The present invention refers to a coffee maker comprising a
housing, a beverage outlet, a collecting tray located below the
beverage outlet, and a height adjustment assembly for adjusting
the height position of the collecting tray.
In coffee makers, particularly in espresso coffee machines, it
is desirable to design the collecting tray receiving the coffee
cups to be filled such that its height position can be adjusted to
the height of the coffee cups to enable cups with different
heights to be positioned below the beverage outlet in an optimal
distance.
The document EP-B-1, 2.78,444 A1 discloses a machine for brewing
beveragas. It comprises a pedestal provided with a collecting
tray. The collecting tray is provided with a cover, constituting a
support for the beverage container. Moreover,the machine compris-
es a pillar rigidly connected to the pedestal, the head of the
pillar being provided with a beverage outlet. The cover of the
collecting tray is provided with an apron, the inner wall thereof
comprising three slide rails located vertically one above the oth-
er one. The tray is provided at both sides with a rib adapted to
engage one of the slide rails. The height position of the covar of
this machine can be adjusted in three steps.
The document EP-A-0, 585, 607 discloses an espresso coffee ma-
chine having a height adjustable support plate. The support plate
is attached to the base of the machine via a collecting tray. The
height adjustment is based on the principle of a screw drive, ef-
fective either between the base of the machine and the collecting
tray or between the collecting tray and the support plate. By ro-
tating the collecting tray, the height position of the support
plate is adjusted.
The document DE-A-32,41,606 discloses an electrical coffee
maker, having an extension arm or beam located below the coffee
beverage outlet and on which is arranged a collecting tray. The

-2A-
collecting tray is covered by a cover plate provided with passages
and serves as a support for two coffee mugs.
A disadvantage of all of these afore mentioned coffee machines
can be seen in the fact that the collecting tray and the support
plate, respectively, cannot be adjusted in height or only within a
limited range.
The document CH 315,837 finally discloses an electrical
espresso coffee machine, provided with a steam boiler which is en—
closed by a stand. For receiving cups or tumblers, A height ad-
justable plate member is provided which is vertically arranged be-
low the brewing container. The plate, member comprises a glider,
guided in a vertical slot of the stand. Sideways of this slot, de-
tents are provided that can be engaged by a locking member provid-
ed with cam members. The locking member is connected to a spring
biased pusher by means of a rod located at the bottom of the plate
member. By operating the pusher, the locking member is disengaged
with the result that the plate member can be adjusted regarding
its height position. In this design, the danger exists that the
height adjustable plate member is unstable and waggy because it is
gaided only centrally. More-over, it is probably relatively sensi-
tive to eccentric loads.
It is an object of the invention to provide a coffee maker
having a coffee cup rest member whose height position can be ad-
justed quickly and easily within a broad range.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a coffee
maker having a coffee cup rest melttber in which a canting of the
rest member is substantially avoided during the operation of ad-
justing its height position.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a coffee
maker having a coffee cup rest member in which the rest member is
steadily fixed is the selected, height position.
To meet this and other objects, the present invention provides
a coffee maker, comprising a housing, a beverage outlet, a col-
lecting tray located below the beverage outlet, and a height ad-
justment assembly for adjusting the height position of the col-

-3-
lecting tray. The collecting tray is attached to a support member
of the height adjusting assembly and provided with a cover plate
member adapted to receive at least one coffee cup.
According to a first aspect of the invention, the height ad-
justing assembly comprises a vertically extending gear rack member
and two guide rail members running along both sides of the gear
rack member and adapted to guide the support member, The support
member of the height adjustment assembly comprised at least one
element adapted to: engage the gear rack member and to releasably
lack the support member vertically along the gear rack member.
According to a second aspect of the invention, the height ad-
justing assembly comprises two gear rack members and a guide rail
member located between the two gear rack members. The support mem-
ber is provided with a guide member engaging the guide rail and a
shaft member having at each of its two ends a pinion each engaging-
one of the two gear rack members.
By providing the height adjustment assembly either with a ver-
tically extending gear rack and two guide rail members running
along both sides of the gear rack member and adapted to guide the
support member, or with two gear rack members and a guide rail
member located between the two gear rack members, the fundamental
prerequisite is created to adjust the height position of the cof-
fee cup rest member within a broad range in such a manner that it
is soundly fixed in the selected position and reliably guided so
that it cannot cant during the adjustment of the height position.
In the following, an embodiment of the coffee maker according
no the invention will be further described, with reference to the
accompanying drawings, in which

Fig. 1 shows a semi-automatic coffee machine in a side view.
Since such coffee makers are well known to any person skilled in
the art, only those characteristics will be further discussed
herein after which are relevant to the present invention.
The housing of the coffee maker is generally designated by
reference numeral 1. The coffee maker is provided with a beverage
outlet 2, located above a collecting tray 3. The collecting tray 3
serves for collecting fluid, particularly residual water or coffee
beverage, for example dripping out of the beverage outlet 2 ones a
coffee beverage has been prepared. The top side of the collecting
tray 3 is provided with a grating 4 on which one or two coffee
mugs can be placed. The collecting tray 3 is height adjustably at-
tached to the housing 1 of the coffee maker by means of an adjust-
ment assembly 6.
In Fig, 2, a number of components and elements of the coffee
maker and particularly of the height adjustment assembly 6 are
shown in an exploded view from an elevated point of view. Particu-
larly, the collecting tray 3, the grating 4, a L-shaped support
member 8, a slider member 9, a gear rack 10 provided on a lower
portion 12 of the housing of the coffee, maker, as well as a car-
riage 11 are shown in this figure. A central portion 14 of the
gear rack 10 is provided with a plurality of tooth-like emboss-
ments, while the two lateral sides of the gear rack 10 are provid-
ed each with a guide rail 15 delimiting a dovetail shaped groove.
The carriage 11 is provided with guide cams 16 corresponding in
size and shape to the dovetail-shaped grooves. Further, the car-

-5-
riage 11 comprises a cylindrical stub 17 to which is attached the
support member 8 by means of a not further shown screw means.
Thus, the real adjustment assembly is essentially constituted by
tha gear rack 10, together with the two guide rails 15 and the
carriage 11. The slider 9 serves for locking the support member 8
on the gear tack 10 in vertical direction, as will be further ex-
plained, herein after.
The slider 9 is further provided with two pressure springs 21,
In Fig. 2, only one of those springs 21 is visible; it is under-
stood that the other one is located symmetrically at the opposite
side of the slider 9. The springs 21 rest on hinge-like retainers
22; again, only one of those retainers 22 is visible; it is under-
stood that the other one is located symmetrically at the opposite
side of the slider 9. The two springs 21 bias the slider 9 in a
direction towards the gear rack 10. The base portion of the sup-
port member 8 constitutes a support member foot 8a, whereby the
top side thereof is provided with a snap-on element 18, serving
for fixing the collecting tray 3.
The height adjustment assembly as shown in the drawings and
discussed herein before, comprising a central gear rack 10 and two
guide rails 15 located at both sides thereof, ensures, that the
height position of the support member 8 can be quickly and easily
adjusted without the danger that the support member 8 and the car-
riage 11, respectively, would cant. By providing two guide tails
15, it is ensured that the support member 8 is soundly -supported
by the coffee machine and not very sensitive to eccentric loading.
In Fig. 3, the components and elements of Fig. 2 are shown in
an exploded view as seen from a lower point of view. In this view,
particularly a recess 19 located at the bottom of the collecting
tray 3, two slide bars 23 located at the bottom of the support
member 8, a protrusion 24 located at the slides 9 as well as the
two pressure springs 21 are apparent. Moreover, in this view, it
can be seen that both the support member foot 8a and the slider 9.
are provided each with an apron 25, 26, located at the front side
of these elements 8a, 9 and serving as a handle.

6
While the slide bars 23 serve for guiding and supporting the
slider 9, the latter one is biased towards the gear rack 10 by
means of the two springs 21. The protrusion 24 provided on the
slider 9 has a front portion corresponding in shape and size to
the tooth-like embossments of the gear rack 10 and serves for
locking the carriage 11, and therewith the support member 8 as
well as the collecting tray 3, to prevent any vertical movement.
The apron 26 serves for manually grasping the slider 9, such that
an operator can move the slider 9 forward, aginst the force of
the two springs 21, to disengage the protrusion 24 from the gear
rack 10. By means of the recess 19 located at the bottom of the
collecting tray 3, the latter one can be attached, in the sense of
a push-fit, to the snap-on element 18 located at the top of the
support member foot 8a (Fig. 2).
Fig. 4 shows the components and elements of Figs. 2 and 3 in a
longitudinal sectional view._ In ocdec to be able to adjust the
height position of the collecting tray 3, the slider 9 is manually
pulled forward, against ths force of the springs 21, by grasping
it on the aprpn 26. Thereby, the protrusion 24 is disengaged from
the particular recess in tbe gear lack 10, with the result that
the carriage 11, together with the collecting tray 3 attached
thereto, can the moved upwards or downwards.
Fig. 4a shows an enlarged view of a portion of Fig. 4. Partic-
ularly apparent in this view is the way how the protrusion 24 of
the slider, which is biased by the springs 21, non-positively en-
gages a recess 10a of the gear cack 10. In order to prevent the
protrusion 24 to slide out of engagement if the collecting tray 3.
is loaded, e.g. by two full coffee mugs, the bottom region 10b of
the particular recess 10a extends essentially horizontally, while
the top region 10c of the particular recess 10a is inclined.
Fig. 5 shows a cross sectional view of the components and ele-
ments of Fig. 4. Particularly apparent in this view are the slider
9, biased by the two springs 21, the protrusion 24 as well as the
two dovetail-shaped guide rails 15.

Fig. 6 shows an alternative embodiment of an adjustment assem-
bly 27 in a perspective front view from an elevated point of view.
The adjustment assembly 27 comprises a vertically extending sup-
porting bracket 28, having a substantially rectangular cross sec-
tion and an open front side directed towards the collecting tray
3a. Thus, two substantially L-shaped side walls 29, 30 are consti-
tuted. The top of the supporting bracket 28 is provided with an
upper faceplate 31. The inner side of each base portion of the L-
shaped side walls 29, 30 is provided with a gear rack, as will be
further explained herein after. Again, for guiding and supporting
the collecting tray 3a, a support member 32 is provided.
In addition, the adjustment assembly 27 comprises a threaded
spindle 33 driven by an electro motor 34, serving for height ad-
justment of the support member 32 and, therewith, the collecting
tray 3a. In the region of its frontal portion, the collecting tray
3a is provided with a first sensor 36, located at its top side,
and a second sensor 37, located at its bottom side. These sensors
operate in response to a touch with a finger and are operationally
connected to the electronic control module (not shown) of the cof-
fee maker. Thereby, the electro motor 34, operationally connected
to the electronic control unit of the coffee maker as well, is op-
erated such that it rotates the. threaded spindle 33 in a first di-
rection to move the collecting tray 3a downwards upon touching the
upper sensor 36, and that it rotates the threaded spindle 33 in a
second direction to move the collecting tray 3a upwards upon
touching the lower sensor 37.
Furthermore, there is provided an upper limit switch 38, in-
terrupting ah upward motion of the collecting tray 3a ,as soon as ^
lever (not shown) attached to the support member 32: operates the
limit switch 38. Similarly, a lower limit switch (not shown) is
provided, limiting the downward motion of the collecting tray 3a,
The threaded spindle 35 is provided with a self-locking thread,
with the result that the support member 32 is locked regarding its
vertical position once the threaded spindle 33 is at rest.

Fig. 7 shows the embodiment according to Fig, 6 in a perspec-
tive view, whereby a portion at the top is cut away for greater
clarity. Thus, clearly apparent from this view, besides the compo-
nents and elements mentioned herein before, are the two gear racks
39, 40, two pinions 41, 42, positively coupled to each other by
means of a shaft. 44, a guide groove 43 provided in the rear wall
35, as well as a guide member 49. The two gear racks 39, 40 are
integral parts of the two aide walls 29, 30; particularly, they
are formed into the inside of two respective base portions 29a,
30a of the side walls 29, 30, Each of the two pinions 41, 42 non-
positively engages one of the two gear racks 39, 40.
The guide membsic 45 constitutes a portion of the support mem-
ber 32 and comprises a U-shaped bracket 47. Two guide rollers 45,
guided in the groove 43, are rotatably received in this U-shaped
bracket 47. However, in Fig. 7, only the upper ore of the guide
rollers 45 is visible. These two guide rollers 45 serve for later-
ally guiding the support member 32 during its up and down move-
ment. Moreover, they ensure that the support member cannot move
backwards towards the rear wall 35, with the result that the two
pinions .41, 42 compellingly engage the gear racks 39, 40. The col-
lecting tray 3a is attached to the support member 32 by means of a
support arm 48.
By providing a guide groove 43 with the guide rollers 45, 46
engaging the groove 43, further by providing two gear racks 39, 40
with the two pinions 41, 42 positively engaging the gear, racks 39,
40 and connected to each other by the shaft 44, it is ensured also
in this embodiment that the support member 32 can be quickly and
easily adjusted in height without the danger that it would cant
and that the support member 32 is soundly supported by the coffee
machine and not very sensitive to eccentric loading.
Fig. 6 shows a longitudinal sectional view of the embodiment
according to Fig. 6. Clearly apparent from this view, besides the
components and elements mentioned herein before, are the collect-
ing tray 3a, the threaded spindle 33, the electro motor 34, the
one gear rack 39 being part of the side wall 30, the shaft 44 pos-

9
itively interconnecting the two pinions 41, 42, the guide member
49 with the bracket 47 and the two guide rollers 45, 46, as well
as the support arm 48. Moreover, it is apparent that tile upper
guide roller 45 is supported on the bracket 47 by means of a pres-
sure spring 50. By this resilient support of the upper guide
roller 45, it is ensured that the collecting tray 3a is held in
its position without backlash, and that the two guid& rollers 45,
46 are in permanent contact with the guide groove 43. Finally, two
connecting bores 51 can be seen, serving to receive connecting
means, e.g. screws, to attach, the support arm 48 to the bracket
47.
The advantages of this height adjustment mechanism may be
seen, amongst else, in the fact that the height position of the
collecting tray 3a can be steplessly adjusted within a broad
range. Thereby, the two pinions 41, 42 positively interconnected
by means of the shaft 44 ensure that the collecting tray 3a is
firmly supported by the supporting bracket 28 and that it does
substantially not move or become bent under load. The stability of
the entire assembly is further enhanced by the fact that the sup-
port member 32 is constituted by a boom, provided on both sides
with a pinion 41, 42 engaging a gear rack 39, 40, whereby the
guide rollers 45, 46 are centrally supported on the support member
32.
The embodiment discussed herein before with reference to Figs.
6 to 8 is particularly suitable to be used with a fully automatic
espresso coffee maker, whereby also the height adjustment of the
collecting tray can be performed semi-automatically or fully auto-
matically. For example, a sensor could be provided, recognizing
the height of the coffee mug placed onto the collecting tray and
moving the collecting tray automatically to a proper height posi-
tion. In order to realize that, it would be required to move the
collecting tray into its lowermost position after each coffee
brewing operation. But also other variants are possible, for in-
stance a displacement of the collecting tray in dependence of the

-10-
selected coffee beverage to be brewed, i.e. espresso coffee-, cap-
puccino coffee, regular coffee etc.
As an alternative to the embodiment shown in and discussed
with reference to Figs. 6 to 8, incorporating an electro motor and
a threaded spindle, also a manual height position adjustment of
the support member could be realized . Preferably, in such a case,
the shaft 44 would be provided with an additional, central pinion,
adapted to be locked by means of a suitable lock mechanism. Such a
lock mechanism could be constituted, for example, by a sprin-bi-
ased lever pivoting around a shaft, having a toothing at its end
that engages the additional central pinion to prevent it from fur-
ther rotation. For releasing, the lever would have to be pivoted,
against the force of the spring, such that the support member, to-
gether with the collecting tray, can be ijtoved to the desired
height position. Upon the lever pivoting back under the influence
of the spring, the additional central pinion is locked again, with
the result that the support member, together with the collecting
tray, is locked, against movement in vertical direction.
