Patent number: 11014737Abstract: Capsules are provided which include a cup-shaped body and a lid which closes the cup-shaped body superiorly. The cup-shaped body includes a side wall and a bottom wall. The bottom wall has at least one outlet opening for the beverage to flow out of the capsule. The cup-shaped body also includes a retaining wall defining inferiorly an intermediate compartment containing the infusion product. The retaining wall includes an impermeable layer and is spaced from the bottom wall so as to define with the latter a lower compartment. The impermeable layer is configured to autonomously tear, due to the pressure reached in the intermediate compartment following the introduction of pressurized hot water into the capsule. Because tearing of the impermeable layer can take place without interaction with perforating elements, the filter element does not tear, and is therefore able to fully perform its filtering action for the entire duration of the preparation process of the beverage.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2017Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: Macchiavelli S.R.L.Inventor: Raffaele Rondelli
