Extraction system for the production of a drink using a capsule

Abstract

System for preparing drinks from a capsule comprising: a capsule including a body comprising an injection face and an extraction face with an opening and terminating in a collar and a portion for delivery of the drink; the collar terminating in a free edge; a device for preparing drinks comprising: a first chamber portion comprising a cavity of a shape suitable for substantially covering the body of the capsule and a clamping surface which is engaged in compression against the collar, and a second chamber portion comprising an extraction plate, at least one of the two chamber portions being able to move relative to the other chamber portion from an open position in which the capsule is inserted to a closed position in which the capsule is enclosed between the two chamber portions, the first chamber portion comprising means for hooking the capsule making it possible to keep the capsule in the said cavity of the said first portion during the transition from the closed position to the open position; the capsule comprising complementary means suitable for the takeover by these hooking means.

The invention is claimed as follows: 
     
         1 . A device for preparing drinks from a capsule containing a dose of ingredients comprising:
 a device for preparing drinks comprising: a frame, a guide for allowing the insertion of the capsule into the device, a first chamber portion comprising a cavity of a shape suitable for covering the body of the capsule, a second chamber portion comprising an extraction plate furnished with orifices for the discharge of the drink passing through the delivery portion on the side of the extraction face, at least one of the two chamber portions being able to move relative to the other chamber portion from an open position in which the capsule is inserted to a closed position in which the capsule is enclosed between the two chamber portions, and the first chamber portion comprises a hook for hooking the capsule making it possible to keep the capsule in the cavity of the first chamber portion during the transition from the closed position to the open position.
