Abstract:
A system for preserving and metering ingredients, including a set of compartments arranged in a preservation chamber and a device for removing and metering ingredients for removing a predetermined quantity of ingredients from at least one compartment, the removing device including (i) a collecting vessel intended to temporarily store, in successive layers, the ingredients withdrawn from each compartment, (ii) a controlled conveying mechanism intended to move the collecting vessel into the vicinity of each compartment, and (iii) a control unit. A distribution device is intended to dispose the removed ingredients randomly and homogeneously on the surface of a substrate.

Claim (Index 18):
A system for preserving and metering ingredients comprising:\n a preservation chamber comprising a set of compartments arranged to store ingredients; a device for picking and metering the ingredients, arranged so that it can successively pick a predetermined quantity of ingredients from each of the compartments;\n the device for picking and metering the ingredients comprises: \n a collecting vessel arranged to temporarily store, in successive layers, the ingredients picked from each compartment; a controlled conveying mechanism, arranged so that it can move the collecting vessel in line with each compartment so that the picked ingredients from said compartment fall into the collecting vessel; a control unit, programmed to control the conveying mechanism and the picking and metering device; and\n the picking and metering device comprises:\n an extraction element arranged so that it can engage successively with each compartment in order to extract some of the ingredients contained in the compartment with which the extraction element is engaged; \n a motor unit arranged so that it can actuate the extraction element when it engages with one of said compartments; and \n \n said picking and metering device being configured so that it can adopt at least two configurations:\n a configuration known as coupled configuration, in which the extraction element is coupled to one of the compartments in order to extract some of the ingredients to the collecting vessel; \n a configuration known as uncoupled configuration, in which the extraction element is uncoupled from each compartment in order to allow the picking and metering device to be able to move to another compartment and/or to the unloading configuration, \n or in that:\n each compartment comprises:\n an extraction element arranged so that it can pick some of the ingredients contained in said compartment; \n a motor unit arranged so that it can actuate the extraction element; \n \n the picking and metering device is configured so that it can have at least two configurations:\n a configuration known as coupled configuration, in which the collecting vessel is placed in line with one of the compartments in such a way that it can collect the extracted ingredients; \n a configuration known as uncoupled configuration, in which the picking and metering device is suitable for moving to another compartment and/or to the unloading configuration, \n or in that:\n each compartment comprises an extraction element arranged so that it can pick some of the ingredients contained in said compartment; \n the picking and metering device comprises a motor unit arranged so that it can engage successively with each compartment so that it can actuate the extraction element of the compartment with which it is engaged; \n said picking and metering device being configured so that it can have at least two configurations:\n a configuration known as coupled configuration, in which the motor unit is coupled to the extraction element of one of the compartments so that it can actuate the extraction element of said compartment and pick some of the ingredients from said compartment to the collecting vessel; \n a configuration known as uncoupled configuration, in which the motor unit is uncoupled from each extraction element in order to allow the picking and metering device to move to another compartment and/or to the unloading configuration.
