20100077927 | BREWING APPARATUS WITH A DRAINAGE VALVE - The invention relates to a brewing apparatus, in particular for coffee, comprising a drainage valve, which is located on the one hand in a brewing liquid path between a brewing liquid container and a brewing unit of the brewing apparatus and on the other hand, in a drainage liquid path between the brewing unit and an outlet of the brewing apparatus. In a brewing position of the drainage valve, the brewing liquid path is released and the drainage liquid path is blocked. The brewing apparatus is characterised by a drainage position of the drainage valve in which both the drainage liquid path and also the brewing liquid path are released and a decalcification position of the drainage valve in which the brewing liquid path is blocked and a decalcification liquid path is produced between the brewing liquid container and the outlet via the drainage valve. | 04-01-2010 |
20100147091 | DRIVE FOR A COFFEE BREWING DEVICE AND COFFEE BREWING DEVICE - The invention relates to a drive for a coffee brewing device that includes a first gearwheel having an internal thread that is pivot-mounted to an external thread of a guide cylinder so that the first gearwheel can be moved along a cylinder axis of the guide cylinder in response to a rotation, a second gearwheel for driving the first gearwheel along the cylinder axis, a housing, and a brewing piston coupled to the housing so that the brewing piston and the first gearwheel can be moved along the cylinder axis. A linear guide running parallel to the cylinder axis is also provided for guiding the housing such that a movement of the housing opposite to the linear guide in a radial direction to the cylinder axis is prevented. An axis of rotation of the second gearwheel is arranged in a provided distance relative to the linear guide. | 06-17-2010 |
20100212508 | DISPENSING DEVICE AND COFFEE MACHINE FOR MILK AND MILK FOAM - A dispensing device for milk and/or milk foam is provided that includes a mixing device for mixing steam, milk and/or air. A mixing device may include a chamber, a first line for the supply of milk into the chamber, a second line for a supply of steam into the chamber, a third line for the supply of air into the chamber, at least one outlet for dispensing the milk and/or the milk foam from the chamber, a valve including an adjustable regulating shaft for regulating the supply of milk and/or air into the chamber. By adjusting the regulating shaft between different predetermined positions at least one flow of milk may be switched on and switched off and/or altered and a flow of air may be switched on and switched off and/or altered. A dispensing device may further include a drive motor for adjusting the regulating shaft of the valve and a control device for controlling the drive motor. The regulating shaft may be movable by controlling the drive motor by means of the control device into respective predetermined positions. | 08-26-2010 |
