Coffee-mill dispensing device

A coffee-mill dispensing device, devised to be directly coupled to the outlet of a coffee-mill (1) and allow one or two measures of coffee to be directly dispensed onto the respective cup (19) of a coffee-maker, two passages (4--4') being established in the actual device, meeting at the top in a neck (5) communicating with the actual outlet of the mill, these passages (4--4') receiving the measures of ground coffee being fitted at the bottom with trapdoors (14--14'), characterised in that the junction between the passages (4--4') has a hinged trapdoor (7) which may be driven to take up two positions at which one of the passages is sealed and coffee may be freely received in the other passage;

• the bottom of said passages (4--4') being provided to have independent hinged trapdoors (14--14') biased towards a closed position by means of a spring (16--16'), and solidly connected to respective stays (21--21') which are linked to arms (20--20') that may be drawn by means of the core of respective electric magnets (17--17'), which may be activated by microswitches (18--18') that are activated by the respective cup (19) designed to receive the measure of coffee contained in the respective passage (4--4');
• being particular in that the stays (21--21') each have an upright arm (22--22') fixed thereon which may be moved vertically when the stays (21--21') are duly pulled upon the electric magnets (17--17') being activated, the top end of such upright arms (22--22') impinging upon either of the wheels (11--11') provided in a balance lever (10) solidly connected to an extension (9) of the pin (8) on which the hinged trapdoor (7) is mounted, thereby for the stable arrangement of the balance lever (10) in either position to bring about the arrangement in either position of the trapdoor (7) and hence the sealing of either passage (4--4') and for coffee to be freely received in the opposite passage.
