Abstract

A dispenser for dispensing a product in use from a blister pack (200) of the type comprising a support member defining a plurality of pockets (204) arranged in a circle around a blister pack axis, and a cover sheet provided on a dispensing side of said blister pack having rupturable portions which close each of said pockets, comprises a housing (208,210), and a hub (206) for locating in use a blister pack for rotation within said housing (208, 210). A dispensing window (236) is disposed in said housing (208, 210) such that in use a blister pack (200) may be rotated to bring each pocket of a blister pack into registration therewith to allow ejection of the contents. An access aperture (240, 242) is provided in the housing (208, 210) through which in use a user may manually engage an exposed portion of the circumference of the blister pack (200) to apply rotation thereto. Two spaced manually releasable locking means (216) cooperate with the blister pack and are each manually moveable against a bias from a locking position in which the blister pack is prevented from rotation, to a release position in which in use the blister pack may be turned to present a next pocket adjacent the dispensing window.
