Disclosed is a blocking device for use with a beverage making machine of the type having a housing (22) and a funnel (30) positionable relative to the housing. The blocking device (40, 40a, 40b) prevents unintended disengagement of a funnel from a corresponding housing to which at least a portion of the blocking device is attached. The blocking device includes a first engager (16) and a second engager (18). The first and second engagers are engageable when positioning a funnel on a housing. The first and second engagers are selectively disengageable when removing a funnel from a housing. The blocking device as disclosed also includes a method of retaining a funnel on a housing and a kit for attaching a blocking device to a beverage making machine which does not include a blocking device.

L'invention concerne un dispositif de blocage destiné à une machine à boissons du type comprenant un logement (22) et un entonnoir (30) pouvant être monté sur le logement. Ce dispositif de blocage (40, 40a, 40b) permet d'éviter qu'un entonnoir ne se sépare accidentellement d'un logement correspondant auquel au moins une partie du dispositif de blocage est fixée. Le dispositif de blocage comprend un premier mécanisme d'enclenchement (16) et un second mécanisme d'enclenchement (18). Ces premier et second mécanismes d'enclenchement entrent en prise lorsqu'un entonnoir est placé sur un logement. Le premier et second mécanisme d'enclenchement peuvent être détachés de manière sélective lorsqu'un entonnoir est retiré d'un logement. L'invention concerne également un procédé d'utilisation de ce dispositif de blocage, permettant de fixer un entonnoir sur un logement, ainsi qu'un kit permettant de fixer un dispositif de blocage sur une machine à boissons qui n'est pas équipée d'un dispositif de blocage.
