Patent number: 6579456Abstract: A device and a method are described, which are used for precipitating beverage sediment from the rinsing mixture of beverage production machines and which comprise a rinsing conduit, a sediment receptacle and a filtering means. In order to design a device of this type in a structurally simple manner such that it can be serviced more easily, it is suggested that the filtering means should comprise a first and a second filter which are arranged one after the other when seen in the direction of flow of the rinsing mixture and which are each provided with filtrate discharge means and that a flow connection for the rinsing mixture discharged from the rinsing conduit and for the filter cake precipitated on the first filter should be provided, said flow connection bypassing said first filter and leading into the sediment receptacle.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2001Date of Patent: June 17, 2003Assignee: WMF Wuerttemergische Metallwarenfabrik AGInventors: Rolf Frey, Frank Göltenboth, Martin Grupp, Günther Nagel, Armin Startz, Gerhard Wittlinger

Patent number: 6513419Abstract: Described is a coffee machine (1) comprising a brewing member (5, 5′), a support surface (15) for ground coffee and a member (3, 6, 7) for applying water to the ground coffee, in which it is possible to level off the ground coffee positioned on the support surface (15) in a constructionally simple and generally applicable manner to obtain a layer having a substantially uniform thickness. To this end there is provided a member (22, 24, 25, 122, 222, 322) which guides water in a purposefully non-uniform manner over the ground coffee such that the ground coffee is distributed over the support surface (15) in a layer having a substantially uniform thickness.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 1999Date of Patent: February 4, 2003Assignee: WMF Wurttembergische Metallwarenfabrik AGInventors: Siegfried Huber, Günther Nagel

Patent number: 5394787Abstract: A hydrostatic displacement machine has in a revolving cylinder block several displacement elements movable in a guideway and having a radial position during the rotation of the cylinder block determined by a nonrotating displacement ring. The displacement elements, viewed axially, are retained on the displacement ring by two retaining rings. The retaining rings feature relative to the displacement ring a radial seal. The axial seal of the retaining rings is effected in standstill, relative to the housing or housing lid, by way of spring elements, and during the pumping operation, by a contact force which is indirectly dependent on the operating pressure.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 1993Date of Patent: March 7, 1995Assignee: J. M. Voith GmbHInventors: Gerhard Fahnle, Gunther Nagel

Patent number: 5081907Abstract: A hydrostatic displacement engine having pistons which slide on the inside of a stroke ring. The eccentricity of the stroke ring, relative to the cylinder block, is variable. The interior of the housing is divided in two areas which are separated from each other preferably by a seal, namely in the area located radially outside the stroke ring and the area located radially within the stroke ring. The inner and outer areas serve as a leakage oil collection space and connects through a leakage oil line with a pressureless liquid container. Emptying in the area situated radially outside the stroke ring is a connection line which is supplied by a pressure supply. A pressure valve maintains the pressure in the outer area at a value of several bars.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 1990Date of Patent: January 21, 1992Assignee: J. M.
