In dem deutschen Gebrauchsmuster DE 297 20 351 U1 wird ein Pellets-Spender zur einzel-positionierten Ausgabe von kugelförmigen Produkten, sogenannten Pellets, beschrieben, mit einem vorzugsweise prismatischen oder zylinderförmigen Gehäuse zur Aufnahme der auszugebenden Pellets, in das eine Ausgabevorrichtung eingeschoben ist, deren Ausgabeschieber hubbegrenzt in seiner Stellung veränderbar ist, wobei in das nur unten offene Gehäuse die Ausgabevorrichtung von unten so eingeschoben ist, dass der untere Teil der Ausgabevorrichtung das Gehäuse dabei dicht verschließt und der Ausgabeschieber der Ausgabevorrichtung senkrecht zur Gehäuseachse innerhalb der Ausgabevorrichtung verschiebbar angeordnet ist. Dieser Pellets-Spender ist zwar einfach zu befüllen, jedoch die Vielzahl der zu seinem Aufbau erforderlichen Teile ist nachteilig.German Utility Model DE 297 20 351 U1 discloses a pellet dispenser for single-positioned dispensing of spherical products, so-called Pellets, described with a preferably prismatic or cylindrical Housing for receiving the dispensed pellets, in the one Output device is inserted, the output slider stroke limited in its position is changeable, in which only open at the bottom housing the Output device is inserted from below so that the lower part of the Output device closes the case tight and the output slide the output device perpendicular to the housing axis within the Output device is arranged displaceably. This pellet dispenser is Although easy to fill, but the variety of required for its construction Parts is disadvantageous.
Ein ähnlich ausgebildeter Tablettenspender ist aus dem deutschen Gebrauchsmuster DE 297 20 350 U1 bekannt. Auch hier ist in einem nur unten offenen Gehäuse von unten eine Ausgabevorrichtung eingeschoben, wobei dessen unteres Teil das Gehäuse dicht verschließt. Im Gegensatz zu dem aus der DE 297 20 350 U1 bekannten Tablettenspender besteht diese Ausgabevorrichtung hier aus zwei einstückig gefertigten Konstruktionsteilen, die über zwei Verbindungselemente miteinander verbunden sind. Diese beiden Konstruktionsteile sind zusammengeklappt in das Gehäuse eingeschoben, wobei die beiden Verbindungselemente bügelförmig die Verbindung aufrechterhalten und durch ihre Vorspannung die Stellung eines Ausgabeschiebers in der Schließstellung halten. Zur Tablettenausgabe wird durch Druck auf den Ausgabeschieber in einer seitlichen Öffnung des Gehäuses dieser hubbegrenzt seitlich verschoben, wodurch der bewegliche Ausgabeschacht mit seiner unteren Öffnung über die Ausgabeöffnung in der Bodenplatte der Ausgabevorrichtung gebracht wird. Das Gehäuse des Tablettenspenders ist vorzugsweise prismatisch ausgebildet und zum Einschieben der zusammengeklappten Ausgabevorrichtung unten offen. Es besitzt innen in seiner oberen Hälfte Zwischenwände, die das Gehäuse oben in zwei seitliche kleinere Kammern und eine größere mittlere Kammer aufteilt. Die mittlere Kammer stellt den Vorratsraum für die Tabletten dar. In den beiden seitlichen Kammern werden die beiden Verbindungselemente eingeschoben, die auf diese Weise von den Tabletten isoliert werden und somit keinen Tablettenabrieb verursachen können. Die DE 297 20 350 U1 beinhaltet alle Merkmale nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.A similarly trained tablet dispenser is from the German utility model DE 297 20 350 U1. Again, it is in an open only below Housing inserted from below an output device, wherein the lower Part tightly closes the housing. In contrast to the DE 297 20 350 U1 known tablet dispenser, this dispenser is here made of two one-piece construction parts, the two Connecting elements are interconnected. These two construction parts are collapsed inserted into the housing, with the two Connectors bow-shaped maintain the connection and through their bias the position of a dispensing spool in the closed position hold. To dispense the tablet, press the dispensing spool in a lateral opening of the housing of this stroke limited laterally displaced, whereby the movable output shaft with its lower opening on the Output port is placed in the bottom plate of the dispenser. The Housing of the tablet dispenser is preferably prismatic and for inserting the folded output device open at the bottom. It has inside walls in its upper half partitions which cover the case above divided into two smaller lateral chambers and a larger central chamber. The middle chamber represents the storage space for the tablets. Into the both side chambers, the two fasteners are inserted, which are isolated in this way from the tablets and thus none Can cause tablet abrasion. DE 297 20 350 U1 includes all features according to the preamble of claim 1.
Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Tablettenspender anzugeben, der möglichst noch einfacher zu fertigen und zu montieren ist.Based on this prior art, it is an object of the invention to provide a Specify tablet dispenser, the even easier to manufacture and to assemble is.
Die gestellte Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale nach Anspruch 1 gelöst. The object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.
Das später im Detail zu beschreibende Funktionsprinzip beruht darauf, dass die Dosiermechanik beim Dosieren als Ganzes bewegt wird und dadurch getrennt bewegbare Dosierelemente überflüssig macht. Die Ausbildung und Anordnung der Bauelemente ist so gewählt, dass die Dosiermechanik hinterschnittfrei und mit nur zwei Ziehkernen gespritzt werden kann.The functional principle to be described later in detail is based on the fact that the Dosing mechanism is moved when dosing as a whole and thereby separated makes mobile dosing unnecessary. The education and arrangement The components are chosen so that the metering mechanism undercut and can be sprayed with only two drawing cores.
Bei den Bauelementen der Dosiermechanik handelt es sich um einen Einfülltrichter, der in einen Dosierschacht mündet und eine mit diesem durch eine Kunststofffeder flexibel verbundene Bodenplatte aufweist. Alle Bauelemente sind zusammen einstückig hergestellt.The components of the metering mechanism is a hopper, which opens into a dosing shaft and one with this by a Plastic spring having flexibly connected bottom plate. All components are made together in one piece.
Wichtig ist, dass der Einfülltrichter im Behälter Bewegungsspiel und die Bodenplatte Festsitz oder Rastsitz aufweisen. Dadurch ist ein Kippen von Einfülltrichter und Dosierschacht im Behälter sowie ein Verschließen des Behälters durch die Bodenplatte ermöglicht.It is important that the hopper in the container movement play and the bottom plate Have tight fit or snap fit. This is a tilt of hopper and metering shaft in the container and a closure of the container by the bottom plate allows.
Der Einfülltrichter und der Dosierschacht sind im Behälter um eine Anlegekante des Trichterrandes an einer entsprechenden Anflachung am Innenumfang des Behälters kippbar angeordnet. Die Abstützung der Anlegekante des unter dem Druck der Kunststofffeder stehenden Einfülltrichters an der entsprechenden Anflachung am Innenumfang des Behälters bewirkt eine drehfreie Kippbewegung des Dosierschachtes, die für dessen Dosierfunktion erforderlich ist.The hopper and the Dosing shaft are in the container to a contact edge of the hopper edge on a corresponding flattening arranged tiltably on the inner circumference of the container. The support of the contact edge of the under the pressure of the plastic spring standing funnel at the corresponding flattening on the inner circumference the container causes a rotational tilting movement of the dosing shaft, which is required for its dosing function.
Es hat Vorteile, dass auf einer Außenseite des Dosierschachtes ein Steg angeordnet ist, der von der flexiblen Drucktaste druckbeaufschlagbar ist und zur Kippbewegung des Dosierschachtes führt. Die flexible Taste, die beim Spritzen des Behälters in dessen Wand eingeformt wird, erlaubt eine flüssigkeitsdichte Betätigung der Dosiermechanik. It has advantages that a web arranged on an outer side of the metering shaft which is pressurizable by the flexible push button and the Tilting movement of the dosing shaft leads. The flexible button when spraying the container is molded in the wall, allows a liquid-tight Actuation of the dosing mechanism.
Wenn sich eine untere Öffnung des gekippten Dosierschachtes mit einer in der Bodenplatte befindlichen Ausgabeöffnung deckt, wird eine Tablette durch die Ausgabeöffnung freigegeben.If a lower opening of the tilted Dosierschachtes with in the Bottom plate located discharge opening covers, a tablet through the Dispensing opening released.
Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung besteht darin, dass der Dosierschacht einen Durchbruch aufweist, in dem beim Kippen des Dosierschachtes ein an der Bodenplatte befestigter Absperrhaken eingreift und so Tabletten zurückhält, die über diesem im Dosierschacht liegen. Auf diese Weise wird erreicht, dass nur eine Tablette zugleich aus der Ausgabeöffnung fällt.An advantageous development of the invention is that the metering shaft has a breakthrough in which when tilting the Dosierschachtes engages a locking plate attached to the bottom plate and thus retains tablets, which are above this in the dosing shaft. In this way it is achieved that only one tablet at a time falls out of the dispensing opening.
Von Vorteil ist auch, dass die Kunststofffeder im Behälter eine Vorspannung aufweist, die den Dosierschacht nach Entlastung der flexiblen Drucktaste in seine Ausgangslage zurückführt. Dadurch wird eine sofortige Bereitschaft für eine weitere Tablettenspendung erreicht.Another advantage is that the plastic spring in the container a bias having the dosing shaft after discharge of the flexible push button in returns his starting position. This will give an immediate readiness for reached another tablet donation.
Dadurch, dass der Behälter eine zylindrische oder zum offenen Ende hin sich konisch erweiternde Form mit unterschiedlichen Querschnittgeometrien aufweisen kann, wird eine große Variantenvielfalt der Ausführung des Tablettenspenders erreicht. Lediglich der Bereich der flexiblen Taste ist relativ flach ausgebildet.Characterized in that the container is a cylindrical or open towards the end conically expanding shape with different Have cross-sectional geometries can, is a large variety of variants of the execution of the tablet dispenser reached. Only the area of the flexible button is relatively flat.
Eine mögliche Ausgestaltung des Tablettenspenders besteht darin, dass der Behälter oberhalb des Bereichs der flexiblen Drucktaste eine durch Aufblasen realisierbare, beliebige Form aufweisen kann. Auf diese Weise können Unterschiede in Alter, Geschlecht und Geschmack der Kunden bei der äußeren Gestaltung des Tablettenspenders berücksichtigt werden. A possible embodiment of the tablet dispenser is that the Container above the area of the flexible pushbutton one by inflation can be realized, any shape. That way, there can be differences in age, sex and tastes of customers in the external design of the tablet dispenser.

Der erfindungsgemäße Tablettenspender 1 funktioniert folgendermaßen: Zunächst
wird der Behälter 2 mit nach oben gerichteter Öffnung auf einer herkömmlichen
Abfüllanlage mit Tabletten gefüllt. Dann wird die Dosiermechanik 3
von oben in den gefüllten Behälter 2 eingeschoben. Die Einstückigkeit und die
Montagerichtung der Dosiermechanik 3 sowie das Bewegungsspiel des Einfülltrichters
8 erleichtern die Montage derselben. Auch eine Montagerippe 21 erleichtert
das Montieren der Dosiermechanik 3, z. B. durch den axialen Druck
eines Stempels. Durch die im Behälter 2 festsitzende Bodenplatte 11 und die
dichte Drucktaste 5 ist der Behälter 2 bis auf die Ausgabeöffnung 13 wasserdicht
verschlossen. Ein in die Bodenplatte 11 von außen eingedrückter Deckel
(nicht dargestellt) könnte den Tablettendeckel völlig wasserdicht machen. In
eingebautem Zustand der Dosiermechanik 3 steht der Dosierschacht 10 bei
vorgespannter, gebogener Kunststofffeder 12 senkrecht auf der Bodenplatte 11
und sein Steg 16 liegt an der Drucktaste 5 an. Die untere Öffnung 19 des Dosierschachtes
10 deckt sich nicht mit der Ausgabeöffnung 13 in der Bodenplatte
11. Der Absperrhaken 14 befindet sich in Kipprichtung gesehen vor dem
Durchbruch 18 des Dosierschachtes 10. Dadurch können Tabletten 20 den Dosierschacht
10 bis auf die Bodenplatte 11 füllen, ohne herauszufallen. Durch
Druck auf die Drucktaste 5 werden Einfülltrichter 8 und Dosierschacht 10 über
den Steg 16 um die Anlagekante 9 an der Anflachung 4 des Behälters 2 gegen
die Kraft der Kunststofffeder 12 gekippt. Dadurch kommen die untere Öffnung
19 des Dosierschachtes 10 mit der Ausgabeöffnung 13 zur Deckung und der
Absperrhaken 14 greift zeitgleich in den Durchbruch 18 zwischen die beiden
letzten Tabletten 20', 20" ein. Dadurch fällt die letzte Tablette 20' durch die
Ausgabeöffnung 13 heraus, während die vorletzte Tablette 20" durch den Absperrhaken
14 zurückgehalten wird.The tablet dispenser 1 according to the invention functions as follows: First
is the
Nach Entlastung der Drucktaste 5 federt der Dosierschacht 10 mit der Federkraft
der Kunststofffeder 12 in seine senkrechte Lage zurück. Dadurch wird der
Dosierschacht 10 von dem Absperrhaken 14 freigegeben und zugleich wird die
Ausgabeöffnung 13 abgedeckt. Als Folge davon wird der Dosierschacht 10
wieder bis zur Bodenplatte 11 mit Tabletten 20 gefüllt. Die letzte Tablette 20
befindet sich dann in Dosierwarteposition 20' für die nächste Tablettenspende.After discharge of the
