Beverage preparation device comprising an insert inserted into a receptacle

Abstract

The present invention discloses a beverage preparation device which comprises an insert that is inserted into a receptacle and can be interlocked with the receptacle. The beverage preparation device comprises a receptacle (1), a receptacle holder (2), and an insert, e.g. a lid (3) or a holding element. The receptacle holder (2) has at least one element (24) which protrudes from the receptacle (1) and on which at least one engaging structure (26) is provided that cooperates with a second engaging structure (34) on the insert (3) in such a way that the insert is releasably interlocked with the receptacle (1). Preferably, the two engaging structures represent a bayonet joint.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a beverage preparation machine having an upwardly opening container held in a container holder and an insert such as a lid or an annular holding element. Beverage preparation machines of this type are used in particular for preparing coffee or tea, or for frothing milk. Background technique [0002] In the state of the art, the long-known filter press coffee preparation machines are often referred to as "French press" coffee preparation machines. The beverage preparation machine generally comprises an upwardly open cylindrical glass container in which a vertically movable filter piston is arranged. The filter piston comprises a piston rod, on the lower end of which a filter press with a fine wire or plastic mesh is mounted. The piston rod passes through a lid that covers the container upwards. [0003] To prepare eg tea or coffee, tea leaves or ground coffee beans are added to the container and hot water is poured in. Let t...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Due to the loose connection of the glass container to the lid there is a risk that the lid will slip when the filter press is pressed down and the drink can splash out of the glass container

Furthermore, during improper handling or when the beverage preparation machine is tipped over, as the lid rests loosely on the glass container, hot liquid escapes from the beverage preparation machine, thus spilling the brewed coffee and possibly scalding the user
