System for preparing drinks from a capsule comprising: a capsule (1) including a body comprising an injection face and an extraction face with an opening and terminating in a collar (5) and a portion for delivery of the drink; the collar terminating in a free edge (8); a device for preparing drinks
System for preparing drinks from a capsule comprising: a capsule (1) including a body comprising an injection face and an extraction face with an opening and terminating in a collar (5) and a portion for delivery of the drink; the collar terminating in a free edge (8); a device for preparing drinks comprising: a first chamber portion (14) comprising a cavity of a shape suitable for substantially covering the body of the capsule and a clamping surface (23) which is engaged in compression against the collar, and a second chamber portion comprising an extraction plate, at least one of the two chamber portions being able to move relative to the other chamber portion from an open position in which the capsule is inserted to a closed position in which the capsule is enclosed between the two chamber portions, the first chamber portion (14) comprising means (32, 38) for hooking the capsule making it possible to keep the capsule in the said cavity of the said first portion during the transition from the closed position to the open position; the capsule comprising complementary means (8, 39) suitable for the takeover by these hooking means.

1. A system for preparing drinks, the system comprising: a capsule containing a dose of ingredients, the capsule including a body in the form of a truncated cone comprising an injection face and an extraction face with an opening on the wider side and terminating in a collar, a portion for delivery
1. A system for preparing drinks, the system comprising: a capsule containing a dose of ingredients, the capsule including a body in the form of a truncated cone comprising an injection face and an extraction face with an opening on the wider side and terminating in a collar, a portion for delivery of the drink closing at least partially the opening in the body; the collar comprising a base portion connected to the body and terminating in a free edge; the collar of the capsule comprising a seal fitted to or forming an integral part of the collar; anda device for preparing drinks, the device comprising: a frame,a guide for allowing the capsule to be inserted into the device,a first chamber portion comprising a cavity of a shape suitable for covering the body of the capsule, a liquid injector and a clamping edge which interacts in engagement with the seal of the collar,a second chamber portion comprising an extraction plate,at least one of the two chamber portions being able to move relative to the other chamber portion from an open position in which the capsule is inserted to a closed position in which the capsule is enclosed between the two chamber portions,the first chamber portion comprising a hook member for hooking the capsule making it possible to keep the capsule in the cavity of the first chamber portion during the transition from the closed position to the open position, the capsule comprising a complementary member suitable for attaching to the hook member, anda release mechanism configured to release the capsule by acting on at least one of the capsule and the hook member in order to release the capsule from the first chamber portion, the capsule then being able to fall by its own weight, the release mechanism comprising an abutment surface in the frame configured to contact the free edge of the collar and further comprising a lateral recess in the frame positioned to allow the hook member to pass while the collar of the capsule is stopped by the abutment surface. 2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the free edge of the collar comprises a bulge portion, forming at least one portion of the complementary member, which is arranged so as to be able to be clipped into hook member formed by at least one hook situated on the outer edge of the first chamber portion and protruding from the clamping edge of the first chamber portion. 3. The system according to claim 2, wherein the bulge portion of the free edge of the collar forms a toroidal edge with a diameter designed to be ratcheted into at least two hooks situated in an angularly distant manner on the outer edge of the first chamber portion. 4. The system according to claim 3, wherein the collar has a maximum diameter of approximately 37 mm and a maximum thickness of 0.5 to 2 mm. 5. The system according to claim 3, wherein the hook member comprises at least two diametrically opposed hooks on the periphery of the outer edge of the chamber portion. 6. The system according to claim 1, wherein the hook member comprises at least one protruding ridge portion extending from the inner surface of the cavity to the inside of the cavity in order to delimit a restricted opening section of cavity, the capsule comprising a frustoconical wall portion on the side of the body, forming the other portion of the complementary member, in order to deform without breaking on contact with the protruding ridge portion, and the frustoconical wall portion forming a portion with a section larger than the section of the cavity restricted by the at least one ridge so as to deform when the capsule is placed in the cavity. 7. The system according to claim 6, wherein the capsule portion has a thickness of between 0.2 and 1 mm. 8. The system according to claim 1, wherein the cavity has a frustoconical shape and is wider than the capsule, the body of the capsule being dimensioned so as to release an interstice of 2 to 10 mm at a maximum between its surface and the surface of the cavity. 9. The system according to claim 1, wherein the clamping edge of the first chamber portion comprises slots extending radially and/or towards the inside of the cavity, and partly covers at least the seal, which is designed to deform and fill by compression, on a peripheral line at least, the slots in order to provide a seal between the capsule and the first chamber portion during the closure of the first and second chamber portions around the capsule and/or when the seal comes into contact with the injected liquid. 10. The system according to claim 9, wherein the seal is formed by a ring in relief fixed to or forming an integral part of a bearing portion of the body of the capsule.
