Description

 The group of inventions relates to medical goods, more precisely to the packaging of medicines, namely, devices for storing and dispensing tablets, pills, etc.

 A device for storing and dispensing tablets individually, consisting of a body with a cavity open at the bottom, a dispenser in the form of a hollow sliding tray with openings displaced relative to each other in the upper and lower walls, passing through the transverse slot of the closure of the lid (see French patent N 2492343, IPC B 65 D 83/04, 1982). The disadvantage of this device is the possible damage to the tablets at the mouth of the cavity during operation of the device, caused by the chaotic placement of the tablets. Another disadvantage of the device is the need to shake it in cases of congestion of tablets in the lower part of the device.

 Closest to the present invention of the known technical essence and the achieved result, selected as a prototype is a device for storing and dispensing tablets, consisting of a housing with an open cavity for tablets in the form of a vertical channel, the cross section of which corresponds to the shape and size of the tablet, a dispenser in the form of a flat retractable tray with a through hole in the size of the tablet, placed under a vertical channel and passing through a transverse slot in the lower part of the housing boiling the one hand a blind bottom, and the other, open, side of the bonding agent to the housing (see. the German application N 3143953, IPC B 65 D 83/04, 1983). This device has great ease of use, because stacking tablets in a stack allows you to remove tablets without damaging them. The disadvantages of this device are the inability to load a large number of tablets without a significant increase in its height dimension, as well as the need to load tablets strictly in a stack.

 The technical result of using the first embodiment of the invention is to increase the number of stored tablets without increasing the height of the device and simplifying the loading of tablets into the device while maintaining the integrity of the tablets in the process of issuing them.

 This result is achieved due to the fact that in the device for storing and dispensing tablets, containing a container with an open bottom cavity for tablets, a dispenser in the form of a flat retractable tray with a through hole along the dimension of the tablet passing through a transverse slot in the bottom cover of the container according to the invention the bottom cover is provided with a tube for dropping tablets into it, while the lower end of the tube is located above the through hole of the pallet.

 In addition, the upper end of the tube can be made pointed, and the tube is made with a deviation from the vertical. This allows you to install the lid with the tube on the container with minimal effort and ensures reliable entry of tablets into the channel of the tube.

 Also, the upper end of the tube can be made in the form of an expanding tray, which also provides a more reliable entry of tablets into the channel of the tube.

 In addition, to give greater convenience when working with the device, the drawer can be equipped with a return spring made in the form of a flexible plate, its lower end rigidly connected to the pallet, and the upper, free, interacting with the container wall.

 Also, the tube can be made removable, which facilitates the installation of the bottom cover on the container.

 The technical result of the use of the second embodiment of the invention is to increase the number of stored tablets without changing the height of the device, simplifying the loading of tablets into the container while maintaining the integrity of the tablets in the process of issuing them.

 This result is achieved due to the fact that in the device for storing and dispensing tablets individually, containing a container with a tablet cavity open at the bottom, a dispenser in the form of a flat retractable tray with a hole in the size of a tablet passing through a transverse slot in the lower lid of the container, according to the invention, a lid equipped with a protrusion, forming a vertical channel with the stands of the container for tablets to enter through the gap formed by the upper edge of the protrusion with the bottom of the container, the gap corresponding to the thickness fenders, and the hole in the drawer is placed under the vertical channel.

 In addition, the side walls of the container can be spaced at a distance corresponding to the thickness of the tablet, and the gap between the upper edge of the septum and the lower surface of the lid is larger than the diameter of the tablet.

 This ensures reliable operation of the device when the tablets are strictly cylindrical in shape.

 Also, the hole in the drawer can be made in the form of a pocket, which will allow more reliable control of the time of issue of the tablet.

The invention is illustrated by drawings, where:
in FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section of the first embodiment of the device with tablets placed in the container of the device,
in FIG. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same device with tablets moved into the channel of the tube,
in FIG. 3 is a longitudinal section of the same device, at the time of issue of the tablet,
in FIG. 4 is a section BB of FIG. 2
in FIG. 5 - end of the tube in the form of an expanding tray of the same device,
in FIG. 6 is a view A of FIG. 1,
in FIG. 7 is a longitudinal section of a second embodiment of the device,
in FIG. 8 - the lower part of the same device in the embodiment with a hole in the pallet in the form of a pocket.

 The device for storing and dispensing tablets in the first embodiment consists of a container 1, a pallet 2 with a through hole 3 and a cover 4. The pallet 2 is placed inside the slot 5 of the cover 4. The cover 4 is provided with a tube 6, the upper end 7 of which is located above the opening 3 of the pallet 2 Also shown are the pointed lower end 8 of the tube 6, the return spring in the form of a flat flexible plate 9, stops 10 and tablets 11.

 The device operates as follows.

 Tablets 11 are loaded into a container 1, which is closed by a lid 4 (Fig. 1). When the device rotates in the plane of the figure (Fig. 2), part of the tablets 11 enters the tube 6, the first of which, due to the fact that the upper end 7 of the tube 6 is located above the hole 3 of the pallet 2, is inside the hole 3. When moving the pallet 2 inside the transverse slot 5, the tablet 11 located inside the opening 3 is in an unsupported position and falls out of the device (FIG. 3). To return the pallet 2 to its original position, the latter is returned by the force of a finger until the stops 10 contact the container body 1.

 When using a return spring in the form of a flexible plate 9, the pallet 2 returns to its original position automatically, and giving the lower end 8 of the tube 6 a pointed shape reduces the force required to insert the tube inside the container 1 filled with tablets 11 (Fig. 1-6).

 The implementation of the tube 6 with a deviation from the vertical and giving the lower end 8 of the tube 6 the shape of an expanding tray ensures that all tablets 11 get into the tube 6 as the latter are consumed (Fig. 5).

 The second version of the device for storing and dispensing tablets individually consists of a container 1, a sliding tray 2 with an opening 3. The tray 2 moves inside the transverse slot 5 of the lower cover 4. The lower cover 4 is provided on its inner side with a protrusion 12, which forms a vertical channel with the walls of the container 1 13. The protrusion 12 forms a gap 15 with the bottom 14 of the container 1. The side walls 16 of the container 1, tablets 12 and a hole in the form of a pocket 17 in the pallet 2 are also shown.

 The device operates as follows. The container 1 with tablets 11 and closed with a lid 4 is turned in the plane of the drawing to the working position (Fig. 7). In this case, the tablets 11 through the gap 15 formed by the upper edge of the protrusion 12 and the bottom 14 of the container 1 fall into the vertical channel 13, and the first of them into the hole 3 of the pallet 4. By the force of the fingers, the pallet 2 is moved into the slots 5 together with the tablet 11, while it does not end up in an unsupported position. After that, the pallet 2 is returned to its original position.

 If the shape of the tablets 11 is strictly cylindrical, then the side walls 16 of the container 1, located at a distance corresponding to the thickness of the tablets, ensure that the tablets 11 are loaded in exactly the same row, and a gap 15 exceeding the diameter of the tablets 11 allows the latter to enter the channel 13 when tilting the device.

 When making the hole 17 in the form of a pocket, the tablet 11 falls out of the device when the device is tilted in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the figure.

 The application of the proposed group of inventions will simplify the loading of tablets into the device and at the same time maintain the integrity of the tablets in the process of issuing them.
