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 single tablet can be dispensed by actuation
  • 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 in such a way that its dispensing opening is in overlap or coincidence with the dispensing opening, an essentially cylindrical separating and deflecting body being arranged on the radially inner edge of the dispensing ring, the upper one in the use position Front wall is rounded in particular 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 container wall
  • Such a tablet dispenser is known from US 4,228,920.
  • the user must do this by a careful rotary movement 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 have the required coverage reach. Also, a tablet could be between the edges of both openings get caught and pinched, maybe even destroyed and under The tablet dispenser may be blocked.
  • the Rotary motion 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 a drug or as a sweetener - is said to dissolve.
  • US 2,886,209 discloses a tablet dispenser according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the resistance - for unlocking or the axial adjustment - at least in the last part of the Unlocking - or axial adjustment movement of the actuation ring is a restoring force and the positive coupling in particular in the direction of rotation to the container by releasing the restoring force can be restored automatically.
  • Another perfecting of the child lock of the invention Tablet dispenser can be achieved in that the Actuation ring over a first part of the unlocking or axial Adjustment path essentially smooth or almost without resistance movable and on the last part of its way to the Stop and until the coupling is released against the container the resistance and / or the restoring force is displaceable.
  • the Actuation ring over a first part of the unlocking or axial Adjustment path essentially smooth or almost without resistance movable and on the last part of its way to the Stop and until the coupling is released against the container the resistance and / or the restoring force is displaceable.
  • Claim 4 contains a special shape for the stop, a breakthrough in a counterpart in the axial direction interspersed and can be moved up to the stop, so that the length the bolt, pin, web or sleeve-like projection in essentially the unlocking or axial adjustment path when loosening the non-rotatable connection between the actuating ring and the dispensing ring equivalent.
  • Claim 5 contains a specification of the attack, where a Stop head is provided on the projection, which is the counterpart engages behind, against which it also rests again is retractable.
  • Claim 6 contains features related to the stop cooperating counter surface on the deflector, which is expedient is sunk centrally so that the stop in Starting or blocking position over the deflector and its Rejection slope protrudes and this can continue.
  • Claim 7 complements the measure according to claim 6, according to which mushroom-shaped stop head the depression with the counter bearing surface shield when not in use, so that no tablets in the Area of depression and block the arrangement there can.
  • Claim 8 gives a special configuration of the entire attack on how this can be designed at the same time so that it itself at least on the last part of the unlocking or axial Adjustment movement also the resistance and / or the restoring force can generate with the help of an inclined surface, so that for generation this resistance or restoring force no additional to be accommodated or spring elements to be molded, which would also be possible.
  • Expression 9 contains the measure according to one of claims 1 to 8, according to which a the output opening of the output ring at its in the use position lower side covering on the outside Closure is provided by the actuation of the dispenser from its closed position from the dispensing opening is movable away, and that at least one catch for fixing that rotational position of the output ring is provided in the the dispensing opening and the dispensing opening for releasing a tablet are in agreement with each other.
  • Openable closure can be the opening at rest and opening 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 Operation 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.
  • the container can also be actuated be rotated relative to the dispensing 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 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, whose distance in the circumferential direction is equal to or different from the distance of the donation openings in the border 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 engage at the same time. So the user can in any Rotate 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 15 gives a 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 projection tablet is being dispensed or has been. Before not one further rotational movement can be performed in the area of a straight used donation and dispensing opening to kick any tablet.
  • Claims 16 and 17 contain advantageous designs of the Bodenringes and the donation openings contained therein Interruptions in the bottom ring.
  • Claim 17 specifies that the ring pieces of this bottom ring advantageously at the same time still to form 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 18 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 to each other when assembled should.
  • Claim 22 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.
  • 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 23 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 24 contains configurations of the actuating ring and 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 25 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.
