  • the caliber (700) fits into the channel (601).
  • the selector slider (1514) is set according to the type of caliber (700) mounted on the lock (600). In the case of a caliber (700) having a cavity (703) on one side of its length only, the cursor (1514) is fixed in a position such that it guides the tablet to the side of the cavity (703) of the caliber (700). The tablet guided by the selector (514) enters the cavity (703) of caliber (700) clipped into the lock (600).
  • the caliber (700) is adapted to the size of the tablet so that it is slightly protrusion from the cylinder formed by the lock (600) (FIG. 7).
  • the means of distribution (515) cooperate with actuation means (516) which are consisting of an actuator button (516a) in the form of a base prism triangular. This button (516a) is placed at the level of the means of distribution (515).
  • One of the faces of the button (516a) opens, at rest, on the front side face (8) of the compartment (5).
  • the actuator button (516a) is likely to pivot around its sharpest edge (1516) which is parallel to the direction of the axis of the cylindrical pinion lock (600).

This return spring (530) returns the button (516a) in its rest position when it is no longer actuated, and therefore also by reverse movement of the racks, the pinion lock (600).
  • This two rack system has the advantage of minimizing the risk of accidental blockage of the distribution (515) and actuation means (516).
  • This compartment (5) is mechanically and so connected removable from the main module (2) thanks to locking means (501, 502) cooperating detachably with the attachment means (503, 504).
  • Each removable compartment therefore includes locking means (501, 502) as well as attachment means (503, 504).
  • First means locking (501) are constituted by a tongue (501) having the form a U.
  • the legs (1501) of the U are fixed between the face (12) of the cover, or upper face (12) and the compartment (5) in a housing (121, 122) (figure 3).
  • the base of the U (1511), thicker than the legs (1501), and elliptical shape clips into a light (504) formed in the face upper (12) of the adjacent compartment (5) by entering through a opening (1504).
  • the opening (1504) is formed between the upper face (12) of the cover and the body of the adjacent compartment (5).
  • the opening (1504) is perpendicular to the light (504) formed in the cover (12) of the compartment (5).
  • the light (504) has a shape complementary to that of the elliptical base (1511) of the tongue (501). This light (504) constitutes the attachment means for the tongue (501).
  • the light (504) is spared in the upper face (12) of the compartment (5) and is parallel to the edge common to the respectively upper (12) and lateral (10) faces of contact including the shutter (15).
  • the opening (1504), perpendicular to the light (504), through which the tongue (501) penetrates, is located on the upper end of the side face (10) which includes the shutter (15).
  • This side face (10) which comprises the shutter (15) constitutes a contact face between two compartments (5). In this way, when two compartments are connected, the flap (15) is not visible or accessible. This makes impossible the accidental opening of the pill box, and therefore the opening of the drug reservoir.
  • Second means of lock (502) consist of claws (502) located on the edge common to the faces, lateral (10) comprising the shutter (15), and lower (11), at the base of the compartment (5).
  • These claws (502) cling in the locking means (503) consisting of complementary holes.
  • These complementary holes (503) are located at the base of the compartment (5), on the edge common to the faces, lateral (7) which is opposite parallel to the face (10) comprising the shutter (15), and lower (11). This ridge is located opposite to that carrying the claws (502).
  • Each compartment (5) also includes its electronic means (505) located inside the cover (511) ( Figure 3), as well as male (520) and female (521) connection pins.
  • the compartment (5) also includes a access hatch (800) to the lock (600), closed by a lock cover cap (801) fixed for example, by four pins (803).
  • the hatch (800) allows to change the type of caliber (700) to adapt to the size of the tablets introduced into the reservoir (512) of the compartment (5).
  • a abacus can be produced to define the types of calibers (700) and selectors settings (514) to use for different types of medication.
  • Detection means (517) for the passage of the tablet ( Figure 7), consisting of a micro-contact device are positioned at proximity to the peripheral surface of the lock (600), in the well cylindrical (115), on the side of the back side face (9) of the compartment (5). These detection means are actuated by the projection (1511) of the tablet (20b) out of the lock during its rotation. This projection pushes a blade (1517) ( Figure 4c) which then establishes contact in an electrical circuit.
  • the compartment (5) also comprises means (518) for detecting the pressure on the actuating means ( Figure 8). These means are constituted by a micro-contact device actuated by a finger (1518) integral with the button (516a).
  • the compartment (5) also includes holding means (513) drugs to the reservoir base (512).
  • These means (513) consist of a pallet for maintaining the shape of a plate, for example, rectangular attached to a slider (not shown) sliding in a vertical channel (1513) located substantially in the middle of the back side face (9) of the compartment (5).
  • Elastic means (not shown) push the pallet towards the selection means (514) and distribution (515) of the base of the reservoir (512) of the compartment (5).
  • the pallet (513) presses on the pile of medicines contained into the reservoir (512) and facilitates their admission into the means of distribution (515) placed at the bottom of this tank.

This slot (540) is located nearby and parallel to the back side face (9). Slot (540) is suitable for receiving a data carrier (4) ( Figure 1) such as a card chip the size of a standard credit card for example.
  • each compartment (5) also includes warning means (6) consisting for example of a light-emitting diode (1006) connected to the electronic means (505).
  • This is housed in a diode holder tube (1016) opening onto the lateral face (8) at the front, parallel to the face lateral back (9) of the compartment (5).
  • This diode (1006) under the control of the electronic means of the main module, emits a signal luminous, for example flashing, to indicate to the patient the compartment (5) taking medication.
  • Warning means include also an audible warning device of known type (not shown). This buzzer can for example be triggered by means electronic (505) to warn the patient of taking medication. Then, the compartment concerned will be indicated by the light signal from the diode (1006) as previously described.
  • the main module (2) (figure 1) for its part, in addition to the warning means (6), means for data display (3) consisting for example of a display screen with liquid crystals. These means of viewing additional data (3) are arranged on its upper face (12).
