Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dispenser for portionable goods, in particular for tablets, having a base body, a dispensing opening and an actuating device, which is designed such that, on actuation of the actuating device, good can be dispensed from the dispensing opening.
  • Such dispensers are generally used as tablet dispensers, to make it easier, more accurate and easier to organize for the patient.
  • stationary tablet dispensers There are also stationary tablet dispensers. These stationary tablet dispensers have the advantage that significantly more tablets can be taken and they also have other means that allow the patient to make his tablet intake easier, for example via a reminder function.
  • a disadvantage of these stationary donors is that the mobility of the patient is considerably limited and this actually can not be removed from the tablet dispenser for a long time. It must be ensured that the patient is present at the tablet dispenser during the time of taking the tablets.
  • the pamphlets US 4,811,764 A and the US 5 522 525 A each show such a dispenser for tablets with the features of the preamble of claim 1 of the invention in which the dispenser at least one closure device, a first reservoir and at least one second reservoir.
  • the reservoirs are arranged to be movable relative to the base body in the main body and each have an equal number of individual chambers for receiving the goods or the tablets.
  • the closure device of the dispenser is designed so that in each case only one chamber is in communication with the dispensing opening, wherein upon actuation of the actuating device, the first reservoir is movable to bring a subsequent chamber in connection with the dispensing opening.
  • the present invention also relates to such a portable dispenser.
  • Another problem is that many patients have to take a variety of different medicines at different times, and it therefore takes a lot of effort to organize this.
  • the dispenser according to the invention is distinguished from the aforementioned dispensers of the prior art in particular in that the first reservoir of the dispenser according to the invention has a driver, the driver then engages the second reservoir of the dispenser when the first reservoir has performed a number of movements corresponding to the number of chambers of the first reservoir. In other words, therefore, the first reservoir is moved until its chambers are completely empty and then the movement is transferred to the second reservoir, so that it can be emptied. Since only one chamber at a time is emptied in chronological order, the tablets can be sorted in the individual chambers according to the order in which they are to be taken, and the patient merely has to actuate the actuating device so that the tablet is dispensed through the dispensing opening ,
  • the dispenser according to the invention thus has the advantage that the tablets are dispensed in chronological order and the patient only has to actuate the actuating device at the right time for taking the tablets.
  • the actuating device rotates upon actuation of the first reservoir to a longitudinal axis of the base body.
  • this results in a substantially round shape of the body, making it comfortable to hold and can be stowed and taken away quickly and easily.
  • the first and at least a second reservoir have a cylindrical shape with a bottom and an at least partially open top surface. It is advantageous if the chambers are pie-like segments. Thereby, the individual chambers can be filled in chronological order with the tablets to be taken, which are accordingly output by actuation of the actuator through the discharge opening.
  • the closure device is formed at least from the bottom of a second storage container and a closure element of the main body; and at least a part of the bottom of the second reservoir is recessed in a chamber-free area.
  • the closure element according to the invention has an opening which is or is in direct connection with the dispensing opening. If the individual storage containers are mounted one above the other in the longitudinal direction, so a chamber of the first reservoir is emptied by being moved so that the bottom of the second reservoir no longer closes the chamber, but the chamber through the recess in the chamber-free area of the second Emptying reservoir can.
  • the recessed portion of the second reservoir is in direct communication with the opening of the closure member so that the product or tablet may be dispensed along the second reservoir and at the opening of the closure member toward the dispensing port.
  • the second reservoir is moved so that the chambers of the second reservoir, which were hitherto closed by the closure element, are successively moved over the opening of the closure element, so that the respectively received in the chambers Good through the Opening for dispensing opening can be dispensed.
  • first and at least one second reservoir each have a projection and a recess, wherein the projection of a reservoir into the recess of the other reservoir is insertable, so that the reservoirs are stackable and immovable to each other in the lateral direction.
  • the reservoir can therefore be rotated in particular against each other, but they can not dissolve in a lateral direction from each other. This makes it possible to stack the reservoir after filling with the good and then introduce into the body of the donor, so that the tablet can be taken in chronological order.
  • the actuating device has a pressure element, a cam element, an engagement element which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the cam element and is in operative connection with the first reservoirs, an upper housing part and a spring element which is arranged between the cam element and the engagement element.
  • the upper housing part has According to the invention a number of cam surfaces which exceeds the number of chambers of a reservoir by one, wherein the cam surfaces are separated by incisions, wherein the cam member has at least one cam, which is engageable with one of the incisions.
  • the cam element is displaceable against the spring force along the longitudinal axis of the main body or of the dispenser by actuation of the pressure element, so that the cam can be brought out of engagement with the incision, whereby the cam moves along a cam surface in the direction of a next incision.
  • the actuator performs each time the pressure element, a movement of the first reservoir, which is necessary for the emptying of a chamber. Since the cam of the cam member slips after movement into an incision and is then received in this, unwanted rotation of the engaging element is excluded.
  • the pressure element is actuated, the cam element is moved against the spring force, so that the cam is disengaged from the incision and slid along the next cam surface in the direction of the next incision.
  • cam member Since the cam member is rotatably connected to the engaging member, the movement of the cam member via the engaging member is transmitted directly to the first reservoir. Thus, upon actuation of the actuating device, such a movement of the first reservoir results in always exactly one chamber being emptied. Further, by resting in one of the incisions cam prevents unwanted rotation.
  • the pressure element has a circumferential serrated portion, wherein the serrated portion on actuation of the pressure element at the at least one cam applies and the cam along the curved surface leads in the direction of the next incision.
  • At least the first reservoir on a locking element which is arranged on a side surface of the first reservoir, wherein the latching element can be latched into corresponding counter-elements on the base body.
  • the actuating device has a pressure element, an upper housing part, a motor-driven moving element and an engaging with the first reservoirs in operative connection with the moving element and rotatably connected engaging element, wherein the moving element performs a movement upon actuation of the pressure element.
  • a stepping motor is used as the movement element, which is moved by one step on actuation of the pressure element, so that the movement is transmitted directly to the first reservoir. This has the advantage that no force has to be expended to spend a good through the discharge opening.
  • the operative connection between the engaging element and the first reservoir is a tooth connection.
  • a tooth connection is particularly well suited to transmit a movement, in particular a rotational movement.
  • the dispenser has a locking element with at least one locking tooth and at least one corresponding locking groove, wherein the locking tooth can be brought into engagement with the locking groove, so that the pressure element is locked against actuation.
  • the locking element is annular and by a slight rotation, a locking of the pressure element is generated by the locking tooth engages in the locking groove and thus prevents movement of the pressure element.
  • the dispenser has a control unit, a power supply and at least one sensor unit, wherein the at least one sensor unit is a detection unit for detecting the output of goods and / or an accelerometer and / or a tilt sensor.
  • the at least one sensor unit is a detection unit for detecting the output of goods and / or an accelerometer and / or a tilt sensor.
  • the dispenser has at least one output device for tones and / or optical signals and / or tactile signals.
  • the dispenser can remind the user by issuing signals, such as a vibration signal, that a tablet is due for use. It is conceivable that the timing and type of output signal is programmable.
  • the dispenser expediently has at least one communication unit, wherein the communication unit is in particular a wireless communication unit.
  • the communication unit is in particular a wireless communication unit.
  • the donor can be externally configured and tell the attending physician whether the patient has taken his tablets at the right time. Further, this also allows a physician or other medical staff to access the donor to configure it according to the patient's therapy. It is also conceivable that such access via an app, for example, with a smartphone or the like can take place.
  • the power supply is formed via a rechargeable energy store, wherein the energy store can be charged in particular via a wireless energy transmission, preferably an inductive energy transmission.
  • a wireless energy transmission preferably an inductive energy transmission.
  • the dispenser expediently has at least one subsequent second storage container, the second storage container having a driver, wherein the driver acts on the subsequent second storage container when the second storage container has performed a number of movements corresponding to the number of chambers of the second storage container.
