This application is a continuation of International Patent Application No. PCT/NL2009/050825, filed Dec. 30, 2009, which claims priority to European Patent Application Nos. 09162914.7, filed Jun. 17, 2009; 09162895.8, filed Jun. 17, 2009; 09162931.1, filed Jun. 17, 2009; 09163310.7, filed Jun. 19, 2009; 09167851.6, filed Aug. 13, 2009; and 09170590.5, filed Sep. 17, 2009. All of these applications are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention aims to improve the capsule. Particularly, the invention aims to provide a capsule that can also solve or alleviate abovementioned problems, wherein the capsule can be produced in an efficient, economical manner.
Advantageously, at least an external surface of the sealing member comprises a fibrous and/or paperlike material to achieve the sealing effect.
In this way, the capsule can be manufactured efficiently, using a relatively small number of processing steps, and preferably with relatively inexpensive and easy processable material (compared to known sealing materials). The fibrous and/or paperlike material to achieve the sealing effect can be configured in various advantageous ways, some of which will be described below with reference to the drawings. Preferably, the material is paper. Alternatively, the material can be a textile or fabric, for example a woven fabric or a non-woven fabric.
Aspects of the invention also relate to a system and method, that utilize at least one capsule according to the invention.
Advantageously, there is provided a system for preparing a predetermined quantity of beverage suitable for consumption using an extractable product, comprising: an exchangeable capsule, and an apparatus comprising a fluid dispensing device for supplying an amount of a fluid, such as water, under pressure (for example a pressure of at least six bar) to the exchangeable capsule, and a receptacle for holding the exchangeable capsule, wherein the exchangeable capsule comprises a circumferential first wall, a second wall closing the circumferential first wall at a first end, and a third wall closing the circumferential first wall at a second, open, end opposite the second wall, the first, second and third wall enclosing an inner space comprising the beverage ingredients, wherein the capsule comprises a sealing member for achieving a sealing effect between the capsule and the beverage production device, wherein the system is characterized in that the sealing member is made of a fibrous and/or paperlike material.
Also, advantageously, there is provided a method for preparing a predetermined quantity of beverage suitable for consumption using an extractable product, comprising: providing an exchangeable capsule; providing an apparatus comprising a receptacle for holding the exchangeable capsule; arranging the exchangeable capsule in abutment with a support surface of the receptacle, wherein a fibrous and/or paperlike part of the capsule acts as a sealing member to achieve a substantially fluid tight seal between the capsule and the beverage production device; and supplying fluid under the pressure to the extractable product for preparing the beverage.
The invention will now be further elucidated by means of non-limiting, examples referring to the drawing, in which:
FIGS. 3 a-3 d show embodiments of capsules;
FIGS. 4 show an example of a capsule according to a first embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 5 shows a detail Q of FIG. 4;
FIG. 6A shows a similar detail as FIG. 5, of an alternative embodiment;
FIG. 6B shows an alternative of the embodiment of FIG. 6A;
FIG. 7 shows a similar detail as FIG. 5, of yet another alternative embodiment; and
FIG. 8 shows a similar detail as FIG. 5, of another alternative example.
FIG. 1 shows a system 101 for preparing a predetermined quantity of beverage suitable for consumption using an extractable product. The system 101 comprises an exchangeable first capsule 102, and an apparatus 104. In the present example, the apparatus 104 comprises a receptacle 106 for holding the exchangeable capsule 102. In FIG. 1 a gap is drawn between the capsule 102 and the receptacle 106 for clarity. It will be appreciated that, in use, the capsule 102 may lie in contact with the receptacle 106. Commonly, the receptacle 106 may have a shape complementary to the shape of the capsule 102. The apparatus 104 further comprises a fluid dispensing device 108 for supplying an amount of a fluid, for example water, under or building up to a pressure, of e.g. 6 bars, for example 9 bars, to the exchangeable capsule 102.
The system 101 of FIGS. 1 comprises bottom piercing means 122 intended for piercing the capsule 102. FIG. 1 shows the bottom piercing means 122 in a retracted position. When the bottom piercing means 122 is in an extended position (not shown), it may create an entrance opening in the bottom 112 of the capsule for supplying the fluid to the extractable product through the entrance opening. For example, the piercing means 122 may comprise a bore 126 through which the fluid can be supplied to the capsule. The system 101 of FIGS. 1 further comprises lid piercing means 128, here embodied as protrusions, intended for piercing the lid 116 of the capsule 102. For example, the lid piercing means 128 can be part of a capsule holder 190 (see FIGS. 1-2).
The system 101 shown in FIGS. 1 may be operated as follows for preparing a cup of coffee, wherein the extractable product is roasted and ground coffee (see also the content of EP1700548). During operation, the capsule 102 is placed in the receptacle 106 (see FIG. 1). The receptacle 106 and capsule holder 190 may hold the capsule 102 there-between. Particularly, the receptacle 106 and capsule holder 190 may be movable towards each other, to a capsule holding state, to hold the capsule there-between, and away from each other to release a used capsule and to receive a fresh capsule.
The system 1 of FIG. 2 may comprise bottom piercing means 122 intended for piercing a capsule 102 as shown in FIGS. 1. FIG. 2 shows the bottom piercing means in an extended position, intended for creating the entrance opening 124 in the bottom 112 of the first capsule 102. According to an embodiment, the capsule 2 may comprise an entrance filter 34 (see FIGS. 3 a-3 d) which is positioned at a distance from the bottom piercing means 12, such that the capsule 2 is not pierced by the bottom piercing means 122 and the bottom 12 stays intact when the bottom piercing means is brought in the extended position.
FIGS. 3 a-3 d show non-limiting further embodiments of the capsule 2.
In FIG. 3 a the bottom 12 is integral with the circumferential wall 10 like in FIG. 2. The entrance filter 34 is formed by the plurality of entrance openings 24 in the bottom 12. The exit filter 36 is formed by a foil 40, e.g. a flexible polymeric foil, provided with a plurality of exit openings 30.
In FIG. 3 b the exit filter 36 is formed by the flexible porous sheet, such as filter paper, like in FIG. 2. In FIG. 3 b the entrance filter 34 is also formed by a flexible porous sheet, such as filter paper. In this example the entrance filter is attached to an inwardly extending rim 42. In this example, the entrance filter 34 is attached to the inner side of the inwardly extending rim 42. This maximizes the internal volume of the capsule 2, as the rim thickness is not present in the inner space 20 of the capsule 2.
In FIG. 3 c the exit filter 36 is formed by the flexible porous sheet, such as filter paper, like in FIGS. 2 and 3 b. In FIG. 3 c the entrance filter 34 is also formed by a flexible porous sheet, such as filter paper. In this example, the entrance filter 34 is attached to the outer side of the inwardly extending rim 42. Hence, the risk is reduced that the fluid under pressure tears the entrance filter 34 from the inwardly extending rim 42. It is possible that the entrance filter 34 overhangs a circumferential edge of the bottom. Hence, a larger surface area is available for attaching the entrance filter 34 to the bottom 12 and the circumferential wall 10, resulting in a stronger bond.
In FIG. 3 d the exit filter 36 is formed by a foil 40, e.g. a flexible polymeric foil, provided with a plurality of exit openings 30, as in FIG. 3 a. In FIG. 3 d the entrance filter 34 is also formed by a foil 44, provided with the plurality of entrance openings 24.
In all embodiments of FIGS. 3 a-3 d the exit filter is formed by a flexible sheet-shaped material. More specifically, in all embodiments of FIGS. 3 a-3 d the lid is solely formed by the flexible sheet-shaped material. It has been found that in general no supporting structure, such as a substantially rigid grid, e.g. downstream of the exit foil, is required to support the exit foil to prevent the exit foil from tearing an/or rupturing.
In all embodiments of FIGS. 3 b-3 d the entrance filter is formed by a flexible sheet-shaped material. More specifically, in all embodiments of FIGS. 3 b-3 d the entrance area is solely formed by the flexible sheet-shaped material. It has been found that in general no supporting structure, such as a substantially rigid grid, e.g. downstream of the entrance foil, is required to support the entrance foil to prevent the entrance foil from tearing an/or rupturing.
In all embodiments of FIGS. 3 a-3 d the exit filter forms the outermost boundary of the capsule in the axial direction thereof
In the examples of FIGS. 2, 3 a-3 d the entrance openings 24 and exit openings 30 have a circular cross section. The openings 24, 30 with circular cross section are easily manufactured. Optionally the cross section of the entrance openings 24 tapers (narrows) towards the inner space 20. This provides the advantage that the entrance openings act as nozzles that cause a jet of fluid to enter the inner space 20.
According to a further embodiment (which further embodiment may be a further elaboration of an above-mentioned embodiment, for example of an embodiment of any of FIGS. 1, 2, 3 a, 3 b, 3 c, 3 d), the capsule 2, 102 comprises a sealing member for achieving a sealing effect between the capsule 2, 102 and the beverage production device 104. To this aim, advantageously, at least an external surface of the sealing member comprises a fibrous and/or paperlike material to achieve the sealing effect. In this way, a surprisingly efficient, reliable, cost-effective and environmentally friendly sealing means can be provided.
For example, the external surface comprising the fibrous and/or paperlike material can be a surface, which is pressed against an opposite surface of the apparatus 104, for example an internal surface of the receptacle 106 (see FIGS. 1-2) during operation.
In a further embodiment, the sealing effect can assure that during operation (when the apparatus supplies fluid under the pressure to the extractable product in the capsule, for preparing the beverage), the only water flow is actually taking place through the interior of the capsule. For example, the sealing effect may be achieved between an annular member and a capsule holder, as in EP 1700548.
A further example 202 of the capsule is shown in FIGS. 4-5, FIG. 5 depicting the detail Q of FIG. 4. The capsule 202 can be similar as the capsule shown in any of FIGS. 1-3, and further comprises a sealing member 216B consisting of a fibrous and/or paperlike material. As a further example, the sealing member 216B can consist of paper, for example filter paper, or carton (for example paperboard material). Alternatively, the sealing member 216B can be made of a textile material, for example a woven or nonwoven fabric, containing for example natural and/or plastic fabric fibers. In an embodiment, the sealing member 216B can be made of a non-porous material. Alternatively, the sealing member 216B can be porous. For example, the fibrous and/or paperlike sealing member 216B can be configured to absorb water during operation. Particularly, the fibrous and/or paperlike sealing member 216B can have an open structure, to absorb water.
Moreover, the sealing material of the sealing member 216B can be provided with a water repellent substance, for example poly-tetra-fluor-ethene (Teflon™) or a different water repellent substance. As an example, part of the sealing member 216B (for example a ring-shaped part) may contain a barrier of the water repellent substance, to suppress radial water leakage (of water absorbed in the sealing member) through the sealing member 216B. A ring-shaped barrier of a water repellent substance can be located, for example, at or near a radial perimeter of the sealing member 216B.
Also, according to a further embodiment, the sealing member 216B may be compressible during operation. For example, compression of a compressible sealing member can be achieved when the capsule 202 is held in the apparatus and when the receptacle 106 and capsule holder 190 have been moved towards each other and hold the capsule there-between.
In the present embodiment, the fibrous and/or paperlike sealing part 216B as such is circular, ring shaped, and entirely covers an outer surface of a radial edge (i.e. an outwardly extending rim, a radial flange) 238 of the capsule. Particularly, said radial edge 238 has been made in one piece with the (preferably rigid) circumferential capsule wall 210.
In the present preferred embodiment, particularly, the sealing member is provided by part of a sheet 216, the sheet 216 also providing an exit filter 216A of the capsule. Thus, the exit filter (i.e. the second wall) and the sealing member are made in one piece.
Particularly, the fibrous and/or paperlike sheet material 216 encloses the radial edge 238 of the capsule 202. In the present example, an intermediate sheet part 216C interconnects the filter part 216A and the sealing member part 216B. Besides, optionally, the sealing sheet 216 includes a further sheet part 216D which covers at least part of the circumferential wall 210 of the capsule 202.
Thus, in the present embodiment, the lid part 216 and circumferential wall part 210 are both provided with the sealing material sheet.
A further embodiment relates to manufacturing of the capsule and includes: providing a circumferential capsule wall 210 having an integral (one-piece) rim or radial edge 238, and folding a sealing sheet 216 around the edge 238, the sealing sheet substantially enclosing the edge 238. As follows from FIG. 5, preferably, part of the sealing sheet (folded onto the capsule edge part 238) also provides the exit filter part 216A.
The fibrous and/or paperlike material 216 can be attached to a respective capsule wall part (for example a rim part 218B and/or other wall parts, for example the circumferential wall 216D), using an adhesive substance. The adhesive substance can be applied onto the sealing material 216, onto the respective capsule wall part 218, or both, before they are joined. Preferably, manufacturing of the capsule includes pressing the sealing material 216 and respective capsule part together, for example during a curing of afore-mentioned adhesive substance.
According to a further embodiment, the adhesive substance as such can be configured to provide at least part of a sealing function during operation of the capsule. For example, the ring shaped sealing member 216B (located onto the rim part 238 of the capsule) can be provided with a concentric circular or ring-shaped strip of adhesive material (not shown as such), which, after curing, can provide an improved sealing effect. In that case, preferably, the adhesive material is at least partly absorbed in the sealing member 216B. Application of the adhesive substance can involve one or more of: dipping, spraying, brushing, coating, or a different process.
According to yet a further embodiment, the ring shaped sealing member 216B can homogeneously and uniformly contain the (after manufacturing cured) adhesive material. Alternatively, the adhesive substance can be applied in a pattern, for example a dot pattern, a striped pattern, or a different pattern.
Optionally, the bottom wall part 214 may also be covered by a section of the sealing material. In yet a further embodiment, the capsule can be provided with fibrous and/or paperlike sheet material 216 that determines (provides) substantially (for example at least 80%, and preferably at least 99%) of the entire external surface of the capsule 202. Such a capsule can be manufactured, for example, by providing the circumferential wall 210, the wall 210 preferably being provided with an integral bottom wall 214, and subsequently encompassing the circumferential wall 210 with a sheet of sealing material 216, such, that the sheet provides the exit filter 216A.
Alternatively, for example, the first, second and/or third wall can be substantially made of the fibrous and/or paperlike material, to provide the sealing effect during operation.
Operation of the capsule 202 can involve a method for preparing a predetermined quantity of beverage suitable for consumption using an extractable product, comprising: providing the exchangeable capsule 202; providing the apparatus 104 comprising the receptacle 106 for holding the capsule 202; arranging the capsule 202 in abutment with a support surface of the receptacle 106 (following FIGS. 1-2), wherein the fibrous and/or paperlike part 216B of the capsule 202 acts as sealing member to achieve a fluid tight seal between the capsule 202 and the beverage production device 104; and supplying fluid under the pressure to the extractable product for preparing the beverage.
Thus, a desired sealing can be achieve in a very efficient and reliable way, using economical means. Herein preferably, a one-piece sealing and filter part 216 is applied, comprising an exit filter section 216A that preferably does not does not tear during operation (when it is under water pressure), as well as the sealing section 216B (extending on a rim surface of the rim part 238 that is faced away from the exit filter 216A).
FIG. 6A shows part of an alternative example of a capsule 302, which differs from the embodiment of figured 4-5 in that the sealing member 319 is different from the exit filter 316. As in the FIG. 4 embodiment, a fibrous and/or paperlike sheet material 319 encloses the radial edge 338 of the capsule 302 (the radial edge/flange 338 being made one-piece with the circumferential wall 310). For example, the exit filter 316 and sealing member 319 can be made of different materials or may have a different composition, and/or they can have different thicknesses. As an example, the exit filter (or lid) 316 can be adapted to afore-mentioned lid piercing means 128 such that the capsule 302, in use, is not pierced by the lid piercing means 128 and the lid 316 stays intact. The sealing part 319 as such can be more vulnerable (for example softer, easier to tear) than the lid 316.
In the example of FIG. 6A, a circumferential edge of the lid part 316 is located opposite an internal edge part of the sealing part 319. In another embodiment, a section of the sealing part 319 may extend along part of the exit filter part 316. FIG. 6B shows yet a further example, of an alternative capsule 302′, wherein a section of the full exit filter part 316 is located behind (i.e. covered by) a sealing material part 319 A. For example, the latter sealing material part 319 A can provide an outermost lid of the respective capsule 302′. In one example, this lid 319A will tear during operation of the capsule 302′ (under influence of water pressure).
Alternatively, the sealing material lid part 319 A (covering an internal lid part 316) can be configured not to tear during operation, and is configured to allow the beverage to pass that part 319A (for example by a part 319A that made of filter material, and/or a art 319A that already contains exit openings). Also, in that case, the internal lid part 316 can be configured to protect the external lid part 319A against rupture, for example by reducing water pressure of water exiting the capsule during operation.
FIG. 7 shows part of an alternative capsule example 402, wherein the capsule rim 419 is the sealing member, the rim consisting of fibrous and/or paperlike material. In this example, the—preferably rigid—circumferential wall 410 is made of a different material than the sealing rim 419. For example, capsule rim 419 can be a relatively thick ring shaped part consisting of paper (preferably massive carton material), or a similar material. The rim 419 may include a ring shaped aperture to receive an edge section of the circumferential wall 410 (such that the paper rim 419 enclosed that edge section). An exit filter 416 is attached to the paper rim 419; the exit filter 416 can have various configurations, and is preferably configured to remain intact during operation. Preferably, a thickness of the paper rim part 419 (measured parallel to the centre axis of the capsule 402) larger than 1 mm, and preferably at least 2 mm, more preferably at least 3 mm.
FIG. 8 shows part of yet another alternative capsule example 502, wherein the sealing member is different from the exit filter, the exit filter being attached to part of the sealing member. In this embodiment, the sealing material, providing the sealing member, extends at least partly along both an inner and outer surface of the circumferential wall 510, and encloses the respective integral ring shaped flange 538.
Manufacturing of the example of FIG. 8 may include: providing the circumferential wall part 510 and integral rim part 538, and coating those parts with a fibrous and/or paperlike substance. Therein, preferably, both the outer and inner surface of the circumferential wall part 510 are coated with the fibrous and/or paperlike substance. For example the inner inner surface of the circumferential wall part 510 can be fully coated with the sealing material. In this way, for example, direct contact between beverage ingredients and the circumferential wall part 510 can be avoided. Also, in this example, an exit filter element 516 is attached to an outer surface of the fibrous and/or paperlike sealing part.
