A brewing unit for preparing beverages from a pre-packed capsule, comprising: a brewing chamber comprising a first brewing chamber portion and a second brewing chamber portion, mobile one with respect to the other to open and close the brewing chamber;a channel for inserting said capsule downward
1. A brewing unit for preparing beverages from a pre-packed capsule, comprising: a brewing chamber comprising a first brewing chamber portion and a second brewing chamber portion, mobile one with respect to the other to open and close the brewing chamber;a channel for inserting said capsule downwards towards said brewing chamber;a mobile deviator interposing between said first brewing chamber portion and said second brewing chamber portion when said first brewing chamber portion and second brewing chamber portion are open, to deviate said capsule towards one of said first and second brewing chamber portions;an actuation mechanism for closing and opening said brewing chamber;a movable capsule supporting member comprising a supporting arm arranged and controlled to retain the capsule from below, so that when the brewing chamber is open said capsule is supported by said mobile deviator and said supporting arm;wherein: said actuation mechanism is connected to one of said first brewing chamber portion and said second brewing chamber portion to open and close said brewing chamber; said actuation mechanism is further connected to said mobile deviator and to said movable capsule supporting member such that said actuation mechanism controls both said mobile deviator and said movable capsule supporting member, to remove said mobile deviator and said supporting arm from said trajectory of mutual motion of said first and second brewing chamber portions during closure of the brewing chamber; said mobile deviator and said supporting arm are hinged to provide a rotation motion to either rotate said mobile deviator downwards and said supporting arm upwards to interpose between said first brewing chamber portion and said second brewing chamber portion when the brewing chamber is opened or to rotate said mobile deviator upwards and said supporting arm downwards out of the trajectory of said first and second brewing chamber portions under the control of said actuation mechanism when the brewing chamber is closed. 2. The brewing unit according to claim 1, wherein said mobile deviator is arranged to deviate said capsule towards a brewing recess formed in one of said first and second brewing chamber portions. 3. The brewing unit according to claim 1, wherein said insertion channel is directed generally in a vertical direction to insert said capsule by gravity. 4. The brewing unit according to claim 1, wherein the movement of the mobile deviator is controlled by said actuating mechanism through a kinematic connecting member. 5. The brewing unit according to claim 1, wherein said mobile deviator is returned in the position interposed between the first brewing chamber portion and the second brewing chamber portion by said actuation mechanism. 6. The brewing unit according to claim 1, wherein said mobile deviator is resiliently returned in the position interposed between the first brewing chamber portion and the second brewing chamber portion. 7. The brewing unit according to claim 1, wherein said mobile deviator comprises a chute which, when the brewing chamber is open, arranges between the first and the second brewing chamber portions in a position tilted from the top downwards and towards one of said first and second brewing chamber portions, and wherein said capsule coming from the insertion channel is guided by said chute. 8. The brewing unit according to claim 1, wherein one of said first brewing chamber portion and said second brewing chamber portion is mobile and the other one is fixed with respect to a bearing structure whereto said insertion channel is associated. 9. The brewing unit according to claim 8, wherein said mobile deviator is hinged to said bearing structure. 10. The brewing unit according to claim 1, wherein at least one of said first and second brewing chamber portions comprises an elastic ejector to eject an exhausted capsule and wherein said mobile deviator is provided with a motion according to a trajectory interfering with said capsule if said capsule remains adhering to any one of said first and second brewing chamber portions, thus causing detachment and removal of the capsule from the brewing chamber portion. 11. The brewing unit according to claim 1, wherein said actuation mechanism comprises a control lever for closing and opening the brewing chamber. 12. The brewing unit according to claim 11, wherein said control lever is connected to said mobile deviator, so that the motion of the control lever causes the closing and opening of the brewing chamber and motion of the mobile deviator synchronized with the motion of the first and second brewing chamber portions. 13. The brewing unit according to claim 1, wherein said first and said second brewing chamber portions move one with respect to the other according to a direction generally orthogonal to the direction of the insertion channel of the capsule. 14. The brewing unit according to claim 1, wherein said mobile deviator comprises two portions hinged to one another and resiliently biased in an extended position. 15. The brewing unit according to claim 14, wherein said two portions of the mobile deviator are hinged to one another about an axis parallel to a pivoting axis around which said mobile deviator rotates when removed from the trajectory of the brewing chamber portions, said two portions of the mobile deviator being forced to take a mutually inclined position by co-action with the capsule during closure of the brewing chamber. 16. A beverage producing machine, comprising a brewing unit according to claim 1. 17. The brewing unit according to claim 1, wherein said mobile deviator comprises a chute which, when the brewing chamber is open, arranges between the first and the second brewing chamber portions in a position tilted from the top downwards and towards one of said first and second brewing chamber portions, wherein the capsule coming from the insertion channel is guided by said chute and wherein during opening of the brewing chamber, the chute moves downwards pushing against said capsule and dislodging said capsule from the one of said first and second brewing chamber portions, thus causing detachment of the capsule from the one of said first and second brewing chamber portions. 18. The brewing unit according to claim 1, comprising a pin and a projection, wherein the rotation motion of said mobile deviator is provided by rotation of said mobile deviator about the pin and the projection pushing on and following a cam profile of said mobile deviator when the brewing chamber is opened and closed.
