  • Publication number: 20210206561
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pack (100) for preparing a food or beverage product from one or more ingredients, the pack comprising an insert (10) through where the food or beverage product is delivered; the pack being configured by at least one flexible sheet folded in such a way to configure at least two distinct and separated volumes, an insert volume (300) where the insert (10) is enclosed, and a product volume (200) where one or more ingredients are stored; the at least one flexible sheet being arranged tightly over the frontal and rear parts of the insert (10) and matching these frontal and rear parts, such that there is a part of flexible sheet material configuring part of the pack (100) arranged below the insert (10). The invention further relates to the use of such a pack for preparing a food or beverage product and to a method for producing a food or beverage product using such a pack.

  • Patent number: 10294020
    Abstract: An optically readable code support to be associated with or be part of a capsule intended for delivering a beverage in a beverage producing device, the support including at least one sequence of symbols represented on the support so that each symbol is sequentially readable by a reading arrangement of an external reading device while the capsule is driven in rotation along an axis of rotation. The symbols are essentially formed of a succession of light reflective surface portions and light absorbing surface portions. The light absorbing surface portions provide a lower light-reflective intensity than the light-reflective surface portions, and the code support includes at least one base layer extending continuously at least along the sequence of symbols. The light-absorbing surface portions are roughened surface portions having a higher rugosity (Rz) than the light-reflective surface portions.

  • Publication number: 20140305315
    Abstract: A capsule (1) comprising •a side wall (2a), a bottom wall (2b), a mouth opening (2c) and a flange-like rim (2d) extending outwardly, and •an upper wall (3) attached to the flange-like rim (2d) and/or to the side wall (2a) and at least partially covering the mouth opening (2c) •the upper wall (3) comprising a central liquid inlet (6) for injection of liquid in the capsule and a peripheral portion of wall (3a) comprising outlet apertures (5) for beverage to leave the capsule and •an annular engagement portion (10) located at least between the peripheral portion (3a) and the inlet (6) and arranged to form an inwardly protruding inlet flange (7) by a predefined design or by deformation upon introduction of a dedicated injection member (20) of a beverage preparation device through the inlet (6); such inlet flange (7) providing a liquid-tight sealing interaction with the outer surface of the injection member (20).
