Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Tablettenspender, der eine Hülse und ein in dieser Hülse geführtes Magazin zur Aufnahme eines Tablettenstapels aufweist, das einen im wesentlichen U-förmigen Querschnitt und einen die Schenkel verbindenden Boden aufweist und zu Füllzwecken entgegen der Kraft einer zwischen dem Boden des Magazins und einem in diesem und in der Hülse verschiebbar geführten, als Federteller wirkenden napfartigen Schieber angeordneten Feder teilweise aus der Hülse ausschiebbar ist, wobei der Schieber gegen ein vollständiges Kippen in dem Magazin gesichert, in diesem geführt und mit seitlichen Vorsprüngen versehen ist, von denen einer einen in dem Steg des Magazins angeordneten Längsschlitz durchsetzt und in eine in Längsrichtung der Hülse verlaufende Nut der Innenwand der Hülse eingreift und der andere Vorsprung in eine weitere Längsnut der Hülse eingreift, welche Längsnuten an dem Ausschubende der Hülse zumindest teilweise abgeschlossen sind und Anschläge für die Vorsprünge des Schiebers bilden.The invention relates to a tablet dispenser which has a sleeve and a magazine guided in this sleeve for receiving a stack of tablets, which has a substantially U-shaped cross section and a bottom connecting the legs and for filling purposes against the force of a between the bottom of the Magazine and a slidably guided in this and in the sleeve, acting as a spring plate acting cup-like slide spring can be partially pushed out of the sleeve, the slide being secured against complete tilting in the magazine, guided in it and provided with lateral projections, of which one penetrates a longitudinal slot arranged in the web of the magazine and engages in a groove running in the longitudinal direction of the sleeve of the inner wall of the sleeve and the other projection engages in a further longitudinal groove of the sleeve, which longitudinal grooves are at least partially closed at the extending end of the sleeve, and Ansc Form a stop for the projections of the slide.

Ein solcher Tablettenspender wurde beispielsweise durch die AT-PS 362 073 bekannt und hat sich sehr bewährt.Such a tablet dispenser was known for example from AT-PS 362 073 and has proven very successful.

Es hat sich jedoch gezeigt, daß es bei einem unsachgemäßen Gebrauch eines solchen Tablettenspenders, z.B. bei einem Herausreißen des Magazines, wobei es zu einer teilweisen Zerstörung der Hülse durch Wegbrechen der Anschläge oder der Fortsätze des Schiebers kommt, die Möglichkeit besteht, daß die Feder oder der Schieber herausspringt, was unter Umständen zu Verletzungen führen kann.However, it has been found that improper use of such a tablet dispenser, e.g. if the magazine is torn out and the sleeve is partially destroyed by breaking off the stops or the extensions of the slide, there is the possibility that the spring or the slide will pop out, which can lead to injuries under certain circumstances.

Ziel der Erfindung ist es, auch bei einem unsachgemäßen Gebrauch eines Tablettenspenders der eingangs erwähnten Art, die üblicherweise aus Kunststoff hergestellt werden, eine Gefährdung des Benutzers zu vermeiden und insbesondere ein Herausspringen der Feder sicher zu verhindern.The aim of the invention is to avoid endangering the user and, in particular, to reliably prevent the spring from jumping out, even when the tablet dispenser of the type mentioned at the outset, which is usually made of plastic, is used improperly.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, daß der den Schlitz des Magazins durchsetzende Vorsprung des Schiebers mit einem Hammerkopf versehen ist und ein vorzugsweise in Bodennähe des Magazins an diesem angeordneter Fangstift zwischen zwei Windungen der Feder eingreift.According to the invention, this is achieved in that the projection of the slide passing through the slot of the magazine is provided with a hammer head and a preferably in Ground level of the magazine engages on this catch pin between two turns of the spring.

Durch diese Maßnahmen wird erreicht, daß der Schieber, da er mit seinem Hammerkopf den Steg des Magazines hintergreift, im Falle eines gewaltsamen Herausreißens des Magazines aus der Hülse nicht mehr wegspringen kann. Dies verhindert aber auch ein Wegspringen der in den hohlprismatischen Schieber eingreifenden Feder. Dabei wird die Feder noch zusätzlich durch den zwischen zwei Windungen der Feder eingreifender Fangstift gesichert.These measures ensure that the slide, since it engages behind the web of the magazine with its hammer head, can no longer jump away from the sleeve in the event of violent tearing out of the magazine. However, this also prevents the spring engaging in the hollow prismatic slide from jumping away. The spring is additionally secured by the catch pin that engages between two turns of the spring.

Um das Einsetzen des Schiebers in das Magazin zu erleichtern kann vorgesehen sein, daß sich die seitlichen Flächen des Hammerkopfes gegen dessen freie Stirnfläche zu einander annähern und mit der in Richtung des Stils des Hammerkopfes verlaufenden Achse einen Winkel von vorzugsweise 30° einschließen. Dies ermöglicht auf sehr einfache Weise ein Aufweiten des Längsschlitzes des Steges des Magazins beim einfachen Eindrücken des Schiebers in das Magazin an dessen offener Seite.In order to facilitate the insertion of the slide into the magazine it can be provided that the lateral surfaces of the hammer head approach each other against its free end face and enclose an angle of preferably 30 ° with the axis running in the direction of the style of the hammer head. This enables the longitudinal slot of the web of the magazine to be widened in a very simple manner by simply pushing the slide into the magazine on its open side.

Weiter kann vorgesehen sein, daß die dem Boden des Magazines zugekehrte Unterseite des Hammerkopfes gegen dessen freie Stirnfläche zu schräg nach oben zu geneigt verläuft und mit der Aufstandsebene des Schiebers vorzugsweise einen Winkel von 45° einschließt. Dadurch bildet die schräg verlaufende Unterseite des Hammerkopfes eine Auflauffläche, die das Eindrücken des Magazines samt dem in dieses eingesetzten Schieber in die Hülse, wobei diese aufgeweitet wird erleichtert, wobei der Hammerkopf in die für diesen in der Hülse vorgesehene Nut, die am ausschubseitigen Ende der Hülse zumindest teilweise durch einen Querriegel abgeschlossen ist, einschnappt.It can further be provided that the underside of the hammer head facing the bottom of the magazine runs inclined upward towards the free end face thereof and preferably encloses an angle of 45 ° with the contact plane of the slide. As a result, the oblique underside of the hammer head forms a run-up surface which facilitates the pressing of the magazine together with the slider inserted into the sleeve, which is widened, the hammer head being inserted into the groove provided for this in the sleeve, which is at the extension-side end of the sleeve Sleeve is at least partially closed by a cross bar, snaps.

Um den Schieber in der Hülse zu zentrieren und dadurch ein Herausziehen des Schiebers und des durch diesen in der Hülse gehaltenen Magazins zu erschweren, kann weiters vorgesehen sein, daß der Nutgrund einer jeden, einen Vorsprung des Schiebers aufnehmenden Nut der Hülse im Bereich deren Ausschubendes ansteigt, so daß sich der lichte Abstand zwischen den einander gegenüberliegenden Nutgründen gegen das Ende einer jeden Nut zu vermindert, wobei der Anstiegswinkel vorzugsweise 3° beträgt.In order to center the slide in the sleeve and thereby make it difficult to pull out the slide and the magazine held in the sleeve by this, it can further be provided that the groove base of each groove of the sleeve receiving a projection of the slide increases in the region of the end of its extension , so that the clear distance between the opposing groove bases to reduce towards the end of each groove, the angle of rise is preferably 3 °.

Weiter kann vorgesehen sein, daß die Hülse in deren ausschubseitigen Endbereich von den beiden, von den Seitenwänden der Hülse gebildeten Eckbereichen ausgehende, an der der inneren Stegfläche des Magazins zugekehrten Fläche der Hülse angeordnete und gegen das Innere der Hülse ansteigende Spreiznasen aufweist, welche die Schenkel des Magazines in dessen eingeschobenem Zustand auseinander spreizen.It can further be provided that the sleeve in its ejection-side end area from the two corner areas formed by the side walls of the sleeve, arranged on the surface of the sleeve facing the inner land surface of the magazine, and expanding against the inside of the sleeve, has expansion lugs which have the legs spread the magazine apart in its inserted state.

Damit wird erreicht, daß die Schenkel des Magazins, das meist aus Kunststoff hergestellt wird und dessen Schenkel daher meist einer Tendenz zeigen, sich nach innen zu biegen und damit die Tabletten zu klemmen, im Bereich des Ausgabeendes des Tablettenspenders nach außen gedrückt werden, wodurch eine Klemmung der Tabletten und damit Schwierigkeiten bei deren Ausgabe vermieden werden.This ensures that the legs of the magazine, which is usually made of plastic and therefore the legs usually show a tendency to bend inwards and thus clamp the tablets, are pressed outwards in the region of the dispensing end of the tablet dispenser, thereby causing a Clamping of the tablets and thus difficulties in dispensing them can be avoided.

Der Tablettenspender 1 besteht im wesentlichen aus der Hülse 17, dem im Inneren der Hülse 17 axial ver schiebbaren Magazin 18, welches die strichliert angedeuteten Tabletten 19 aufnimmt, und dem durch die Feder 20 belasteten Schieber 21, welcher die Tabletten 19 gegen das obere Ende bzw. Ausgabeende des Tabletten spenders 1 drückt. Die Feder 20 stützt sich an dem Boden des Magazines 18 ab, das an seiner Rückseite einen Längsschlitz 22 aufweist, den der Schieber 21 mit einem Ansatz durchsetzt und das an seiner Vorderseite durchgehend offen ist, um das Einlegen eines Stapels von Tabletten bei nach oben ausgezogenem Magazin 18 zu ermöglichen. Der Schieber 21 greift mit seinen Ansätzen 5,5ʹ in Nuten 7,7ʹ der Hülse 17 ein, die vor dem oberen Ende der Hülse 17 enden.The tablet dispenser 1 consists essentially of the sleeve 17, the inside of the sleeve 17 axially slidable ver magazine 18, which receives the tablets 19 indicated by broken lines, and the spring 21 loaded slide 21, which the tablets 19 against the upper end or The dispensing end of the tablet dispenser 1 presses. The spring 20 is supported on the bottom of the magazine 18, which has a longitudinal slot 22 on its rear side, which the slider 21 penetrates with a shoulder and which is continuously open on its front side, in order to insert a stack of tablets in the upward direction extended magazine 18 to allow. The slider 21 engages with its approaches 5.5ʹ in grooves 7.7 7 of the sleeve 17, which end before the upper end of the sleeve 17.

An seinem oberen Ende weist das Magazin 18, an dessen Seitenwänden die in Bohrung des Deckelteils 2 eingreifenden Zapfen 3 außen angeformt sind, eine seine Seitenwände verbindende Brücke 23 auf, die mit einem als Feder wirkenden Fortsatz 24 versehen ist. An dessen freiem Ende stützt sich hinter der durch die strichliert angedeuteten Zapfen 3 bestimmten Drehachse ein an der Innenseite des Deckelteils 2 angeformter Ansatz 25 ab, sodaß der Deckelteil 2 in Schließrichtung federbelastet ist.At its upper end, the magazine 18, on the side walls of which the pins 3 engaging in the bore of the cover part 2 are molded on the outside, has a bridge 23 connecting its side walls, which is provided with an extension 24 acting as a spring. At its free end, an extension 25 formed on the inside of the cover part 2 is supported behind the axis of rotation determined by the pin 3 indicated by the broken line, so that the cover part 2 is spring-loaded in the closing direction.

Die Tabletten 19 werden durch den Schieber 21 nach oben gedrückt bis die oberste Tablette an der Brücke 23 ansteht. Wird nun der Deckel gedreht, so stößt der Fortsatz 6 des Deckelteils 2 an der Rückseite der Tablette 19 an und schiebt diese in weiterer Folge durch die sich zwischen der Oberkante der Hülse 17 des Tablettenspenders 1 und der Unterkante des Deckelteils 2 bildende Öffnung nach vorne aus, so daß diese leicht entnommen werden kann. Wird der Deckel losgelassen, so wird er durch die Federwirkung des Fortsatzes 24 in seine dargestellte Ausgangslage zurückgedreht, und der Schieber 21 schiebt den verbliebenen Stapel nach oben bis die nächste Tablette 19 an der Brücke 23 ansteht.The tablets 19 are pushed upwards by the slide 21 until the uppermost tablet contacts the bridge 23. If the lid is now rotated, the extension 6 of the lid part 2 abuts the back of the tablet 19 and subsequently pushes it forward through the opening formed between the upper edge of the sleeve 17 of the tablet dispenser 1 and the lower edge of the lid part 2 so that it can be easily removed. If the lid is released, it is rotated back into its illustrated starting position by the spring action of the extension 24, and the slide 21 pushes the remaining stack upwards until the next tablet 19 is in contact with the bridge 23.

Wie aus Fig. 2 und 3 ersichtlich ist, weist das im Querschnitt im wesentlichen U-förmige Magazin 18 Verbreiterungen 9,10 auf, welche für einen festen Halt des vollständig in die Hülse 17 eingeschobenen Magazins 18 sorgen. Weiters ist ein Ansatz 11 vorgesehen, welcher ein Durchschieben des Magazins 18 durch die Hülse 17 verhindert.As can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3, the magazine 18, which is essentially U-shaped in cross section, has widenings 9, 10, which ensure a firm hold of the magazine 18 fully inserted into the sleeve 17. Furthermore, an extension 11 is provided which prevents the magazine 18 from being pushed through the sleeve 17.

Im unteren Bereich des Magazins 17 weist dieses eine an einen Schenkel bzw. Seitenwand 12 angeformte Nase 4 auf. Der Anstieg dieser Nase 4 ist als Rundung ausgeführt. Diese Nase 4 gleitet in einer der Nuten 13 der Hülse 17 (Fig. 8).In the lower area of the magazine 17, this has a nose 4 molded onto a leg or side wall 12. The rise of this nose 4 is designed as a curve. This nose 4 slides in one of the grooves 13 of the sleeve 17 (Fig. 8).

Wie aus Fig. 6 und 7 ersichtlich ist, enden die Nuten 7 bzw 7ʹ und die Nuten 13 vor dem oberen Ende der Hülse 17. Wird daher das Magazin 18 nach oben aus der Hülse 17 ausgeschoben, so läuft die Nase 4 des Magazins 18 auf das Ende einer Nut 13 auf, wodurch aufgrund der Abrundung oder der Abschrägung der Nase 4, deren Höhe h dem zwischen dem an die Nase 4 angrenzenden Bereich des Magazins 18 und dem an das Ende der Nut 13 angrenzenden Bereich der Hülse 17 vorgesehenen Spiel entspricht, diese zumindest teilweise aus der Nut 13 heraustritt, sodaß es zumindest zu einem Haft- wenn nicht zu einem Preßsitz zwischen dem Magazin und der Hülse kommt, wen ersteres soweit aus der Hülse 17 gezogen ist, daß die Nase 4 auf dem Nutende aufgelaufen ist oder zumindest teilweise aus der Nut 13 herausgezogen ist. Damit wird verhindert, daß die Feder 20, die am Boden des Magazins 18 und bei leerem Magazin über den Schieber 21 bzw. dessen Fortsätze 5,5ʹ an der Hülse 17 bzw. deren durch die axialen Begrenzungen der Nuten 7,7' gebildeten Anschläge 14,14ʹ abgestützt ist, das Magazin 18 wieder in die Hülse 17 hineindrückt.As can be seen from FIGS. 6 and 7, the grooves 7 and 7ʹ and the grooves 13 end in front of the upper end of the sleeve 17. If the magazine 18 is therefore pushed upwards out of the sleeve 17, the nose 4 of the magazine 18 opens the end of one Groove 13, whereby due to the rounding or beveling of the nose 4, the height h of which corresponds to that provided between the area of the magazine 18 adjoining the nose 4 and the area of the sleeve 17 adjoining the end of the groove 13, this clearance at least partially emerges from the groove 13, so that there is at least an adhesion if not a press fit between the magazine and the sleeve, whom the first is pulled so far from the sleeve 17 that the nose 4 has run up on the groove end or at least partially from the Groove 13 is pulled out. This prevents the spring 20, which on the bottom of the magazine 18 and when the magazine is empty, via the slide 21 or its extensions 5.5 'on the sleeve 17 or the stops 14 formed by the axial boundaries of the grooves 7, 7' , 14ʹ is supported, the magazine 18 pushes back into the sleeve 17.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Freistellung für die Nase 4 als Nut 12 ausgebildet. Dies ist jedoch keinesfalls erforderlich und es könnte auch eine sich über die gesamt Breite der Hülse 17 erstreckende Freistellung vorgesehen werden, wobei die Nuten 7,7' selbstverständlich beibehalten werden müßten und die Ansätze 5,5ʹ des Schiebers 21 dementsprechend weiter vorkragend ausgeführt werden müßten. Enden müßte eine solche Freistellung ebenso wie die Nuten 13 vor dem einen Ende der Hülse, bzw. es müßte dort ein entsprechender, nach innen vorspringender Ansatz vorgesehen werden.In the illustrated embodiment, the exemption for the nose 4 is designed as a groove 12. However, this is by no means necessary and an exemption extending over the entire width of the sleeve 17 could also be provided, the grooves 7, 7 'of course having to be retained and the shoulders 5,5' of the slide 21 accordingly having to be cantilevered. Such an exemption would have to end just like the grooves 13 in front of one end of the sleeve, or a corresponding, inwardly projecting approach would have to be provided there.

Wie aus Fig. 4 und 6 ersichtlich sind im Bereich des oberen bzw. des ausschubseitigen Endes der Hülse 17 Spreiznasen 30 angeordnet, die von den durch die Seitenwände 31 und der dem Steg 32 des in die Hülse 17 eingeschobenen Magazines 18 zugekehrte Innenfläche 33 derselben gebildeten Ecken weg von unten nach oben und gleichzeitig von den Ecken gegen die Mitte des Qerschnittes der Hülse zu ansteigen. Diese Spreiznasen 30 wirken mit den Verbreiterungen des Magazins 16 zusammen, das üblicherweise aus relativ elastischem Kunststoff hergestellt ist. Dadurch wird sichergestellt, daß die Schenkel bzw. Seitenwände 12 des Magazins 18 im voll in die Hülse 17 eingeschobenen Zustand auseinandergedrängt werden und eine Klemmung der Tabletten 19 im Ausgabebereich verhindert wird.As can be seen from FIGS. 4 and 6, spreading lugs 30 are arranged in the area of the upper and the extension-side end of the sleeve 17, which are formed by the inner surface 33 thereof facing the side walls 31 and the web 32 of the magazine 18 inserted into the sleeve 17 Corners rise from the bottom up and at the same time rise from the corners towards the center of the cross section of the sleeve. These expanding lugs 30 interact with the widenings of the magazine 16, which is usually made of relatively elastic plastic. This ensures that the legs or side walls 12 of the magazine 18 are pushed apart when fully inserted into the sleeve 17 and that the tablets 19 are not jammed in the dispensing area.

Die Verbreiterungen 10 des Magazins 18 kommen bei vollständig in die Hülse 17 eingeschobenem Magazin 18 an Vorsprüngen 34 (Fig. 4, 7) der Hülse zur Anlage, wodurch ein sicherer Halt des Magazins 18 in der Hülse 17 auch bei vollem Magazin gewährleistet wird.The widenings 10 of the magazine 18 come into contact with projections 34 (FIGS. 4, 7) of the sleeve when the magazine 18 is completely inserted into the sleeve 17, as a result of which a secure hold of the magazine 18 in the sleeve 17 is ensured even when the magazine is full.

Wie aus den Fig. 1, 5 und 8 deutlich zu ersehen ist, weisen die Nuten 7, 7ʹ der Hülse unterschiedliche Tiefen auf, wobei die Nut 7 an ihrem oberen bzw. ausschubseitigen Ende nur teilweise durch einen Riegel 35 verschlossen ist, der den Anschlag 14 für einen Ansatz 5 des Schiebers 21 bildet.1, 5 and 8 can be clearly seen, the grooves 7, 7ʹ of the sleeve have different depths, the groove 7 is only partially closed at its upper or extension end by a bolt 35 which stops the stop 14 for a shoulder 5 of the slide 21 forms.

Der Schieber 21 ist, wie aus Fig. 1, 9 und 10 ersichtlich, napfförmig ausgebildet und nimmt in seinem Inneren einen Endbereich der Feder 20 auf. Dabei durchsetzt der Ansatz 5 des Schiebers, der wie aus Fig. 10 ersichtlich ist an seinem freien Ende einen Hammerkopf 40 aufweist, dessen Seitenflächen 41 gegen die freie Stirnfläche 42 zu konvergieren, den Schlitz 22 des Steges 32 des Magazins 18 und greift mit seinem Hammerkopf 40 in die Nut 7 der Hülse 17 ein. Die Seitenfläche 41 des Hammerkopfes schließen mit der Längsmittelebene des Ansatzes 5 bzw. dessen den Hammerkopf 40 mit dem Schieber verbindenden Stiel einen Winkel von ca. 30° ein.1, 9 and 10, the slide 21 is cup-shaped and accommodates an end region of the spring 20 in its interior. The extension 5 of the slide, which, as can be seen from FIG. 10, has a hammer head 40 at its free end, the side surfaces 41 of which converge against the free end surface 42, penetrates the slot 22 of the web 32 of the magazine 18 and engages with its hammer head 40 in the groove 7 of the sleeve 17. The side surface 41 of the hammer head enclose an angle of approximately 30 ° with the longitudinal center plane of the extension 5 or its handle connecting the hammer head 40 with the slide.

Die Montage des Schiebers 21 in dem Magazin 18 erfolgt einfach in der Weise, daß die Feder 20 in das Magazin 18 eingeschoben wird, wobei der von den Steg 32 gegen die offene Seite des Magazins zu abstehende Fangstift 43 zwischen zwei Windungen der Feder 20 eindringt und diese sichert. Danach wird der Schieber 21 auf das freie Ende der Feder 20 gestülpt und der Ansatz 5 desselben durch den Schlitz 22 des Steges 32 des Magazines 18 gedrückt, wobei der Schlitz 22 durch die schrägen Seitenflächen 41 des Hammerkopfes 40 aufgeweitet wird.The slide 21 is simply mounted in the magazine 18 in such a way that the spring 20 is inserted into the magazine 18, the catch pin 43 to be projecting from the web 32 against the open side of the magazine penetrating between two turns of the spring 20 and this secures. Thereafter, the slide 21 is slipped onto the free end of the spring 20 and the extension 5 thereof is pressed through the slot 22 of the web 32 of the magazine 18, the slot 22 being widened by the oblique side surfaces 41 of the hammer head 40.

Nach dem Einführen des Magazins 18 in die Hülse 17 wird der Schieber 21 durch Druck auf dessen dem Ansatz 5 näheren Seite soweit schräggestellt, daß der Ansatz 5 unter dem Anschlag 14ʹ der Hülse 17 zu Liegen kommt, wonach das Magazin 18 vollständig in die Hülse 17 angeschoben wird. Dabei kommt es zu einer Aufweitung der Hülse 17 durch das Eindringen des vorstehenden Ansatzes 5 des Schiebers 21, bis dieser unter dem Riegel 35 einschnappt. Dieses Aufweiten der Hülse 17, die üblicherweise aus Kunststoff hergestellt ist, wird durch die gegen die Aufstandsfläche des Schiebers um etwa 45° schräg gegen die freie Stirnfläche 42 nach oben zu geneigt verlaufende Unterseite 44 des Ansatzes 5 bzw. dessen Hammerkopfes 40 erleichtert.After inserting the magazine 18 into the sleeve 17, the slide 21 is inclined so far by pressure on the side near the extension 5 that the extension 5 comes to rest under the stop 14ʹ of the sleeve 17, after which the magazine 18 is completely in the sleeve 17th is pushed. This causes the sleeve 17 to expand due to the penetration of the protruding shoulder 5 of the slide 21 until it snaps under the latch 35. This expansion of the sleeve 17, which is usually made of plastic, is by the against the contact surface of the slider by about 45 ° inclined against the free end face 42 upwardly inclined underside 44 of the extension 5 or its hammer head 40 facilitates.

Nach dem vollständigen Einschieben des Magazins 18 samt dem Schieber 21 kann dieser aufgrund seiner Abmessungen, insbesondere seiner Höhe in dem Magazin 18 bzw. der Hülse 17 nicht mehr genügend weit gekippt werden um ein Hinausgleiten des Ansatzes 5 oder 5ʹ aus der entsprechenden, durch die Anschläge 14, 14ʹ begrenzten Nut 7, 7ʹ zu ermöglichen.After the complete insertion of the magazine 18 together with the slide 21, due to its dimensions, in particular its height in the magazine 18 or the sleeve 17, the latter can no longer be tilted sufficiently to slide the attachment 5 or 5 'out of the corresponding one through the stops 14, 14ʹ limited groove 7, 7ʹ.

Eine vollständige Trennung von Magazin 18 und der Hülse 17 ist nur unter Beschädigung bzw. Zerstörung der Hülse 17, die zweckmäßigerweise aus einem spröderen Material als der Schieber 21 hergestellt ist, möglich, wobei die Anschläge 14, 14ʹ bzw. der Riegel 35 herausgebrochen werden müssen.A complete separation of the magazine 18 and the sleeve 17 is only possible if the sleeve 17 is damaged or destroyed, which is expediently made of a more brittle material than the slide 21, the stops 14, 14 'or the bolt 35 having to be broken out .

In einem solchen Fall bleibt aber die Feder 20 und der Schieber 21 in dem Magazin 18, da der Ansatz 5 des Schiebers 21 mit seinem Hammerkopf den Steg 32 des Magazines hintergreift und daher mit dem Magazin verbunden bleibt. Damit kann aber auch die Feder 20 nicht wegspringen, da diese von dem Schieber gehalten wird und ihr anderes Ende praktisch zwischen dem Boden des Magazins 18 und dem Fangstift 43 gehalten ist. Die Feder 20 kann sich daher im Falle eines uns achgemäßen Gebrauchs des Tablettenspenders lediglich aus dem Magazin 18 her ausbiegen, sodaß eine Gefährdung durch die spitzen Enden der Feder vermieden ist.In such a case, however, the spring 20 and the slide 21 remain in the magazine 18, since the lug 5 of the slide 21 engages behind the web 32 of the magazine with its hammer head and therefore remains connected to the magazine. However, this also means that the spring 20 cannot jump away since it is held by the slide and its other end is practically held between the bottom of the magazine 18 and the catch pin 43. The spring 20 can therefore only bend out of the magazine 18 in the event of us using the tablet dispenser appropriately, so that a risk from the pointed ends of the spring is avoided.

Um den Schieber 21 im Bereich des ausschubseitigen Endes der Hülse 17 in dem von der Hülse und dem Magazin begrenzten Raum zu zentrieren und daher ein Verkanten des Schiebers 21 zu erschweren, steigt der Nutgrund 50, 50ʹ der Nuten 7, 7ʹ im Bereich nach dem Riegel 35, bzw. dem Anschlag 14ʹ leicht an, wobei der Anstieg ca. 3° beträgt.In order to center the slide 21 in the region of the extension-side end of the sleeve 17 in the space delimited by the sleeve and the magazine and therefore to make it difficult to tilt the slide 21, the bottom of the groove 50, 50ʹ of the grooves 7, 7ʹ rises in the region after the bolt 35, or the stop 14ʹ slightly, the increase being about 3 °.
