Abstract

A magazine (3) for a tablet dispenser (1) for receiving and sequentially dispensing tablets (T) consists of a housing (4) which is substantially cuboid and is open on the longitudinal side (5), receives a longitudinally guided slider (6) and a helical spring (8) supported between the slider (6) and the housing floor (7) and comprises an output device (10) at the housing head (9) which is opposite of the housing floor (7), with the helical spring (8) engaging with its floor-side end (11) of the winding in a clamping gap (12) in the region of the floor of the housing. In order to ensure a secure hold of the helical spring (8) within the housing, the width (w) of the clamping gap (12) formed between the housing floor (7) and a projecting wall (13) disposed upstream of the same is dimensioned larger than twice the diameter (d) of the spring wire and smaller than the winding distance (a) or an integral multiple of the winding distance (a) of the unloaded helical spring (8), and the helical spring (8) is inserted into the clamping gap (12) with a winding end (11) aligned towards the open longitudinal side (5) of the housing.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Magazin für einen Tablettenspender zur Aufnahme und vereinzelten Abgabe von Tabletten mit einem im wesentlichen quaderförmigen, 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 occasionally dispensing tablets with a substantially cuboid, on one longitudinal side open housing, the one longitudinally guided slide and one between slide and a housing bottom supporting coil spring receives and on a housing bottom opposite housing head has an output device, the coil spring with its bottom winding end in a Clamping gap engages in the bottom portion of the housing.

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, andernends am Gehäuseboden ab, wodurch bei einer unsachgemäßen Handhabung des Magazins und vor allern 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 bottom side to the housing head in a Protective sleeve inserted and serve as a reservoir and ejector mostly for refreshing tablets and lozenges, which are a stackable basic form have. These tablets are piled in through the open longitudinal side the magazine housing between the housing head and slide used so that the stack of tablets due to the pressure load on the slider against the Housing head and the dispenser is pressed. An actuation of the Output device then pushes the top tablet from the stack across to the stacking direction out of the housing and releases it for removal. The slider-loading coil spring is loosely supported at one end on Slide, at the other end of the case bottom, causing an improper Handling of the magazine and especially in case of damage or a breakage of the protective sleeve and / or the magazine housing the spring Jump out of the housing and there is a risk of injury can. In order to avoid this, it has already been proposed (AT 387 760 B), the bottom end of the coil spring coil spring in a nip of Fix the housing, the nip between the housing bottom and a catch pin is created and in its width to the diameter of the Spring wire is adapted. The turn end is therefore flat on the case back and slips under a corresponding ground-parallel force out of the nip. The spring loses its hold and a Rapids of the spring in case of damage including the associated Danger of injury is still to be feared.

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, a magazine of to create at the outset way, characterized by its simple and but effective spring protection is characterized.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe dadurch, däß die Weite des zwischen dem Gehäuseboden und einer diesem vorgeordneten Stegwand gebildeten, sich zur offenen Gehäuselängsseite öffnenden 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. The invention solves this problem by däß the width of between formed the housing bottom and an upstream web wall, to the open housing longitudinal side opening nip greater than twice the diameter of the spring wire and smaller than the winding pitch or an integer multiple of the Dimensioned coil pitch of the unloaded coil spring and the Coil spring with an open housing longitudinal side aligned Windungsende is inserted into the nip. By the thus formed and the measured nip becomes the coil spring in the area of the turn end biased when plugged into the nip and the Windungsende is supported at an acute angle under preload load on the housing bottom from. If the magazine is damaged or if you try to remove the spring to pull out of the magazine housing, the supporting force of the reinforced Windungsendes caused by the occurring spreader effect and the Windungsende prevents pulling out of the spring barb-like. The Coil spring is held securely in the housing and the risk of injury prevented due to a releasing spring.

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 spreading or barb effect of the spring safety improves itself, when the winding end in the nip to about the height of the spring axis soars up, so that one for the barb-like support favorable support angle of the winding end opposite the housing bottom results.

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 turn end forms a sharp-edged cut surface, it digs the turn end with appropriate tensile load in the case back and it comes to a withdrawal of the spring-preventing positive engagement.

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 stapelförmig 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. A tablet dispenser 1 consists of an outer protective sleeve 2 and a plugged into the protective sleeve 2 magazine 3 for receiving and isolated Delivery of tablets T. For this purpose, the magazine 3 forms a substantially cuboidal housing 4, which on a longitudinal side 5 for insertion a stack of tablets is open and for holding the stacked inserted Tablets T a longitudinally guided slide 6 and one between slide 6 and a housing bottom 7 supporting coil spring 8 with a on the Housing cross-section adapted to absorb approximately oval winding shape. to Occasional delivery of the tablets T is the housing 4 on the housing bottom 7 opposite housing head 9 with an output device 10th provided so that by a pivot operation of the output device 10, the via the coil spring 8 to the housing head 9 pressurized tablets T individually transversely to the stacking direction from the tablet dispenser 1 for Removal can be ejected.

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.In case of damage to the tablet dispenser 1 a jumping away to safely prevent the coil spring 8 inserted in the housing 4, engages the coil spring 8 with its bottom winding end 11 in a Clamping gap 12 a, which extends through the housing bottom 7 and a upstream web wall 13 results. In this case, the width w of the nip 12 greater than twice the diameter d of the spring wire, but smaller than that Windungsabstand a of the unloaded coil spring 8 and the coil spring is with the open housing longitudinal side 5 oriented end of the winding 11 inserted into the nip 12. This will be the coil spring biased within the nip 12 and presses the biasing force the turn end 11 acute angle against the housing bottom 7, so that a spreading and barbing effect, the withdrawal of the spring end prevented from the nip 12. This barb and spreader effect will thereby further improved that the winding end 11 only up to about the height the spring longitudinal axis L protrudes and forms a sharp-edged sectional area 14.
