Single servie capsule having a fluorescent and/or phosphorescent identifier

Abstract

The invention relates to a single serve capsule for producing a drink from a drink/food raw material which is provided in the cavity of a main body. The invention also relates to a method for producing a drink.

1 . A single serve capsule ( 1 ) for producing a drink from a drink/food raw material which is provided in the cavity ( 3 ) of a main body ( 2 ), characterized in that the main body ( 2 ) has a fluorescent and phosphorescent substance ( 6 ) which makes it possible to individualize the respective single serve capsule. 
     
     
         2 . The single serve capsule as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that the main body ( 2 ) has a wall ( 2 . 1 ) which is adjoined at its first end ( 2 . 2 ) by a bottom and at its second end ( 2 . 3 ) by a cover, characterized in that the fluorescent and phosphorescent substance ( 6 ) is provided in the area of the cover and/or in the area of the bottom. 
     
     
         3 . The single serve capsule as claimed in  claim 2 , characterized in that the fluorescent and phosphorescent substance ( 6 ) is provided only in a sub-region of the cover and/or of the bottom. 
     
     
         4 . The single serve capsule ( 1 ) as claimed in  claim 2  or  3 , characterized in that the cover ( 2 . 4 ) is a film ( 5 ), which is connected to the wall. 
     
     
         5 . The single serve capsule ( 1 ) as claimed in  claim 4 , characterized in that the film ( 5 ) has at least two film layers ( 9 ,  10 ). 
     
     
         6 . The single serve capsule ( 1 ) as claimed in  claim 4 , characterized in that the fluorescent and phosphorescent substance ( 6 ) is provided between two film layers ( 9 ,  10 ). 
     
     
         7 . The single serve capsule ( 1 ) as claimed in one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the fluorescent and phosphorescent substance is printed. 
     
     
         8 . The single serve capsule ( 1 ) as claimed in  claim 7 , characterized in that the fluorescent and phosphorescent substance is printed onto a film layer ( 9 ,  10 ). 
     
     
         9 . The single serve capsule as claimed in  claim 7 , characterized in that the fluorescent and phosphorescent substance ( 6 ) is at least partly surrounded by a filling layer ( 12 ). 
     
     
         10 . The single serve capsule ( 1 ) as claimed in  claim 1  characterized in that it has a decorative print ( 11 ). 
     
     
         11 . The single serve capsule ( 1 ) as claimed in  claim 10 , characterized in that the decorative print ( 11 ) at least partly covers the fluorescent and phosphorescent substance and/or the filling layer ( 12 ). 
     
     
         12 . The single serve capsule ( 1 ) as claimed in  claim 10 , characterized in that the decorative print ( 11 ) is connected to a film layer ( 10 ). 
     
     
         13 . The single serve capsule ( 1 ) as claimed in  claim 12 , characterized in that an adhesion promoter layer is provided between the decorative print ( 11 ) and the film layer ( 10 ). 
     
     
         14 . The single serve capsule ( 1 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that it has an axis of rotation ( 4 ) and in that the fluorescent and/or phosphorescent substance is provided rotationally symmetrically with respect to this axis of rotation. 
     
     
         15 . The single serve capsule ( 1 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that the identifier has two areas that are spaced apart from each other and are preferably provided concentrically in relation to each other. 
     
     
         16 . The single serve capsule ( 1 ) as claimed in  claim 15 , characterized in that the substance is different in the two areas. 
     
     
         17 . The single serve capsule ( 1 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that the layer thickness of the identifier is 1-4 μm, preferably 2-3 μm. 
     
     
         18 . The single serve capsule ( 1 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that the application of the identifier is 0.5-2 g/m 2 , preferably 0.8-1.6 g/m 2 , particularly preferably 1.0-1.4 g/m 2 .
