<p>Feed rate regulator for a machine for dispensing loose products by gravity, these products being contained in a hopper (1) and whose flow takes place through an adjustable opening (2) disposed at the bottom of the said hopper (1), and constituted by a hatch (4) sliding along its axis, characterised in that it comprises an agitator (5) equipped with a control plate (6) which is applied against the hatch (4) when it is in the closed position, the said agitator (5) being provided with elastic return means (7) acting along the axis of the hatch (4) and in the same direction as the opening of the said hatch (4), in such a way that during the opening of the hatch (4), the agitator (5) moves in the same direction as the hatch (4) under the effect of the elastic means (7) and comes into contact with an axial shaking actuator (9), which drives the agitator with an alternating motion along the axis of the said hatch (4). <IMAGE></p> |
