The invention relates to an extraction module with linear closure for the pressurized preparation of a drink from a capsule, containing a substance for extraction, comprising means for extraction with a first extraction sub-assembly and a second mobile extraction sub-assembly closing against the first sub-assembly such as to form an extraction chamber in the closed position and to provide sufficient space between the two sub-assemblies for introduction of a capsule between the sub-assemblies in the open position and comprising a means for fixing and positioning the capsule between the two sub-assemblies. Said means for fixing and positioning may be displaced in a coaxial manner with relation to the linear displacement of the mobile extraction sub-assembly and is capable of being displaced linearly by the second mobile sub-assembly in to a displaced position such as to permit a closing of the two sub-assemblies around the capsule.

1. An extraction module for extraction, under pressure, for the preparation of a beverage from a capsule containing a substance to be extracted, the extraction module comprising: extraction means comprising a first extraction sub-assembly comprising a base and a second extraction sub-assembly that can move against the first sub-assembly so as to form, in a closed position, an extraction chamber enclosing the capsule in a closure plane, and so as, in an open position, to maintain an opening space between the two sub-assemblies to allow the capsule to be inserted between the two sub-assemblies,a means for holding and positioning the capsule, the holding and positioning means capable of being pushed back linearly by the second movable sub-assembly, mounted coaxially relative to the second movable sub-assembly, displaceable linearly along the same axis as the second movable sub-assembly, and configured between the two sub-assemblies when the capsule is inserted so as to partially close the opening space to hold the capsule between the two sub-assemblies even when the module is in an inclined position;the holding and positioning means mounted around the base of the first sub-assembly so as to be capable of being pushed back into a retracted position for allowing the two sub-assemblies to close around the capsule, the holding and positioning means comprising a single component able to hold the capsule in a centered position in the opening space along several axis in the closure plane; andcapsule ejection means for ejecting the capsule out of the module, wherein the holding and positioning means is locked, in the retracted position, when the extraction sub-assemblies are closed and is unlocked, in the holding position, only after the capsule has been ejected by the ejection means. 2. The extraction module according to claim 1, wherein the holding and positioning means has an open cylindrical portion for holding and centering the capsule and an annular guiding portion mounted around the base of the extraction sub-assembly. 3. The extraction module according to claim 1, wherein the ejection means for ejecting the capsule are operated, during opening, by the linear return action of the second, movable sub-assembly as it disengages from the first extraction sub-assembly. 4. The extraction module according to claim 1, wherein the unlocking of the holding and positioning means in the retracted position is achieved directly by the linear return action of the movable extraction sub-assembly as it disengages. 5. The extraction module according to claim 4, wherein the holding and positioning means is unlocked at the end of linear return travel of the second extraction sub-assembly. 6. The extraction module according to claim 1, wherein the ejection means are configured so as to eject the capsule out of the module in a direction other than the direction of insertion. 7. The extraction module according to claim 1, wherein the ejection means are elastically tensioned when the two extraction sub-assemblies are closed and freed from their elastic tension to cause ejection when the two sub-assemblies are reopened. 8. The extraction module according to claim 1, wherein the movable extraction sub-assembly has a linear actuation means of the piston type, which can be activated in closure by hydraulic or electric means. 9. The extraction module according to claim 1, wherein the first extraction sub-assembly is fixed. 10. The extraction module according to claim 6, wherein the ejection means are configured so as to eject the capsule out of the module in an opposite direction to that of the insertion. 11. An extraction module for the preparation of a beverage from a capsule, the extraction module comprising: a first extraction sub-assembly and a second extraction sub-assembly that can move against the first sub-assembly so as to form, in a closed position,an extraction chamber for enclosing the capsule in a closure plane and, in an open position, maintain an opening space between the two sub-assemblies to allow the capsule to be inserted between the two sub-assemblies,an assembly for holding and positioning the capsule between the two sub-assemblies, the assembly comprising a single component able to hold the capsule in a centered position in the opening space along several axis in the closure plane and being mounted coaxially relative to the second, movable sub-assembly, displaceable linearly along the same axis as the second, movable sub-assembly, and capable of being pushed back by the second, movable sub-assembly into a retracted position, allowing the two sub-assemblies to close around the capsule, anda capsule ejection mechanism for ejecting the capsule out of the module, wherein the holding and positioning assembly is locked, in the retracted position, when the extraction sub-assemblies are closed and is unlocked, in the holding position, only after the capsule has been ejected by the ejection mechanism.
