Abstract:
A method and assembly (1) for making a beverage by percolating a measure of anhydrous material inside a container (2), whereby a supporting body (16), perpendicular to a vertical first axis (7) and for supporting the container (2) in an infusion position, is located beneath a hollow body (27; 52) which fits onto the container (2) in the infusion position, and oscillates, about a second axis (32)' crosswise to the first axis (7), between a first position, in which the hollow body (27; 52) faces the supporting body (16), and a second position located laterally outwards of the supporting body (16) and in which the container (2) is unloaded by gravity after infusion.
Abstract:
An assembly for producing a beverage by percolating a measure of anhydrous material in a container (2), wherein two half -rings (38), carried by the arms (36) of a gripper device (29), are movable with respect to each other to and from a mutual contact position, in which the two half-rings (38) define an annular body (40) laterally enclosing the container (2) in an infusion position; and wherein a release device (30) is movable along the arms (36) to move the two half -rings (38) into an open position to automatically unload the container (2) when infusion is completed.
Abstract:
A machine for making a beverage by percolating anhydrous material in a container (2), wherein two members (10, 11) are movable with respect to each other to and from a mutual contact position, in which the two members (10, 11) define an annular body (12) which laterally encloses the container (2) in an infusion position; and wherein one (11) of the two members (10, 11) is a rigid curved member extending along an arc of over 180° to click laterally onto the container (2).
Abstract:
A coffee machine (1), wherein an infusion device (3) has a pressurized-hot-water sprinkler (7) coaxial with a longitudinal axis (4), a coffee receptacle (5), and a frame (8) for supporting the receptacle (5) in a work position in which the receptacle (5) faces the sprinkler (7); the machine (1) having a hydraulic actuator (6), in turn having a cylinder (14) integral with the sprinkler (7), and a piston (15) integral with the frame (8), so that, in use, relative movement of the cylinder (14) and piston (15) produces relative movement of the sprinkler (7) and the receptacle (5) to and from an infusion position, in which the sprinkler (7) and the receptacle (5) are gripped together to define a fluidtight infusion chamber.
Abstract:
A percolator machine (1) for making a beverage from a powdered material housed inside a container (2), wherein a gripper device (13) is interposed between a pressurized hot water dispenser unit (8) and thrust unit (22), aligned with each other along a first axis (7), to define a first seat (20) coaxial with the first axis (7); and wherein the thrust unit (22) compresses in fluidtight manner against the dispenser unit (8) a container (2) housed inside the first seat (20); and the gripper device (13) is independent of the thrust unit (22), and has two jaws (14) mounted to oscillate, about respective second axes (19) located above the first axis (7) and parallel to each other and to the first axis (7), to and from a closed position, in which the two jaws (14) define the first (20), and a second seat (21) located between the second axes (19) and above the first seat (20) to receive a further container (2).
Abstract:
A coffee percolator having a vertical axis (2), and wherein a pressurized-hot-water dispensing assembly (3) has a bottom outlet (5) facing a top surface (16) of a fixed annular body (15) supporting a percolating cup (6), which engages the annular body (15) removably and is connected to the annular body (15) by a bayonet joint (12) defined partly by at least one sloping surface (21) formed on the top surface (16) of the annular body (15).
Abstract:
A cartridge filter (1) for a coffee machine tank (2), wherein the filter (1) is defined by a container (11, 14) housing a filter medium (15), and has at least one inlet (16) for the water in the tank (2), and an inner chamber (23) which is separated from the rest of the filter (1) by a member (28) permeable to water, and has a first opening (25) for feeding the filtered water to a hydraulic circuit of the machine; and wherein the first opening (25) also acts as an inlet for the drain water of the hydraulic circuit, and the chamber (23) has a second opening (27) communicating with the tank (2) and controlled by a one-way valve (32) permitting outflow of the drain water of the hydraulic circuit from the chamber (23).
Abstract:
A coffee machine (1) having a rotor (5), to which are rigidly connected a number of peripheral percolating cups (6), each for receiving a respective container (2) containing a measure of ground coffee; the rotor (5) rotates in steps about a fixed horizontal axis (7) to selectively move each cup (6) into a percolating position; and each cup (6) is associated with a respective cam-operated ejector (21), which, following percolation, expels the used container (2) from the cup (6) in response to the relative cup (6) being moved out of the percolating position by a rotation step of the rotor (5) about the fixed axis (7).
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.
Abstract:
A machine (1) for percolating a beverage from powdered material in a container (2; 2a; 2b), the machine (1) being substantially vertical, and having a pressurized-hot-water dispensing assembly (30, 34) movable to and from an engaged position connected in fluidtight manner to a percolating assembly (7), which houses a container (2; 2a; 2b) and is defined by a rotor (8) rotating about a substantially horizontal, fixed axis (10) of rotation, and having a number of peripheral percolating cups (9), each of which can be set selectively to an infusion position, in which the cup (9) is positioned upwards facing the dispensing assembly (30, 34), by rotating the rotor (8) in response to the dispensing assembly (30, 34) withdrawing from the engaged position connected to the percolating assembly (7).
