Abstract: A safety valve of a boiler of a device for making hot beverages, particularly coffee, comprises an intermediate valve body, a plug and resilient means inserted into the seat of the intermediate valve body. The intermediate valve body comprises a peripheral wall designed to be folded over to define a reaction portion of the resilient means and positively press the plug, obtaining a final valve body. The peripheral wall partly closes off a first opening of the intermediate valve body and the plug partly projects from the final valve body.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a valve for a home cappuccino maker of the type comprising a boiler and a collector having a column. The valve comprises a valve body, coupling means suitable for fixing the valve to coupling means of the column, and a shutter mobile between a closed position and an open position of a duct. The valve also comprises a basket suitable for cooperating with the coupling means of the column and with the shutter.

Abstract: A receptacle device comprises a containment space at least partially defined by an inner surface of a containment wall made of glass or glass-ceramic material, and connecting means for connecting a handle to the containment wall. The connecting means comprise a connecting portion projecting from an outer surface of the containment wall opposite the inner surface, wherein the connecting portion is intended to be accommodated within a corresponding seat of the handle that can be mounted about the connecting portion and wherein the connecting portion has such a shape as to result non-extractable from the seat when mounted thereto.

Abstract: Equipment (10) for the preparation of a hot beverage comprising a boiler (10) capable of containing a liquid component of the beverage, for example water, a collection container (14) and means (22, 20, 28) defining a delivery path for the liquid component from the boiler to the collection container. The equipment also comprises valve means (40) located along the delivery path for the liquid component comprising a plug (44) which can move between a position in which the delivery path is closed and one in which it is open and means (70, 72; 74, 76; 78) to immobilise the plug in the open position. These means are arranged in such a way that they can be activated and deactivated by a force exerted in the direction of movement of the plug.

Abstract: An equipment for the production of a hot beverage comprises a boiler, a collection container being associated to the boiler and means for defining a connection path from the boiler to the collection container comprising means for limiting the pressure drop experienced by a liquid contained in the boiler that, when the boiler is heated, rises up along the path to the collection container. A housing chamber for a powdered or ground ingredient is defined by a container for the powdered or ground ingredient, being inserted in the open mouth of the boiler, and a bottom of the collection container. A bottom of the container moves along side walls of the container between a rest position, corresponding to a non-assembled configuration of the equipment, and a working position, corresponding to an assembled configuration of the equipment.

Abstract: A device for heating liquids (10), particularly milk, comprising a container (12) for the liquid to be heated operatively associated with heating means. The latter comprise a heating element (18) delivering variable power over time as a function of the temperature reached by the liquid. Particularly, the heating element (18) is suitable to reduce the power supplied with the increasing temperature of the liquid and is positioned so as to heat the bottom (14) of said container (12).
