Problems solved by technology

[0006] These known capsules are rather complex from a constructive point of view, especially considering the realization of the cutting and piercing points and contours on the base
These known capsules are therefore rather expensive especially with regard to the production of the associated moulds.

Embodiment Construction

[0031] In the drawings especially Figure 6 and Figure 8 A capsule for the preparation of an infused or soluble beverage, denoted by reference numeral 1, is shown in .

[0032] The capsule 1 comprises a body or cup 2 adapted to define an internal volume V for containing at least one substance 11, usually in powder or granule form, to be infused or dissolved.

[0033] Cup 2 is made of plastic material, preferably injection molded or thermoformed. For example, the cup is made of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

[0034] Such as figure 1 and figure 2 As shown, the cup 2 is provided on one side with a bottom 3 and on the opposite side with an access opening 21 defined by an outwardly protruding rim 4 .

[0035] The cup 2 is provided, corresponding to the bottom 3, with an outflow opening 31 defined by a spout 32 adapted to allow the infused beverage to flow out.

[0036] The cup 2 is provided, corr...

Abstract

The invention discloses a capsule (1) for the preparation of an infused or soluble beverage comprising a cup (2) adapted to contain a substance to be infused or dissolved (11) and provided with a bottom with an opening (31) (3), the opening is used for the outflow of the brewed beverage. The base (33) is provided with a plurality of reliefs (310, 320, 330, 340, 350, 360) having an upper surface free of cutting or piercing elements. The capsule (1) comprises a disk (5) adapted to seal the capsule (1) underneath, the disk being partly secured to a seat (33) in a releasable manner so as to be at least partially detached due to the increased pressure inside the capsule (1) . Due to the deformation of the disk (5) due to the pressure exerted by the fluid inside the capsule (1), the capsule (1) opens to release the brewed beverage.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a capsule for the preparation of infusion or soluble beverages. Background technique [0002] In particular, the present invention relates to a capsule for the packaging of predetermined and single doses of concentrated products (for example in powder, granule or leaf form) for use by introducing a fluid under pressure (mainly hot water) into the capsule itself Whereas beverages (such as tea, coffee, herbal teas, milk, chocolate, etc.) are prepared on-the-fly. [0003] In the field of capsules or pods for coffee or other infusions, it is known to use automatic or semi-automatic machines equipped with a dispenser group adapted to pass hot water under pressure through precisely Capsules containing the extract to be infused or dissolved to form an infusion. Examples of such known capsule descriptions are described in the previous documents US2010 / 260896, WO2015 / 008309 and US5221028. [0004] A common principle of operat...
