Embodiment Construction

[0049] figure 1 A cup support 1 according to the invention is shown in which a suitable cup 2 can be mounted. The cup holder 1 can hold the cup 2 in the cup holding space 7 . The cup 2 preferably has a flange 3 or special formation formed on its bottom which fits into the cup holding space 7 . This means that if the cup 2 is placed centrally on the cup support 1 , the flange 3 or structure fits into the cup holding space. A circumferential / annular flange 3 is an example, which would fit in a circular cup holding space 7 . However, other structures formed on the bottom of the cup 2 and fitted into the cup holding space 7 of the cup support body 1 are also conceivable.

[0050] The cup support 1 comprises a base 4 adapted to hold and support the cup 2 from below. The base 4 has an upper surface on which the cup 2 is placed, preferably in a central arrangement. In this way, the base 4 bears the weight of the cup 2 . Substrate 4 can have as figure 1 Circular structures show...

Abstract

The present invention discloses a cup support and a dispensing device that uses a cup support. The cup support is adapted to hold at least cups of two different diameters and sizes. The cup support and the dispensing device are adapted to detect the diameter and size of the cup, and enable that when a diluent jet is injected into the cup, the jet is oriented to impact onto a predetermined position on a sidewall of the cup. The orientation of the jet achieves an effective dissolution of food ingredient in the cup by the injected diluent. The dispensing device is designed to move the cup support in a horizontal and vertical direction, to rotate the cup support. The cup support is not directly actuated, but is fitted into movable and rotatable holding means, from which it can be easily dismantled to be cleaned. The cup support comprises a plug element comprising one protrusion. The dispensing device comprises a motor for vertically moving the cup support or the injection means.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a cup support for holding a cup and a dispensing device with the cup support. In particular, the cup support of the present invention has a simple mechanical structure, can be easily detached from the dispensing device for cleaning, and can be held securely and in such a way that the dispensing device can effectively dissolve the food ingredients / ingredients in the cup. mug. Background technique [0002] Some existing dispensing devices mix a food ingredient, such as a soluble powder or concentrate, with a diluent, such as water or milk, directly in the drinking cup rather than in a mixing chamber. In such dispensing devices, the food ingredients are usually first metered by the metering / dosing device and then delivered into the drinking cup. If the dispensing device can dispense different kinds of beverages or liquid food mixtures, it can be adapted to move the drinking cup under the container of the desired food ingredient,...
