Claim Text:
1. An infusion assembly comprising a cup for receiving a container of powdered material; a piston facing an open end of the cup and movable along a first axis to perform a work stroke, to and from the cup, between a withdrawn rest position, in which the piston defines, with the cup, a channel crosswise to the first axis and for passage of the container, and an extracted work position, in which the piston cooperates with the cup to define an infusion chamber for receiving the container and through which pressurized fluid from a fluid source is fed; and stop means located in front of the piston to intercept the container along the channel, and arrest the container in a position coaxial with the first axis; the stop means being movable with the piston to perform a work movement towards the cup; and the cup having a second axis, and being mounted to oscillate, about a third axis perpendicular to the first axis, between a normal unloading position, in which the open end of the cup faces downwards, and a work position, in which the second axis is coaxial with the first axis; and transmission means being interposed between the cup and the piston to swing the cup from the unloading position to the work position, when the piston moves into the extracted work position; wherein the transmission means comprises at least one lever arm integral with the cup and which rotates together with the cup about the third axis; a track formed along the lever arm; and a pin projecting radially from the piston and engaging the track in transversely sliding manner.
