Abstract
A machine () for the preparation of liquid products via capsules has a delivery assembly (), which comprises: —a preparation chamber that includes a first, stationary, part of chamber and a second, movable, part of chamber; —an actuation system (), controllable for causing displacements of the second part of chamber with respect to the first part of chamber, between a spaced apart position and a close position; —two guide elements, configured for co-operating with a flange of a capsule for guiding the latter towards a position that is substantially coaxial to the first part of chamber and to the second part of chamber; —an ejector member (), slidably mounted through a through opening of a bottom of the first part of chamber (); and—connection members (), which connect the ejector member () to the second part of chamber. The guide elements are prearranged for interfering with the flange of the capsule in order to extract the capsule from the housing of the first part of chamber. The connection members () are configured in such a way that the ejector member () brings about expulsion of the capsule from the housing of the first part of chamber if the guide elements fail to extract the capsule from the housing.
