Abstract

The dispenser, for the delivery of separate tablets and especially sweeteners, has a housing (1) with a closed base (5) as far as the tablet outlet opening (4) in one piece. The opening (8) in the housing (1) is as wide as the maximum inner dimensions within the housing (1) at the slide (2). The width of the slide (2) is slightly smaller than the inner dimensions of the opening (8) in the housing (1). The two inner side surfaces of the opening (8) in the housing (1) have the same gap size over a length matching the stroke movement length of the slide (2) during the dispensing of a tablet on the end setting of the slide on dispensing a tablet.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf Tablettenspender zur Einzeldosierung von Tabletten, insbesondere Süßstofftabletten mit runder oder ovaler Querschnittsform des Tablettenspenders, mit seitlicher Schieberbetätigung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to tablet dispensers for single dosage of tablets, especially sweetener tablets with a round or oval cross-sectional shape of the Tablet dispenser with side slide actuation according to the preamble of the claim 1.

Derartige Tablettenspender, in Form von Tisch- oder Taschendosen finden insbesondere für Süßstofftabletten Anwendung. Man kann sie z.B. über eine Tasse, deren Inhalt gesüßt werden soll, hatten und mit der gleichen Hand den Schieber zum Auswerfen einer Tablette betätigen.Such tablet dispensers, in the form of table or pocket tins, are found in particular for Sweetener tablets application. You can e.g. over a cup, the contents of which are sweetened should, had and use the same hand to operate the slide to eject a tablet.

Bekannt sind solche Tablettenspender beispielsweise nach DE-2538904.2 und DE-3217739. Bei diesen Ausführungen hat das Gehäuse eine runde oder ovale Querschnittsform. Alle diese Ausführungen haben eine überwiegend offene Bodenseite, was darin begründet ist, daß es technisch nicht möglich ist, das Kunststoffgehäuse des Tablettenspenders aus einem Stück mit einem geschlossenen Boden, wegen der vorhandenen Hinterschneidung bzw. Ausbuchtung hinter der Öffnung für den Schierer im Gehäuse, zu fertigen.Such tablet dispensers are known, for example, according to DE-2538904.2 and DE-3217739. In these versions, the housing has a round or oval cross-sectional shape. All these Versions have a largely open bottom side, which is due to the fact that it The one-piece plastic housing of the tablet dispenser is not technically possible with a closed bottom, due to the existing undercut or Bulge behind the opening for the sheer in the housing to be manufactured.

Der von unten überwiegend offene Boden des Tablettenspenders ist nachteilig, da an den Öffnungen bzw. Vertiefungen Schmutzteile hängenbleiben können. Auch die beim Hineinfallen der Süßstofftablette in die Tasse durch hochspritzenden Kaffee verursachten Flecken können schwer entfernt werden. The bottom of the tablet dispenser, which is mostly open from below, is disadvantageous because of the Openings or depressions can trap dirt particles. Even those falling in of the sweetener tablet in the cup stains caused by coffee splashing difficult to remove.

Insbesondere aus hygienischen, aber auch aus praktischen und ästhetischen Gründen wird gewünscht, daß der Gehäuseboden bis auf die Tablettenausfallöffnung geschlossen und die Tablettenausfallöffnung in der Ruhestellung von innen abgedeckt ist. Bei Sonderausführungen wird deshalb öfters ein zusätzliches Teil als Boden angefertigt und von unten in das Gehäuse eingesetzt, was die Ausführung erheblich verteuert.Especially for hygienic, but also for practical and aesthetic reasons wanted that the bottom of the case closed except for the tablet outlet and the Tablet discharge opening is covered from the inside in the rest position. For special versions Therefore, an additional part is often made as a base and from below into the housing used, which makes the execution considerably more expensive.

Es besteht deshalb die Aufgabe, einen Tablettenspender der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, bei welchem die guten Eigenschaften unverhändert erhalten bleiben, der Boden geschlossen ist, und das Gehäuse mit dem Boden aus einem Stück besteht.It is therefore the task of a tablet dispenser of the type mentioned at the beginning create the floor with the good properties unchanged is closed, and the housing with the bottom consists of one piece.

Die Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß die Öffnung im Gehäuse, die den Schieber aufnimmt, so groß gemacht wird, daß dahinter keine Hinterschneidung bzw. Ausbuchtung entsteht. Das geschieht dadurch, daß die Öffnung bis auf die breiteste Stelle im Gehäuse nach innen versetzt wird, so daß die Betätigungsfläche des Schiebers in diesem Bereich beinahe die Hälfte des Gehäusemantels ersetzt. Hierdurch ist das Entformen des Gehäuses mit geschlossenem Boden aus dem Spritzgußwerkzeug möglich.The object is achieved in that the opening in the housing which receives the slide, so is made great that there is no undercut or bulge behind it. The happens that the opening to the widest point in the housing inwards is offset so that the actuating surface of the slide in this area almost the Half of the housing shell replaced. This means that the housing is removed from the mold closed bottom possible from the injection mold.

Ein zusätzlicher Vorteil dieser Ausführung ist die viel größere Tastfläche am Schieber.An additional advantage of this version is the much larger tactile area on the slide.

Eine Verteuerung entsteht nicht, da bei der Konstruktion zwar der Boden hinzukommt, dafür aber im Innenraum drei Wandungen, die bei den bekannten Ausführungen den Schieber begrenzen und abdecken, wegfallen können.There is no increase in price, because the floor is added to the construction, but for that but in the interior three walls, the slide in the known designs limit and cover, can fall away.

Ein Tablettenspender dient zur Einzeldosierung und -ausgabe von Tabletten 11, insbesondere Süßstofftabletten. Dieser Tablettenspender in runder oder ovaler Querschnittsform besteht aus einem Gehäuse 1, dem Schieber 2 und dem Deckel 3. Im Gehäuse 1 befindet sich ein Behälter 6 für die Tabletten 11. Unterhalb des Behälters 1 liegt ein Schieber 2, der durch seine besondere, bekannte Konstruktion die im Behälter 6 befindlichen Tabletten 11 bei der Spenderbetätigung durch Drücken auf die Betätigungsflache 7 des Schiebers 2 vereinzelt und jeweils eine Tablette 11 durch die Tablettenausfallöffnung 4 ausgibt.A tablet dispenser is used for the individual dosing and dispensing of tablets 11, in particular Sweetener tablets. This tablet dispenser has a round or oval cross-sectional shape consisting of a housing 1, the slide 2 and the cover 3. In the housing 1 there is a Container 6 for the tablets 11. Below the container 1 is a slide 2, which by its Special, known construction, the tablets 11 located in the container 6 at the Dispenser actuation by pressing on the actuating surface 7 of the slide 2 and dispenses one tablet 11 each through the tablet drop opening 4.

Erfindungsgemäß ist die Öffnung 8 im Gehäuse 1 für den Schieber 2 so breit, wie das größte Innenmaß im Gehäuse 1, was beim runden Gehäuse 1 dem Innendurchmesser entspricht. Die Oberkante des Schiebers 2 liegt unter dem Behälter 6, der untere Rand des Schiebers 2 liegt und gleitet auf dem geschlossenen Boden 5 des Gehäuses 1. Die Betätigungsflache 7 des Schiebers 2 bildet in seinem Bereich etwas weniger als die Hälfte des Umfangs des Gehäuses 1 und das größte Breitenmaß des Schiebers 2 ist etwas kleiner als das Breitenmaß der Öffnung 8 im Gehäuse 1. Dieses Breitenmaß ist in der Öffnung 8 im Gehäuse 1 nach innen so lang erhalten, wie die Hublänge des Schiebers 2 ist, die sich durch die Endstellung 9 des verschobenen Schiebers 2 bei Spenderbetätigung ergibt.According to the invention, the opening 8 in the housing 1 for the slide 2 is as wide as the largest Inner dimension in housing 1, which corresponds to the inner diameter of round housing 1. The upper edge of the slide 2 is below the container 6, the lower edge of the slide 2 lies and slides on the closed bottom 5 of the housing 1. The actuating surface 7 the slider 2 forms in its area slightly less than half the circumference of the housing 1 and the largest width dimension of the slide 2 is slightly smaller than the width dimension the opening 8 in the housing 1. This width dimension is in the opening 8 in the housing 1 to the inside received as long as the stroke length of the slide 2, which is determined by the end position 9 of the shifted slide 2 when the dispenser is actuated.
