  • Publication number: 20100278582
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electric toothbrush (1) comprising a handle part (2) and an attachment part (3), e.g. a bristle head (4). Preferably, the bristle head (4) can be driven by a first drive unit (6.1) encompassing a first electric motor (7.1). A reservoir (8.1) for a care substance is connected to a duct (11.1) extending into the bristle head (4) by means of a pump (10.1) which can be driven by a second drive unit (6.2) encompassing a second electric motor (7.2). The first and the second electric motor (7.1, 7.2) are powered by a disposable or a rechargeable battery (12). A housing (16) of the handle part (2) is subdivided into a first and a second chamber (19, 20) by means of a liquid-tight partition (17) that extends in the longitudinal direction of the handle part (2). The first and the second drive unit (6.1, 6.2) and the disposable or rechargeable battery (12) are arranged in the first chamber (19) while the reservoir (8.1) and the pump (10.1) are disposed in the second chamber (20). The pump (10.

  • Publication number: 20020051838
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a filter bag (10) consisting of filter paper for producing brewed beverages such as coffee or tea, comprising a holding space (17) for holding a substance, such as coffee grinds or tea leaves, and being made up of a folded filter sheet blank (1) having two filter sheet sides (11, 12). The filter sheet sides (11, 12) are of essentially identical shape and size, having one bottom edge (13) and two side edges (22, 24 and 23, 25). The side edges (22, 24; 23, 25) diverge upwards and include at their upper ends top edges (14, 15) for forming a filling opening (30), with the bottom edge (13) and the side edges (22, 24; 23, 25) of the two filter sheet sides (11, 12) being either connected with each other in a positive engagement relationship, in which case they form bottom and/or side strips (37 and/or 28, 29) in this area, or connected with each other in one integral piece in these areas, in order to form a filter bag (10).

  • Patent number: 5778765
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a beverage brewing apparatus having a water reservoir (1) and a pump (6) powered by an electric motor (45), the pump pressurizing water from the water reservoir (1) and delivering it to a flow-through heater (11) heated by an electric heater (14). In the flow-through heater (11), water is heated in a water conduit (13) and subsequently fed to a pressure chamber (35), adapted to be filled with coffee grinds, of a brewing unit (34) from which, following an extraction operation, the brewed coffee flows into a receptacle (38, 39). According to the invention, a valve device (20) opening when a predetermined pressure is exceeded is provided in the fluid path (9, 13, 15) between the flow-through heater (11) and the brewing unit (34).

  • Patent number: 5711880
    Abstract: A filter for the filtration of extraction beverages includes a disk having a plurality of apertures through which the beverage extracted from the material to be extracted passes form the afflux side to the efflux side. Each aperture is formed by cut edges in the disk and by bending a cut edge away from the surface of the disk to form a roof-shaped dome. The filter is formed by a single punching, bending and embossing operation without scrap slug being produced.
