Abstract
The invention relates to a device for extracting a cap (16) comprising a first part (2), a second part (3) which is movable with respect to the second part (2) which is provided with a space for the cap and defines the cap extracting position in a closed position thereof, an introduction and positioning part comprising the cap guiding elements (6, 7) which are arranged in such a way that it is possible to insert the cap by gravity force and position it in an intermediate position and a beverage pouring system (19) in which the second movable part (3) displaces the cap from the intermediate position to the extraction position.
Claims16
A capsule extraction device comprising
- a first part;
- a second part that can be moved relative to the first part;
- a housing for the capsule and defining, in a closed position of the movable part against the fixed part, an extraction position of the capsule along an axis in said housing;
- an insertion and positioning part comprising means for guiding the capsule arranged so as to insert the capsule by gravity and position said capsule in an intermediate position;
- a drink pouring system;
- and
- the second movable part is so arranged and constructed to move the capsule from the intermediate position into the extraction position when the device is closed.
A coffee machine comprising:
- a capsule extraction device comprising a first part, a second part that can be moved relative to the first part, a housing for the capsule and defining, in a closed position of the movable part against the fixed part, an extraction position of the capsule along an axis in said housing, an insertion and positioning part comprising means for guiding the capsule arranged so as to insert the capsule by gravity and position said capsule in an intermediate position, a drink pouring system.
- and the second movable part is so arranged and constructed to move the capsule from the intermediate position into the extraction position when the device is closed;
