Device to produce milk-based drinks with a connection system and a coffee maker containing such a device

1. A milk-based drink production device designed to work with a steam output nozzle tip of a coffee maker, the milk-based drink production device comprising a steam input conduit and a connection system comprising at least one mobile jaw and fixed jaw in which the connection system is connected to the steam output nozzle tip wherein the at least one mobile jaw alternates between a connected position in which a watertight connection is formed between the steam output nozzle tip and the steam input conduit and in which the milk-based drink production device cannot be separated from the steam output nozzle tip, and a disconnected position in which the milk-based drink production device may be separated from the steam output nozzle tip,

wherein the mobile jaw is formed from a receptacle having an upper opening and a lateral conduit that extends from the receptacle to the steam input conduit,

wherein the steam output nozzle tip is inserted into the upper opening of the receptacle of the mobile jaw to connect the connection system to the coffee maker and, when making the connection to the coffee maker, the mobile jaw moves vertically against the fixed jaw that is positioned above the mobile jaw in a cover of the milk-based drink production device, and

wherein the mobile jaw contains at least two trunnions, and the connection system further comprises a transfer piece that is mounted to rotate on the cover and which comprises at least two parallel, lateral partitions and at least two housings that match the trunnions formed on the mobile jaw.

2. The milk-based drink production device in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the mobile jaw can be linearly displaced.

3. The milk-based drink production device in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the connection system contains a means of manipulating the mobile jaw.

4. The milk-based drink production device in accordance with claim 3 , wherein the means of manipulating for the mobile jaw includes a lever.

5. The milk-based drink production device in accordance with claim 4 , wherein the milk-based drink production device contains a bottom on which the milk-based drink production device rests and wherein a force applied on the lever to displace the mobile jaw between the disconnected position and the connected position traverses the bottom.

6. The milk-based drink production device in accordance with claim 4 , wherein the milk-based drink production device contains a reservoir for milk and a cover, with the connection system located on the cover.

7. The milk-based drink production device in accordance with claim 6 , wherein the lever is positioned on an upper face of the cover and wherein the lever rotates between an opened position in which the mobile jaw is in the disconnected position and a folded position on the cover in which the mobile jaw is in the connected position.

8. The milk-based drink production device in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the connection system contains a housing to accept a conical form designed to guide the steam output nozzle tip into the mobile jaw when making a connection.

9. The coffee maker with a milk-based drink production device in accordance with claim 1 .

10. The coffee maker in accordance with claim 9 , wherein the steam output nozzle tip is bent down.

11. The coffee maker in accordance with claim 10 , wherein the milk-based drink production device moves horizontally toward the coffee maker to position the steam output nozzle tip between the fixed jaw and the mobile jaw.

12. The coffee maker in accordance with claim 9 , wherein the steam output nozzle tip contains a watertight connection to create a watertight connection between the steam output nozzle tip and the steam input conduit.
