third embodiment of the capsule 1 which differs from that illustrated in figures 1 and 2 in that the disk 6 rests on a projecting part 12 which extends upwards from the base wall 4 of the bowl 2.
- Figure 7 illustrates a further embodiment of the capsule 1 which differs from that illustrated in figures 1 and 2 in that the disk 6 is provided with a hole in the centre 13 engaged by a cone-shaped projecting part 14 which extends upwards from the base wall 4 of the bowl 2.
- the disk 6 may not be provided with the crown 7 and the tabs 9.
- the functioning of the percolation chamber is similar to that described with reference to figure 1 .
- the disk 6 is provided with a break-off line 15 along a radius of said disk 6 so that again due to the pressure of the hot water and/or the temperature of the water and/or the pressure exerted on the bowl 2 by the elements of the percolation chamber the disk 6 ruptures along said break-off line 15 and the beverage flows towards the chamber 10 which is defined between the disk 6 and the base wall 4 of the bowl 2.
- the beverage flows out after a given period which is conducive to increased and more effective absorption of the aromas.
- the beverage remains in the bowl 2 above the disk 6 and only after passing, due to the pressure of the hot water and/or the temperature of the water and/or the pressure exerted on the bowl 2 by the elements of the percolation chamber, between the disk 6 and the base wall 4 of the bowl 2, the beverage flows out of the bowl through the holes 5.
- the disk 6 acts as a seal between the infusion product and the holes 5 so that said product does not escape from the bowl 2 prior to use.
- the bowl 2 could have an essentially cylindrical or polygonal shape; in the latter case the development of the perimeter of the disk 6 would be essentially similar to the development of the inside of the bowl 2.
- the crown 7 and the tabs 9 constitute feet via which the disk 6 rests against the wall 4. It is apparent that the disk 6 could be provided with feet of a different shape and development from those described with reference to the attached drawings.
