Definitions

  • Fig. 1 shows a view of a dispenser according to the invention in the opened state.
  • a plate 1 there is a flat trough 2 which merges into a removal trough 3 on one side.
  • a fold 4 adjoins the plate 1, which facilitates the folding over of the closure part 5.
  • the closure part 5 has a protrusion 6 which is shaped such that it engages in the removal trough 3 when it is folded down and largely fills it.
  • a flat cover plate is applied to the plate 1, which completely covers the plate 1, except where the removal trough 3 (in which a tablet 3a is shown here) is located.
  • the cover plate has a recess above the removal trough 3; it enables the protrusion 6 to pass under slight pressure, the closure part 5 then being fixed on the cover plate by a clamp connection.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show a dispenser similar to that in FIGS. 4 and 5 viewed obliquely from above.
