Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tablet dispenser with a container which holds the tablets and is essentially cylindrical in cross-section, at least on the inside of its container wall, with a separating device for the tablets and with a dispensing device with which at least one individual tablet can be dispensed by actuation in its radial width, in particular approximately the size or thickness of a tablet, there is provided a receiving space with at least one lower dispensing opening in the dispensing position and a dispensing ring which can be rotated and has at least one dispensing opening, which dispensing ring can be rotated for a dispensing process such that its dispensing opening is in overlap or coincidence with the dispensing opening, a substantially cylindrical separating and deflecting body being arranged on the radially inner edge of the dispensing ring, the upper part of which is in the use position e end wall is in particular rounded or beveled in the form of a cone or the like, so that tablets reaching this bevel are passed between the deflector body and the inside of the
  • Such a tablet dispenser is known from US 4,228,920.
  • the user must do this by turning it carefully Align the donation opening and the dispensing opening, to get a single tablet. If he does too fast or too little rotation, no tablet is released because the two openings then do not overlap as required reach. Also, a tablet could be between the edges of both openings guessed and jammed, maybe even destroyed and under The tablet dispenser may be blocked. The Rotational movement for a donation process must therefore be considerable Care must be taken. Furthermore, it is often not clear whether a tablet has actually been dispensed, especially if such a tablet immediately into a filled with a liquid Drinking vessel is dropped because it is - as a drug or as a sweetener - should dissolve.
  • Openable closure can be the opening at rest and rest Storage must be completed so that the content of the Tablet dispensers against humidity and especially against access to dust is protected. Still is an easy one Actuation possible because the "correct" position in each case Rotation of the output ring is specified by a catch, which the user senses when twisting and usually also hear can, so that he also has control over the donation process Has. Of course, the container can also be actuated be rotated relative to the output ring. So the important thing is relative rotatability.
  • the output opening in the rest position on the outside covering closure on one Actuating ring is arranged, which is relative to the rotatable Output ring in axial or, if necessary, helical Movable in the direction and in the direction of rotation with the dispensing ring is coupled.
  • This will open the shutter and the Donation process combined in a simple way, because the user only needs the actuating ring initially relative to that Container approximately in the axial or from the dispensing ring shift away and then the twist perform to actuate the dispenser first open the shutter and then open the dispensing opening with the Match donation opening.
  • the tablet dispenser with the dispensing opening provided on its underside can be set up on this underside, the axial shifting back the actuating ring automatically by turning off the Tablet dispenser causes, then this actuation ring can simultaneously form the footprint.
  • the donation opening can be arranged in a bottom ring, which on in the position of use - and expediently also in the storage position - radially opposite the lower edge region of the container wall revolves inside above, and in particular several Donation openings can be provided in the course of this floor ring.
  • a coaxial and "layered" arrangement of the output ring and the bottom ring can be structurally particularly simple and in front solve everything easier than arranging the donation opening in one recess or pocket provided in the wall, as is the case with the U.S. Patent 4,228,920 is necessary.
  • the dispensing ring can have one or possibly several dispensing openings have the same circumferential spacing or different from the distance of the donation openings in the bottom ring can be. It is particularly useful to have an output opening provide the output ring so that after a partial rotation in each case reached another donation opening and dispensed a tablet becomes.
  • An output opening provide the output ring so that after a partial rotation in each case reached another donation opening and dispensed a tablet becomes.
  • multiple dispensing openings equidistant from each other Appropriate donation openings can accommodate many tablets are issued simultaneously. Soak the distances in Circumferential direction, in turn the number of each issued Tablets are influenced accordingly, either only one or possibly several tablets could be dispensed, the rotary movement to be carried out could be shortened even more.
  • the surmountable catch used to fix a dispensing position can be independent of the direction of rotation and with any relative rotation Can be snapped in and out between the dispensing ring and container and in particular a plurality of notches can be provided which snap into place at the same time.
  • the user can in any Turn directions and each reaches a click position when a donation position is taken.
  • Notches independent of the direction of rotation are known and usually have symmetrical locking openings and in the same way symmetrical locking projections, so that these a twist to overcome the detent on any side allow.
  • the arrangement of several notches increases the precision and distributes the locking forces more evenly around the circumference.
  • Claim 7 gives one simple solution, as with the generic tablet dispenser the deflector is used simultaneously and with one Projection, cam or the like retainer can be provided, to slide down above the dispensing opening Prevent tablets if one is below this protrusion tablet is being dispensed or has been. Before not one further rotation can be performed in the area of a straight used donation and dispensing opening to kick any tablet.
  • Claims 8 and 9 contain advantageous designs of the Bodenringes and the contained donation openings through interruptions in the bottom ring.
  • Claim 9 specifies that the Ring pieces of this bottom ring advantageously at the same time still to the formation of detent springs for locking the respective Donation position can be used.
  • the attachment of the Locking recesses on the deflector or on the dispensing ring means for this repellent body contributing to the separation of the tablets also an additional function.
  • Claim 10 contains a measure that is easy to manufacture and assembly of the deflector and the container results, although both Allow parts to be rotated relative when assembled should.
  • Claim 14 contains features and measures such as those for the non-rotatable Connection between the actuating ring and the deflector at the same time Possibility of axial adjustment of the actuation ring provided ribs and recesses in addition to the Lock the slewing ring between the dispensing ring and the container can be used in the rest or locked position.
  • the possibility is given to the donation openings to use the container in this locking, in which Locking position the ribs in these donation openings Container can intervene, so that for locking on the container no additional measures themselves are required.
  • Claim 15 contains refinements of the repellent body for one better guidance of the guide body, which in turn the actuating ring carries, so that through this good leadership at the same time Axial movement of the actuating ring and thus also the opening of the Closure are favored.
  • Claim 16 contains configurations of the actuating ring and the associated closure including the arrangement of the closure complementing shielding side walls, which also with Opening the shutter in the sense that it remains effective released tablet in a predetermined direction over the Guide the opened closure so that the tablet dispenser becomes even more user-friendly.
  • Claim 17 relates to the container made of one piece or can also consist of at least two parts, for example can be releasably connected by a threaded connection.
  • the latter allows with the tablet dispenser and its separating device a correspondingly large container - if necessary also refillable - to be able to connect.
  • Another embodiment of the invention and in particular the Tablet dispenser mentioned at the beginning can be the additional task solve to create such a tablet dispenser, its content is largely inaccessible to children has a childproof lock when dispensing individual tablets.
  • the one Resistant and possibly split axial Adjustment movement to release the lock between the dispensing ring and Container or actuating ring and container thus represents an effective child lock and at the same time enables Combination with a closure on the dispensing opening that passes through the axial adjustment movement is opened at the same time.
  • Claim 19 contains an advantageous and particularly useful Shaping especially child protection, because of the measure of claim 19, ie the formation of the resistance or increased resistance as a restoring force causes the User must exert a constant pulling force during the dispensing process and when this traction decreases, the clutch automatically restored between the actuating ring and the container and thereby another twist is locked or locked again. Consequently can also not be forgotten, the child lock again activate if a donation has taken place.
