  • Publication number: 20070272086
    Abstract: The coffee pot, according to the invention, comprises a chimney conduit (18) laterally offset in the upper vessel (12) relative to the axis (X-X) of the coffee pot (10). In the coffee a tortuous path is thus formed, starting from an orifice (15.1), in which the boiling water under pressure enters and arrives, through an axial tube (15), in the chamber (14) of a funnel filter (13), where it impregnates and flows through the coffee powder and a disk-shaped filter (17), forming in an infusion chamber (17.1) the coffee infusion, which then rises under pressure through said offset chimney conduit (18), until its outlet (18.1), from which it spills into the upper vessel (12).

  • Patent number: 6698338
    Abstract: The machine comprises a pair of risers and a head comprising a plurality of operating roller units with rollers supported on the top and between the risers. According to the invention, the machine comprises a cover pivotally mounted by a pin with respect to the risers and over the head so to at least cover the gap on the top and on the front between the risers, in which the operating units are arranged in its closed position. Cams are functionally associated to the cover and cam trackers are functionally associated to a micro switch. The micro switch is electrically connected to the electrical power circuit of an electrical geared motor of the machine so that the micro switch electrically closes the electrical circuit only when the cover is correctly and completely closed and consequently the electrical geared motor of the machine can be turned along with the operating unit rollers only in this condition.
