Definitions

  • the invention is for a pellet dispenser individually proportional output of spherical products, so-called pellets, preferably with one prismatic or cylindrical housing to accommodate the pellets to be dispensed into which a dispenser is inserted, the output slide limited stroke in his Position is changeable.
  • Dispenser for individually proportioned delivery of lumpy Products by a stroke-limited displacement of a Output device, wherein at a bottom opening Output is known.
  • a dispenser becomes individual portioned delivery of tablets described in which in a housing by pushing an actuation button parallel to the housing axis through a bottom opening single tablet is dispensed with the actuation button via a centrally arranged operating shaft with a Slider is connected.
  • German utility model 296 01 693.4 a tablet dispenser known with a prismatic housing with an open face and a laterally offset opening in the base.
  • this housing is inserted from above an inner part, consisting of a Slider and an actuation button, connected by a connecting element, which together form a structural unit in the sense of an inner housing form, in the upper part of which is the tablet storage room.
  • an inner part consisting of a Slider and an actuation button, connected by a connecting element, which together form a structural unit in the sense of an inner housing form, in the upper part of which is the tablet storage room.
  • This inner part moves to the upper part of the actuation button, wherein the slide is pushed through the bottom opening of the housing and releases a tablet.
  • the displacement of the inner part is stroke-limited by means of a web which, when the inner part moves downward onto the housing base belches and blocks another downward movement.
  • FR-A-26 55 317 is a dispenser for the individual dispensing of pellets known in which an output device is inserted into a housing from below is and this by a plug-shaped lower Closes part of the dispenser.
  • the lower plug-shaped part shows a square dispensing opening, above which is spaced one above the other Retaining elements are arranged.
  • the retaining elements can be from the outside manually through a side opening of the housing by means of an elastic resilient device are displaced perpendicular to the housing axis, which enables a single discharge of the pellets.
  • the output device consists of an upper part and a lower part, in which mutually offset openings arranged perpendicular to the housing axis are whose diameter corresponds at least to the diameter of the pellets.
  • the output slide can be between the two parts move the output device perpendicular to the housing axis, whereby the opening of the output slide alternately with the Openings of the two parts of the dispenser for covering can be brought.
  • the openings of the upper part of the are in the rest position Output device and the output pusher exactly one above the other, creating a pellet through these two openings can fall to the lower part of the dispenser.
  • the output slide is actuated - it is done by Finger pressure on a thin point made of flexible material in the Housing wall, which is arranged in the region of the output slide is - the output slide moves towards Opening the lower part of the dispenser.
  • One on Dispensing slide arranged nose pushes that on the lower one Pellet lying on part of the dispenser in Direction to this opening of the lower part of the Dispenser (the dispensing opening) through which the pellet then falls down from the dispenser.
  • the pellet moves with its lower one during this shift Part is located inside the opening of the output slide the pellet on its way to the lower outlet through the Locally fixed opening of the delivery slide; the pellet must the displacement path of the dispensing slide towards the dispensing opening consequences.
  • the nose of the pellet pushing towards the dispensing opening Output slide closes at Displacement of the output slide the opening in the upper part the dispensing device, so that in the dispensing position - the The opening of the delivery slide is immediately above the dispensing opening - no pellet from the above the Dispenser located (filled with pellets) Housing space in the dispenser arranged below can fall.
  • the output slide is reset by Spring action of a part of the output slide, which is resilient on the housing wall opposite the thin point supported or via a resilient, bow-shaped Connection point between the discharge slide and the remaining part of the output device over which the Output slide is connected to the output device.
  • FIG. 1 is a housing (10) of a pellet dispenser (30) in a section parallel to the housing axis (11).
  • the Housing (10) is in this embodiment cylindrical body that is closed at the top and open at the bottom is.
  • On the side of the housing wall (12) is in the lower area a thin point (13) is arranged, which consists of a flexible Material with a button-shaped reinforcement (14) in it Middle is made.
  • FIG. 2 shows the view of this housing (10) compared to Fig. 1 rotated 90 ° forward around the housing axis (11), with now forward-facing thin section (13) and its button-shaped Reinforcement (14).
  • FIG Shutter cap (15) shown below the housing (10) is plugged in and in the event of unwanted actuation of the Discharge pellets discharged (See also Fig. 4, which is a section through this Represents closure cap (15)).
  • FIG. 6 As can be seen from FIG. 6, into the housing (10) from below, after the housing (10) is filled with pellets (16), one Feeder (17) pushed.
  • Figure 3 is one such output device (17) shown separately.
  • she consists of an upper part (18) with an opening (19) and a lower part (20) with an opening (21) - the Dispensing opening - between which a moving part, the Dispensing slide (22) is arranged.
  • This output slide (22) contains an opening (23), the size or Diameter exactly like the openings (19) and (21) at least the diameter of the pellets to be discharged (16, Fig. 6) equivalent.
  • a nose arranged on the discharge slide (22) (25) fulfills two tasks. First push this Nose (25) the pellet (16 ', Fig. 6) through the top Opening (19) and the opening (23) of the discharge slide (22) down to the lower part (20), supporting the Displacement of the output slide (22) towards Dispensing opening (21). Furthermore, this nose (25) serves as "Lock” for additional pellets (16) because the nose is in Issue position the upper opening (19) for another Failure of pellets (16) blocked.
  • the dispenser (17) has in its lower part an annular projection (26) which the insertion the output device (17) in the housing (10) limited and up to which the sealing cap (15) is pushed on, the especially to protect against pollution Collecting the discharged pellets can serve.
  • FIG. 5 A top view - in the direction of the housing axis (11) - on the Dispensing slide (22) is shown in Figure 5, wherein in particular the nose (25) and the opening (23) can be seen are.
  • the housing also can deviate from the cylindrical or primatic form and the upper part of the housing is not as shown in Example closed, but for the purpose of better Refilling is open at the top and also with a cap can be locked.
