Embodiment Construction

[0017] figure 1 A first component part of a container for beverage powder, for example for coffee or lemon slice powder, is shown, which container consists of four parts in total. Said first component part forms a conical wall 1 of a cup-shaped container comprising a protruding edge 2 on the upper side and an inwardly protruding edge 3 on the lower side. The components are usually thermoformed from laminated plastics having a barrier function which ensure the required gas-tightness. A projection is preferably provided on the protruding edges 2 , 3 in each case to serve as an energy direction sensor ERG for the subsequent welding of the sealing film to the upper edge 2 and the labyrinth plate to the lower edge 3 . When the filling does not need to be air-tight, that is to say absolutely oxygen-tight, the cup can also be made as a one-piece injection molded part together with the cup bottom. Obviously the bottom of the cup is exactly the labyrinth board 4 in this case. In thi...

Abstract

The labyrinth capsule consists of a cup-shaped capsule (1), the capsule base of which is formed from a labyrinth plate (4) having a labyrinth structure and puncturing pins (14) on its upper side. A hole (10) with a central round stud (12) is located in the labyrinth plate center (5). A sealing film (7) is placed on the labyrinth plate (4) and is welded along its edge to the edge of the labyrinth plate (4). The capsule (1) is sealed on its upper edge (2) with a closure film, thereby closing in the filling. When liquid presses in through the closure film, the sealing film (7) is pressed against the labyrinth plate (4). The puncturing pins (14) puncture the sealing film (7). The liquid flows through the puncture holes and, thereafter, to the lower side of the labyrinth plate (4), to the labyrinth, and drains out between the labyrinth ridges (5). Finally, a laminar liquid stream is formed from the round stud (12) in the spout hole (10).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a labyrinth container containing powder for the preparation of beverages. The container is mainly used for preparation when using the coffee machine. But the container can also hold other powders, such as lemon slice powder, powder for preparing juice or tea, etc. The function of the container is to temporarily store these powders and then prepare a beverage of good quality instantly with the coffee machine. To do this, hot or cold water is forced through the container under pressure, from which a discharge jet that flows as laminarly as possible and that flows not too quickly in order to avoid spraying is formed from the container. Furthermore, inside the container, the water is thoroughly mixed with the powder so that the powder is completely dissolved in the passing water. Background technique [0002] Conventional containers consist of small thermoformed plastic cups with the bottom curved outwards and the center...
