Abstract: An apparatus for rolling a bladder includes a support structure, a rolling pin, and a bladder-mounting pin. The apparatus optionally includes a rolling initiator Rolling a bladder includes inserting the bladder while unrolled into an apparatus for rolling a bladder, inserting the bladder between a rolling pin and a bladder-mounting pin of the rolling machine, and rotating the rolling pin to (a) advance a portion of the bladder between the rolling pin and the bladder-mounting pin, (b) roll the portion of the bladder around the bladder-mounting pin, and (c) drive the bladder-mounting pin to rotate in an opposite direction from that of the rolling pin.

Abstract: A capsule body is adapted for containing one or more beverage ingredients for use in a beverage preparation machine. The capsule body includes a base body having side walls defining a cavity for receiving the one or more beverage ingredients, a flange-like rim extending from the side walls and a sealing member adapted to provide a sealed engagement between the capsule body and the beverage preparation machine. The side walls include an inner surface facing the cavity defined by the side walls and an outer surface facing the beverage preparation machine in use. The sealing member is positioned on a surface of the flange like rim that extends from the inner surface of the side walls.
