Device for the manufacture of skewers of food products comprising a mobile skewer picker synchronized with the movement of the trays for receiving the food products

A device for manufacturing at least one skewer, the device comprising:

• a frame;
• a mobile carriage mounted to slide on the frame between a front position and a rear position, and vice versa, said mobile carriage comprising a lower tray cooperating with an upper tray, forming a cover, the upper tray being mounted to move between an open position and a closed or folded position, the lower and upper trays having recesses for receiving foodstuffs forming at least one row of aligned cavities when the upper tray is folded onto the lower tray and at least one orifice for passing a spike opening into the axis of said at least one row of aligned cavities, the skewering of said at least one spike in the foodstuffs housed in said at least one row of aligned cavities being carried out by moving the mobile carriage from the rear position to the front position;
• at least one spike reservoir;
• a mobile spike extractor configured to be engaged inside the reservoir so as to selectively take at least one spike from said at least one reservoir and extract said at least one spike from said reservoir to position said at least one spike facing said at least one orifice when the mobile carriage is in the rear position;
• and
• a synchronizer configured to synchronise movement of said mobile spike extractor with movement of said mobile carriage comprising the lower and upper trays.
