Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tablet dispenser according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a tablet dispenser is known from GB-A-716 514.
  • Such tablet dispensers are preferred for easy to assemble into a column-like stack.
  • a main area of application of the tablet dispenser is for refreshment tablets and pastilles of rectangular prismatic basic shape, which lie flat against one another in the stack.
  • the drawer preferably bears even when the drawer position is fully inserted into the protective housing and extends beyond the opening edge of the protective housing Form side guides for the tablets in the ejector area.
  • the stops on the narrow sides of the pressure plunger are designed in the form of rigid lugs on the plunger, which is rigid in itself, and the longitudinal guides that form grooves or grooves are relatively shallow.
  • One lug of the pressure stamp inserted into the drawer reaches through the drawer opening used to insert the tablets and the second somewhat longer lug through a slot in the opposite drawer wall.
  • GB-A-716 514 it is intended to insert the pressure stamp by widening the opening of the protective housing so that the lugs can finally snap into the longitudinal guides.
  • This design has not proven itself in practice, since the opening of the protective housing forms a rigid ring that resists deformation, so that, if assembly is possible at all, thick-walled, relatively highly elastic and therefore expensive material is used to produce the protective housing must and the groove depth and thus the depth of engagement of the lugs is limited to small dimensions, through which insufficient security against ejection is not guaranteed.
  • a different type of assembly has been chosen in practice.
  • the spring is hung in a claw provided in the shop floor and the pressure stamp is inserted into the drawer via the tablet insertion opening. Then the pressure plunger is brought up to the shop floor by compressing the spring and the drawer is inserted into the protective housing through the insertion opening. The drawer (still with the spring compressed and the plunger holding the spring in the tensioned position) is held in a position inclined relative to the protective housing in order to reduce the projection distance of the stop lugs with respect to the insertion opening of the protective housing.
  • tablet dispensers of the type in question are pronounced mass articles in which the assembly costs have hitherto represented a large proportion of the total production costs.
  • a decisive disadvantage of the known tablet dispenser is that dismantling in the opening area is possible in the event of careless or willful handling or even slight damage to the protective housing. If, for example, the drawer is pulled out and tilted in a similar way to assembly, the stop lugs can emerge from the grooves and the spring, which is strongly pre-tensioned by pulling out the drawer, can spring out, whereby the plunger is also thrown out and the spring springs away in an uncontrolled path. Even minor damage to the protective housing in the area of the insertion opening can enable this unwanted automatic disassembly. Jumping out feathers can cause facial or eye injuries, so that the known tablet dispensers are questionable with regard to this danger per se and also because of the provisions of product liability.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a tablet dispenser of the type mentioned, which can be easily, preferably with at least partially relaxed spring and, if necessary, even installed on machines, and in which a random disassembly and the associated jumping off the pen, with the exception of the deliberate destruction of the entire tablet dispenser, is largely excluded.
  • the design according to the invention also makes it possible in practice to insert the pressure plunger with the spring into the drawer and to mount it in the protective housing when the drawer is already partially inserted and aligned with the protective housing by simply pushing the pressure plunger through the opening in the guide shaft.
  • Only the stamp or the attachment area of the tongues must be designed to be sufficiently elastically deformable.
  • the groove or grooves and the depth of engagement of the tongues in the grooves can be sufficiently deep or large so that secure guidance is ensured and pulling out of the stamp from the protective housing is reliably prevented.
  • a pulling action exerted on the drawer only increases the spreading process.
  • the divergent arrangement of the tongues results in a wedge shape that facilitates insertion. Disassembly is practically only possible by breaking the protective housing. Attempting to disassemble by tilting the extended drawer will not be successful until the housing breaks.
  • the embodiment according to claim 3 makes it possible to use a relatively heavy ejector head, which is secured in its end positions.
  • the tablet dispenser shown has a tubular protective housing 1 to which a foot part 2, which enables the dispenser to be set up, is molded.
  • This protective housing 1 forms a guide shaft 3 for a drawer 4, these two parts having an essentially rectangular cross section.
  • the narrow sides 5 of the protective housing 1 have continuous longitudinal grooves 6 of trapezoidal cross section formed from the bottom opening at the top end of the housing 1 by recessed wall parts 7 around an insert opening 9 adapted there to the shape of a bottom 8 of the drawer 4 are.
  • the drawer 4 has two side walls 10 which run on the side walls of the housing 1, an open front and a rear wall 11 and the floor 8 already mentioned.
  • a longitudinal slot 12 is provided in the rear wall 11.
  • the ejector head 20 is pivotally mounted on the extensions 14 about pivot pin 22 and carries an ejector claw 23 which engages between these extensions and, when the ejector head 20 is pivoted in the direction of the arrow 24, pushes the top tablet of the stack formed from the tablets to the left.
  • the edge of the cavity 21 closes off the tablet dispenser when the head 20 is in the closed position, the top tablet of the stack, the extensions 14, the pivot pin 22 and the bracket 16 and the counter-catch being received in this cavity 21.
  • the head 20 can be used as a decorative head z. B. as a head of an animal, mythical animal or fantasy.
  • a handle 25 which facilitates pivoting is provided, which can also form the brim of a hat or a cap for the head.
  • the head 20 is fixed both by the interaction of the parts 18, 19 in the position shown and in the ejector position pivoted to the right, in which the ejector 23 engages between the extensions 14 and pushes the top tablet out to the left.
  • the drawer 4 receives a pressure stamp 26, the top of which presses against the tablet stack 17.
  • the pressure stamp 26 has the basic shape of a bowl which is open at the bottom, with resilient tongues 28, 29 projecting outwards from the opposite, narrower end faces of this bowl, namely from the rim 27 of the bowl, one 29 of which protrude through the shop opening and the other 28 engage through the slot 12 in the grooves 6.
  • the spring tongues 28, 29 can be inserted with elastic deformation through the upper opening 9 of the protective housing, so that they spread into the grooves 6 in the position shown after passing the termination points 7.
  • a compression spring 31 is supported, which is designed as a helical spring, the jacket of which lies on a rectangular prism.
  • catch noses 32, 33 directed from the side wall of the cup-like cavity 30 of the pressure plunger 26 and from the shop side wall to the bottom of the bowl cavity 30 or to the shop floor 8 are formed, the spring in the compressed position with at least one gear between can pass through the bottom and the end of the nose 32, 33, this spring action being caught by the nose when the spring is relaxed.
  • the spring 31 is inserted into the drawer 4 and the plunger 26 is also inserted into the drawer, so that the spring tongue 28 protrudes through the longitudinal slot 12. Now the drawer 4 is partially pushed into the housing 1 from above, after which the pressure stamp 26 is pushed through the housing opening until its spring tongues 28, 29 spread out into the grooves. The assembly is now complete. If the drawer is now released, the spring 31, as long as a stack of tablets has not yet been inserted, presses the pressure ram 26 with the ends of its tongues 28, 29 forming the stop lugs against the ends 7 of the grooves 6 and also pushes the drawer into the insertion position shown. At the latest when the drawer is fully pulled out until the spring 31 is fully compressed, the last spring windings snap into the catch tabs 32, 33.
