Referenced feeding of capsules

A device (1) for supplying capsules (2), comprising:

• a receiving tray (3) for loose capsules (2);
• a belt (4) that is equipped with mountings (5), for conveying capsules (2) upward, during which poorly-oriented capsules are caused to be sent back toward the receiving tray (3);
• an outlet chute (6) for guiding the capsules (2) to a station that is being fed;
• and
• an ejection means (13) for guiding the capsules (2) into said chute (6) from a side of the belt (4),
• wherein the chute (6) comprises, on the belt side (4), an end part (7) where the capsules (2) are conveyed under the action of inertia and that has a guiding bend (8) with nothing opposite, the guiding bend (8) upwardly defining a capsule path,
• the chute (6) having, downstream from the end part (7), a channel (9) of a shape that maintains an orientation of the capsules (2) during circulation of the capsules (2) therethrough,
• the bend (8) extending from said channel (9) and having a shape of an arc, and
• a profile of the bend (8) extending along and above the path that an object made of a capsule (2) follows under sole action of gravity, between the outlet of the belt (4), where the capsule (2) moves at a horizontal speed, and the inlet of the channel (9), below and separated horizontally in relation to said outlet.
