Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dispenser for substantially flat tablets.
  • the invention further relates to a method for removing a tablet from a dispenser for tablets.
  • the device is adapted to receive a stack of tablets and to separate the tablets, i. individually or in a predetermined number.
  • the tablets may be e.g. to tablet-shaped medicament preparations, other health-promoting preparations, e.g. Vitamin tablets or dietary supplements to treat tablet-shaped sweets or chewing gums, detergent tablets such as e.g. Waschmaschinentabs or Spülmaschinentabsabs act.
  • the invention is not limited to a particular type of tablets. But it is particularly suitable for tablets that need to be protected against moisture and / or mechanical damage.
  • Tablets which are to be reliably protected against mechanical damage are, above all, tablets which are present as tablets and must be consumed by patients for the purpose of healing.
  • Vitamin supplements which are given in the form of tablets, or medicines containing iron or iron compounds, must be regularly protected from moisture.
  • dispensers are also referred to briefly as tablet dispensers or tablet dispensers.
  • WO 03/086901 or WO 2005/112672 are dispenser inserts or essays known for standard tablet tubes. While such an insert or attachment allows for easy separation of the tablets, the tube must be turned upside down to force the tablets into the dispenser insert by gravity. This is unsatisfactory.
  • Damage to the tablets may be the result, and in particular if, after removal of a tablet, finally, the underlying tablets are pressed with relatively great force and speed in the direction of the upper, open end. Also, a large spring pressure can cause an uppermost tablet is difficult to remove.
  • a dispenser in which a stack of tablets rests on a lift element housed in a tubular housing.
  • the lift element is displaceable relative to the housing via a ratchet connection in the direction of a removal opening.
  • the quick connection prevents a pushing back of the lift element against the feed direction.
  • An actuating button for the lift element is guided outward through a longitudinal slot in the housing and allows a user to advance the lift element and thus the stack of tablets in the housing.
  • a disadvantage of this construction is that the housing necessarily has a slot, as a result of which the housing is not air-tight and moisture-proof can be closed. Since the tablets are accessible, they can easily become dirty.
  • the dispenser described is unsuitable for moisture-sensitive tablets such as effervescent tablets.
  • the dispenser includes a housing that receives the stack of tablets. It has a removal opening which allows the removal of a single tablet or a predetermined number of tablets, for example two or three tablets. This removal opening is not necessarily limited solely by the housing, but may also be limited by other elements of the dispenser.
  • the housing may further comprise a lid, in particular a hinged lid.
  • the dispensing device comprises a conveying element which serves to convey the stack of tablets along a conveying direction to the dispensing opening. This conveying element can be moved back and forth relative to the housing between a delivery position (normal position / extended position) and a delivery position (activated / inserted position).
  • the dispenser includes holding means formed as follows. During a movement of the conveying element from the delivery position into the conveying position, the holding means hold the stack of tablets relative to the housing in such a way that the conveying element shifts against the stack of tablets in the opposite direction to the conveying direction. In a return movement of the conveying element from the conveying position into the dispensing position, however, the holding means hold the stack of tablets such that the stack of tablets is carried along by the conveying element in the conveying direction.
  • the conveying element and the holding means in interaction with the housing thus cause the stack of tablets to be conveyed by a predetermined amount in the conveying direction during each forward and backward movement of the conveying element. In particular, this predetermined amount may be the thickness of a single tablet or a predetermined number of tablets.
  • Such a dispenser allows a very simple operation. After a tablet has been removed from the dispensing opening, the conveyor element need only be moved relative to the housing to the conveying position and back to the dispensing position to provide a new tablet or a predetermined number of new tablets in the dispensing opening.
  • the movement of the conveying element in the conveying position is usually done manually by the user.
  • the return movement is preferably carried out by an elastic element described in more detail below, but may optionally be done manually. This function is independent of the orientation of the dispenser.
  • the conveying element can readily be arranged completely within the housing, so that it is easily possible to form the dispenser moisture-tight sealable.
  • the entire device can be inexpensively manufactured by injection molding of plastic.
  • the stack of tablets is prevented from moving relative to the housing and / or the conveying element in discrete steps counter to the conveying direction. Within each stage, the stack of tablets is reciprocable relative to the element in question. But as soon as each next level is reached, a return movement of the tablet stack relative to the housing or with respect to the conveying element beyond this stage is no longer possible.
  • the step spacing may correspond to the thickness of a single tablet or a predetermined number of tablets of predetermined thickness. However, it may also correspond to only a fraction of the typical thickness of a tablet, e.g. 0.5 to 2 millimeters, so that the device can be filled with tablets of different thickness. In particular, it is then possible with the device to administer tablets having a thickness which corresponds to an integer multiple of the step spacing.
  • the connected or connectable parts In order to be able to form the moisture-tight sealable closure of the dispensing device in the sense of the present invention or to close it in a moisture-proof manner, it is sufficient for the connected or connectable parts to have no play in the connected state. If, for example, an outer tube of the dispensing device, which is part of the housing, is closed at one (upper) end with a lid, then no play or gap remains between the tube and the lid.
  • the lid is positively connected to the one "upper” end of the outer tube, so as to close this upper end particularly reliable.
  • the other "lower” end of the outer tube is sealed with a moisture-proof floor. There is then no passage, gap and the like, could pass through the moisture in the interior of the dispenser.
  • the bottom of the housing may be a separate part which closes without clearance the other (lower) end of the outer tube.
  • the holding means comprise a lifting element on which the stack of tablets rests with its proximal end (that is to say with the "lower" end opposite the opening).
  • the lift element then cooperates with the housing such that it is movable relative to the housing along the conveying direction, for example in discrete steps as described above, while it is prevented from moving counter to the conveying direction at least in stages. Furthermore, the lift element cooperates with the conveying element in such a way that it permits a movement of the conveying element relative to the housing counter to the conveying direction, while it is entrained thereby in the conveying direction when the conveying element moves. In other words, the lift element is also movable relative to the conveying element only in the conveying direction, for example also gradually, while it is prevented at least in stages against movement relative to the conveying element against the conveying direction. In this way it can be achieved that the stack of tablets is conveyed in the forward and backward movement of the conveying element in each case by the predetermined amount in the conveying direction.
  • This function can be achieved by connecting the lift element to the housing cooperates via a ratchet connection, which allows movement of the lift element relative to the housing in the conveying direction and prevents stepwise against the conveying direction.
  • a ratchet connection which allows movement of the lift element relative to the housing in the conveying direction and prevents stepwise against the conveying direction.
  • blocking elements for example in the form of beveled in the conveying direction blocking shed, (retaining teeth) or locking cam be formed, which cooperate with at least a first latching area of the lift element such that they move the lift element allow relative to the housing in the conveying direction and prevent stepwise against the conveying direction.
  • the lift element In order to elastically press the latching area of the lift element against the blocking elements, the lift element can be elastically deformable transversely to the conveying direction against a deformation force, and the latching area of the lift element is then pressed against the blocking elements by the deformation force.
  • the lift element can have one or more slots, which run essentially along the conveying direction.
  • the first latching area it is also possible to design the first latching area as an elastic spring tongue, so that the lift element does not have to be deformable as a whole.
  • the distance between the blocking elements determines the size of the steps by which a movement of the lifting element relative to the housing is prevented stepwise against the conveying direction. As described above, this distance may correspond to the thickness of a single tablet or a plurality of tablets, or it may correspond to only a fraction of the thickness of a typical tablet. In this case, the interaction of the latching portion of the lift element with the locking elements may be configured similarly as in a cable tie.
  • the first latching region of the lift element can be guided through one or more slots extending essentially along the conveying direction in the conveying element.
  • the first latching portion of the lift member then extends through the slot or slots to cooperate with the blockage sheds of the housing. In this way, the conveying element with respect to the housing and the lift element can be fix in a direction transverse to the direction of conveyance.
  • the conveyor element in this case has two slots which are arranged diametrically opposite one another.
  • the lifting element is preferably guided in the conveying element along the conveying direction and has two or more pairs of diametrically opposed latching areas in the form of locking cams, which extend radially through the two slots.
  • the lift element in this case is preferably plug-like, i. it has a top wall for supporting the tablet stack and a preferably cylindrical or frusto-conical sidewall region, from which locking cams protrude radially.
  • the lift element tapers somewhat in the direction of the opening so as to ensure a trouble-free movement relative to the conveyor element in the intended direction in a particularly reliable manner.
  • the lift element cooperates with the conveying element via a second ratchet connection, which permits movement of the conveying element relative to the lifting element against the conveying direction and causes the lifting element to be entrained by the conveying element in the conveying direction during movement of the conveying element relative to the housing.
  • the second ratchet connection causes the lift member to be movable with respect to the conveyance member in the conveyance direction while being gradually prevented from moving in the opposite direction.
  • the conveying element for example, in turn, a plurality of locking elements, for example in the form of blocking sheds or locking cams, which cooperate with at least one second locking portion of the lift element such that they allow movement of the conveying element relative to the lifting element against the conveying direction and hinder in the conveying direction.
  • the lift element is elastically deformable transversely to the conveying direction against a deformation force, so as to press the second latching area by the deformation force elastically against the locking elements of the conveying element.
  • slots may again be provided in the lift element, or the already mentioned slots, which allow the deformation for the first catch area, also serve to prevent the deformation for the allow second rest area.
  • a plurality of second latching regions arranged one behind the other in the conveying direction can also be provided here.
  • the second latching region can be formed by a proximal edge of the lift element (pointing away from the removal opening), and the blocking elements can be formed on the inside of the conveying element.
  • the lift element can be guided relative to the housing in a control curve, which allows due to their shape that the lift element is taken in the conveying direction by the conveyor element, while the control cam prevents movement of the lift element relative to the housing against the conveying direction stepwise.
  • the control cam may have a jagged shape, with first sections which extend at a shallow angle to the conveying direction, and with second sections, which run essentially transversely to the conveying direction.
  • the lift element is provided with a control pin which is guided in the control cam. When the control pin is in the first sections, the lift element can be displaced in the conveying direction and reaches with the pin in the region of the second sections. As soon as the control pin is in the second section, it can no longer be moved counter to the conveying direction due to the direction of the second section.
  • the fabrication of the embodiment which includes a cam is relatively expensive compared to other embodiments of the present invention.
  • the conveying element is made of a moisture-absorbing (hygroscopic) plastic material, as is known from the prior art, or an inner wall of the housing may be provided with such a material.
  • the lift element may have a receiving area for a drying agent.
  • the lid may also include a desiccant.
  • this is preferably at least partially also made of a moisture-absorbent plastic material. This applies in any case for the wall portions of the lid, which are located within the dispenser.
  • the holding means may comprise a plurality of first spring tongues (elastic "folding shed"), which are arranged on an inner surface of the housing and are suitable, in such a way with the lower end of the tablet stack opposite the removal opening or with a lift element carrying the tablet stack to cooperate, that they allow a movement of the tablet stack or the lift element relative to the housing in the direction of removal opening and hinder movement against the conveying direction.
  • first spring tongues elastic "folding shed”
  • the holding means may comprise a plurality of second spring tongues / folding sheds, which are arranged on the conveying element and which are suitable for cooperating with the discharge opening of the opposite end of the stack of tablets or the lift element, that they movement of the conveying element relative to the tablet stack or the Allow lift element against the direction of conveyance and take in the direction of movement of the conveyor element in the conveying direction, the bottom tablet or lift element.
  • the conveying element is essentially tubular, that is to say designed as a hollow cylinder.
  • the conveying element receives the stack of tablets in its interior.
  • the side wall (shell wall) of the conveying element can be arbitrarily broken to save material, as long as the stability of the conveying element is ensured.
  • the conveying element preferably has a distal delivery area, which is suitable for limiting the stack of tablets in the conveying direction.
  • the conveying element preferably has a corresponding top wall, which closes off the conveying element in the distal direction.
  • a dispensing opening is preferably formed laterally such that a frontmost tablet of the tablet stack received in the dispensing area can be removed from the dispensing area transversely to the conveying direction by the dispensing opening.
  • a lateral removal opening is achieved that tablets are reliably removed in the desired amount, because the tablets can not fall out of the dispenser relatively uncontrolled.
  • the lateral removal opening in the conveying element (and not in the housing) form causes the reasons mentioned below a suitable limitation of the movement of the conveying element from the delivery position into the conveying position.
  • the tablet stack is moved after removal of a tablet by the required path length by pressing the conveying element upwards, so as to prepare a next tablet for the removal.
  • the conveying element from the conveying position in the removal position, ie in the conveying direction, spring-loaded.
  • the conveyor element is preferably arranged in this case so that it can be pressed with the thumb against the spring force in the housing. When you release the conveyor element is pressed back into the dispensing position due to the spring force.
  • the spring element can in particular be arranged between a proximal end region of the conveying element and a bottom region of the housing.
  • the spring element comprises a first ring, a second ring and a plurality of elastic webs, which connect the rings and extend substantially within a peripheral surface inclined to the conveying direction.
  • the spring element and the lift element can be manufactured in one piece with each other in a simple manner and connected to each other via predetermined breaking points.
  • the predetermined breaking points are then dimensioned such that they either break during assembly of the dispensing device, but at the latest during a first actuation of the conveying element.
  • a common one-piece production of spring element and lift element advantageously lowers the manufacturing and assembly costs.
  • a spring force can also be generated by the housing itself.
  • the housing may have a bellows-like region, which is expandable with respect to the conveying direction against a spring force.
  • the bellows-like region divides the housing into a distal portion adjacent to the withdrawal opening and a proximal portion remote from the withdrawal opening.
  • the conveying element is then inserted into the proximal section such that the proximal section is entrained against the conveying direction when the conveying element moves in relation to the distal section, thereby expanding the bellows-like region.
  • this area generates a restoring spring force on the conveyor element.
  • the tablets are basically stacked in the dispenser and fixed in this position. Mechanical damage to the tablets are thus avoided. This is especially important when it comes to accurate dosages. For example, if a tablet that serves the health of a person, mechanically damaged, a patient would take by taking the mechanically damaged tablet too low a dose. Therefore, this embodiment is mainly used for the storage of drugs that are administered in tablet form.
  • the stop may for example be formed annularly within the conveying element. This stop is arranged so that it is located immediately below the prepared for removal tablet. The remaining part of the stack of tablets then hits with its "upper" end against this stop and is so even in its position held when the tablet above it is removed. The risk of mechanical damage to the tablets is minimized because the tablets are kept below the stop.
  • the elasticity and dimension of the stop is so matched to the tablets that by sufficient pressure one tablet of the tablet stack can pass the stop so as to reach the position from which this tablet can be removed.
  • the conveying element comprises in one embodiment of the invention, two half-shells, which are assembled into a tube.
  • the two half-shells are preferably connected to one another by positive locking. It is relatively difficult to manufacture a tube with internal blocking scales and the like. This problem is solved by manufacturing two half-shells, which can be made much simpler and thus cheaper.
  • the removal area with top wall and removal opening of the conveyor element is manufactured separately and slipped over the two assembled half-shells so that the half-shells are held together at least in addition by the separately produced removal area.
  • any combinations are possible. For example, e.g. the way in which the spring force is generated, regardless of whether a lift element is present and how this is guided.
  • the dispenser that is to say the dispensing device, has a housing 100 in the form of an outer tube 110 with a cover 120 integrally connected thereto via a foil hinge 121.
  • the outer tube 110 has a cylindrical sidewall divided by a V-shaped orientation aid 116 for mounting into a first sidewall region 111 and a second sidewall region 112 of slightly smaller internal diameter. Also, the outer diameter is advantageous for the purpose of external, optical orientation aid correspondingly smaller, as out FIG. 1 is apparent.
  • the inner wall of the outer tube thus comprises a funnel-shaped downwardly tapered guide for locking cams 302 or the like of a lift element to be used. By the leadership of the locking cams are directed to the desired position, which especially facilitates the assembly of the corresponding items of the dispenser.
  • the outer tube 110 is closed at the bottom by a bottom 113 and connected to this one piece and thus cohesively.
  • an opening aid 114 is formed opposite to the film hinge 121.
  • the cover 120 of the housing has a short, cylindrical side wall region 123 and an upper cover wall 122.
  • this side wall area is only as high as required in order to be able to seal the removal opening 203 of the conveying element, which protrudes in relation to the housing, in a moisture-proof manner.
  • the height of the lid is at most only slightly higher than the height of the removal opening 203.
  • the height of the side wall 123 is therefore greater than the thickness of a tablet and less than twice the thickness of a tablet.
  • an opening aid 124 is also formed on the lid.
  • a not shown here first opening warranty element may be formed on the cover, which is irreversibly changed or destroyed when first opening the lid and is thus suitable to indicate the integrity of the dispenser.
  • the lid may also be designed differently than shown here and in particular have a child safety, as known from the prior art in various forms. It can also be designed as a screw cap, etc. However, a screw cap has the disadvantage that two hands are usually required to open the dispenser and close again. It is therefore preferable to use a snap-on lid, which is permanently connected to the dispenser by means of a film hinge and thus can not be lost.
  • a conveying element in the form of an inner tube 200 is arranged, which is particularly well in the FIGS. 3 and 4 is recognizable.
  • the inner tube 200 is open at the bottom. It has a substantially cylindrical side wall 201 on the outside. At the upper end of the inner tube, this is closed with a removal region 202 which partially covers the tube at the top and releases a lateral opening 203 for removing in each case one tablet 501 from a stack of tablets 500 received in the inner tube. It is ensured that there is an upper stop for the foremost tablet 501 independently of the lid, which can be removed. The risk of mechanical damage is thus further reduced.
  • the tube is only partially covered at the top, the top tablet can be easily reached from above and laterally pushed out easily. This is particularly advantageous if the upper tablet is clamped. Otherwise, the inner tube may be completely covered at the top, without fear of major handling disadvantages.
  • the inner tube 200 lies with its open lower end 207 on a spring element 400. It is longitudinally displaceable in the outer tube 110 along the common cylinder axis of the inner and the outer tube in a conveying direction 205 and counter to this conveying direction.
  • the initial position which is also referred to as the delivery position is the in the FIGS. 3 and 4 shown position. In this position, the inner tube 200 protrudes so far beyond the upper edge of the outer tube 110, that the removal opening 203 is laterally freely accessible.
  • the topmost tablet 501 of this stack can be pushed laterally in the delivery position with the lid 120 open through the removal opening 203 or u. U. automatically fall out of the removal area when the dispenser is rotated with the removal opening 203 down to the horizontal.
  • An uppermost tablet can automatically fall out, in particular, when the annular stop 208 - also called retaining bead - is positioned so that the uppermost tablet 501 is mounted so as to be easily displaceable. This can be achieved, in particular, by leaving a minimal clearance (upwards or downwards) for the uppermost tablet 201, so that on the one hand the uppermost tablet 501 can easily fall out laterally and, on the other hand, possible movements along the longitudinal axis II-II are restricted in this way, that mechanical damage is not to be feared. The possibility, being able to use the dispenser with only one hand is better supported in this embodiment.
  • the inner tube can be pushed against the conveying direction 205 in the outer tube, wherein the spring element 400 is compressed and exerts a force acting in the conveying direction restoring force on the inner tube.
  • the inner tube can be pushed against this restoring force into a second position, the so-called conveying position. When the inner tube is released, it automatically returns to the delivery position due to the return force.
  • the hinge 121 of the lid 120 is arranged on the diametrically opposite side of the removal opening 203. Instead, another angle may be provided herebetween, in particular an arrangement of hinge and removal opening offset by 90 degrees about the conveying direction.
  • a lift element 300 In the inner tube 200, a lift element 300 is guided. The lowest tablet 503 of the tablet stack 500 rests on the lift element 300.
  • the operation of the dispenser is as follows. If, after delivery of the topmost tablet 501, another tablet of the stack 500 is to be removed, the user presses the inner tube 200 against the spring force of the spring element 400 in the conveying position. In this case, the lift element 300 is held on the outer tube 110 such that the stack of tablets 500 remains unchanged relative to the outer tube 110 in its position. The inner tube 200 thus ultimately shifts downwards by the thickness of a tablet relative to the stack of tablets 500 until the top wall of the removal region 202 rests on the now uppermost tablet and prevents further movement of the inner tube against the conveying direction. Now, when the inner tube is released, the spring element 400 pushes the inner tube back into the dispensing position.
  • the lift element is now taken from the inner tube 200 in the conveying direction 205.
  • the entire stack of tablets 500 shifts upwards by the height of one tablet relative to the outer tube.
  • the top one Tablet of the tablet stack 500 is now in turn ready for removal in the removal area 202.
  • FIGS. 7 to 13 The interaction of inner tube, outer tube, lift element and spring element is in the FIGS. 7 to 13 explained in more detail, which each show these elements individually.
  • the lift element 300 has a frusto-conical sidewall 301, which is closed at the top with a cover surface 306.
  • the side wall 301 of the lift element 300 there are two opposite longitudinal slots 305, which make it possible to compress the lift element along a transverse direction which is perpendicular to the connecting line of the slots 305.

  • Each of these blocking scales has a sliding surface, which is inclined to the longitudinal axis, so that the inner diameter of the side wall 201 in the region of this sliding surface first each upwardly (in the conveying direction) tapers, then abruptly again in the region of an upwardly facing abutment surface dilate.
  • the lift member can slide up inside the inner tube 200 (in the conveying direction). In this case, it is slightly elastically deformed by the sliding surfaces of the blocking scales 204. As soon as the lower edge 308 of the lifting element 300 has left the region of a sliding surface and has come over the abutment surface, the lifting element widens slightly again.
  • the lift element can only move upwards (in the conveying direction) incrementally in the inner tube by the distance of adjacent blocking sheds.
  • the inner tube 200 has on opposite sides of the side wall 201 two longitudinal slots 205 through which locking cams 302 of the lift element are passed. These locking cams cooperate with blocking sheds 115, which are formed on the inner surface of the side wall of the outer tube 110. These blocking scales form a narrow strip which extends along the longitudinal direction and is slightly recessed into a groove of the side wall.
  • the lift element 300 is longitudinally guided with the locking cams 302 in this groove and is secured against rotation in this way with respect to the outer tube.
  • the orientation aid 116 contributes to the fact that the locking cams 302 reach the recessed blocking sheds 115.
  • the blocking shed may be configured, for example, annular.
  • the locking cams 302 have a sliding surface 303 which extends inclined to the longitudinal axis, so that the distance of the sliding surface from the central axis increases towards the bottom. At the lower end of the locking cam stop surfaces 304 are formed, which are directed substantially downwards (counter to the conveying direction).
  • the locking cams 302 slide with the sliding surfaces 303 over the blocking sheds 115.
  • the lifting element is compressed against the deformation force F R in the transverse direction.
  • the stop surface 304 strikes an oppositely directed stop surface of the blocking shed 115, so that pushing back is prevented.
  • the lift element 300 is therefore both in relation to the outer tube 110 and against the inner tube 200 only gradually by the distance between two successive blocking sheds 115 and 204 in the conveying direction and blocked correspondingly stepwise against displacement in the opposite direction. In this way, it is ensured that the lift element 300 remains stationary when the inner tube 200 is pressed into the outer tube 110 with respect to the outer tube, so that the inner tube 200 shifts in relation to the stack of tablets counter to the conveying direction by the thickness of a tablet. It is further ensured that the lift element is taken along by the return movement of the inner tube of this in the conveying direction by the thickness of a tablet.
  • the thickness of a tablet corresponds exactly to this Distance between two successive blocking sheds 115 and 204. In this way, the tablet stack is promoted in each back-and-forth movement of the inner tube by the thickness of a tablet in the conveying direction.
  • the blocking sheds may also have a distance corresponding to only an integer fraction of the thickness of a tablet.
  • the locking cam of the lift element slides in the promotion of a tablet over several locksheds away. This makes it possible to use the same dispenser for tablets of different thickness.
  • the lift element can additionally be designed as a holder for a desiccant, as shown in FIGS FIGS. 14 to 16 is shown.
  • the lift element has an annular receiving region 310, in which a cylindrical tablet or a granulate of a desiccant 311 is received.
  • the desiccant is held in the receiving area 310 by a holding plate 312, which can be made of gas-permeable cardboard, for example.
  • the top wall 306 of the lift element in this embodiment has a plurality of through-openings 307.
  • the inner tube 201 can be formed from a plastic composite material which itself has moisture-absorbing (hygroscopic) properties, for example a molecular sieve-like material.
  • a plastic material is, for example, in WO 97/032663 disclosed.
  • To produce the inner tube of a moisture-absorbing material advantageously causes the interior to be kept homogeneously dry. The tablets are accordingly homogeneously protected from moisture. In addition, since the tablets are kept stacked in position, this will additionally ensure that tablets are not protected differently from moisture with varying degrees of success.

As the inner tube moves back, it slides along a sloping section Section taken and passes with the control pin in the next transverse section.
  • the inner tube may be fixed in the proximal housing area in such a way that, during the return movement, a torque is produced on the inner tube and thus on the lift element, which presses the lift element into the transverse sections.

  • the tablet stack remains stationary relative to the outer tube because of its engagement with the folding shed 130 of the outer tube.
  • you release the inner tube of this is pressed back by the spring element back into the dispensing position and takes it due to the engagement of the folding shells / spring tongues of the inner tube with the stack of tablets with this and thereby overall promotes the stack of tablets up to the thickness of a single tablet.
  • a lift element can be used, which is formed in the simplest case as a flat, round disc with the diameter of a single tablet and on which the bottom tablet rests. In this case, this lift element acts together with the folding scales / spring tongues instead of the lowermost tablet.
