Embodiment Construction

[0074] Such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown schematically in , a beverage machine 30 includes a housing 32 enclosing several components.

[0075] The first part of the machine, indicated at 34, is used to receive the ingredient capsules therein.

[0076] The ingredient capsule 36, also called a cartridge, is shown in the figure in the shape of a container having walls, in particular side walls 36a and a bottom wall 36b.

[0077] The side wall 36a defines at its end opposite the bottom wall an aperture enabling filling of the container with ingredients.

[0078] Such ingredients may be coffee, such as roast and ground coffee.

[0079] However, other ingredients such as substances or products or mixtures of ingredient substances or products suitable for preparing a fluid food by adding water may be accommodated in the container.

[0080] For example, such other ingredients include, in a non-limiting manner, tea, instant tea or instant coffee, a mixture of ground coffee and instan...

Abstract

The invention concerns a beverage machine comprising a casing (32) enclosing: - a first part (34) for receiving an ingredient capsule therein, - a second part (70) having a surface (91) provided with perforating projecting members (90) facing the first part, - an opening (76) in the casing enabling the capsule to be inserted in a direction of insertion (Z) between the first and second parts, the first and second parts being movable relative to each other along a longitudinal axis (X) perpendicular to surface (91) between a first position in which first and second parts are spaced apart so that the ingredient capsule is inserted therebetween and a second position in which first and second parts are close to each other so that the capsule is in contact with the member.; The members (90) are provided in an arrangement on the surface with respect to the opening (76) so as to permanently reduce the risk of trapping of the capsule by the members during the capsule insertion.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a beverage machine using ingredient capsules containing food ingredients or substances for the preparation of beverages or more generally food. Background technique [0002] A machine using ingredient capsules is known eg from WO2005 / 004683. [0003] Figure 1a Such a machine is shown schematically, comprising a housing 10 enclosing: [0004] - a capsule housing 12 for receiving an ingredient capsule 14 therein, and [0005] - Vertical capsule holder 16 . [0006] A channel 18 is provided on the top of the housing to enable the ingredient capsules to be introduced vertically into the interior of the machine. [0007] The capsule housing 12 is movable along the longitudinal horizontal axis X between two positions. In the first position, the capsule housing is spaced apart from the capsule holder, and an ingredient capsule can be introduced between the capsule holder and the capsule holder from above. [0008] More s...
