Definitions

  • Dispensing dispensing device in particular for pills, homeopathic granules, (medicines) or other similar products.
  • the present invention relates to a device for dispensing by dosing simultaneously a determined number of homeopathic granules, tablets or similar products.
  • Certain pharmaceutical products and in particular homeopathic products which are often in the form of granules should preferably not be touched by the hands and are sold in suitable containers fitted with a stopper in which the granules are collected in order to bring them to the mouth.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks and mainly, the simultaneous dosing and distribution of a determined number of homeopathic granules.
  • the present model based on an example of a known homeopathic tube, allows a dosage of granules ranging from 1 to 4; that is to say either 1, 2, 3 or 4 granules on demand and issued at the same time.
  • Another object of the invention is to produce a dispenser of simple construction.
  • the metering distributor according to the invention incorporated in -or mounted on- a container containing the products in bulk is characterized by these two distinct parts.
  • the upper part which in the case of this model fits into the cover of the known type of tube, is composed of a solid disc with a diameter substantially smaller than the internal diameter of said cover, and a thickness equal to the diameter of the product contained in the tube of the type also known.
  • This disc is pierced with four orifices with a diameter substantially greater than the diameter of the product contained in the tube. These holes are arranged on the circumference of a circle located inside the disc and having the same center.
  • openings are open on two sides: towards the tube and towards the outside.
  • a flat cover attached to the top of the cover of the known type of tube, covers the openings on the side facing outwards so that, when this cover closes the openings, its flat surface comes into contact with the entire flat surface of the disc - so that it will only be possible for a single pellet to enter each orifice of the disc.
  • the lower part is inserted into the tube. It is composed of a hollow cylindrical drum with a diameter substantially less than the diameter of said tube except for its upper membrane or selective membrane which will have exactly the same diameter as the external diameter of the tube. So that, when this drum is inserted through its lower membrane or pre-selective membrane into the neck of the tube, the selective membrane cannot be introduced and will thus stop the sinking of the drum, thus covering the opening of the tube.
  • This hollow cylindrical drum has a depth greater than twice the diameter of a granule.
  • the pre-selective membrane is pierced with five orifices substantially greater than the diameter of a granule or, with four orifices with a diameter greater than the diameter of a granule. These orifices are arranged on the circumference of a circle located inside the preselective membrane. This circle has the same diameter and center as the circle on the disc.
  • the selective membrane is pierced with four orifices of different sizes.
  • the first is the same diameter as the diameter of the orifices of the disc.
  • the second is initially identical to the first, but widens on one side by a distance substantially less than a third of the diameter of the first orifice, so as to form an orifice stretched by one side.
  • the third stretches by a distance substantially less than two thirds of the same diameter and the fourth by a distance substantially less than the diameter of the first orifice.
  • These four different orifices are arranged on the circumference of a circle located inside the selective membrane. This circle has the same diameter and center as those on the disc and the preselective membrane.
  • the metering distributor uses the known tube on which a modification is brought about by the addition on the neck of said tube and on its external cylinder, of longitudinal grooves, as well as a longitudinal tooth grafted inside of the cover.
  • This metering distributor is also provided with a numbering engraved on the body of the tube.
  • the numbers in this numbering are embossed relative to the body of the tube, and are either in Braille or in Arabic characters. There is also a raised mark on the tube cover. This system makes it possible to choose the number of granules desired even by blind people.
  • a metering distributor according to the invention, the disc of which comprises four orifices thus giving the choice of simultaneously extracting a number of granules varying from 1 to 4. This number of possibilities may vary and extend beyond four, depending on the diameter of the container relative to the diameter of the objects to be distributed.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the metering dispenser according to the invention, incorporated in a tube of known type.
  • the flat cover added to it is wide open.
  • FIG. 1a represents an aerial view of the cover of the tube thus making it possible to see the longitudinal tooth.
  • Figures 2a and 2b are a perspective view of the two components of the metering distributor according to the invention.
  • Figures 3a, 3b and 3c are an aerial view of these same elements.
  • FIG. 4 shows these two elements superimposed during the operation of this metering distributor according to the invention.
  • Figures 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d and 5e show the different combinations of openings of the orifices of the two elements making up this metering dispenser according to the invention, thus making it possible to obtain the prescribed dose.
  • Figures 6a and 6b are longitudinal sections of the metering distributor, according to the invention, during its operation.
  • the metering distributor according to the invention consists of two elements:
  • This disc (1) is pierced with four holes (6, 7, 8, 9) Fig. 2a and 3a, open on both sides, of a diameter (10) substantially greater than the diameter of the largest granule (11) FIG. 6 and a depth (12) Fig. 2a equal to the diameter of the same granule.
  • the holes (6, 7, 8, 9) are arranged on the circumference of a circle (13) Fig. 3a inside the disc (1) and on its face.
  • This disc (1) is inserted into the cover (4) of the tube (5).
  • the hollow cylindrical drum (14) Fig. 2b has a selective membrane (15) Fig. 2b, 3b with a diameter (16) equal to the outside diameter (17) Fig. 1 from the neck of the tube (5).
  • the selective membrane (15) is pierced with four holes (18, 19, 20, 21) Fig. 3b of different widths.
  • the diameter (22) of the orifice (18) is substantially greater than the diameter of the largest granule (11).
  • the orifice (19) widens by a distance substantially less than a third of the arcuate diameter (23).
  • the orifice (20) widens by a distance substantially less than two thirds of the arcuate diameter (23).
  • the orifice (21) widens by a distance substantially less than the arcuate diameter (23).
  • These holes are arranged on the circumference of a circle (24) Fig. 3b inside the selective membrane (15) and on its face. This circle (24) is identical to the circle (13) of the disc (1).
  • These orifices (31) are arranged on the circumference of a circle (33) inside the pre-selective membrane (28) and on its face. This circle (33) is identical to the circle (13) and (24).
  • This hollow cylindrical drum (14) has a depth, airlock, (34) FIG. 2b substantially greater than twice the diameter of the largest granule (11).
  • the full disc (1) is inserted in the cover (4) and, the hollow cylindrical drum (14) is introduced into the tube (5) by its pre-membrane. selective (28) and sinks until the selective membrane (15) covers the opening of the tube (5).
  • the pre-selective membrane (28) allows the passage to an unspecified number - greater than 4 or 5 and less than twenty - of granules of the tube (5) inside (35) Figs. 2b, 6b of the cylindrical drum (14) which can only contain a limited number of granules (at most twenty).
  • the granules having crossed the pre-selective membrane (28) are in contact with the selective membrane (15) Figs. 6a and 6b, which will open or close depending on the position of the mark (36) Figs. 1 and 4 on the numbering (27), the number of corresponding orifices Figs. 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d and 5e.
  • Figure 5a allows us to see the disc (1) and the selective membrane (15) superimposed.
  • the holes (6, 7, 8, 9) of the disc (1) are all closed by the surfaces (37) located between the holes (18, 19, 20, 21) of the selective membrane (15).
  • the granules contained in the tube cannot be introduced into the openings of the disc. This is the zero position of the mark (36) Fig. 4.
  • FIG. 5b allows us to see position 1 of the reference (36).
  • An orifice (9) is open and will only receive a granule.
  • Figure 5c allows us to see position 2 of the reference (36). Two openings (9) and (6) are open.
  • Figure 5d allows us to see position 3 of the reference (36). Three openings (9), (6) and (7 ') are open.
  • Figure 5e allows us to see position 4 of the coordinate system. All the openings (9), (6), (7) and (8) are open. It is more particularly noted that the orifices (6, 7, 8, 9) of the disc (1) are in superposition with the orifices (18, 19, 20, 21) by their original circle.
  • the metering distributor according to the invention comprises a flat cover (43) Figs. 1 and 4 fixed on the cover (4) of the known type of tube (5).
  • This flat cover (43) according to the invention obstructs the orifices (6, 7, 8, 9) of the disc (1) thus not allowing and when it (43) closes the top of the cover (4) of the tube ( 5), that a pellet to house.
  • This flat cover (43) comprises according to the invention on its internal face a lug (38) Figs. 1 and 4 which sinks into the hollow (39) to keep it in the closed position.
  • This cover (43) comprises, according to the invention, a tongue (40) located at its periphery to allow easy and quick opening.
  • This metering distributor has provided the outer cylinder on the side of the tube with longitudinal grooves (42) FIG. 1 corresponding to each of the digits of the numbering (27) and the inside of the cover of said tube with a longitudinal tooth (41) so as to cause the mark (36) to be fixed exactly above each digit of the numbering (27 ′).
  • a click is heard when the tooth (41) passes over each groove (42).
  • the numbering (27 ′) mentioned above is composed of five figures in relief on the body of the tube (5). These figures can be in Arabic characters or in Braille, Fig. 1.
  • the mark (36) also in relief, is on the body of the cover (4) is on its lower edge Fig. 1.
  • the user To extract a precise number of granules, the user must place the mark (36) of the cover (4) on one of the four digits of the numbering (27), turn the tube upside down, so that the granules fall by their weight on the pre-selective membrane (28) thus eliminating the phenomenon of vault with the limited number of granules (from 4 to 12 approximately) passed from the tube (5) inside the hollow cylindrical drum (14). Said granules are in contact with the selective membrane (15) and its orifices, some of which have opened up following the first step mentioned above.
