Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to an article dispensing device, and more particularly, to a tablet dispenser having a feed assist means to prevent bridging of tablets in the dispensing of a solid tablet or a predetermined number of such tablets of substantially uniform size from a storage area containing a relatively large number of tablets into a dispensing orifice upon operation of an actuating mechanism.
  • the present invention is particularly useful for dispensing disc-shaped reagent tablets in an automated clinical chemistry analyzer.
  • reagent tablets in clinical chemistry analyzers are highly moisture-sensitive and, therefore, must be protected at all times from being exposed to even normal room humidity. Such exposure to ambient moisture will cause premature degradation of the reagent tablets, which may lead to inaccurate test readings. In addition, exposure to moisture may also cause the tablets to swell in size which may interfere with the reliable operation of the tablet dispenser.
  • a tablet dispenser which cures the above problem. It dispenses a solid tablet or a predetermined number of tablets of a substantially uniform size from a storage area containing a relatively large number of tablets into a dispensing orifice upon operation of an external actuating mechanism.
  • the tablet dispenser comprises a hollow body having an upper portion for storing the relatively large number of tablets and a lower base having the dispensing orifice formed in its bottom. Above the tablet dispensing orifice a gate member is mounted for reciprocal movement. The gate has a tablet receiving area formed therein. A field organizing member is mounted below the tablet storage portion and above the gate member. The organizing member, mounted for reciprocal movement, has a tablet receiving area formed therein which communicates with the tablet storage portion.
  • a means interconnects the gate member and organizing member, this interconnecting means causing them to reciprocate in directions opposite each other whereby the gate member may be reciprocated from a tablet dispense position, wherein its tablet receiving area is in communication with the tablet dispensing orifice, to a tablet receiving position, wherein its tablet receiving area is in communication with the tablet receiving area of the organizing member.
  • An actuating means is further included for causing reciprocal movement of the gate member and organizing member in response to the operation of the external actuating mechanism.
  • Bridging is a structured union of tablets forming a rigid, though perhaps fragile, structure between fixed walls which prevents the tablets from reaching the dispensing orifice.
  • This bridging or umbrella effect usually occurs in the storage means or at some point before the articles reach the dispensing orifice.
  • a bridging effect is most likely to occur when two or more tablets make contact with the interior walls of the storage means.
  • factors include the weight of the articles in the bridge, weight of the articles on the bridge, coefficients of friction of the articles, coefficients of friction of the interior walls, temperature, humidity, static charge, shape of the tablets, shape and angles of the interior walls of the dispensing device and other similar factors.
  • One previously used method of breaking up such a bridge among the articles is to place a wishbone-type member above the field organizing member in the upper storage portion of the hollow body in a device such as that disclosed in U.S. 4,405,060.
  • the wishbone type member was V-shaped with its two legs joined at a base portion having a mounting hole.
  • the wishbone-type member was pivotally mounted on a pin attached to the inside of the upper storage portion of the hollow body with the legs hanging down towards the field organizing member, the ends of the legs being in contact with and moving with the organizing member.
  • the organizing member was reciprocated the wishbone-type member pivoted about the pin and tended to break up any bridged tablets surrounding it, by not allowing any structure support of this bridge.
  • the present invention pertains to a different and novel structure for providing such anti-bridging action.
  • a tablet dispenser having a feed assist means to prevent bridging of tablets.
  • a flexible wall is provided in the feed channel.
  • the flexible wall is made of a resilient material having a thickness and shape to allow for a temporary reshaping.
  • Opposite the flexible wall is a rigid tapered wall to direct the tablets, in cooperation with the flexible wall, in a downward funnel type action towards an organizing member.
  • the flexible wall has a first end which is attached to the organizing member and is thereby moved upon movement of the organizing organizing member. A second end of the flexible wall is attached to a stationing portion of the dispenser.
  • the flexible wall in response to movement of the organizing member and in cooperation with the other walls in the feed channel, agitates and vibrates the tablets in the storage chamber thereby preventing the bridging of tablets and assisting in the feeding of the tablets to a dispensing orifice.
  • a feed assist means is provided with two flexible walls located in the feed channel which are substantially similar to the flexible wall described in the above-described embodiment.
  • the first ends of the flexible walls are attached to the organizing member adjacent opposite ends of a tablet receiving area, respectively.
  • the second ends of the flexible walls are attached to stationary portions of the dispenser.
  • the two flexible walls thus form a type of vibrating and agitating funnel to guide the tablets toward the dispensing orifice while preventing the bridging of the tablets.
  • the claimed invention is capable of operation in any type of dispensing device having an internally moving mechanism.
  • the invention as hereinafter employed is described in use with a tablet dispensing device.
  • Tablet dispenser 10 comprises a hollow body 12 having an upper portion 14 adapted for storing a relatively large number of tablets 20, and a lower base portion 16 having a dispensing orifice 30 formed in its bottom 18 of the dispenser or, for greater accuracy in dispensing tablet 21 into cuvette 81 the dispensing orifice may be downwardly extended as a barrel (not shown).
  • a gate member 40 is mounted within base portion 16 for reciprocal movement as shown by the directional arrows A above tablet dispensing orifice 30.
  • gate member 40 is formed as an elongated horizontal bar 42 having its bottom surface 44 resting on the inner bottom surface 17 of base portion 16.
  • Gate member 40 has a tablet receiving area 46 formed therein which, in the preferred embodiment, is formed as a slot 48 extending through elongated bar 42. The dimensional size of slot 48 is selected to permit a single tablet 21 (or a predetermined number of tablets in a multitablet dispense system) to enter and be held therein when gate member 40 is in its tablet receive position as illustrated in Figure 4.
  • a field organizing member 50 is also mounted within base portion 16 for reciprocal movement below tablet storage portion 14 and above gate member 40 as shown by directional arrows B .
  • field organizing member 50 is constructed essentially as a T-shaped member having an upper horizontal section 52 and feed slide section 54 depending downwardly from horizontal section 52.
  • a tablet receiving area 56 is formed through both upper horizontal section 52 and feed slide section 54 which communicates with tablet storage portion 14. As best shown in Figures 4 and 5, tablet receiving area 56, as it extends through feed slide section 54, is of sufficient length to store a number of tablets 20 in a single, substantially vertical stack. In this manner, the randomly arranged tablets 20 contained in storage portion 14 are organized into a single vertical column above gate member 40.
  • the column of tablets 20 in the tablet receiving area 56 acts as a sub-storage unit to temporarily supply tablets to the slot 48 for dispensing.
  • agitator means 58 which engages tablets 20 contained in storage portion 14.
  • agitator means 58 consists of a concave channel 59, formed in the upper surface 53 of horizontal section 52, which communicates with and guides tablets into the tablet receiving area 56 due to its concave shape.
  • the length of tablet receiving area 56 is selected so that it will store an integral number of tablets of a predetermined diameter, and concave channel 59 has an overall depth of slightly less than half of the diameter of tablet 21.
  • feed channel 32 is formed to be mounted into a corresponding receiving portion 15 formed in the lower area of the tablet storage portion 14.
  • the feed channel 32 has a rigid portion 35 and a resilient portion 28.
  • the rigid portion 35 has an inner tapered wall 33 which tapers from the lower end of storage portion 14 to the concave channel 59 of organizing member 50.
  • the resilient portion 28 has two attached ends 23 and 25.
  • the first end 23 is attached to the organizing member 50 at a point adjacent to the concave channel 59 of the agitator means 58.
  • the second end 25 is attached to a stationary rigid portion 35 of the feed channel 32.
  • the attachments of the ends 23 and 25 may be by any suitable means, such as being made hinged, pivotal, permanent or even detachable so as to facilitate assembly and disassembly.
  • the resulting shape of the resilient portion 28 is a semi-rigid bow shape so as to facilitate the feeding of the tablets 20 towards the receiving area 56. However, as described below, any suitable shape may be employed.
  • the resilient portion 28 can be made of any suitable material known in the art, such as plastic, rubber or elastomer thus producing a flexible wall in the feed channel.
  • the width of the wall 28 is substantially equivalent to the width of the inner feed channel 32.
  • the wall 28 is able to move without any substantial interference from the sidewalls in the feed channel 32.
  • the length and thickness of the wall combine to produce the proper resiliency needed in the feed channel.
  • the thickness, length or width may be made variable to better contribute in preventing the bridging of the tablets.
  • the first end 23 of the resilient portion 28 moves with the movement of the organizing member 50 as shown by directional arrows B, thereby changing the shape or position of the resilient member and moving the tablets 20 in the feed channel 32.
  • the movement of the tablets 20 in the feed channel 32 results from a first movement of the organizing member 50, as shown in Figure 5, causing a portion of the flexible wall 28 to move away from the tablets thereby removing support from on side of the tablets 20 in the feed channel 32 causing them to vibrate and move.
  • the resilient member 28 Upon movement back to its initial starting point, as shown in Figure 4, the resilient member 28 will again move the tablets 20 in the feed channel 32 and thereby regain its original bow shape.
  • the second movement of the organizing member 50 and the resulting movement of tablets 20 occurs from the exertion of force by the resilient portion 28 pushing and vibrating the tablets.
  • the shape of the resilient member need only be shaped to facilitate the downward movement of the tablets 20 and upon movement to agitate the tablets 20 in the feed channel 12.
  • the first end 23 of the resilient member 28 may be connected to a slidable mechanism located within the rigid portion 35. The slidable mechanism would move with the organizing member 50 thereby moving the resilient member 28 by means of moving its first end 23.
  • the inner areas 34 formed by the tapered wall 33 and resilient portion 28 of feed channel 32 may be utilized as a storage area for desiccant material (not shown) used for absorbing any moisture which may penetrate hollow body 12. It should be noted that if it is not desired to utilize inner areas 34 for storage for desiccant material, feed channel 32 may be integrally formed as a part of tablet storage portion 14 in order to reduce manufacturing and assembly cost.
  • Interconnecting member 60 Located between gate member 40 and organizing member 50 is an interconnecting member 60 which is utilized to reciprocate these members in directions opposite each other as is best shown in Figures 4 and 5.
  • Interconnecting member 60 is formed in this embodiment of the invention as a compressible lever arm 62, shaped in the general configuration of a figure eight, having one of its ends 64 pivotably fitted within an engaging notch 51 formed in the underside of horizontal section 52 of organizing member 50 and its other end 65 pivotably fitted within a similar engaging notch 41 formed in the upper side of elongated bar 42 of gate member 40.
  • Lever arm 62 is also pivotably mounted at its center by shafts 66 which engage mating receptacles 19 formed in the side walls of lower base portion 16.
  • FIG. 6 an enlarged sectional view of the feed channel 32 and organizing member 50 is shown.
  • a bridging of tablets 20 has formed in the feed channel 32 between the tapered wall 33 and the resilient portion 28.
  • the resilient member 28 moves, as shown in Figure 7, thereby moving or repositioning the support on one side of the bridging and causing the bridge of tablets 20 to move or vibrate and collapse (such as partially due to their own unsupported weight) into a proper feeding position, as shown in Figure 7.
  • the resilient member 28 moves back to its original position as the organizing member 50 moves back to its original position once again agitating the tablets 20 in the feed channel 32.
  • Compressible lever arm 62 serves several functions in the preferred embodiment apart from simply interconnecting gate member 40 and organizing member 50. It also acts as a spring which maintains gate member 40 securely against inner bottom surface 17 of the tablet dispenser base portion 16. Furthermore, since this compressed arm will continuously seek to expand to its greatest length, it will also serve as a detent mechanism which will tend to urge and lock gate member 40 and organizing member 50 in their fully reciprocated positions shown in Figures 4 and 5.
  • actuating means 70 Secured to feed slide section 54 of organizing member 50 is an actuating means 70 which causes reciprocal movement of the dispenser operating mechanism in response to an external actuating mechanism.
  • This external actuator is illustrated in Figure 1 as a C-­shaped member 80 into which T-portion 74 or other suitable engaging member formed on the external end of actuator arm 72 may be positioned.
  • the end 76 of actuator arm 72 opposite T-portion 74 is seated in a groove portion 55 formed in feed slide section 54.
  • Adjacent to actuator arm end 76 is formed a notch area 78 which engages a compression spring 57 extending from the bottom end of feed slide section 54.
  • Compression spring 57 also cooperates with compressible lever arm 62 to maintain gate member 40 securely against bottom 18 of tablet dispenser base portion 16.
  • a smaller surface area extended portion 43 may be formed on the underside of compression spring 57 which engages and reciprocates across surface 45.
  • FIG. 1 through 5 The embodiment of the present invention illustrated in Figures 1 through 5 is shown as providing a hermetical seal about the tablets contained in the dispenser. Due to the reciprocating nature of gate member 40 with respect to dispensing orifice 30 and field organizing member 50, no unsealed opening to ambient air exists which may permit moisture penetration into the dispenser. This remains true even during the dispensing of a tablet as is illustrated in Figure 5.
  • the hermetical seal system of this embodiment of the invention consists of an O-ring 82 which is sealingly disposed between the outer lip 22 of tablet storage portion 14 and inner lip 24 of the dispenser base portion 16.
  • Storage portion 14 is maintained in mating engagement with base portion 16 by means of a snap lock 36.
  • snap lock 36 consists of a series of fingers 37 formed on opposite sides of base portion 16 which lockingly engage a corresponding series of opening 38 formed in skirt portions 26 which downwardly depend from opposite sides of tablet storage portion 14.
  • fingers 37 may be formed with a fish hook shape which do not permit the separation of the storage portion 14 and base portion 16 once joined in assembly.
  • a bellows-type seal 84 encloses the opening in base portion 16 where actuator arm 72 enters it.
  • guide 26 Surrounding this opening is guide 26 which is formed as a part of base portion 16.
  • Guide 26 serves to align and support actuator arm 72, and it has a channel 27 formed about its periphery into which one of the ends of seal 84 sealingly fits.
  • the other end of seal 84 similarly engages a channel 73 formed about the periphery of actuator arm 72, thereby completing the seal of this opening into the interior of dispenser body 12.
  • O-ring 82 and bellows seal 84 may be constructed of rubber, elastomer or other material which provides a satisfactory moisture barrier and which is sufficiently resilient to satisfy the operational requirements of the seal.
  • dispenser body 12 The only other opening into dispenser body 12 is through tablet dispensing orifice 30. This opening is maintained constantly sealed, even during actuation of the dispenser, through the interaction of gate member 40 with orifice 30 and feed slide section 54 of field organizing member 50.
  • sealing material 86 Disposed on the inner surface of base bottom 18 is a sealing material 86 which may be made of urethane or similar material.
  • a tablet ramp 87 is formed in sealing material 86 which communicates at its lower end with dispensing orifice 30 and at its upper end with slot 48 of gate member 40 when in its tablet dispense position illustrated by Figure 5.
  • the bottom surface 44 of gate member horizontal bar 42 sealingly engages the upper surface 17 of sealing material 86, which becomes the inner bottom surface of base portion 16.
  • a pair of mounting ears 11 are formed along the lateral edge of dispenser body 12 which frictionally secure the dispenser to an appropriate carrying mechanism within the instrument.
  • insert guides 13 are formed on the side faces of dispenser body 12 in order to aid in orienting the dispenser within the instrument carrying mechanism. Mounting ears 11 and insert guides 13 must be precisely located on the dispenser body 12 with respect to orifice 30 in order to insure that the orifice will be properly aligned with respect to cuvette 81 when it is positioned at the tablet dispensing station.
  • the feed channel 32 and organizing member 50 are shown.
  • the feed channel 32 has two resilient portions 28 and 29.
  • the resilient portions 28 and 29 form walls adjacent the tablets 20 in the feed channel 32.
  • the first resilient portion 28 is attached at its first end 23 to the organizing member 50 at a point adjacent to the concave channel 59 of the agitator means 58.
  • the second end 25 of the first resilient portion 28 is attached to rigid portion 35.
  • the second resilient portion 29 forms a wall opposite the first resilient portion 28.
  • the second portion 29 has a first end 93 attached to the organizing member 50 at a point adjacent to the concave channel 59 of the agitator means 58 opposite the first resilient portion end 23.
  • the second end 95 of the second resilient portion 29 is attached to rigid portion 35 opposite the second end 25 of the first resilient portion 28.
  • the two resilient walls thus form a type of flexible funnel for the tables.
  • the movement of the organizing member 50 moves the respective first ends 23 and 93 of resilient portions 28 and 29.
  • the two walls 28 and 29, thus move when the organizing member 50 is moved thereby agitating and vibrating the tablets in the feed channel 32 to prevent a bridging of tablets 20.
  • a further alternative to the above-described embodiment would be to provide slidable members attached to the rigid portion 35 wherein the first end portions 23 and 93 are attached thereto and the slidable members move with the organizing member 50.
