Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021165866A1] A capsule (1) is proposed comprising a casing (2) that extends about an axis (Z), which comprises a base wall (201 ) and a side wall (202) defining a cavity (203) containing an initial product to be joined to a fluid to obtain a final product, and a flanged edge (212) extending from said side wall (202) and comprising, at the outer end, an annular bead (205). A covering element (3) is fixed to the flanged edge (212) to close the cavity (203); a sealing element (4) is associated with the flanged edge (212) to make a fluidic seal with a dispensing machine. The casing (2) is made of aluminium and the sealing element (4) comprises a cellulose-based ring (401). The flanged edge (212) comprises a first portion (211) which comprises the annular bead (205) and a second portion (207) contiguous with the side wall (202), which is annular and lies on a first plane; the first portion (211) is contained in a half-space, defined by the first plane and facing the base wall (201), extends in a direction parallel to the axis (Z) towards the base wall (201) as far as a free edge (205') of the annular bead (205) and is defined without discontinuity from a border (2') of the casing (2) as far as the second portion (207) through the annular bead (205), between the first portion (211) and the side wall (202) facing the first portion (211), a recess (210) being defined in which the ring (401) is accommodated, the free edge (205') of the annular bead (205) being at a respective first distance (D1) from the first plane that is greater than or the same as the thickness of the ring (401), so that the recess (210) contains the ring (401) entirely.
