Patent ID: 8397629

Claim:
An assembly for use in a machine for preparing beverages by infusing a liquid, the assembly comprising: a support; a boiler, used to heat the liquid for making the beverages, the boiler comprising a heating chamber and heating means for heating the liquid contained in the heating chamber; assembly means arranged so as to allow either uniting or removable disuniting of the boiler and support; first means of fluid communication into the boiler and second means of fluid communication formed by the support, the second means of fluid communication forming an integral part of a fluid incoming circuit for feeding liquid into the heating chamber and forming an integral part of a fluid outgoing circuit for evacuating the liquid heated in the heating chamber outside the heating chamber, said first and second means of fluid communication being arranged to co-act one with the other so that when the boiler is united on the support: the liquid can flow from the fluid incoming circuit of the support to the boiler, and the liquid heated in the heating chamber can flow from the heating chamber of the boiler to the fluid outgoing circuit of the support, wherein uniting and disuniting the boiler and the support respectively allows and removes co-action of the first means of fluid communication with the second means of fluid communication, and said uniting of the boiler and the support is achieved by imposing a first translational movement on the boiler relative to the support, then a second rotational movement relative to the support.
