| 20160060023 | PORTION CAPSULE HAVING A LIQUID DISTRIBUTOR - The invention relates to a portion capsule for producing a beverage or a food, comprising a side wall and a bottom, which together define a volume in which a raw material is located, which is extracted, desorbed, and/or dissolved by means of a liquid in order to produce the beverage. | 03-03-2016 |
| 20160075506 | A BEVERAGE PREPARATION SYSTEM, A CAPSULE AND A METHOD FOR FORMING A BEVERAGE - A beverage producing system is provided comprising a capsule containing beverage ingredients and a beverage preparation machine. The capsule comprises a cup-shaped body and a lid; the cup-shaped body having a base and a side wall and the lid being sealed to the cup-shaped body. Prior to insertion, the side wall comprises: —an annular trough being dimensioned to receive an enclosing member of the beverage preparation machine on movement of the enclosing member, into a closed position; —a first side wall section extending between the base and the annular trough; and —a second side wall section extending between the annular trough and a rim of the capsule. A capsule and a method are also disclosed. | 03-17-2016 |
| 20160081370 | DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR DRINKS - A water soluble shell or binder is used to encapsulate nutrients, flavoring, other food grade ingredients or combinations thereof together as a single serving or unit. The unit or single serving may be distributed to people to provide nutrition to people in mass casualty situations. In this manner, more nutrients may be delivered since water which has a significant amount of weight and volume need not be transported to the people. Moreover, in normal situations, the water soluble shell or binder dissolves sufficiently quick so that the user can quickly consume nutrients. | 03-24-2016 |
| 20160101928 | COFFEE CAPSULE - A capsule which under pressure in expresso machines is suitable for extraction of coffee, including a truncated cone-shaped capsule body of thermoformed plastic having a conical side wall, the wider end of the side wall defining an outlet side of the capsule and the narrower end of the side wall defining an inlet side of the capsule. A destructible inlet sealing membrane closes the inlet opening of the capsule body and is attached to the inside of the capsule body. The capsule body further includes a circumferential centering ramp at the narrower end of the conical side wall, which translates into an inwardly directed circumferential second flange forming the circular inlet opening, the circumferential centering ramp designed to align the inlet sealing membrane with the inlet opening before welding it to the second flange. The inlet sealing membrane has a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the second flange to be bend upwards along the centering ramp and to at least partially cover the centering ramp when welding it to the second flange. The upwards bend edge forms a heat protecting layer between a hot sealing tool and the centering ramp during welding. | 04-14-2016 |
