Abstract: The present invention relates to a beverage mixing and dispersing apparatus comprising :—a metering device,—a mixing chamber,—at least one diluent feeding means,—means for moving the mixing chamber, characterized in that the mixing chamber is movable between:—a metering position, where the metering device outlet emerges in the mixing chamber inlet, and—a mixing position, where the diluent feeding means are able to inject the diluent in the mixing chamber and the metering device outlet does not emerge in the mixing chamber inlet.

Abstract: The invention concerns a dosing device for dosing a metered amount of a powdered product comprising: a fixed body (2) made of at least a disc presenting a single pierced aperture (5), a rotary top disk (1) disposed on the top of the fixed body (2) and presenting a taking out pierced aperture (4), a rotary bottom disk (3) disposed on the bottom of the fixed body and presenting a discharging pierced aperture (6), a rotary shaft (7) connecting the bottom disk (1) and the top disk (3), wherein in the stand-by position of the device the metered pierced aperture (5) is empty and closed to the atmosphere. The invention also concerns a beverage preparation apparatus implementing such a dosing device.

Abstract: The invention concerns a mixing assembly (1) comprising a mixing chamber (2) adapted to mix a soluble ingredient with a diluent, wherein the mixing assembly comprises an overflow channel (41), said overflow channel running along the external wall of the mixing chamber so that a liquid exceeding the capacity of the mixing chamber is able to flow in the overflow channel and the outlets (3) of the mixing chamber and the overflow channel allowing the liquid contained in the mixing chamber and the overflow channel to exit and mix in the same place. The invention also concerns a process for mixing a soluble ingredient with a diluent using the above mixing assembly.

Abstract: The invention relates to a refillable multi-dose container (1) for storing a flowable product comprising: —a tank (2) with a top opened extremity (3), —means (4) for closing the top opened extremity (3) of the tank (2), said means being openable by exercising contact pressure on them and closable by stopping contact pressure on them. The invention relates too to a machine comprising such a multi-dose container.

Abstract: The invention proposes an autonomous mobile robotic device in the form of an integrated machine for producing beverages or liquid comestibles.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for feeding capsules containing a substance to be extracted in an extraction system under pressure for the preparation of a drink. The device includes a supply of capsules arranged in several series, and a mechanism for individually unloading one capsule into a reception part of the extraction system. The extraction system injects water into the capsule to form the drink as a liquid extract of the substance. The reception part is arranged beneath the unloading mechanism in such a way as to allow the direct descent of the released capsule into the reception part and includes structure for opening the capsule for releasing the liquid extract therefrom.
