CARTRIDGE POSITIONING SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A47J31/36 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a device for extracting an ingredient in a cartridge by supplying an extraction liquid, for example hot water, into cartridge, comprising: upstream and downstream enclosing devices, relatively movable between an open position and a closed position, for forming an extraction chamber enclosing such cartridge during beverage extraction; a cartridge handling arrangement including a cartridge retaining element, in particular a retainer,in particular, a retainer, connected or made integral with upstream and downstream enclosing device and serving for producing a cartridge and holding cartridge against falling under gravity when inserted and descending under gravity between enclosing devices in open position prior to forming extraction chamber. Handling arrangement also includes one cartridge positioning element, which horizontally guides cartridge upon reception by holder in a cartridge extraction alignment between upstream and downstream closing devices.

EFFECT: positioning element provides for tight arrangement of capsules in extraction chamber, increasing operating safety of device as a whole.
