Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a tablet dispenser according to the preamble of claim 1 for single delivery of tablets.
  • a dispensing opening takes place by means of a flap or a slider which, for example, is operated by hand.
  • a separation of tablets is not provided here.
  • dispensers with a arranged in the dispenser housing mechanically actuated device are known, released by the stroke-limited displacement within the dispenser housing a dispensing opening in the dispenser housing and a tablet per stroke is discharged from the dispenser housing.
  • a tablet dispenser is described in which a single tablet is ejected from a housing by pushing an actuating button, which is connected via a centrally arranged actuating shaft with a slider, through a bottom-side opening.
  • a tablet dispenser which consists of a prismatic housing with an open face and a laterally offset opening in the bottom surface.
  • an inner part is inserted from above, consisting of a slide and an actuating button, connected by a connecting element, which together form a structural unit in the sense of an inner housing, in the upper part of the tablet reservoir is located.
  • this inner part shifts, with the lower part passing through the bottom opening of the housing is moved and releases a tablet.
  • the displacement of the inner part is stroke-limited by a web which abuts the housing bottom during the downward movement of the inner part, whereby a further downward movement is blocked.
  • a tablet dispenser in which, in a similar manner as in EP 0831 035 B1 at the bottom of the inclined slide bottom, which forms the lower end of the tablet reservoir, a leaf-shaped return spring is formed. It is formed slightly sagged in the opposite direction to the slope of the slide bottom and is supported with its free end on the transverse bottom of the housing, where it may have a bias.
  • the dispensing operation by an external pressure against the spring force of the return spring, which is tensioned, the slider is lowered and released a tablet dispensing opening.
  • the external pressure ceases, a return displacement of the slide into the initial state takes place through a now possible relaxation of the return spring. Since the length of the leaf-shaped return spring favors this, all parts of the tablet dispenser made of polystyrene and can be dispensed with the relatively expensive POM material.
  • the return spring is made of PP (polypropylene) and is fixed with one of its two ends laterally on a side wall of the tablet discharge shaft in the vicinity of the bottom surface.
  • the free end is supported against the bottom surface of the housing. Due to the lateral arrangement of the return spring of the spring travel or its deflection and thus the spring load over known spring arrangements is significantly reduced.
  • it may have at least at one end two mutually connected angularly arranged legs, so that at this end two spring elements are effective.
  • Such spring elements are arranged between a lower step surface of the inner part and the bottom surface of the housing, wherein case by case can be dispensed with entirely.
  • the tablet dispenser 1 the EP 0 831 035 B1 for individual dispensing of tablets comprises a prismatic housing 20 with a arranged in the bottom surface 22 bottom opening 21 and an open roof surface 30.
  • a displaceable under stroke limitation inner part 10 is inserted, consisting of a preferably prismatic tablet storage space 12 and a vertically oriented, In the displacement of the inner part 10 downward by finger pressure on the end face 11 of the inner part 10, wherein the finger engages through the v-shaped recesses 23 of the housing side halves and the inner part 10 presses down , the lower end of the tablet discharge chute 13 is passed through the bottom opening 21 and a tablet is discharged.
  • a return spring 14 arranged between the inner part 10 and the housing 20 serves.
  • FIG. 1 is this from the EP 0 831 035 B1 known rod or leaf-shaped return spring 14 attached at one end to the lower step surface 17 of the inner part 10 and the free end is supported on the bottom surface 22 of the housing 20 from. Since the distance between the step surface 17 and the bottom surface 22 and thus the length of the return spring 14 is large, there may be the disadvantages described when using PP as spring material.
  • FIGS. 1a and 1b the inner part 10 of the tablet dispenser 1 is shown individually for better understanding.
  • the geometry of the prismatic tablet dispenser 1 is characterized clearly recognizable, and in particular is from the Fig. 1b It can be seen that the return spring 14 is integrally connected to the step surface 17 and thus part of the inner part 10.
  • the attachment location for the return springs 14a, 14b made of PP is arranged significantly closer to the bottom surface 22.
  • a lateral recess 18 of the tablet discharge chute 13 was selected as a fixing location, so that the return spring 14a is slightly beveled downwards with its free end on the bottom surface 22 is supported.
  • the attachment location has been moved even further down, so that the return spring 14b is arranged parallel to the bottom surface 22 and the free end is supported on the bottom surface 22 by means of a web 14b '.
  • this return spring 14b is their production, since all parts are in Endformraum and therefore no baking tool is required here.
  • FIGS. 4 . 5, 6 are the rod or leaf-shaped and made of PP return springs 14c, 14d biased arranged near the bottom surface 22.
  • the return spring 14c is the return spring 14c as well as the return spring 14a attached at one end to the recess 18 of the tablet discharge chute 13. Due to the bias, however, it is bulged upward, so that the free end is supported at a blunt angle to the bottom surface 22.
  • Both ends of the return spring 14d are attached to the inner part 10 biased so that their middle part 14d 'bulges downwards and can be supported on the bottom surface 22. The attachment of the left end of the return spring 14d was in Fig.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 the return spring reinforced by their training with at least two legs.
  • the upper end of the return spring 14 e is fixed to the lower step surface 17 of the inner part 10.
  • the return spring 14e splits into two legs 14e ', which now take over the support against the bottom surface 22.
  • the return spring 14f splits rombusartig over its entire length, wherein the upper tip of the thus formed return spring 14f attached to the lower step surface 17 of the inner part 10 and the lower tip is supported against the bottom surface 22.
  • a known return spring 14g is shown, which consists of a plurality of interconnected circular sections and also preferably can be made of the inner part material PP. This spring is secured with two legs 14g 'on the lower step surface 17 of the inner part 10, while its lower end, formed by a circular portion, is punctiformly supported against the bottom surface 22. Due to its geometry, this return spring 14g is a highly elastic alternative to the previously described rod or leaf-shaped return springs.
  • FIGS. 10 to 15 known return springs 14h to 14m are shown, which in contrast to the previously described return springs 14 to 14 g not from consist of the inner part material and molded directly to the inner part 10, but they are made of a foreign material, which may need to be attached according to the inner part 10.
  • Fig. 10 is a rod or leaf-shaped return spring 14 h used from the PP better resilient POM, in a similar manner as the known return spring 14 from the lower step surface 17 of the inner part 10 to.
  • Floor area 22 is enough.
  • this return spring 14h is pushed through by the tablet reservoir 12 forth through a hole in the step surface 17 and the above the step surface 17 remaining crutch 14h 'of the return spring 14h welded there.
  • the return spring 14i of Fig. 11 is also made of the better springy POM. It is biased into the space between the lower step surface 17 of the inner part 10 and the bottom surface 22 is inserted so that it is supported with its two ends to the bottom surface 22, while their curved center part has contact with the step surface 17.
  • FIGS. 12 to 17 are the same as in Fig. 11 known return springs 14i to 14o made of different materials in the space between the lower step surface 17 of the inner part 10 and the bottom surface 22 is inserted. Due to their deviating from the bar or leaf shape geometry with larger contact surfaces could be dispensed with an additional attachment at least on the step surface 17 here.
  • the different return springs are in Fig. 12 around a steel spring as return spring 14j, in Fig. 13 a cylinder spring made of POM as the return spring 14k, in Fig. 14 to a foam element as return spring 141 and in Fig. 15 around a TPE element as return spring 14m.
  • FIGS. 12 the different return springs are in Fig. 12 around a steel spring as return spring 14j, in Fig. 13 a cylinder spring made of POM as the return spring 14k, in Fig. 14 to a foam element as return spring 141 and in Fig. 15 around a TPE element as return spring 14m.
  • the invention is not limited only to the embodiments of the return spring shown in the illustrated embodiments and to the tablet dispenser described here.
  • the shape and size and the material used in the return spring a substantial adaptation to the size, design and operation of the tablet dispenser and the required restoring force by the skilled person is possible.
