| 20080299262 | PRECHARGED GROUND COFFEE CAPSULE, METHOD FOR ITS PRODUCTION AND APPARATUS FOR IMPLEMENTING SAID METHOD - Taught herein are a precharged ground coffee capsule comprising a polygonal cross-section container body made of a liquid-impermeable material, the container body having an open end and a large axial opening formed in a bottom wall of the container body, two walls made of a liquid-permeable material being arranged on the open end and at the bottom wall respectively, the liquid-impermeable material comprising a metallic material support layer and a thermoplastic material layer, the thermoplastic material layer facing the interior of the container body, the permeable walls being coupled to the container body through the thermoplastic material layer, an outwardly projecting radial flange being provided at the open end of the container body; a method for producing the capsule; and an apparatus for implementing the method. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20100239717 | CAPSULE FOR PREPARING COFFEE IN A DEVICE COMPRISING A CARTRIDGE HOLDER WITH RELIEF AND RECESSED ELEMENTS - A capsule for the production of a beverage in a beverage production machine comprising a capsule holder with relief and recessed elements. The capsule includes an inverted cup-shaped body forming a chamber containing beverage ingredients; a bottom injection wall; a sidewall; and a delivery wall which is sealed to the body. The delivery wall is configured and dimensioned to include a calibrated orifice or perforating means to provide a calibrated orifice with the beverage delivery wall not being tearable against the capsule holder during extraction. The wall also provides through the restriction created by the calibrated orifice a certain back pressure which generates an elevated pressure in the capsule during extraction. Also, a system and method for producing a beverage from the capsules of the invention. | 09-23-2010 |

| 20100303965 | CARTRIDGE FOR PREPARING A BEVERAGE - The invention relates to a cartridge for preparing a beverage, such as coffee, that comprises a hollow member for containing a dose of, for example, ground coffee, said hollow member comprising a side wall, an upper face and a lower face including an extraction membrane, said cartridge being characterised in that it further comprises several separate protrusions provided on said side wall and/or said upper wall, each protrusion including at least one perforation area. The invention also relates to a device for using said cartridge. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20100330236 | FIBER SHEET - A fiber sheet is obtained by laminating a nonwoven fabric on a gauze. The gauze satisfies a warp fineness of 5 to 40 deniers, a warp density of 40 to 100 warps/inch, a weft fineness of 5 to 40 deniers, and a weft density of 20 to 100 wefts/inch. The nonwoven fabric is made of a melt-blown nonwoven fabric, a spunbonded nonwoven fabric, or a carded nonwoven fabric, having a fineness of 4.0 deniers or less. The fiber sheet has a basis weight of 7.5 to 20 g/m | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110020500 | CAPSULE WITH FLOW CONTROL AND FILTERING MEMBER - A sealed capsule contains a beverage ingredient in powder form, in particular, ground coffee. The capsule comprises a base body ( | 01-27-2011 |
| 20120171333 | OXYGEN AND CARBON DIOXIDE ABSORPTION IN A SINGLE USE CONTAINER WITH AN ABSORBENT SUPPORT BELOW THE FILTER - The invention provides an extended shelf life package comprising a material for mammal ingestion that degrades by oxidation, comprising an oxygen scavenger comprising a transition metal oxygen scavenger, a container substantially impervious to oxygen, wherein the container has a filter suspended in the container, the filter holds the material for mammal ingestion, the container also holds a support for the filter below the filter, and wherein the support holds the oxygen scavenger. | 07-05-2012 |
| 20130045308 | DISPOSABLE BIODEGRADABLE BEVERAGE PACKAGE - A biodegradable pod or package designed to work in single serve beverage machines. The package of the present invention includes a base, a filter, and a top, all of which are biodegradable. In some embodiments, the base and filter are formed from a biodegradable polymeric material such as polylactic acid (PLA); preferably, both the base and the filter are formed from PLA or include a coating of PLA thereon (for example, paper with a PLA coating). The top can be formed from a cellulosic material or other plant-based material. The package utilizes a unique bond between the three components so as to withstand the temperature and pressures to which the pod is exposed by the beverage machine. The bond is formed by melted or softened biodegradable polymeric material from the base and the filter that also adheres the top. | 02-21-2013 |
| 20130122153 | COFFEE POD HAVING A FLEXIBLE MICROPOROUS OR MICROPERFORATED CASING - A coffee pod which can be used for machines for preparing and dispensing coffee beverages that comprise at least one extraction chamber, and at least one piston for compacting a predetermined amount of ground coffee inserted into the extraction chamber. The pod includes: a predetermined amount of ground coffee compacted into an aggregate of ground coffee beans, having an outer shape suitable for rolling, and preferably a substantially spherical ball shape; and a filter casing formed of at least one pervious, microporous or microperforated sheet or film, trapping and matching the shape of the compacted coffee aggregate. The sheet or film is flexible, having stretchability properties with an elongation at rupture of at least 30% and an ultimate tensile strength of less than 2,000 N/m, and a thickness of at least 150 μm. | 05-16-2013 |
