Abstract

The aim with the device is to remind persons who take medicine to take this at the right point of time and to prevent that medicine is taken at the wrong point of time and/or in wrong amount. This has been solved by the medicine being put in a cassette with compartments placed along the periphery in a cylindrical box, where the lid is movable round the centre of the box, or where the cassette is movable in relation to the lid. The lid is equipped with a hole which, when it is in position over a compartment, makes this accessible. None of the other compartments are then accessible. The feeding/transport of the lid or the cassette is controlled by a timer with alarm.

Description

504 042 2 RITNING MED FóRKLARmG I nedanstående exempelritning (figur l och 2) är framdrivningen ordnad med en motor (1). Vid programmerbara tidpunkter vrids locket på så sätt att larmsignalen från klockan (2) 'startar motorn, som via en växel driver kassetten (3). Vridningen stannar upp i ett nytt läge då öppningen i locket (4) är i position över nästa fack (5). Denna fimktion styrs av av en sensor med tillhörande elektronik, programstyrverket (6). Askens lock (7) kan inte vridas manuellt. 504 042 2 DRAWING WITH EXPLANATION In the following example drawing (Figures 1 and 2), the propulsion is arranged with a motor (1). At programmable times, the cover is turned in such a way that the alarm signal from the clock (2) 'starts the motor, which drives the cassette (3) via a gear. The rotation stops in a new position when the opening in the lid (4) is in position over the next compartment (5). This function is controlled by a sensor with associated electronics, the program control unit (6). The box cover (7) cannot be turned manually.

Alternativt kan anordningen utformas så att en fiäder drar fram locket tills ett nytt fack blir tillgängligt istället för den ovan angivna motom. Larmet på klockan kan stängas av med hjälp av en knapp eller också genom att asken vänds upp och ner, vilket händer då ett fack töms på sitt innehåll. Altemativt utformas larrnet så att avstängning/kvittens inte behöver ske.Alternatively, the device can be designed so that a spring pulls the lid forward until a new compartment becomes available instead of the above-mentioned motor. The alarm on the clock can be switched off with the help of a button or also by turning the box upside down, which happens when a compartment is emptied of its contents. Alternatively, the alarm is designed so that shut-off / acknowledgment does not have to take place.
