Embodiment Construction

[0060]figure 1 Illustrated is a container 3 used in the present invention for storing a flowable powder and capable of filling the machine. It comprises a barrel 31 , here a rigid barrel with a closed end 34 and an open end 35 . The container 3 includes a hopper 32 positioned within the cartridge volume and near the open end 35 of the cartridge 31 . The hopper extends over the entire barrel section and tapers to a discharge outlet 36 facing the open end 35 of the barrel. The hopper is attached to a circular skirt or outer flange 38 of the same form as the inner wall of the barrel 31 . This skirt fits within the barrel 31 and helps position the hopper within the barrel. The skirt has a stop edge 39 which rests on the open end edge of the barrel and prevents the hopper from sliding along the barrel wall. Since the hopper is positioned within the barrel volume with its discharge outlet facing the open end of the barrel, a groove G extends between the tapered wall of the hopper...

Abstract

The invention concerns a container holding assembly (1) configured and adapted to connect a container (3) adapted for storing and unloading a powder material to a machine, said container (13) comprising: (a) a vessel (31) presenting a closed end (34) and an opened end (35), (b) a hopper (32) placed inside the vessel (31) and tapering to a discharge outlet in direction of the vessel opened end, (c) a tearable membrane (33) closing the hopper and the vessel and a corresponding receiving assembly (2) of the machine configured and adapted to receive the container holding assembly (1).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for securing a disposable powder canister to a machine for handling powders dispensed from the canister. Background technique [0002] WO 2009 / 000810 describes a container for storing and unloading powdered material comprising: [0003] - a cartridge having a closed end and an open end, [0004] - a hopper arranged inside the barrel and tapering in the direction of the open end of the barrel to a discharge outlet, [0005] - A tearable membrane closing the hopper and the barrel. [0006] This container can be used for filling cans of machines, in particular machines producing beverages by diluting the powder stored in the container. The vessel can also be used as an expansion tank / expansion vessel for the machine. In fact, if the machine has a small internal tank or no tank at all, the container can be placed in the machine and provide the function of a tank or expansion tank above the machine. [0007] It has bee...
