Abstract:
A percolating machine (1) for making a beverage from powdered material in a container (2), the machine (1) having a pressurized-hot-water dispenser (8) having a sprinkler (9) ; and a thrust member (11) having a seat (22) for at least partly housing the container (2); the dispenser (8) and the thrust member (11) are aligned along an axis (5) , are both movable along the axis (5) to and from an infusion position, and are connected by a transmission (12) so that movement of the thrust member (11) along the axis (5) in one direction corresponds to movement of the dispenser (8) along the axis (5) in the opposite direction.
Abstract:
A percolator (1), wherein a container (2), containing a measure of ground coffee, is inserted inside a fixed cup (8), which has a vertical first axis (9), is positioned with its concavity facing upwards, and has a lid (27) which rotates, about a second axis (29) crosswise to the first axis (9), to and from a closed position closing the cup (8); the lid (27) having a pressurized-hot-water sprinkler (38) which, when the lid 10 (27) is in the closed position, is moved, by a piston (34) carried by the lid (27), onto the cup (8) to define, with the cup (8), a percolating chamber (39) for housing the wafer (2) and a bolt device (53) to lock the lid (27) in the closed position.
Abstract:
A percolating machine (1) for producing a beverage using a sealed capsule (2) containing anhydrous powdered material, the machine (1) having a pressurized-hot-water dispenser assembly (9) extending along a vertical axis (8), and in turn having a sprinkler (11) having an end wall (30) substantially crosswise to the aforementioned axis (8); a removable percolating cup (12) positioned, in use, with its inlet (13) facing the end wall (30), and for housing a sealed capsule (2) positioned with a sealing wall (7) facing the end wall (30); and a piercing device (41) integral with the sprinkler (11) and having a number of substantially rectangular-based projections (42), which extend downwards from the end wall (30) of the sprinkler (11), are equally spaced about the aforementioned axis (8) along a peripheral portion of the end wall (30), and pierce the sealing wall (7) of the sealed capsule (2) when the percolating cup (12) is set to a work position contacting the sprinkler (11).
Abstract:
A machine (1) for percolating a beverage from a powdered material in a container (2), the machine (1) having a sprinkler (11) located along a horizontal first axis (3); and a percolating member (16), which has two opposite percolating cups (17) for housing respective containers (2), and is mounted to rotate about a horizontal second axis (24), crosswise to the first axis (3) and movable therealong, to selectively position each percolating cup (17) in a first loading position in which the percolating cup (17) faces vertically upwards, in a second position coaxial with and facing the to sprinkler (11), and in a third unloading position in which the percolating cup (17) faces downwards.
Abstract:
An infusion unit, wherein a pump (8), for feeding water to an infusion chamber (24) and to a hydraulic cylinder (25) for closing the infusion chamber (24), is equipped with an auto-priming, fast-discharge valve assembly (34), wherein an inner chamber (43) houses a sliding shutter (54) dividing the inner chamber (43) into a first half-chamber (59) communicating with the delivery of the pump (8) via a first port (33), and a second half-chamber (58) communicating with the outside via a second port (35), and with the hydraulic cylinder (25) via a third port (37); the shutter (54) being mounted inside the chamber (43) to move between a normal first position opening the second port (35), and a second position closing the second port (35), and being designed to permit fluid flow from the first port (33) to the second and third port (35, 37) in the first position, and to permit fluid flow from the third port (37) to the second port (35) in the second position.
Abstract:
A machine (1) for percolating coffee from ground coffee in a container (2) ; the machine (1) has a pressurized- hot-water dispenser (14) movable between a fully open first position, and a fully closed second position connected to a percolating assembly (6) for receiving a container (2) and defined by a rotor (7) , which has a number of percolating cups (8) , and rotates about a fixed axis (10) to selectively position each cup (8) in an infusion position connected to the dispenser (14) ; and transmission means (24) are provided to rotate the rotor (7) when the dispenser moves from the second to the first position, and are designed to only allow the dispenser (14) to move towards the percolating assembly (6) from the first position.
