ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an automatic dispenser for infused beverages made from powdered coffee or from pre-packaged capsules comprising, inside a housing: an infusion group (1) containing an infusion chamber (2) having a bottom and an opening (3) and being able to receive a pressing plunger (5), actuating means (7) for effecting a sliding movement relative to the pressing plunger (5) and/or said infusion chamber (2) relative to one another, starting from a position of rest, in which the plunger is located outside the chamber, and up to a working position inside the infusion chamber, and an ejecting plate mounted inside the infusion chamber (2) in a manner that enables it to be displaced between the bottom and the opening (3) of the latter by means of a drive device, and; a device (20) for ejecting the cake consisting of coffee grounds or ejecting infused capsules when said ejecting plate is brought to the level of the opening (3) of the infusion chamber (2), this ejecting device comprising an ejecting arm (21) placed in alternating motion above the opening (3) of the infusion chamber (2). According to the invention, the ejecting arm (21) is mounted in a manner that enables it to rotate about a pivotal axis (24) perpendicular to the plane of the opening (3) of the infusion chamber (2) and it is driven in its alternating motion by a single cam (30) that can move with the pressing plunger (5) or with the infusion chamber (2) whose profile is such that it ensures the two-way displacement of the ejecting arm.
