Abstract

The invention relates to a tray (3) for a tablet dispenser (1) for storing and individually dispensing tablets (T). Said tray consists of a substantially parallelepipedal housing (4) that is open on one longitudinal side (5). The housing incorporates a slider (6) guided longitudinally, a spiral spring (8) that is supported between said slider (6) and the base of the housing (7) and a dispensing device (10) on the head (9) of the housing lying opposite the base (7) of the housing. The end (11) of the spiral of said spring (8) positioned near the base engages in a locking gap (12). To ensure that the spiral spring (8) is securely retained inside the housing, the width (w) of the locking gap (12) is more than double the diameter (d) of the spring wire and less than the distance (a) between the coils or represents a whole-number multiple of the distance (a) between the coils when the spiral spring (8) is untensioned. The spiral spring (8) is also inserted into the locking gap (12) by one end of the spiral (11) that is directed towards the open longitudinal side (5) of the housing.

Description

Magazin zur Aufnahme und vereinzelten Abgabe von TablettenMagazine for taking and dispensing tablets
[0001] Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Magazin für einen Tablettenspender zur Aufnahme und vereinzelten Abgabe von Tabletten mit einem im wesentlichen quaderformigen, an einer Längsseite offenen Gehäuse, das einen längsgeführten Schieber und eine sich zwischen Schieber und einem Gehäuseboden abstützende Schraubenfeder aufnimmt und an einem dem Gehäuseboden gegenüberliegenden Gehäusekopf eine Ausgabeeinrichtung aufweist, wobei die Schraubenfeder mit ihrem bodenseitigen Wicklungsende in einen Klemmspalt im Bodenbereich des Gehäuses eingreift.The invention relates to a magazine for a tablet dispenser for receiving and dispensing tablets with a substantially cuboid, open on one long side of the housing, which receives a longitudinal slide and a supporting between the slide and a housing bottom coil spring and one the housing head opposite the housing head has an output device, the coil spring engaging with its bottom winding end in a clamping gap in the bottom region of the housing.
[0002] Solche Magazine werden bodenseitig bis zum Gehäusekopf in eine Schutzhülse eingesteckt und dienen als Vorratsbehälter und als Auswerfer meist für Erfrischungstabletten und Pastillen, die eine stapelbare Grundform besitzen. Diese Tabletten werden stapelweise durch die offene Längsseite in das Magazingehäuse zwischen Gehäusekopf und Schieber eingesetzt, so daß der Tablettenstapel aufgrund der Druckbelastung über den Schieber gegen den Gehäusekopf und zur Ausgabeeinrichtung gedrückt wird. Eine Betätigung der Ausgabeeinrichtung schiebt dann die jeweils oberste Tablette vom Stapel quer zur Stapelrichtung aus dem Gehäuse heraus und gibt sie zur Entnahme frei. Die den Schieber belastende Schraubenfeder stützt sich lose einerends am Schieber, andemends am Gehäuseboden ab, wodurch bei einer unsachgemäßen Handhabung des Magazins und vor allem bei einer Beschädigung oder einem Bruch der Schutzhülse und/oder des Magazingehäuses die Feder aus dem Gehäuse herausspringen und es zu einer Verletzungsgefahr kommen kann. Um dies zu vermeiden, wurde bereits vorgeschlagen (AT 387 760 B), das bodenseitige Windungsende der Schraubenfeder in einem Klemmspalt des Gehäuses zu fixieren, wobei der Klemmspalt zwischen dem Gehäuseboden und einem Fangstift entsteht und in seiner Weite an den Durchmesser des Federdrahtes angepaßt ist. Das Windungsende liegt demnach flach am Gehäuseboden an und rutscht unter einer entsprechenden bodenparallelen Krafteinwirkung aus dem Klemmspalt heraus. Die Feder verliert ihren Halt und ein Wegschnellen der Feder im Beschädigungsfall samt der damit verbundenen Verletzungsgefahr ist nach wie vor zu befürchten.Such magazines are inserted into a protective sleeve at the bottom up to the housing head and serve as storage containers and as ejectors, mostly for refreshment tablets and pastilles, which have a stackable basic shape. These tablets are inserted in stacks through the open long side into the magazine housing between the housing head and slide, so that the stack of tablets is pressed against the housing head and to the dispenser due to the pressure load on the slide. An actuation of the dispenser then pushes the topmost tablet from the stack transversely to the stacking direction out of the housing and releases it for removal. The coil spring loading the slide is supported loosely on one side on the slide, on the other side on the housing base, which means that the magazine is handled improperly and, above all, if it is damaged or damaged If the protective sleeve and / or the magazine housing breaks, the spring may jump out of the housing and there may be a risk of injury. In order to avoid this, it has already been proposed (AT 387 760 B) to fix the bottom end of the coil spring in a clamping gap of the housing, the clamping gap being formed between the housing base and a catch pin and the width of which is adapted to the diameter of the spring wire. Accordingly, the end of the turn lies flat on the housing base and slides out of the clamping gap under a corresponding force parallel to the base. The spring loses its hold and it is still to be feared that the spring will snap away in the event of damage and the associated risk of injury.
[0003] Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Magazin der eingangs geschilderten Art zu schaffen, das sich durch seine einfache und doch wirkungsvolle Federsicherung auszeichnet.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a magazine of the type described, which is characterized by its simple yet effective spring lock.
[0004] Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe dadurch, daß die Weite des zwischen dem Gehäuseboden und einer diesem vorgeordneten Stegwand gebildeten Klemmspaltes größer als der doppelte Durchmesser des Federdrahtes und kleiner als der Windungsabstand oder ein ganzzahliges Vielfache des Windungsabstandes der unbelasteten Schraubenfeder bemessen und die Schraubenfeder mit einem zur offenen Gehäuselängsseite hin ausgerichteten Windungsende in den Klemmspalt eingesteckt ist. Durch den so ausgebildeten und bemessenen Klemmspalt wird die Schraubenfeder im Bereich des Windungsendes beim Einstecken in den Klemmspalt vorgespannt und das Windungsende stützt sich spitzwinkelig unter Vorspannungsbelastung am Gehäuseboden ab. Bei Beschädigung des Magazins oder beim Versuch, die Feder aus dem Magazingehäuse herauszuziehen, verstärkt sich die Abstützkraft des Windungsendes bedingt durch den auftretenden Spreizeffekt und das Windungsende verhindert das Herausziehen der Feder widerhakenartig. Die Schraubenfeder wird sicher im Gehäuse gehalten und die Verletzungsgefahr aufgrund einer sich lösenden Feder unterbunden. [0005] Die Spreiz- bzw. Widerhakenwirkung der Federsicherung verbessert sich, wenn das Windungsende im Klemmspalt bis etwa zur Höhe der Federlängsachse hochragt, so daß sich ein für die widerhakenartige Abstützung günstiger Abstützwinkel des Windungsendes gegenüber dem Gehäuseboden ergibt.The invention solves this problem in that the width of the clamping gap formed between the housing base and a upstream wall of this upstream greater than twice the diameter of the spring wire and smaller than the winding spacing or an integer multiple of the winding spacing of the unloaded coil spring and dimension the coil spring with a winding end oriented towards the open longitudinal side of the housing is inserted into the clamping gap. Because of the clamping gap designed and dimensioned in this way, the coil spring is pretensioned in the area of the winding end when it is inserted into the clamping gap, and the winding end is supported at an acute angle under a preload on the housing base. If the magazine is damaged or an attempt is made to pull the spring out of the magazine housing, the support force of the winding end increases due to the spreading effect that occurs, and the winding end prevents the spring from being pulled out like a barb. The coil spring is held securely in the housing and the risk of injury is prevented due to the spring coming loose. The spreading or barb effect of the spring lock improves when the end of the turn protrudes in the clamping gap up to about the height of the longitudinal axis of the spring, so that there is a favorable support angle for the barb end of the turn end relative to the housing bottom.
[0006] Bildet das Windungsende eine scharfkantige Schnittfläche, gräbt sich das Windungsende bei entsprechender Zugbelastung in den Gehäuseboden ein und es kommt zu einem das Herausziehen der Feder verhindernden Formschluß.If the end of the turn forms a sharp-edged cut surface, the end of the turn digs into the housing base with a corresponding tensile load and there is a positive engagement preventing the spring from being pulled out.
[0007] In der Zeichnung ist der Erfindungsgegenstand beispielsweise veranschaulicht, und zwar zeigenIn the drawing, the subject matter of the invention is illustrated, for example, show
Fig. 1 ein erfindungsgemäßes Magazin im Längsschnitt und die Fig. 2 und 3 den Bodenbereich des Magazingehäuses im Längsschnitt bzw. in Draufsicht größeren Maßstabes.Fig. 1 shows a magazine according to the invention in longitudinal section and Figs. 2 and 3, the bottom region of the magazine housing in longitudinal section or in plan view on a larger scale.
[0008] Ein Tablettenspender 1 besteht aus einer äußeren Schutzhülse 2 und einem in die Schutzhülse 2 eingesteckten Magazin 3 zur Aufnahme und vereinzelten Abgabe von Tabletten T. Dazu bildet das Magazin 3 ein im wesentlichen quaderförmiges Gehäuse 4, das an einer Längsseite 5 zum Einlegen eines Tablettenstapels offen ist und zur Halterung der stapeiförmig eingelegten Tabletten T einen längsgeführten Schieber 6 und eine sich zwischen Schieber 6 und einem Gehäuseboden 7 abstützende Schraubenfeder 8 mit einer an dem Gehäusequerschnitt angepaßten, etwa ovalen Windungsform aufnimmt. Zur vereinzelten Abgabe der Tabletten T ist das Gehäuse 4 am dem Gehäuseboden 7 gegenüberliegenden Gehäusekopf 9 mit einer Ausgabeeinrichtung 10 versehen, so daß durch ein Schwenkbetätigen der Ausgabeeinrichtung 10 die über die Schraubenfeder 8 zum Gehäusekopf 9 hin druckbeaufschlagten Tabletten T einzeln quer zur Stapelrichtung aus dem Tablettenspender 1 zur Entnahme ausgeschoben werden können. [0009] Um bei einer Beschädigung des Tablettenspenders 1 ein Wegspringen der im Gehäuse 4 eingesetzten Schraubenfeder 8 sicher zu verhindern, greift die Schraubenfeder 8 mit ihrem bodenseitigen Wicklungsende 11 in einen Klemmspalt 12 ein, der sich durch den Gehäuseboden 7 und einer diesen vorgeordneten Stegwand 13 ergibt. Dabei ist die Weite w des Klemmspaltes 12 größer als der doppelte Durchmesser d des Federdrahtes, aber kleiner als der Windungsabstand a der unbelasteten Schraubenfeder 8 und die Schraubenfeder ist mit dem zur offenen Gehäuselängsseite 5 hin ausgerichteten Windungsende 11 in den Klemmspalt 12 eingesteckt. Damit wird die Schraubenfeder innerhalb des Klemmspaltes 12 vorgespannt und die Vorspannkraft drückt das Windungsende 11 spitzwinkelig gegen den Gehäuseboden 7, so daß sich ein Spreiz- und Widerhakeneffekt ergibt, der ein Herausziehen des Federendes aus dem Klemmspalt 12 verhindert. Dieser Widerhaken- und Spreizeffekt wird dadurch noch verbessert, daß das Windungsende 11 nur bis etwa in die Höhe der Federlängsachse L hochragt und eine scharfkantige Schnittfläche 14 bildet. A tablet dispenser 1 consists of an outer protective sleeve 2 and a magazine 3 inserted into the protective sleeve 2 for receiving and dispensing tablets T. For this purpose, the magazine 3 forms a substantially cuboid housing 4, which on a long side 5 for inserting a Tablet stack is open and for holding the tablets T inserted in the form of a stack accommodates a longitudinal slide 6 and a helical spring 8 which is supported between slide 6 and a housing base 7 and has an approximately oval winding shape which is adapted to the housing cross section. For the individual delivery of the tablets T, the housing 4 is provided on the housing head 7 opposite the housing head 9 with an output device 10, so that by pivoting the output device 10, the tablets T pressurized via the helical spring 8 towards the housing head 9 individually across the stacking direction from the tablet dispenser 1 can be pushed out for removal. In order to reliably prevent the coil spring 8 inserted in the housing 4 from jumping away if the tablet dispenser 1 is damaged, the coil spring 8 engages with its bottom-side winding end 11 in a clamping gap 12 which extends through the housing base 7 and a web wall 13 arranged upstream thereof results. The width w of the clamping gap 12 is greater than twice the diameter d of the spring wire, but smaller than the winding spacing a of the unloaded coil spring 8 and the coil spring is inserted into the clamping gap 12 with the winding end 11 oriented towards the open longitudinal side 5 of the housing. So that the coil spring is biased within the clamping gap 12 and the biasing force presses the winding end 11 at an acute angle against the housing base 7, so that there is an expansion and barb effect that prevents the spring end from being pulled out of the clamping gap 12. This barb and spreading effect is further improved in that the winding end 11 only projects up to approximately the height of the longitudinal spring axis L and forms a sharp-edged cutting surface 14.
