Abstract

The distributor is fitted to the end of a tube leading from a receptacle holding granular or particulate foodstuff or pharmaceuticals. It comprises a pair of angular offset rotatable discs mounted on a common axis each with a single opening cut in it for the passage of the material. A sieve element is sandwiched between the discs with the top end of the sieve facing the receptacle. The openings in the discs are diametrically opposed so that when the top end of the sieve communicates with the receptacle, the other end is closed and when the discharge end is open, the top end is closed off from the receptacle.

Description

DISPOSITIF DISTRIBUTEUR DE PRODUITS
CONTENUS DANS DES RéCIPIENTS DESCJIPTION
Le brevet principal concerne un dispositif caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un sas et permet ainsi de faire passer de façon contrôlée et précise les produits contenus dans un récipient d'abord de ce récipient dans le sas, puis du sas à 1' extérieur du récipient. Le moyen de passage des produits du récipient dans le sas, puis du sas à l'extérieur du récipient, consiste en deux disques mobiles, solidaires d'un même axe, disposés à chaque extrémité du sas (un à l"'entrée", l'autre à la "sortie") et percés chacun d'une lumière se présentant en cours de rotation face à ltouvorturo du sas.Ces lumières étant angulairement décalées, lorsque le sas est en communication avec l'intérieur du récipient, il ne peut communiquer avec l'extérieur, et lorsqu'il communique avec I'extérieur, il n'est plus en communication avec l'intérieur du récipient autrement dit, lorsque 1'2'entrée" du dispositif distributeur selon l'invention est ouverte, la sortie en est automatiquement fermée, et lorsque c'est la "sortie" qui est ouverte, c'est 1' "entrée" qui est automatiquement fermée.
PRODUCT DISPENSING DEVICE
CONTAINED IN CONJECTION CONTAINERS
The main patent relates to a device characterized in that it comprises an airlock and thus makes it possible to pass in a controlled and precise manner the products contained in a container first of this container in the airlock, then of the airlock outside the container. The means of passage of the products from the container into the airlock, then from the airlock to the outside of the container, consists of two mobile disks, integral with the same axis, arranged at each end of the airlock (one at the "entry", the other at the "exit") and each pierced with a light appearing in the course of rotation facing the airlock of the airlock. These lights being angularly offset, when the airlock is in communication with the interior of the container, it cannot communicate with the outside, and when it communicates with the outside, it is no longer in communication with the inside of the container, in other words, when the 2 "inlet" of the dispensing device according to the invention is open, the exit is automatically closed, and when it is the "exit" which is open, it is the "entry" which is automatically closed.

On trouvera ci-dessous une description de la présente invention. A description of the present invention is given below.

Ecart ancillaire des lurnic=res.- On pourra naturellement utiliser également à titre de simple variante la position limite des disques 5 et 7 selon laquelle l'écart angulaire des lumières est minimum de telle façon que la "sortie" 8 commence à s'ouvrir dès que l"'entrée" 6 commence à se fermer ; cette position limite présente un avantage de rapidité puisqu'elle réduit au strict minimum la course des disques, donc le temps de manoeuvre, mais aussi un inconvénient : possibilité de retour des produits du sas dans le récipient (donc obligation de recommencer la manoeuvre) et possibilité de sortie prématurée des produits du sas vers l'extérieur (donc perte accidentelle des produits)
Naturellement on pourra aussi utiliser l'autre position limite des disques selon laquelle l'écart angulaire des lumie- res est maximum de telle façon que l"'entree" et la "sortie" soient diamétralement opposées, ce qui présente l'avantage d'offrir la plus grande sécurité de fonctionnement du dispo- sitif distributeur, mais également l'inconvénient d'augmenter jusqu'à sa valeur maximum le temps de la manoeuvre.
Ancillary deviation of the lurnic = res.- One could naturally also use, as a simple variant, the limit position of the discs 5 and 7 according to which the angular distance of the lights is minimum so that the "outlet" 8 begins to open as soon as the "entry" 6 begins to close; this limiting position has an advantage of speed since it reduces the stroke of the discs to a minimum, therefore the maneuvering time, but also a drawback: possibility of returning the products from the airlock to the container (therefore obligation to start the maneuver again) and possibility of premature release of products from the airlock to the outside (therefore accidental loss of products)
Naturally, it is also possible to use the other limit position of the discs according to which the angular distance of the lights is maximum so that the "inlet" and the "outlet" are diametrically opposite, which has the advantage of offer the greatest operational safety of the dispensing device, but also the disadvantage of increasing the maneuvering time to its maximum value.

Matériaux constitutifs.- Les matériaux constitutifs sont naturellement, en raison de l'application envisagée dans le brevet principal, les matières de qualité alimentaire ou pharmaceutique selon les cas. Constituent materials.- The constituent materials are naturally, due to the application envisaged in the main patent, food or pharmaceutical grade materials as appropriate.

Pour le tube contenant les produits (par exemple : granules homéopathiques) on citera notamment le verre qui offre, de plus, l'avantage de permettre de vérifier la coincidence de la lumière "entrée" 6 et de l'évidement 2 (cf brevet principal, Fig. 1). For the tube containing the products (for example: homeopathic granules), mention will be made in particular of glass which offers, moreover, the advantage of making it possible to verify the coincidence of the light "inlet" 6 and the recess 2 (cf. main patent , Fig. 1).

Cependant on peut aisément remplacer cette visualisa tison par un système classique de repbres sur le tube 10 et sur le disque 7, ou de butée sur le tube 10 limitant la course du disque 7 pour l'immobiliser lorsque la lumière Wentréett est en face du sas, puis lorsque la lumière "sor- tie" est en face du sas. However, this visualization can easily be replaced by a conventional system of repbres on the tube 10 and on the disc 7, or of a stop on the tube 10 limiting the stroke of the disc 7 to immobilize it when the Wentréett light is opposite the airlock. , then when the light "goes out" is in front of the airlock.

Le verre présente également l'avantage de visualiser le sas, donc de contrôler son contenu, et, éventuellement, de faire admettre dans ce sas une quantité de produit inférieure à sa capacité (par exemple : 1 ou 2 granules seulement dans un sas de capacité de 3 granules). Glass also has the advantage of visualizing the airlock, therefore of controlling its content, and, possibly, of admitting into this airlock a quantity of product less than its capacity (for example: 1 or 2 granules only in an airlock of capacity of 3 granules).

Toutefois, les matières plastiques courxltes, notamment en homéopathie, seront utilisables, et m.3me éventuellement le métal. However, short plastic materials, particularly in homeopathy, will be usable, and possibly even metal.

Naturellement la pièce 1 devra etre constituée d'un matériau suffisamment souple pour permettre son encliquetage sur l'axe 4, comme cela apparait clairement dans le brevet principal. Naturally, the part 1 must be made of a material which is flexible enough to allow it to snap onto the axis 4, as is clearly seen in the main patent.

Capacité du dispositif.- Selon une variante moins préférée en raison d'un risque de mauvais positionnement des granules, la capacité de l'évidement peut-être déterminée non plus seulement par sa longueur, mais naturellement aussi par sa largeur. Capacity of the device. According to a less preferred variant due to a risk of incorrect positioning of the granules, the capacity of the recess can no longer be determined only by its length, but naturally also by its width.

Le brevet principal montre une variante selon laquelle un tube est muni à son extrémité du dispositif distributeur. The main patent shows a variant according to which a tube is provided at its end with the dispensing device.

Selon une autre variante, le tube est ouvert à ses deux extrémités, et chacune d'elles est munie d'un dispositif distributeur selon le brevet principal. L'un de ces dispositifs ayant une capacité de 2 granules et l'autre une capacité de 3 granules, les doses les plus courantes peuvent être obtenues à l'aide dos différentes combinaisons possibles : 2, 3, 2 + 2, 2 + 3, etc. According to another variant, the tube is open at its two ends, and each of them is provided with a dispensing device according to the main patent. One of these devices having a capacity of 2 granules and the other a capacity of 3 granules, the most common doses can be obtained using different possible combinations: 2, 3, 2 + 2, 2 + 3 , etc.

Selon une autre variante, le disque 5 sera un cylindre, ou une portion de cylindre dont l'intérieur est évidé selon la forme d'un entonnoir excentré dont la lumière 6 constituerait le petit orifice. Cette forme présente l'avantage de favoriser éventuellement l'écoulement des granules vers la lumière, mais aussi l'inconvénient d'occuper à lBintérieur du tube un certain espace au détriment des granules. According to another variant, the disc 5 will be a cylinder, or a portion of cylinder whose interior is hollowed out in the form of an eccentric funnel whose lumen 6 would constitute the small orifice. This form has the advantage of possibly favoring the flow of the granules towards the light, but also the disadvantage of occupying inside the tube a certain space to the detriment of the granules.

Fente permettant l'encliqetaze - On pourra naturellement, à titre de simple variante, placer la fente 9 de la pièce 1 sur tout autre rayon que celui opposé à l'évidement 2. Slot allowing the encliqetaze - We can naturally, as a simple variant, place the slot 9 of the part 1 on any other radius than that opposite to the recess 2.

Selon une autre variante, la fente peut être placée à l'intérieur de l'évidement. L'encliquetage de la pièce 1 sur l'axe 4 ne se fait alors plus, comme dans la variante présentée dans le brevet principal, par le pincement des lèvres de 1' évidement, mais, au contraire, par leur écartement.  According to another variant, the slot can be placed inside the recess. The latching of the part 1 on the axis 4 is then no longer done, as in the variant presented in the main patent, by the pinching of the lips of the recess, but, on the contrary, by their spacing.
