Claim:
1. A delivery assembly for a machine for preparing liquid products using capsules, the delivery assembly comprising: a support structure bearing an injector device for introducing a fluid into a capsule; a capsule-holder, mounted movable in the support structure; guide means, designed to enable the capsule-holder to displace between an open position, in which the capsule-holder is farther from the injector device, to enable loading of a capsule into the assembly, and a closed position, in which the capsule-holder is closer to the injector device, to enable injection of the fluid into the capsule loaded in the capsule-holder; an actuation mechanism, operable for causing displacements of the capsule-holder between the open position and the closed position; a longitudinally extended ejector member, mounted movable on the capsule-holder and designed to eject the capsule outside of the capsule-holder during displacement of the capsule-holder from the closed position to the open position, the ejector member having a head end capable to assume a withdrawn position and an advanced position relative to a bottom of the capsule-holder, and a rear end that is able to mechanically co-operate with a constraining element defined by, or associated to, the support structure, wherein the ejector member comprises a plurality of parts connected in an articulated way, amongst which at least one first part, including said head end, and one second part, including said rear end, the first part and the second part being articulated in such a way that the second part is able to assume a plurality of angular positions with respect to the first part and to the constraining element during displacement of the capsule-holder between the open position and the closed position.
