Abstract:
1. Module for the preparation of a beverage from a capsule comprising: a first extraction sub-assembly and a second extraction sub-assembly that can move against the first sub-assembly so as to form, in a closed position, an extraction chamber for enclosing the capsule in a closure plane and, in an open position, maintain an opening space between the two sub-assemblies to allow the capsule to be inserted between the two sub-assemblies, an assembly for holding and positioning the capsule between the two sub-assemblies, the assembly comprising a single component able to hold the capsule in a centered position in the opening space along several axis in the closure plane and being mounted coaxially relative to the second, movable sub-assembly, displaceable linearly along the same axis as the second, movable sub-assembly, and capable of being pushed back by the second, movable sub-assembly into a retracted position, allowing the two sub-assemblies to close around the capsule.
