Embodiment Construction

[0097] refer to figure 1 , the capsule 1 of the present invention is planned to be placed at a predetermined position and distance to be magnetically influenced by the magnetic detection device 2 or sensor. The magnetic detection device 2 or sensor is preferably positioned in the beverage production device (not shown) and is activated when the capsule reaches the detection operating position. The detection operation position will be explained later. The sensor provides a signal to an analyzer (not shown) associated with the sensor, which may be placed remotely from the sensor in the beverage production device.

[0098] The capsule container may be symmetrically formed by the first wall 3A and the opposite wall 3B. The two walls can be liquid-permeable or liquid-impermeable. If liquid-tight, the two walls 3A, 3B will be opened, such as by perforations, before or during use in the beverage production device. The walls may also be gas impermeable - when there is a gas barrier...

Abstract

Capsule (1) for the preparation of a beverage comprising: a first and second covering walls (3 A, 3B) connected at a peripheral seam (4) for forming a cavity (5) containing a beverage ingredient (6); a contactless element (8) for identifying the capsule by detecting means (2) of a beverage producing device (13); wherein the identifying element (8) is oriented along its longer dimension substantially orthogonally relative to the transversal plane (P) passing along the seam (4) of the capsule.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a capsule for beverage preparation, such as in a beverage production machine, eg a coffee machine. The invention relates more particularly to a capsule comprising an identification element for enabling detection of the insertion of the capsule in a beverage production machine. The invention also relates to a beverage production device adapted to accommodate the capsule and to the combination of the two as a system. Background technique [0002] Beverage production systems have been studied for many years based on portioned beverages, in particular capsules containing predetermined doses of beverage ingredients such as coffee, tea, milk powder and the like. A number of advantages of such systems are widely recognized, in particular their ease of use, clean operation, better quality of control of the delivered brew (brew) beverage. [0003] The term "capsule" is used herein to denote a sachet, casing or box or the like....
