Definitions

  • This invention relates to packages for use in the infusion of various substances.
  • the package is particularly useful in the preparation of beverages formed from infusions of tea, coffee, herbs etc., although it could also be used for making infusions of any infusible substances which can be contained in a porous bag.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a new and inventive form of infusion package, in which: a) the package enables the infusion process to be controlled such that a good strong infusion may be obtained when required, or a weaker one if the user so wishes; b) the bag is easy to retrieve from the infusion liquid at the end of the infusion process; c) the bag can be effectively squeezed to expel excess liquid when infusion is complete; and d) if draw strings are used, the risk of entanglement is greatly reduced.
  • the present invention provides an infusion package including:
  • an elongate and substantially rigid tubular handle having first and second ends, said bag being carried at said first end of the handle whereby the handle can be used to move the bag into and out of an infusion liquid;
  • the arrangement firmly holds the bag whilst at the same time allowing good circulation of liquid.
  • the handle provides very accurate control over the infusion process and the pulling element or elements allow effective squeezing of the bag to expel liquid both during and after infusion.
  • the handle may be used to knead the bag and increase the flow of liquid through the contents during infusion.
  • each pulling element is in the form of a cord or string
  • the risk of entanglement is small since the pulling element or elements may be substantially enclosed by the handle.
  • Figure 1 is a general view of a first form of infusion package in accordance with the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a general view of a second form of infusion package in accordance with the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • Fig. 1 shows an infusion package 1 which is intended to be used once and then discarded.
  • the infusion package includes a bag 2, a pair of pulling strips 3 and 4, a tubular handle 5 and a grasping tab 6.
  • the bag 2 is formed of a tubular section 8 of liquid-permeable paper or other porous material.
  • the tubular section 8 could be formed of a flat strip which is held in a tubular configuration by means of a side seam 9.
  • the section of tube is closed at its upper end by a top seam 11.
  • the bottom end is closed by another seam 12 which, in this example, extends substantially perpendicular to the top seam 11 when viewed along the axis of the tubular section 8.
  • the present bag is thus generally tetrahedral, although it will also be appreciated that the seams 11 and 12 could be substantially parallel in the manner of a pillow.
  • the bag 22 may formed of a flattened tubular section 28 of liquid- permeable paper or other porous material, which is closed at its upper end by a top seam 31.
  • the bottom end may be closed by another seam 32 which, in this example, extends substantially parallel to the top seam 31 when viewed along the axis of the tubular section 28.
  • the bag could also be generally tetrahedral, as described above. It is also possible to form the bag from a single sheet folded double or from two superimposed sheets sealed along opposed peripheral edges.
  • the bag could be of any peripheral shape, although rectangular or circular shapes are most commonly used.
  • the bag can contain any of the filling materials discussed above.
  • the infusion package is used in the manner described above. Again, when the infusion process is complete the handle can ' be used to lift the package from the water, and the tab 26 can be pulled away from the handle so that the bottom seam of the bag is drawn towards the top seam expelling surplus liquid from the bag.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un emballage pour infusion, qui comprend un sachet (2), tel qu'un sachet de thé, présentant une paire de bandes de traction (3 et 4) fixées à une couture de fond (12) s'étendant sur des côtés opposés du sachet. Les bandes (3 et 4) passent à travers une poignée tubulaire (5) terminant une languette de traction (6). Une traction de la languette (6) depuis la poignée peut comprimer le sachet (2) pour faciliter l'infusion et exprimer le liquide en excès du sachet, après usage. Des ficelles peuvent être utilisées à la place des bandes plates et passer à travers le sachet ou par un chemin extérieur.
