A brewing module for preparing a brewed drink from a portion capsule, includes a first brewing module part and a second brewing module part, which is movable relative to a housing between a first brewing module part position and a second brewing module part position. An operating element is able to be brought manually from a first into a second operating element position, from which a movement is transmitted via a transmission mechanism into a movement of the second brewing module part. The transmission mechanism includes a cam disc that is rotatably mounted on the housing by the operating element wherein the second brewing module part is displaceable along a displacement stretch, which is fixed with respect to the housing, from a first brewing module part position into the second brewing module part position by way of the cam disc being rotated by the operating element.

Brewing module and drinks preparation machine

A brewing module for preparing a brewed drink from a portion capsule, includes a first brewing module part and a second brewing module part, which is movable relative to the housing between a first brewing module part position and a second brewing module part position, wherein a brewing chamber is formed in the second brewing module part position. Furthermore, an operating element is able to be brought manually from a first into a second operating element position, from which a movement is transmitted via a transmission mechanism into a movement of the second brewing module part. The brewing module further includes a damping device for damping the movement of the second brewing module part. This damping device is designed such that it has non-constant damping characteristics as a function of the position and/or as a function of the movement direction.

An actuator includes a housing, a first nut in the housing, a second nut in the housing, and a threaded spindle screwed into the first nut and the second nut. The first nut exerts a first force in a first direction on the threaded spindle, and the second nut exerts a second force in a second direction on the threaded spindle, the first direction being different than the second direction.

Actuator

A driving device of a metering and mixing apparatus for multi-component substances is disclosed, which driving device can have at least two cartridge holders for holding interchangeable cartridges with individual substance components, a discharging apparatus for simultaneously discharging the substance components from the cartridges through component outlets with the aid of discharging pistons entering the cartridge holder or cartridges, and a mixing apparatus which is connected to the component outlets, for mixing the discharged substance components and discharging the latter in mixed form, and a transmission unit for the connection of a drive motor, wherein the transmission unit can have a detector for detecting at least one counter pressure which builds up during the discharging of at least one of the substance components, and a controller, which is connected on an inlet side to the detector for bringing about a driving control function in response to a detection result.

Driving device of a metering and mixing apparatus

Cartridge assembly

A drive apparatus of a metering and mixing device is provided for multi-component materials, for example, for multi-component adhesives. The metering and mixing device can have at least two cartridge-accommodating devices for accommodating replaceable cartridges having individual material components, and a discharging device for simultaneously discharging the material components from the cartridges through the component outlets by discharging plungers that plunge into the cartridge-accommodating device and a mixing device. A transmission unit connects a drive machine, and has a coupling for forced connection of a discharge of at least two material components by correspondingly synchronized actuation of discharging plungers by respective discharging rods.

Adapter

Dispenser for curable compositions

An application device for multi-component substances, such as adhesives or sealants, having at least two interconnected cartridge receiving devices for receiving replaceable cartridges containing components to be mixed. One cartridge has a rigid outside wall, including a drive device for expelling the components in predetermined quantity ratios through outlets with the aid of pistons. A mixing device, connected to the outlets, mixes the expelled components and discharges them in a mixed state. At least one of the cartridge receiving devices can be loaded with cartridges on the discharge side. At least one of the cartridge receiving devices supports a cartridge having a rigid outside wall. A cover adapter is provided on the discharge side on the at least two cartridge receiving devices, and a cartridge cover is provided to receive or attach the replaceable mixing device.
