| 摘要 |
The brewing apparatus (1) comprises a guide and support structure (2), that bears a movable receiving assembly (7) capable of receiving a capsule or similar (10), containing a quantity or measure of a substance for the preparation of a beverage, and a substantially stationary cooperating assembly (6). The movable assembly (7) is able to assume a closed position in which it is coupled with the cooperating assembly (6) to create a brewing chamber, and a separated open position. Between such assemblies (6, 7) there is a gripping device (20) including a pair of movable jaws, capable of assuming a relative retaining position in which they are capable of receiving and retaining a capsule or similar (10) inserted between said assemblies (6, 7) while the latter are in the separated open position. The jaws (21) can be parted by respective pusher members (23) of the movable assembly (7) to release the capsule (10) retained, when the receiving assembly (7) is at least close to the closed position, to allow a capsule (10) to be positioned in the brewing chamber. |

1. A brewing apparatus (1) for a machine for preparing beverages, comprising:
an operationally stationary guide and support structure (2), that bears a movable receiving assembly (7) configured to receive a capsule or similar (10), containing a quantity or measure of a substance for the preparation of a beverage; a substantially stationary cooperating assembly (6), movable receiving assembly (7) being configured to assume a closed position in which it is coupled with the stationary cooperating assembly (6) to create with this a brewing chamber, and a separated open position; a gripping device between said stationary cooperating assembly and said movable receiving assemblies (6, 7), the gripping device (20) including a pair of movable jaws, configured to assume a relative retaining position in which they are configured to receive and retain a capsule or similar (10) inserted between said assemblies (6, 7) while the latter are in the separated open position, said jaws (21) being operable to be parted by respective pusher members (23) of the movable receiving assembly (7) to release the capsule (10) retained, when said movable receiving assembly (7) is at least close to the closed position, to allow the capsule (10) to be positioned in the brewing chamber, wherein the pusher members (23) are provided with respective transversely protruding parting formations (24) having respective first and second pushing surfaces (24a, 24b) configured to part said jaws (21) when the movable receiving assembly (7) moves towards and away from the closed position, respectively, and wherein that the parting formations (24) are configured to move past the jaws (21) when the movable receiving assembly (7) reaches the closed position, and to move back past the jaws (21) in the opposite direction when the movable receiving assembly (7) moves away from the closed position. |
