Definitions

  • the state of the art containers available on the market and provided with a dosing device allow the extraction of a single granule at a time by rotating the cap. The granule drops into the cap.
  • the cap is removed and the contents tipped into the open mouth.
  • the cap must be removed, so it is liable to being misplaced.
  • the aim of this invention is to remedy the aforementioned shortcomings by means of a container-dispenser which does not require the user to count the granules each time and which may be used with only one hand.
  • This invention also relates to a container-dispenser which has no detachable parts which, therefore, cannot be misplaced.
  • a container-dispenser for granules, pills, tablets and the like comprising a container for holding the granules, with at one end an adjustable-length duct capable of holding the desired number of granules, in a single row.
  • the cap (with an opening in it) may have two positions:
  • the cap may be opened and closed simply by pressing with the thumb or the index finger of the same hand holding the container-dispenser, thus moving the mobile part of the dispenser either to open or to close the duct.
  • the granules may then be administered simply by tipping the container-dispenser towards the open mouth.
  • Fig. 1 shows an exploded view of the component parts of the container-dispenser in its natural vertical position.
  • Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal section of the container-dispenser in the closed position.
  • Fig. 3 shows a cross-section of the container-dispenser in the closed position.
  • Fig. 4 shows a longitudinal section of the container-dispenser in the open position.
  • Fig. 5 shows a cross-section of the container-dispenser in the open position.
  • Fig. 6 shows a perspective of the container-dispenser in the closed position.
  • Fig. 7 shows a perspective of the container-dispenser in the open position.
  • the container-dispenser in the closed position has the form of a cylinder wedge.
  • the container-dispenser comprises a body (1) acting as the container with a removable bottom (2) for filling with the granules.
  • a structure containing a duct (3) which acts as the dispenser.
  • the duct (3) is covered by a mobile cap (5) pivoted onto a pin (6) and fastened to it by means of a known system.
  • the mobile cap (5) may rotate, according to a well-defined movement, to produce two positions: (i) a closed position, which is produced when the front part (5a) of the cap (5) covers the duct (3), thus preventing it from communicating with the outside. This position may be better viewed in fig. 3; (ii) an open position, produced when the mobile cap (5) is rotated so that the opening (5b) corresponds to the duct (3), thus allowing it to communicate with the outside.
  • the closed position shown in figs. 2, 3 and 6, the duct (3) communicates with the inside of the container through the hole (4).
  • the duct (3) is slightly larger (wider and deeper) than the granules (8) held by the container-dispenser, so that they may slide into position in a single row.
  • the useful length of the duct (3) may be adjusted by means of a mobile barrier (9) composed of a gauge block with projecting wings (9a), shown in fig. 1, which fit into slots (3b) at specific intervals along the sides of the duct (3).
  • This mobile barrier (9) may thus be placed into any one of the slots, by hand, so as to determine the duct's (3) useful length and, therefore, the number of granules (8) it may hold.
  • the inside of the container (1) is arranged so that, around the hole (4), there are several inclined surfaces (10) for conveying the granules toward the hole (4) itself.
  • the cap (5) will rotate and the opening (5b) on it will correspond to the duct (3) holding the desired number of granules (8).
  • the diaphragm (5c) of the mobile cap (5) closes the hole (4), by means of a slot (3a) in a wall of the duct (3), so as to prevent both the dosed granules from sliding back into the container (1) and any other granules (8) from coming out, other than the established amount.
