Description

Cette invention concerne un distributeur pour granulés, pilules, comprimés ou objets analogues de forme ronde ou sensiblement ronde comportant un récipient destiné à contenir lesdits objets, une face de ce récipient présentant un orifice calibré aux dimensions des objets en cause et un couvercle coiffant une extrémité du récipie-.i pour recevoir les objets.This invention relates to a dispenser for granules, pills, tablets or similar objects of round or substantially round shape comprising a container intended to contain said objects, one face of this container having an orifice calibrated to the dimensions of the objects in question and a cover covering one end. of the container-.i to receive the objects.

De tels distributeurs sont connus. L'invention a donc pour but de réaliser un distributeur du type décrit ci-dessus qui fonctionne non seulement de manière entièrement fiable mais dont la structure est telle que le distributeur résiste à de nombreuses manipulations.Such distributors are known. The object of the invention is therefore to produce a dispenser of the type described above which not only works entirely reliably but whose structure is such that the dispenser resists numerous manipulations.

A cet effet, la face précitée du distributeur est prolongée par un conduit, présentant deux fentes longitudinales, axé sur ledit orifice pour recevoir un objet extrait par gravité dudit récipient, un arrêt à l'extrémité du conduit en question pour retenir un objet, le couvercle précité coiffant l'extrémité concernée du récipient étant muni intérieurement d'un doigt qui, lorsque le couvercle exécute une rotation autour de l'axe géométrique du récipient, traverse au moins une des deux fentes précitées pour éjecter un objet retenu dans le conduit précité.To this end, the aforementioned face of the dispenser is extended by a conduit, having two longitudinal slots, centered on said orifice to receive an object extracted by gravity from said container, a stop at the end of the conduit in question to retain an object, the aforementioned lid covering the end concerned of the container being provided internally with a finger which, when the lid performs a rotation around the geometric axis of the container, passes through at least one of the two aforementioned slots to eject an object retained in the aforementioned conduit .

Dans une forme de réalisation avantageuse, le conduit précité présente une forme sensiblement cylindrique et les fentes précitées ont une largeur très légèrement inférieure au diamètre de l'objet à éjecter, de telle sorte que l'objet en question puisse être poussé par le doigt précité au travers d'une des fentes. grâce à une élasticité suffisante de la matière dont est constitué le conduit axé sur l'orifice précité.In an advantageous embodiment, the aforementioned conduit has a substantially cylindrical shape and the aforementioned slots have a width very slightly less than the diameter of the object to be ejected, so that the object in question can be pushed by the aforementioned finger through one of the slots. thanks to a sufficient elasticity of the material of which the conduit centered on the aforementioned orifice is made.

Une particularité de l'invention réside dans le fait que la face du récipient dans laquelle est ménagé l'orifice précité, présente une découpe en arc de cercle par laquelle pénètre un second doigt suffisamment long pour agiter, par rotation du couvercle, les granulés, pilules, comprimés ou objets analogues contenus dans le récipient, et les orienter ainsi vers l'orifice précité.A feature of the invention resides in the fact that the face of the container in which the abovementioned orifice is formed, has a cut in an arc of a circle through which a second finger penetrates long enough to agitate, by rotation of the cover, the granules, pills, tablets or the like contained in the container, and thus orient them towards the aforementioned opening.

Pour la facilité de la description, il sera toujours question de granulés quoiqu'il doive être entendu que le distributeur peut aussi servir à éjecter un à un des objets ronds ou plus ou moins ronds qui ne seraient pas nécessairement des granulés.For ease of description, it will always be a question of granules although it should be understood that the dispenser can also be used to eject one by one round or more or less round objects which are not necessarily granules.

D'autres détails et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui sera donnée ci-après d'un distributeur selon l'invention. Cette description n'est donnée qu'à titre d'exemple et ne limite pas l'invention. Les notations de référence se rapportent aux figures ci-annexées.

  • La figure 1 est une vue en coupe longitudinale du distributeur, en position inclinée, le couvercle étant partiellement retiré.
  • La figure 2 est une vue de face du distributeur dans une position du couvercle.
  • La figure 3 est une vue de face du même distributeur dans une autre position du couvercle.
Other details and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which will be given below of a dispenser according to the invention. This description is given by way of example only and does not limit the invention. The reference notations refer to the appended figures.
  • Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of the dispenser, in the inclined position, the cover being partially removed.
  • Figure 2 is a front view of the dispenser in a position of the cover.
  • Figure 3 is a front view of the same dispenser in another position of the cover.

Le distributeur représenté par ces figures comporte un récipient contenant des granulés (1). Le récipient proprement dit est constitué, dans une forme d'exécution préférentielle mais non limitative. par un petit conteneur cylindrique (2) introduit à frottement dur dans le corps extérieur (3) du récipient. Pour la facilité de la desc-ription, la référence (3) désignera tout simplement "le récipient".The dispenser represented by these figures comprises a container containing granules (1). The container itself is made up, in a preferred but non-limiting embodiment. by a small cylindrical container (2) introduced with hard friction into the external body (3) of the container. For ease of desc-ription, the reference (3) will simply designate "the container".

Le distributeur est conçu pour délivrer un à un des granulés dans un couvercle (4).The dispenser is designed to deliver the granules one by one into a cover (4).

La face (5) du récipient a, comme il résulte des figures 1 à 3, un prolongement cylindrique (6) sur la face supérieure duquel apparaissent d'une part l'orifice (7) et d'autre part une découpe en arc de cercle (8).The face (5) of the container has, as results from FIGS. 1 to 3, a cylindrical extension (6) on the upper face of which appear on the one hand the orifice (7) and on the other hand an arc cut out of circle (8).

Sur l'orifice (7) est axé un conduit (9) de forme généralement cylindrique présentant un arrêt (10).On the orifice (7) is centered a conduit (9) of generally cylindrical shape having a stop (10).

Le conduit (9) présente deux fentes parallèles entre elles et à l'axe géométrique du conduit; ces fentes sont désignées par les références (11) et (12).The conduit (9) has two slots parallel to each other and to the geometric axis of the conduit; these slots are designated by the references (11) and (12).

Le couvercle (4) qui a une forme soit cylindrique, soit carrée à bords arrondis, est donc destiné à être glissé, en position d'utilisation, sur le prolongement cylindrique (6) de façon à pouvoir tourner librement autour de l'axe géométrique du distributeur.The cover (4) which has either a cylindrical or square shape with rounded edges, is therefore intended to be slid, in the position of use, onto the cylindrical extension (6) so as to be able to rotate freely around the geometric axis. from the distributor.

Le couvercle (4) présente à l'intérieur un premier doigt (13) de dimension réduite et un second doigt (14) de plus grande dimension.The cover (4) has inside a first finger (13) of reduced size and a second finger (14) of larger dimension.

Le premier doigt (13) est destiné à pénétrer, lors de la rotation du couvercle (4), soit dans l'une des fentes (11) et (12) pour repousser un granulé (1) retenu dans le conduit (9), et extraire ensuite ce granulé par l'un des côtés de la fente (11) ou (12); c'est-à-dire soit à droite. soit à gauche en se référant aux figures 2 et 3. Ceci dépend évidemment du sens dans lequel on fait tourner le couvercle (4) par rapport au récipient (3).The first finger (13) is intended to penetrate, during the rotation of the cover (4), either into one of the slots (11) and (12) to repel a granule (1) retained in the conduit (9), and then extracting this granule through one of the sides of the slot (11) or (12); that is to say either right. either to the left with reference to Figures 2 and 3. This obviously depends on the direction in which the cover (4) is rotated relative to the container (3).

Le doigt (14), de dimension plus grande, est destiné à pénétrer par la découpe en arc de cercle (8) et à agiter les granulés en direction de l'orifice (7) également lorsqu'on fait tourner le couvercle (2) par rapport au récipient (3).The finger (14), of larger dimension, is intended to penetrate by the cut in an arc (8) and to agitate the granules in the direction of the orifice (7) also when making turn the cover (2) relative to the container (3).

Attendu que le conduit (9) est constitué d'une matière offrant une certaine flexibilité telle que du polypropylène et que la largeur des fentes (11) et (12) est légèrement inférieure au diamètre d'un granulé, il est aisé de repousser un de ceux-ci au travers d'une des fentes longitudinales (11) ou (12), selon le sens de rotation qu'on imprime au couvercle.Since the conduit (9) is made of a material offering a certain flexibility such as polypropylene and that the width of the slots (11) and (12) is slightly less than the diameter of a granule, it is easy to repel a of these through one of the longitudinal slots (11) or (12), depending on the direction of rotation that is printed on the cover.

A la figure 3, on remarque le sens de rotation du couvercle et on peut observer que le doigt (13) va atteindre la fente (12) et se trouve en contact avec un granulé (1) bloqué dans le conduit (9). La rotation du couvercle se poursuivant. le granulé (1) sera éjecté par la fente (12) et se trouvera emprisonné à l'intérieur du couvercle (4).In Figure 3, we notice the direction of rotation of the cover and we can observe that the finger (13) will reach the slot (12) and is in contact with a granule (1) blocked in the conduit (9). The rotation of the cover continues. the granule (1) will be ejected through the slot (12) and will be trapped inside the cover (4).

Le granulé peut alors être extrait du couvercle qui se retire aisément du récipient (3).The granule can then be extracted from the cover which is easily removed from the container (3).

Pour extraire le granulé suivant, la même opération peut être recommencée, par exemple en sens inverse. Il est évident que pour amener un granulé dans le conduit (9), il faut incliner le distributeur dans une position telle que représentée à la figure 1 ou sensiblement égale à celle-ci.To extract the next granule, the same operation can be repeated, for example in reverse. It is obvious that to bring a granule into the conduit (9), it is necessary to tilt the dispenser in a position as shown in Figure 1 or substantially equal thereto.

De la description qui vient d'être donnée, on remarquera que le distributeur selon l'invention est d'une conception extrêmement simple. qu'il fonctionne de manière absolument fiable et est d'un emploi extrêmement aisé.From the description which has just been given, it will be noted that the dispenser according to the invention is of an extremely simple design. that it works absolutely reliably and is extremely easy to use.

Il est cependant évident que l'invention n'est pas limitée à la forme d'exécution décrite ci-dessus et que bien des modificatiosn pourraient y être apportées sans sortir du cadre de la présente demande de brevet.It is however obvious that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above and that many modifications could be made to it without departing from the scope of the present patent application.
