1. A device for the extraction of a capsule comprising:
- a first fixed part;
a second movable part that can be moved relative to the first fixed part;
a housing for a capsule and defining, in a closed position of the second movable part against the first fixed part, an extraction position of the capsule along an axis in the housing;
an insertion and positioning part comprising means for guiding the capsule arranged so as to insert the capsule by gravity and to position the capsule in an intermediate position;
a drink pouring system; and
the second movable part is so constructed and arranged to move the capsule from the intermediate position into the extraction position when the device is closed,wherein the means for guiding comprises stopping means configured to keep the capsule in the intermediate position along an axis that is substantially coaxial to the axis of the housing, and wherein the second movable part is configured to force the capsule to move past the stopping means when the capsule travels from the intermediate position to the extraction position.

10. An extraction system comprising:
-
a device for extraction of a capsule and a capsule that can be extracted in the device, the capsule having a guiding edge in the form of a flange, the device comprising a first fixed part, a second movable part that can be moved relative to the first fixed part, a housing configured to receive the capsule and defining, in a closed position of the second movable part against the first fixed part, an extraction position of the capsule about an axis in the housing, an insertion and positioning part comprising means for guiding the capsule arranged so as to insert the capsule by gravity and position the capsule in an intermediate position, the guiding edge of the capsule being taken charge of in the means for guiding, the means for guiding being introduction slides allowing the engagement of the flange; and a drink pouring system, wherein the second moveable part is so constructed and arranged to displace the capsule from the intermediate position to the extraction position when the device is closed, wherein the means for guiding comprises stopping means configured to keep the capsule in the intermediate position, the flange pressing against the stopping means in the intermediate position, the second movable part takes charge of the capsule to displace it from the intermediate position to the extraction position about the axis of the capsule in the extraction position in the housing such that in its movement, the mobile part acts on the capsule to bring it down, the flange of the capsule passing beneath the stopping means, and to push it about the axis of the mobile part in its extraction position. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
