Description

DESCRIPTION

PORTABLE GENERIC DISPENSER

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention, as indicated in the title, relates to an easily portable dispenser thanks to its small size, designed to house and dispense different types of food capsules (biscuits, ice cream, etc.), beverages (coffee, infusions , beers, soft drinks, cocktails, fruit juices, baby bottles, etc.), medicines, containers for cosmetic items such as creams or other types of related containers.

The object of this invention is to provide a hitherto unknown solution for several drawbacks that will be discussed later, mainly, it is intended to achieve a final result that allows having an effective, fast and simple means of access to different types of capsules, medicines or containers, being able to combine them with each other and without the limitation that they all have to be the same, neither of the same brand nor of the same size.

The device in question provides essential characteristics of novelty and notable advantages with respect to the means known and used for the same purposes in the current state of the art.

Capsule manufacturers currently offer their products for reasons of cost and speed in logistics, as well as for marketing, based on the same format and packaging.

For example, a dispenser for coffee capsules of the same origin does not allow you to mix capsules that are of different sizes, and of course, much less mix them with those of other brands.

Nor is it normally possible to have different types of Arabica, Robusta or blend coffee in the same container in order to create the wide range of existing preparations; ristretto, expresso, lungo, macchiato, Americano, cappuccino, mocha, frappé, etc.

Regarding medicines, bulky devices are currently known that hinder the mobility of the user by having to be aware of being in the appropriate place at the time necessary to access them.

Normally the patient has to carry all his medication on his back, which, on occasion, can be several boxes of medicine or a single blister pack of considerable size where all the medications prescribed for a week are housed, or even a lot of little bags that are organized chronologically, put in a box that allows you to consume as appropriate.

With respect to other containers such as cosmetic creams or similar products, the same thing happens as we mentioned about the capsules. These products are always delivered in the same format, type and size, so accessing them through a single dispenser was impossible.

Until now, a generic dispenser, adaptable to different types and sizes of capsules or containers in general, which provides such important benefits as practicality when accessing these products and which is also portable, has not been known in the state of the art. and easy to use.

The device that the invention proposes resolves the aforementioned problems in a fully satisfactory manner, providing a series of advantageous and innovative characteristics, and without implying any reduction in its performance in other aspects.

The proposed invention aims to provide an economical, ecological, practical, simple and easy-to-use solution, the effect of which would be to have a portable dispenser adaptable to different types of capsules or containers in general.

The present invention has its field of application in the field of dispensers.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the state of the art we find some documents related to the sector of the invention in question, although none of them fulfill the same function or provide the same advantageous characteristics.

Thus, in document ES 1075055 U we find a dispenser for coffee or infusion capsules, comprising at least one vertical storage channel for stacked capsules, of the type that is fed through the upper opening and discharged through the lower opening, characterized by the fact that it comprises under the channel a housing accessible from the outside provided with a notch for centering a coffee machine bowl under the channel.

On the other hand, document ES 2000998 B3 provides a dispenser for tablets, capsules or the like, with an outlet opening closed by a slider, which is used for the individual delivery of each tablet or the like and is arranged at the end of a tablet feeding channel that accommodates several tablets in a previously ordered layer position, characterized in that by means of the By actuating the slider, a shaking/vibrating movement of the tablet feed channel can be achieved.

In turn, document ES 1 032 547 U claims a container with a built-in dose dispenser, characterized in that it is constituted from a general container that has one or more panels with several panels attached to one or more of its faces. hermetic capsules.

We also find the document ES 1233 546 U in which a connected programmable electronic modular device is provided for the precise and controlled administration of solid forms, such as pills, tablets, dragees, pills, capsules, microtablets, pellets, granules and others. , characterized by comprising a locker where the solid forms are deposited until they are dispensed.

In these documents we find devices designed to house small containers of the same type and shape, in addition, some of said devices are highly complex and can become bulky.

Thus we see that until now a dispenser was not known that, due to its innovative characteristics, resolves the aforementioned drawbacks both in terms of the documents cited and other inventions or traditional systems that we find in the state of the art.

Taking into account the mentioned cases and analyzing the combined arguments, the invention proposed in this document gives rise to a final result in which significant differentiating aspects are provided compared to the current state of the art, and where a series of of advances in the already known elements with their corresponding advantages.

In particular:

- It has a simple structure.

- It is easy to use.

- It is portable thanks to its small size.

- Supports different types of capsules, medicines or small containers of products at the same time.

- It is no longer necessary to purchase a different dispenser for each type of capsule or medication.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Thus, the present invention is constituted from the following elements: A lower housing, preferably cylindrical, which is attached on its upper face to a preferably cylindrical bowl with a side opening preferably closed by a slider which, in turn, is located at its base, at the junction between the bowl and the lower housing, horizontally, a lower mechanical diaphragm, while it is joined horizontally by its upper face to an upper housing by means of an upper mechanical diaphragm.

Both the upper and lower housings have their respective covers. In one embodiment, both the diaphragms and the slide have manual mechanical opening and closing mechanisms.

Alternatively, a programmed electronic circuit, electrically powered by batteries or batteries, is connected to a weight sensor installed in the lower diaphragm and to automatic opening mechanisms installed in both diaphragms and in the slider, said electronic circuit being also connected via bluetooth or similar to a device such as a smartphone or smartphone equipped with a certain application.

In another embodiment, the electronic circuit is connected to at least one led light and one loudspeaker installed in an appropriate place. The loudspeaker and LED light serve to inform visually and audibly of certain actions such as turning on, activating the system, among others.

Using the dispenser is very simple. The capsules, medications or stacked containers are introduced into the upper housing, and then, for dispensing, the upper diaphragm is opened so that the container falls into the sliding bowl. In the event that the container present in the bowl is not removed or that its content has already been used, the lower diaphragm opens so that it falls into the lower housing.

The greater or lesser opening of the diaphragm allows the entire device to adapt to different shapes and sizes of capsules or containers.

We see that we have two very clear modalities, the first of which is the completely manual dispenser, in which the user opens and closes both the diaphragms and the opening of the bowl.

In a second mode, thanks to the programmed electronic circuit and its connections, the opening and closing of the cup and diaphragms are carried out automatically.

The weight sensor has the functionality to determine if the container that is in the bowl is the one that should be according to the default by programming of the electronic circuit and/or instructions received from a mobile phone application.

The automated system allows, for example, a mobile phone, to send signals to the electronic circuit so that it executes the opening or closing of the diaphragms or bowl and verifies, depending on the weight, if the container to be accessed is the expected one, or if a container has been in the bowl for longer than expected and, therefore, it must automatically fall to the lower housing.
