Problems solved by technology

This movement requires some force from the user and can be difficult to remove the capsule holder
Thirdly, the small size of the fluid connections such as the small fluid inlets used to provide the high-pressure jet in the capsule-holder cannot be precisely associated and the risk of leakage cannot be avoided
This device has the same disadvantages as the previously described device

Embodiment Construction

[0102] Referring to Figure 1 , there is shown a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of a beverage dispenser or dispensing machine 1 comprising a preparation device or module 2 according to the invention. The device is described in more detail in the remainder of this specification. The equipment is connected to the frame 3 of the machine comprising a water supply system known per se configured to supply pressurized water to the equipment, the water supply system comprising a reservoir 30 such as a transparent tank, a pump located in the frame and a water heater (not visible ), the pump and the water heater are connected to the water inlet pipeline 31 of the equipment 2. The water inlet of the device is controlled by an actuation system 32 comprising, for example, a valve and a manual lever known per se. Any other actuation system such as a stop button associated with an electromechanical valve is conceivable. Provided on the frame is a mains power control 38 which is ...

Abstract

The device has a capsule holder (4) configured for receiving a capsule and detachable with respect to a pressurized fluid supply unit (5). An injector provided for injecting fluid in the capsule is separable from the fluid supply unit when the holder is detached. The holder and the injector are associated with each other. The holder has a cup with a housing that is complementary to that of body of the capsule. An independent claim is also included for a drink vending machine comprises a drink preparation device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus for preparing liquids, in particular an apparatus using capsules containing one or more food ingredients for preparing liquids. The invention also relates to a liquid dispenser using such a device. The invention also relates to a capsule holder for such a device using a capsule containing one or more food ingredients for the preparation of a liquid. Background technique [0002] The use of capsules containing substances for the preparation of cold or hot drinks by extraction or mixing with a pressurized liquid such as water injected into the capsule is especially useful for the production of espresso, filter coffee, cappuccino, latte, macchiato , tea or chocolate and are valued especially for hygiene, freshness, preservation of ingredients and ease of use. [0003] Different types of machines are used to prepare beverages using sealed or permeable capsules containing substances to be extracted such as gro...
