Definitions

• the present invention relates to a kit for preparing beverages and/or infusions made from soluble food products, which can be mixed or diluted in water.
• embodiments consisting of receptacles wherein the food can be contained for its subsequent consumption, but there is the need for a container which at the same time as incorporating said food therein, facilitates its consumption in a more comfortable way and, once consumption has been concluded, allows for everything relating to its use to be dispensed with, thus reducing to the maximum the waste caused by its consumption.
• the present invention has put forward, as its main aim, that of developing a kit by means of which effective solutions are provided to the problems of current practice.
• kits object of the present invention is disclosed herein.
• Said -kit is of the kind used for preparing beverages and/or infusions made from soluble food products, which can be mixed or diluted in water.
• the kit for preparing beverages and/or infusions made from soluble food products is characterised in that it is comprised of a single-use container, which contains at least one base food product of the beverage to be prepared, such as, for example, coffee or infusions; at least one sweetener, such as, for example, sugar; and one stirring utensil, such as a teaspoon, for example.
• Said container is comprised of at least one flexible sheet, hermetically sealed by at least one of its edges, like a small bag or sachet, containing in its interior the food products, the sweeteners and the stirring utensil. It may also be comprised of an essentially rigid cup, whose mouth is closed by a sheet, in the form of a lid.
• the container is comprised of a tray, provided with independent receptacles moulded into it, adapted for containing the food products, the sweeteners and the stirring utensil and closed by a sheet, in the form of a Nd.
• Fig. 1 is a plan view of a preferred embodiment of the kit for preparing beverages made from soluble food products
• Fig. 2 corresponds to another plan view of another preferred embodiment of the kit for preparing beverages made from soluble food products
• Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the embodiment in Fig. 2 with the receptacles empty
• Fig. 4 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the kit for preparing beverages made from soluble food products
• Fig. 5 shows an side elevation view of a section of the embodiment in Fig. 4;
• Fig. 6 and 7 also correspond to perspective views of the kit according to the invention.
• Fig. 8 also shows, in perspective, another preferred embodiment of the kit for preparing beverages made from soluble food products.
• Kit 1 for- preparing beverages and/or infusions made from soluble food products, and specifically, those of kits 1 which, as embodiments, are described herein.
• the kit 1 object of the present invention comprises a container 2 in the form of a tray 11 that comprises receptacles 12 for housing a food product 3, a sweetener 4 and a stirring utensil 5.
• the tray 11 has a triangular configuration, although several other forms would be within the field of the present invention, such as circular and prismatic ones, etc.
• the tray 11 comprises, in one of the receptacles 12, a food product 3 and a stirring utensil 5, arranged together, one on top of the other.
• the food products 3 generally used, correspond to a measure of ground coffee, a measure of powdered milk or an infusion such as tea, camomile tea, boldo, mint tea, etc.
• a stirring utensil 5 generally a teaspoon or other elongated utensil is arranged therein, which is to help dissolve the beverage components.
• the other receptacles 13, which appear in Fig. 1 are for containing a measure of sweetener 4, such as saccharin, fructose or sugar, in granulated or in lump form.
• kits 1 for preparing beverages and/or infusions are illustrated in Fig. 2, wherein the tray 11 is rectangular shaped and is fitted with three receptacles 12 distributed in a different way, in which a food product 3, a stirring utensil 5 and a sweetener 4 are arranged separately.
• a food product 3 a stirring utensil 5 and a sweetener 4 are arranged separately.
• an unfolded sheet 10 is arranged and stuck onto the tray 11 in such a way that it acts as a lid to the receptacles 12 when closing the mouths 9 thereof, thus preventing the elements deposited therein from coming out.
• the kit 1 consists of a flexible sheet 6 - A -
• the food products, the sweeteners and stirring utensils are arranged within the flexible sheet and separated from each other, generally being packaged independently.
• the kit 1 for preparing beverages and/or infusions is comprised of a cup 7 of essentially rigid material, such as, for example, plastic, whose mouth 9 is closed by a sheet 10 in the form of a lid.
• a cup 7 of essentially rigid material such as, for example, plastic
• the sheet 10 is in closed position insulating the elements from the exterior.
• the different elements are arranged independently and easily separable, being able to be in different compartments 13 or together in the cup 7, although suitably packed.
• the sweetener 4 is sugar, it can be presented in sugar lump form and the food product 3 can be wrapped in a second disposable receptacle, such as a bag of permeable material to make infusions or other arrangements which allow for desired preparation of the drink.
• a container 2 is represented in Fig. 7, comprised of a cup 7 which comprises two compartments 13.
• the first compartment 13 the food product 3 has been arranged, and the second compartment 13 contains the stirring utensil 5 and sweetener unit 4.
• the second compartment 13, can be extracted from the first compartment 13, which has greater volume, the latter being used as a cup 7 for the consumption of the prepared beverage.
• the stirring utensil 5 is also single-use.
• the flexible sheet 6 or the sheet in the form of a lid 10 should contain an identifying inscription of the food product 3 contained therein, just like an inscription of any commercial name.
• the present invention therefore, relates to a kit 1 for preparing beverages and/or infusions made from soluble food products, which can be mixed or diluted in water, which is totally hygienic due to its disposable nature when used once only. It is also outstanding for its practicality, as it allows for the preparation of several beverages, having whatever is required at hand and thus increasing the speed of preparation thereof.
• Another practical effect of the kit 1 object of the invention is that it eases the work of the distributor, who currently receives the food products 3, the sweeteners 4 and the stirring utensils 5 separately, and in a subsequent action has to count and group them.
