Refill container for a drink dispenser with closure which is detached when being introduced into the dispenser

摘要

Provided is a device for the automatic dispensing of drinks, sauces, and in particular soluble pulverulent substances (Figure 1), as well as to refilled cartridges (2) that are open as they are inserted into the dispensing device, without the need to open the cartridge prior to insertion into the dispensing device or the need for a cutting system housed inside the device to open the cartridge. The refill cartridge has a closing means (25) comprising a means (26) making it possible to detach the closing means (25) at least partially under the effect of the introduction of the refill cartridge into the dispensing device. Preferably the cartridge is provided with guide edges (21) and closing means (25) is a flexible film joined by adhesion or sealing to the guide edges (21), in such way that the closing means (25) is detached as a result of delamination of at least one portion of the film (25) along the edges (21) of the cartridge. One embodiment is depicted in Figure 2, where refill cartridge 20 is inserted into slot 14 of the dispensing device (13) and edge 140 of the dispensing device causes the portion 26 of the cartridge to pull away from the cartridge delaminating the film 25 acting as a closing means for the cartridge.
