SYSTEM WITH CAPSULE HAVING SEALING MEANS

摘要

A system comprising: - a capsule-based beverage producing device, and - a capsule for containing beverage ingredients, wherein the beverage production device (2) is provided with: - means for injecting a liquid into the capsule (1) - means for draining a beverage from the capsule (1), and - an enclosing member (9) transferable from an opened state to a defined closed state, in which the enclosing member (9) enclose the outer surface of the capsule (1). A sealing member (8, 11, 26) is associated to the capsule (1), the sealing member (8, 11, 26) being compressible when engaged by the enclosing member (9) in the closed state and the sealing member being effective to compensate for the clearance between the enclosing member and the capsule (1); which clearance would exist without the sealing member of the capsule (1),when the enclosing member (9) is in its defined closed position.
