| 20100229731 | Machine for Filtered Coffee With Shutter Opening - A machine for filtered coffee, having an upper body, inside which a filter-carrier for the coffee and a tank for the water are housed, both accessible through a window. The machine comprises a shutter able to be moved slidingly with respect to said upper body between an open condition and a closed condition of said window and vice versa, so as to selectively allow complete frontal access to said filter-carrier and to said tank, through said window, leaving free frontal access to the filter-carrier and to the water tank. The machine further comprises a pivoting opening which opens frontally with respect to a user and allows access to said tank, when said shutter is in the open condition, for conveying water to the tank without moving said tank from the machine. | 09-16-2010 |

| 20100282092 | DEVICE FOR PREPARING A BEVERAGE SUITABLE FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION WITH A FINE-BUBBLE FOAM LAYER - A device for preparing a beverage suitable for human consumption and having a fine-bubble foam layer, includes a beverage unit for delivering the beverage under pressure and at least one nozzle which is in fluid communication with the beverage unit for supplying the beverage to the nozzle such that the nozzle can generate a jet of beverage. The device further includes a receiving unit into which the jet is directed for obtaining the beverage with the fine-bubble foam layer. The receiving unit is provided with a chamber with at least one drain opening for delivering the beverage with the fine-bubble foam layer and a jet impact member accommodated in the chamber and having a top that lies free from an inner wall of the chamber. The nozzle and the jet impact member are mutually oriented such that the jet hits against a portion of the top of the jet impact member, so that the jet after hitting against the jet impact member forms a mist of the beverage. The beverage with the fine-bubble foam layer subsequently leaves the drain opening. The device is constructed such that air can only be supplied to the chamber through the at least one drain opening and/or through an air supply channel which extends through the jet impact member into the chamber. | 11-11-2010 |
