  • PLUNGER-FILTER BEVERAGE-MAKING MACHINE WITH A CLOSABLE POURING OPENING
    Publication number: 20110088561
    Abstract: The invention discloses a plunger-filter beverage-making machine with a lid which can be closed by a valve. The beverage-making machine has a vessel (2), a lid (3) and a filter piston (4) which can be vertically displaced in the vessel and has a piston rod (41). The lid (3) contains a pouring opening (37) which can be closed by means of an elongate lever (33) which extends transverse to the piston rod. To this end, the lever is mounted on the lid such that it can pivot about a horizontal axis. The lever has, in the region of its front end, a closure body (36) in order to close the pouring opening and, in the region of its rear end, an operating region (331) in order to pivot the lever by virtue of pressure exerted by a finger of a user.

  • ELECTRIC MILK FROTHER
    Publication number: 20100295194
    Abstract: Disclosed is a milk frothing apparatus comprising a drive unit (10) which drives a shaft (30). An elongate, flexible, bent frothing element (40) that has an adjustable shape which preferably adjusts to the surface of the liquid to be frothed during operation is connected to the shaft. In a particular embodiment, the frothing element is designed as a flexible helical coil. In addition, another frothing element (32) can be provided at the lower end of the shaft.

  • DOUBLE-WALLED VESSEL HAVING PRESSURE EQUALIZATION OPENING
    Publication number: 20100288776
    Abstract: A double-walled vessel (1) is disclosed, which has a pressure equalization opening (24). Said opening is closed by a stopper (4), which has at least one gas passage channel (41). Said channel is configured such that it allows air to pass, while it prevents the penetration of water into the intermediate space. The stopper is preferably made from a silicone-based plastic and fastened to the vessel by means of an adhesive based on acetoxy silicone. For fastening purposes, it may comprise a disk-like fastening flange (43).

  • MILK FROTHING APPARATUS HAVING IMPROVED FROTHING EFFECT
    Publication number: 20100260005
    Abstract: An apparatus for frothing a liquid food product is disclosed. It comprises a drive unit (1) and a frothing unit (3). The frothing unit (3) comprises a guide rod (30), which is configured along at least one section as a threaded rod (31). A frothing element (40) is in threaded engagement with the guide rod (30) and can thus be moved along a helical path on the guide rod (30). At least one dog (36, 36?) is driven by the drive unit (1) in a circular motion about the longitudinal axis of the guide rod (30) and in the process entrains the frothing element (40) such that said element is driven to perform a helical motion on the guide rod (30). In this way, the frothing element can perform an up and down motion superimposed on the rotational motion thereof along the longitudinal direction.
