    (54) Method for batching granular and similar articles and a device for carrying out such method


    (57) A method for batching granular articles (2) provides to supply an suitable amount of such granular articles (2) over a batching cask (8), joined to elastic means (9) designed to form in the upper part an inclined concave surface that acts as a mouth for the same batching cask (8). The mouth is aimed at receiving the granular articles (2) to fill the cask (8). Then the batching cask (8) is moved to a raised position in which said elastic means (9) are kept taut protruding upwards thus forming in the upper part an inclined convex surface, so as to determine spontaneous removal of articles (2) exceeding the prefixed dose, that fall along said inclined surface.
