Definitions
- the present invention lies in the field of devices for preparing drinks by extracting a serving, for example of ground coffee, contained in a cartridge.
- U.S. Pat. No. 2,899,886, U.S. Pat. No. 2,968,560, U.S. Pat. No. 3,403,617 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,607,297 describe devices in which the cartridge is initially perforated at a number of locations and then pressurized water is passed through it.
- the cartridge described in patent CH 605 293 or in patent EP 0 242 556 B1 comprises a membrane in its lower part. Pressurized water is initially introduced into the upper part of the cartridge, thereby causing the cartridge to swell, mainly at the membrane. Beyond a certain pressure, the membrane tears, and thus enables a mixture of water and coffee to flow out.
- the present invention constitutes an improvement over the devices of the prior art. It consists in particular of a mechanism for making it easier to remove the cartridge once it has been used.
- the invention relates firstly to a device for preparing a drink by extracting a serving, for example of ground coffee, contained in a cartridge equipped with an extraction membrane, said device including a water inlet, a cartridge holder, a cartridge cage, clamping means and means for extracting said drink through the membrane, characterized in that the cartridge cage comprises cartridge ejection means.
- the ejection means include a spring.
- the ejection means may comprise elements for piercing the upper face of the cartridge.
- the ejection means have no elements for piercing the cartridge.
- the device includes a clamping piston mounted in a movable manner with respect to the cartridge cage.
- the means for extracting said drink are spikes.
- the spikes are mounted in a movable manner in relation to the cartridge holder.
- the device includes a mechanism for securing the movable spikes to the piston.
- FIG. 1 describes an embodiment of a device according to the invention during the introduction of a cartridge.
- FIG. 2 describes the device from FIG. 1 at rest, after the cartridge holder and cartridge cage assembly has been closed.
- FIG. 3 describes the device from FIG. 1 after the cartridge holder and cartridge cage assembly has been clamped.
- FIG. 4 illustrates the device from FIG. 1 in the active position when water is passing through the device.
- the device illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4 includes a cartridge cage 3 comprising in its upper part a water inlet 5 which is connected to a water tank (not illustrated) and to a pump (not illustrated).
- the cartridge cage 3 is furthermore fastened to an upper unit 15 of the device.
- the device also includes a clamping piston 4 mounted in a sliding manner with respect to the assembly formed by the cartridge cage 3 and the upper unit 15 , an upper spring 16 being located in the space formed between the inner wall of the upper unit 15 and the upper face of the clamping piston 4 .
- the inside of the cage 3 comprises a space intended to hold a cartridge 1 having a flexible membrane 7 in its lower part.
- the lower part 14 of the cage 3 is designed to come into contact with the flange 12 of the cartridge 1 .
- An ejection part 17 is located in the upper part of the cage 3 and mounted in a sliding manner with respect to the latter.
- the lower part of the ejection part 17 comprises spikes 9 intended to pierce the upper face of the cartridge 1 .
- An expansion space 10 is formed between the outer upper face of the cage 3 and the inner upper wall of the clamping piston 4 . The variation in the expansion space 10 will be discussed later in the text.
- a cartridge holder 2 formed mainly of a perforated horizontal plate is located in the lower part of the device.
- a set of spikes 6 that are fixed to a support 8 located under the cartridge holder 2 is mounted in a movable manner in relation to the cartridge holder 2 through the perforations in the latter.
- the device functions as follows:
- a cartridge 1 is initially introduced into the cage 3 ( FIG. 1 ).
- the assembly consisting of the upper unit 15 , the clamping piston 4 and the cage 3 is then lowered and reaches an intermediate position ( FIG. 2 ) which is characterized by contact between the lower end 13 of the clamping piston 4 and the spike support 8 .
- an intermediate position FIG. 2
- the spikes 6 emerge slightly from the cartridge holder 2 but do not pierce the membrane 7 because the latter has a certain flexibility and, moreover, pressurized water has not yet been introduced into the cartridge 1 .
- the assembly consisting of the upper unit 15 , the clamping piston 4 and the cage 3 continues to be lowered until the device is located in a starting position ( FIG. 3 ).
- This latter movement has the effect of moving the spike support 8 and the spikes 6 downward, thereby causing the spikes 6 to retract into the cartridge holder 2 .
- the lower part 14 of the cage 3 butts against the flange 12 of the cartridge 1 , thus ensuring optimal sealing between the cartridge 1 and the inside of the cage 3 .
- Pressurized water is then introduced into the device ( FIG. 4 ). By filling in particular the expansion space 10 , this has the effect of driving the clamping piston 4 upward. At the same time, the water enters the cartridge 1 . This results in an increase in pressure inside the latter and the membrane 7 stretches.
- the upward movement of the clamping piston 4 also drives the spike support 8 upward.
- the spikes 6 emerging through the cartridge holder 2 pierce the membrane 7 .
- the mixture of water with the contents of the cartridge 1 thus flows out through the drink outlet orifice 11 .
- the assembly consisting of the upper unit 15 , the clamping piston 4 and the cage 3 is raised.
- the ejection spring relaxes, thereby driving the ejection part 17 downward. This movement has the effect of making it easier to eject the capsule 1 from the device.
