Abstract

Capsule for infusion products comprising: a cup-shaped body provided with a first base wall and with a first side wall defining a cavity open at the top; a tubular body arranged in the cup-shaped body and provided with at least a second side wall, which originates from the first base wall of the cup-shaped body, is provided with one end and defines a passage duct; and a first closing element arranged in contact with the side wall of the cup-shaped body to close the cavity. The capsule for infusion products also includes a second closing element arranged at the end of the tubular body to close the passage duct. The first closing element and the second closing element are in particular permanently connected to one another to rise both together, in use, thus freeing the end of the tubular body.

1 . A capsule for infusion products comprising:
 a cup-shaped body including a first base wall and first side wall defining a cavity, a top of the cavity being open;   a tubular body arranged in the cup-shaped body, the tubular body including at least one second wall originating from the first base wall of the cup-shaped body, the at least one second wall including an end and defines a passage duct;   a first closing element arranged in contact with the side wall of the cup-shaped body to close the cavity; and   a second closing element arranged at the end of the tubular body to close the passage duct, the first closing element and the second closing element being permanently connected to one another to rise together in use to free the end of the tubular body.   
     
     
         2 . The capsule of  claim 1 , wherein the second closing element is one of welded to and glued to the first closing element.
