  • Patent number: 9402503
    Abstract: The invention is an improvement of the filter unit in beverage makers. Said filter unit comprises a filter insert and a filter lock, can be placed as a whole onto and removed from the brewing container, and at the same time ensures good sealing of all components. For improved handling, the brewing chamber can be filled and closed outside of the beverage-maker, wherein the particularly large depth of the filter insert offers significant assistance. Closing the brewing chamber by means of the filter closure prevents the beverage base material from oozing out due to a ring engaging in the filter insert and additionally ensures its adequate sealing. By widening the brewing chamber, the beverage-making machine provides a consistent quality of the beverages with of different fill levels.

  • Publication number: 20130025464
    Abstract: The invention relates to a safety mechanism for beverage-making devices that extract or dissolve a beverage base material using a hot pressurized liquid. The pressure container of the beverage-making device comprises an inwardly directed crucible-shaped formation, into which the pressure-regulating mechanism is inserted from the outside and which is closed with a closure in a planar manner. The closure does not have any holes, but form intermediate spaces with the pressure container that act as vapor drainage channels. The outlet of the gases on the beverage-making device is located almost invisibly at a transition of two parts.
