Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil de distribution et un procédé de distribution de produits à partir d'un distributeur. Selon l'invention, la partie de mesure d'un mécanisme de distribution de produits situé dans un distributeur peut facilement être configurée pour s'adapter au nombre de produits distribués et à la profondeur de ceux-ci sans avoir à ajouter ou à retirer des pièces, comme c'est le cas pour les mécanismes de distribution de produits existants. L'invention concerne un élément de mesure coulissant qui peut facilement être étendu ou rétracté afin que soit créé ou éliminé un élément de mesure de produit. L'invention permet ainsi de ne pas faire intervenir de pièces amovibles, qui sont utilisées dans les distributeurs existants, afin de configurer des ensembles de distribution de produits, de manière à vendre un ensemble de produits.
