Abstract:
The invention relates to a valve fitment (6; 60) for a collapsible fluid dispensing package for dispensing fluid by relative pressure present in the package; the valve fitment comprising: —at least a compressible wedge-like spout (9; 9′, 9″); —a sealing base (10) arranged for sealing engagement with the container at a seal edge (5); wherein the wedge-like spout (9; 9′, 9″) is located within a passage (11; 11′, 11″) formed through the sealing base (10) and, wherein sealing base is preferably of higher rigidity than the wedge-like spout (9; 9′, 9″). The invention also relates to a fluid dispensing package (1) comprising the valve fitment (6; 60).

Abstract:
An optically readable code support to be associated with or be part of a capsule intended for delivering a beverage in a beverage producing device, the support including at least one sequence of symbols represented on the support so that each symbol is sequentially readable by a reading arrangement of an external reading device while the capsule is driven in rotation along an axis of rotation. The symbols are essentially formed of a succession of light reflective surface portions and light absorbing surface portions. The light absorbing surface portions provide a lower light-reflective intensity than the light-reflective surface portions, and the code support includes at least one base layer extending continuously at least along the sequence of symbols. The light-absorbing surface portions are roughened surface portions having a higher rugosity (Rz) than the light-reflective surface portions.
Abstract:
An optically readable code support to be associated with or be part of a capsule intended for delivering a beverage in a beverage producing device by centrifugation of the capsule, the support including at least one sequence of binary symbols represented on the support so that each symbol is sequentially readable by a reading arrangement of an external reading device while the capsule is driven in rotation along an axis of rotation. The binary symbols are essentially formed of light reflective surfaces and light absorbing surfaces. The code support preferably includes a base structure extending continuously at least along the sequence of symbols and discontinuous discrete light-absorbing portions locally applied onto or formed at the surface of said base structure. The discontinuous discrete light-absorbing portions form the light-absorbing surfaces and the base structure forms the light-reflective surfaces outside the surface areas occupied by the discrete light-absorbing portions.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a cap (10) for receptacles (20) such as e.g. glass jars, comprising a cap base body (11) with a fixing means (13) for enabling the cap (10) to be removably attached on the receptacles (20), a backing layer (2) made from a deformable material, and a sealable, preferably heat-sealable membrane (3) not being glued to the backing layer (2), wherein both the backing layer (2) and the membrane (3) are retained inside the cap (10) via a retention portion (18) extending from an inner side wall (14) of the cap (10). The invention is further directed to a receptacle (20) having said cap (10) for closing it, and is also directed to a method for providing the cap (10) with a sealing element (1) and for providing said cap (10) onto the receptacle (20).
Abstract:
A capsule (1) comprising •a side wall (2a), a bottom wall (2b), a mouth opening (2c) and a flange-like rim (2d) extending outwardly, and •an upper wall (3) attached to the flange-like rim (2d) and/or to the side wall (2a) and at least partially covering the mouth opening (2c) •the upper wall (3) comprising a central liquid inlet (6) for injection of liquid in the capsule and a peripheral portion of wall (3a) comprising outlet apertures (5) for beverage to leave the capsule and •an annular engagement portion (10) located at least between the peripheral portion (3a) and the inlet (6) and arranged to form an inwardly protruding inlet flange (7) by a predefined design or by deformation upon introduction of a dedicated injection member (20) of a beverage preparation device through the inlet (6); such inlet flange (7) providing a liquid-tight sealing interaction with the outer surface of the injection member (20).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a modular capsule kit for preparing a beverage by centrifugation of a capsule in a centrifuging brewing device upon liquid injection into the capsule and by rotating the capsule about its central axis in the device, the kit comprising at least two capsule types (1a,1b,1c,1d,1e) having:—interface heads (2) comprising a flange-like rim portion (3) and a transversal wall (4) having a central liquid inlet (5) and peripheral outlet openings (6), and—bottom closures (8,8′) designed for being individually connected to the interface head (2) to enclose an ingredients compartment (9) of predefined volume, wherein the volumes of the ingredient compartment (9) of the at least two capsules (1a,1b,1c,1d,1e) differ as a result of the selection of the bottom closure and/or its particular connection to the interface head.
Abstract:
An optically readable code support (30) to be associated with or be part of a capsule indented for delivering a beverage in a beverage producing device by centrifugation of the capsule, the support comprising at least one sequence of binary symbols represented on the support so that each symbol is sequentially readable by a reading arrangement of an external reading device while the capsule is driven in rotation along an axis of rotation, wherein the binary symbols are essentially formed of light reflective surfaces (400-403) and light absorbing surfaces (410-414). The code support preferably comprises a base structure (500) extending continuously at least along said sequence of symbols and discontinuous discrete light-absorbing portions (528) locally applied onto or formed at the surface of said base structure; wherein the discontinuous discrete light-absorbing portions form the light-absorbing surfaces and the base structure (500) forms the light-reflective surfaces (400-403) outside the surface areas occupied by the discrete light-absorbing portions; said discrete light-absorbing portions (410-414) are arranged to provide a lower light-reflectivity than the one of the base structure outside the surface areas occupied by the discrete light-absorbing portions.
