Capsule for preparing infusion beverages

1. A capsule for preparing infusion beverages comprising:

containing body with a side wall and an end wall, said containing body defining a longitudinal direction (L);

a cover;

said containing body and said cover being connected to each other at said side wall to form an inner chamber for containing an infusion product,

said end wall having,

a central section,

an outer section arranged around said central section,

a deformation section connecting said central and said outer sections such that said central and said outer sections are movable relative to each other via said deformation section for moving said capsule between,

a closed position, in which said central section is remote from said inner chamber, and

an open position, in which said central section is closer to said inner chamber than when in the closed position, and

a first opening for extracting said infusion beverage;

a closing layer in the form of a sheet arranged adjacent to said end wall for closing said inner chamber from said first opening for extraction, said closing layer having a bearing side and a perforation side;

perforation members arranged in said inner chamber adjacent to said perforation side of said closing layer to perforate said closing layer when said capsule is in said open position;

an inner wall arranged adjacent to said closing layer and crosswise to said longitudinal direction (L) to divide said inner chamber into an infusion chamber and an extraction chamber, said inner wall including a plurality of second openings fluidly connecting said infusion chamber with said extraction chamber; and

receiving openings to receive said perforation members, arranged adjacent to said bearing side of said closing layer,

said bearing side of said closing layer being arranged relative to said end wall and said inner wall such that, when said capsule is in said open position, said bearing side of said closing layer bears respectively against one of said inner wall or said end wall, in order for said perforation members to cooperate with said receiving openings and perforate said closing layer, said receiving openings being correspondingly arranged on one of said inner wall or said end wall.

2. The capsule according to claim 1 , wherein said perforation members are arranged on said inner wall facing said perforation side of said closing layer and said receiving openings are arranged on said end wall.

3. The capsule according to claim 2 , wherein said closing layer is connected to said deformation section.

4. The capsule according to claim 3 , wherein the bearing side of said closing layer is connected to a sealing shoulder provided on the deformation section of said end wall.

5. The capsule according to claim 1 , wherein said perforation members are arranged on said end wall facing said perforation side of said closing layer and said receiving openings are arranged on said inner wall.

6. The capsule according to claim 5 , wherein said perforation members are arranged on at least one of said deformation or central sections.

7. The capsule according to claim 1 , wherein said side wall and said inner wall are a single part and in that said end wall is a separate part connected to said side wall or said inner wall.

8. The capsule according to claim 1 , wherein said deformation section is made from a weakening in a wall thickness in combination with a reinforcing rip around a whole outer perimeter of said central section.

9. The capsule according to claim 1 , wherein the deformation section is plastically deformable.

10. The capsule according to claim 1 , wherein said closing layer arranged adjacent to said end wall is a sealing layer for sealingly closing said inner chamber from said first opening for extraction.
