Container for dispensing a substance

1. A capsule adapted to be inserted into a dispensing device for a preparation of edible/drinkable products, comprising:

a body defining a filling cavity filled with substance, said body comprises a liquid-discharging portion provided at a first end of said body through which said substance is discharged from said body whenever said liquid-discharging portion becomes unsealed, and an accessing region provided at a second end of said, body through which said capsule is actuated to discharge the substance, wherein said liquid-discharging portion includes a dispensing channel in fluid communication with the cavity, wherein said dispensing channel extends from the body of said capsule at the first end, wherein the substance is discharged through said dispensing channel upon unsealing at least one passage opening at said dispensing channel that is sealed by a break-off closure, such that by folding or breaking said break-off closure said at least one passage opening becomes unsealed; and

at least one separator slidably mounted in said body, wherein said separator is adapted to slide in a liquid discharging direction in order to discharge said substance through said liquid-discharging portion, whenever an actuation of said separator is applied through the accessing region.

2. The capsule according to claim 1 , in which the liquid-discharging portion includes an opening at the first end of said cavity and an integral planar circumferential rim surrounding said opening, wherein said opening and said planar circumferential rim being covered by a cover sheet, which is sealed to said planar circumferential rim at a circumferential sealing seam, wherein the substance is discharged through said opening upon forming at least one passage opening at said cover sheet.

3. The capsule according to claim 2 , in which the at least one passage opening is formed by perforating the cover sheet.

4. The capsule according to claim 1 , in which the liquid-discharging portion includes:

an opening at the first end of the filling cavity of said capsule;

an integral planar circumferential rim surrounding said opening;

a dispensing channel in fluid communication with said cavity and extending from said opening by said planar circumferential rim; and

a cover that covers said opening, said planar circumferential rim and said dispensing channel,

wherein the substance is discharged through said dispensing channel upon unsealing/forming at least one passage opening at said dispensing channel.

5. The capsule according to claim 4 , in which the cover is in form of a thin layer that is sealed to the planar circumferential rim at a circumferential sealing seam.

6. The capsule according to claim 5 , in which the at least passage opening is unsealed/formed by peeling off at least a portion of the thin layer that seals the, dispensing channel.

7. The capsule according to claim 4 , in which the cover is made of material(s) selected from the group consisting of metal or plastic, in particular an aluminum foil or a plastic foil.

8. The capsule according to claim 4 , in which the dispensing channel includes an operable closure which seals the at least one passage opening at said dispensing channel, such that by applying force on one or more sections of said closure said at least one passage opening becomes unsealed.

9. The capsule according to claim 4 , in which the dispensing channel having a funnel form or a semi conical form, thereby enabling to facilitate the discharging of the substance.

10. The capsule according to claim 1 , in which the capsule includes identification means that corresponds to a specific substance contained in said capsule, thereby allowing a dispensing device loaded with said capsule to automatically identify said capsule and the substance stored therein.

11. The capsule according to claim 1 , in which the body further comprising one or more alignment rails parallel deployed along the length of said body, to correctly insert said capsule into a corresponding dispensing device and to act as reinforcement beams in order to prevent deformation of the structure of the body of said capsule.

12. The capsule according to claim 1 , in which the capsule is used for the preparation of more than one dose or cup by using more than one separator slidably mounted in the body of said capsule, wherein the separators are space apart in a way that the separators divide the cavity of the capsule into two or more compartments each of which adapted to store substance, either the same substance or different substance in each compartment.

13. The capsule according to claim 1 , in which the separator having a disk-like form.

14. A dispensing device adapted to receive and actuate the capsule of claim 1 for the preparation of edible/drinkable products, comprising: a water source for feeding water through one or more dispensing pipes to a cup or a serving container that is adapted to be filled with a drink or a thick-food product, a receiving and actuating unit adapted to receive and actuate the capsule, wherein said receiving and actuating unit includes a power unit for activating a first actuator adapted to cause the discharging of the substance stored within said capsule, by pushing the separator that is slidably mounted in the body of said capsule in a liquid discharging direction, either directly or indirectly, towards the liquid discharging portion of said capsule.

15. The device according to claim 14 , in which the water source is a water storage tank or a water supply line.

16. The device according to claim 14 , further comprising a platform for placing the cup.

17. The device according to claim 14 , in which the dispensing pipes dispense either warm water, cold water, carbonated water, ambient water or any kind of other liquids such as alcoholic, beer or natural liquids.

18. the device according to claim 14 , in which the first actuator is adapted to engage an outer surface of the separator of the capsule through.an accessing region at the body of said capsule.

19. The device according to claim 14 , in which the power unit includes at least one of the following activating means: pneumatic means;

hydraulic means, linear electric motor, hand driven, or any combination thereof.

20. The device according to claim 14 , further comprises identification recognition means for automatically identifying the capsule and its content.
