20090199518 | MEANS FOR PENETRATING A PORTION PACKAGING CONTAINING AN EXTRACTION PRODUCT, DEVICE FOR EXTRACTING THE EXTRACTION PRODUCT CONTAINED IN THE PORTION PACKAGING, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE MEANS - Disclosed is a means for penetrating portion packaging, especially a capsule ( | 08-13-2009 |
20100282088 | DEVICE FOR BREWING A BEVERAGE - A device for brewing a beverage, such as for example a coffee machine, has a brewing chamber for receiving a substance to be brewed or a portion pack containing this substance. The device is also provided with an electric pump for passing liquid through the brewing chamber and with a heat-insulated electric flow heater for heating up the liquid. After a predeterminable time following the end of a brewing operation or following the actuation of an operating element has elapsed, the device can be switched over by an electrical switching module into a very energy-efficient standby mode, in which at least the flow heater, and preferably also other loads, do not consume any electrical energy and are turned off. | 11-11-2010 |
20110097463 | DEVICE AND ARRANGEMENT FOR PREPARING A LIQUID FOODSTUFF OR SEMI-LUXURY PRODUCT AND PORTIONED PACKAGING - A device for preparing a liquid foodstuff or semi-luxury product from an extraction product contained in a capsule with a liquid extractant comprises a positioning unit, which can be positioned by applying pressure onto a collar of the capsule in an insertion position between two chamber parts that are spaced from one another in an open position. The positioning unit is designed such that when the chamber parts are moved from the open position to the closed position, the positioning unit acts on the collar in such a way that the collar can be released from the insertion position of the positioning unit by bending or turning the collar down. | 04-28-2011 |
20120090473 | DEVICE FOR DISCHARGING AN EXTRACTION PRODUCT OUT OF A PORTION PACKAGING; PUNCTURING DEVICE AND EXTRACTION APPARATUS - A discharge device is provided including a supporting surface to rest against a surface region of a capsule as well as at least one perforating element protruding from said supporting surface, wherein a screen element is provided in the supporting surface having a plurality of screen perforations through which the extraction product can be discharged, the extraction product escaping out of the capsule through one of the openings created by the perforating element. | 04-19-2012 |
20120090475 | CAPSULE FOR AN EXTRACTION PRODUCT, METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF, AND DEVICE FOR BREWING COFFEE - A capsule to form a closed interior filled with an extraction product or extract can be perforated in a known manner by perforation elements of an injection device or a discharge device in order to introduce an extraction liquid and to discharge an extraction product produced in the interior of the capsule following an extraction process. The capsule has the shape of a cuboid or a die. | 04-19-2012 |
20130055903 | CAPSULE FOR AN EXTRACTION MATERIAL, METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE CAPSULE, AND DEVICE FOR BREWING COFFEE - A coffee capsule is provided, the outer dimensions of which are matched to the size of a filtered-coffee capsule, but which has a separating element that separates an empty area from an extraction-material area. Furthermore, at least one liquid channel is provided, which passes through the empty area for example. The liquid channel or liquid channels and the extraction-material area are designed in such a way that water introduced into the capsule at an injection location or a beverage produced in the capsule substantially does not enter the empty area. | 03-07-2013 |
20130220138 | EXTRACTION DEVICE AND SEALING SYSTEM - An extraction apparatus includes a brewing module for receiving a capsule with an extraction material. The brewing module includes a first brewing module part and a second brewing module part, the second brewing part being movable relative to the first brewing part. The first and the second brewing module parts form a discharge device for the discharge of an extraction product out of the capsule, and an introduction device for introducing an extraction fluid into the capsule. A sealing system for such an extraction apparatus includes a seal having at least one circumferential sealing lip and/or one circumferential sealing bead, which bears on a surface of the capsule in a line-like or strip-like manner and presses the capsule wall against the capsule interior. | 08-29-2013 |
20140348994 | BREWING MODULE - A brewing module includes a support element, a first brewing module part and a second brewing module part that can be moved relative to the first brewing module part. The first brewing module part and the second brewing module part have a discharging device for discharging an extraction product from a capsule and an injector for introducing an extraction liquid into the capsule. In a supporting position with the brewing chamber open, the support element catches a capsule inserted via a defined insertion position, such that the capsule lies on the support element and on a support part of the first brewing module part after insertion. By closing the brewing chamber, the support element is moved away from the supporting position into a resting position, wherein the capsule is simultaneously held by a gripping element of the first brewing module part and/or of the second brewing module part. | 11-27-2014 |
20150056351 | METHOD AND PREPARATION SYSTEM FOR PREPARING A BREWED PRODUCT - A brewing method including the steps of providing a capsule, introducing the capsule into a brewing module with an injector for introducing a brewing liquid into the capsule and a discharging device for discharging a brewed product, closing a brewing chamber of the brewing module so that at least one injection-side perforation element of the injector pierces a capsule injection-side covering surface along a cutting line, introducing under pressure a brewing liquid into the region between a capsule injection-side supporting surface and a capsule injection-side covering surface such that the liquid pressure causes a capsule extraction-side covering surface to be displaced towards the capsule interior while an encompassing capsule seal holds a circumferential lateral surface of the capsule, and brewing liquid enters the capsule interior, and maintaining the pressure on the brewing liquid at least until the brewed product emerges from discharge openings produced in capsule extraction-side covering surface. | 02-26-2015 |
