Patent number: 8973486Abstract: The brewing unit comprises: a support (5); a drawer (7), presenting at least a seat for a single serving package (C), slidable with respect to the support and movable between a loading position of the single serving package and a brewing position; a dispensing member (23) to dispense pressurized water to the single serving package. A control lever (9) is provided to control the movement of the drawer (7). A mechanical connection is also provided between the lever and the drawer and between the lever and the dispensing member, so that operation of the lever causes the drawer to move from the loading position to the brewing position and the dispensing member to rest against the single serving package.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2008Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Patrizio Frigeri, Roland Kälin, Andrea Castellani

Patent number: 8931397Abstract: A support for a container for receiving beverages from a spout of a machine for the production of beverages, where the support includes a first resting surface and a second surface with is hingedly attached to the first resting surface for positioning the two surfaces at different heights. In particular, the two resting surfaces are positioned on top of one another in a first position to accommodate a first cup between the second resting surface and the spout. Further, the two resting surfaces are positioned away from one another in a second position to accommodate a second cup between the first resting surface and the spout, where the second cup is taller than the first cup.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2008Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Patrizio Frigeri, Marco Marchi

Patent number: 8758350Abstract: A device for clamping fixation elements, which have been inserted into bone, for manipulating fragments of a fractured bone. The device incorporating a hollow body with a cavity having a wall, a clamping body moveable within the cavity between a first position and a second position, and a clamping device operably connected to the clamping body for moving the clamping body between the first position and the second position. The device being sized and configured so that when the clamping body is in the first position a free end of the fixation element(s) may be positioned between the clamping body and the wall of the cavity. Once the fixation element(s) is properly positioned within the cavity, the clamping device may be used to move the clamping body into the cavity, thereby wedging the fixation element(s) between the clamping body and the wall of the cavity. A bone fragment may then be manipulated using the device.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2010Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Depuy Synthes Products, LLCInventors: Daniel Schmucki, Patrizio Frigeri, Peter Messmer

Patent number: 7806042Abstract: An apparatus for the preparation of hot beverages by brewing a water-extractable particulate substance includes a delivery pump (5), water heater (6), brewing area (36) and beverage outlet (7). The apparatus comprises a delivery member in the form of a screw shaft (10) provided with at least one flight (13) by means of which the particulate substance is delivered into and out of the brewing area (36) in one and the same direction. An extraction area (37) is provided downstream of the brewing area (36) in which the substance is compacted by the screw shaft (10) and thereby the essence of the substance extracted or the substance is additionally extracted. This is achieved by the pitch of the flights (13) in the region of the extraction zone (25) being smaller than in the region of the brewing zone (24).Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2007Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: Imel AGInventors: Patrizio Frigeri, Roland Kaelin, Rainer Bunge
