Det er et kendt problem, at tabletteret medicin kan være vanskelig at indtage for mange patienter. Eksempler herpå er især ældre og svagelige patienter og børn. Moderne lægemidler doseres i vidstrakt grad som tabletter, der kan være fremstillet af et meget hårdt komprimeret granulat eller som kapsler indeholdende pulver. Når disse ikke kan siuges, må patienten eller plejepersonalet i findele medicinen og evt. opslemme den i en velsmagende væske, der gør det muligt at indtage medicinen på flydende form. Ved kapsler, såsom hårde gelantinekapsler, er det forholdsvis nemt at udtømme det pulverformede indhold og foretage en opslæmning, men for tabletter er dette ofte forbundet med store vanskeligheder.It is a known problem that tableted medication can be difficult to take for many patients. Examples of this are particularly elderly and frail patients and children. Modern drugs are widely dosed as tablets, which may be made from very hard compressed granules or as capsules containing powder. When these cannot be aspirated, the patient or caregiver must comminute the medication and any. slurry it in a tasty liquid that allows the drug to be taken in liquid form. In capsules, such as hard gelatine capsules, it is relatively easy to deplete the powdered contents and make a slurry, but for tablets this is often associated with great difficulties.
' Kendt teknik'Known technique
Der findes hjælpemidler til tabletknusning, hvor plejepersonalet manuelt kan knuse én eller højst to tabletter af gangen ved hjælp af en krævende vridende bevægelse, som ofte fører til muskel-og ledsmerter. DK 176555 Bl viser og beskriver en tabletknuser og -opløser, der har en underdel med en motor og et roterende skær samt en overdel i form af en beholder. De to dele kan ved hjælp af en pakning samles til en vandtæt enhed, i hvilken tabletter kan knuses ved hjælp af et roterende skær og opløses. Hjemmesygeplejersker og hjemmehjælpere, der udfører pleje af ældre i deres hjem, har behov for en sådan tabletknuser, som nemt kan medbringes, f.eks. i en lomme, og som er i stand til at findele selv hårdt komprimerede tabletter, uden at der kræves manuel knusning, og uden at muskler og led overbelastes. Denne kendte tabletknuser har imidlertid den ulempe, at den kræver en ret omfattende rengøring efter brug.There are tablet crushing aids in which the caregiver can manually crush one or at most two tablets at a time using a demanding twisting motion, which often leads to muscle and joint pain. DK 176555 B1 shows and describes a tablet crusher and solver having a lower part with a motor and a rotating insert as well as a top part in the form of a container. The two parts can be assembled by means of a gasket into a waterproof unit, in which tablets can be crushed by means of a rotating insert and dissolved. Home nurses and home helpers who care for the elderly in their homes need such a tablet crusher that can be easily brought along, e.g. in a pocket, capable of comminuting even hard-compressed tablets, without requiring manual crushing, and without overloading muscles and joints. However, this known tablet crusher has the disadvantage of requiring a fairly extensive cleaning after use.

UdførelseseksemplerEmbodiments
Fig. 1 og 2 er principskitser, der viser et længdesnit i en udformning af opfindelsen i henholdsvis åben og lukket tilstand. Den viste tabletkværn har en underdel 10 og en overdel 11, der er indbyrdes forbundet ved hjælp af et hængsel 12.1 underdelen 10 findes et kammer, der er udformet således, at et udtageligt bæger 13, der fortrinsvis er til engangsbrug, kan anbringes heri.FIG. 1 and 2 are schematic diagrams showing a longitudinal section of an embodiment of the invention in the open and closed states respectively. The tablet mill shown has a base part 10 and an upper part 11, which are interconnected by means of a hinge 12.
De tabletter, der skal knuses, anbringes i dette bæger, i hvilket selve tabletknusningen foregår.The tablets to be crushed are placed in this beaker in which the tablet crush itself takes place.
I overdelen 11 er der monteret en strømkilde i form af et eller flere batterier 14, der er integreret i toppen af et motorhus, som også indeholder en elektromotor 15, der er forbundet med en mekanisk knuser i form af en rotorstang 16 med en tvær-barre eller et skær 17. Rotorstangen 16 passerer gennem en pakning 18, der forhindrer findelt tabletmateriale i at komme i kontakt med motoren. Motorhuset indeholdende batteriet eller batterierne 14 og motoren 15 er aksialt forskydeligt i forhold til den øvrige del af overdelen 11 og presses mod sin øverste stilling af fjedre 19.1 hvilestilliiigen er motorhuset hævet i forhold til kammeret med bægeret 13 ved hjælp af fjedrene 19. Motoren 15 startes ved, at man mod fjederkraften trykker motorhuset i bund. Derved aktiveres en start/stop-afbryder 20 samtidig med, at rotoren 16,17 sænkes således, at skæret 17 kommer i kontakt med tabletter 21, der er anbragt i bunden af bægeret 13.In the upper part 11 is mounted a power source in the form of one or more batteries 14, which are integrated into the top of a motor housing, which also contains an electric motor 15, which is connected to a mechanical crusher in the form of a rotor rod 16 with a transverse rod. bar or cutter 17. The rotor rod 16 passes through a gasket 18 which prevents comminuted tablet material from contacting the motor. The motor housing containing the battery or batteries 14 and the motor 15 is axially displaceable relative to the other part of the upper part 11 and is pressed against its upper position by springs 19.1 In the rest, the motor housing is raised relative to the chamber with the cup 13 by the springs 19. The motor 15 is started know that by pressing the spring force the engine housing is pressed down. Thereby, a start / stop switch 20 is activated at the same time that the rotor 16,17 is lowered so that the cutter 17 comes into contact with tablets 21 placed at the bottom of the cup 13.

Det er en fordel at findelingskammeret er indrettet således, at det kan rumme et udtageligt standard-plastbæger 13, som i forvejen bruges til dosering af tabletter i sygeplejen. Det er en fordel, at kværnetiden kan være mindre end 2 minutter, hvilket kan opnås med eksisterende typer af elektromotorer. Det er endvidere en fordel, at der ved åbning af kværnen aktiveres et sikkerhedsstop 22.It is an advantage that the comminution chamber is arranged so that it can accommodate a removable standard plastic cup 13 which is already used for dosing tablets in nursing. An advantage is that the grinding time can be less than 2 minutes, which can be achieved with existing types of electric motors. It is further advantageous that, when opening the grinder, a safety stop 22 is activated.
Flere udførelsesformer er mulige for tabletkværnen ifølge opfindelsen. I en foretrukket form er kværnen i lommeformat med følgende ikke-begrænsende dimensioner: højde 10 til 20 cm, bredde 9 til 12 cm og mindste tværmål 5 til 6 cm. Det er muligt at integrere mindst 4 AM batterier i kværnen. Batterierne måler 44,5 mm i højden og 10,5 mm i diameter og kan monteres to og to anbragt oven på hinanden. Dette giver mulighed for typisk 4 x 1,5 V til drift af elektromotoren. I en anden foretrukket form er kværnen i bordformat med følgende ikke-begrænsende dimensioner: højde op til ca. 20-25 cm i ikke aktiveret (ikke nedtrykket) tilstand, hvilket giver plads til op til 10 AM batterier. Dermed er der mulighed for at integrere en kraftig elektromotor i kværnen, og der kan dermed kværnes en større portion tabletter af gangen, f.eks. op til 10-12 tabletter af 100-250 mg størrelse. Kværnen ifølge opfindelsen kan være udført med genopladelige batterier og være udformet således, at den kan tilsluttes en ladestation.Several embodiments are possible for the tablet mill according to the invention. In a preferred form, the pocket grinder is of the following non-limiting dimensions: height 10 to 20 cm, width 9 to 12 cm and minimum cross-sectional size 5 to 6 cm. It is possible to integrate at least 4 AM batteries into the grinder. The batteries measure 44.5 mm in height and 10.5 mm in diameter and can be mounted two and two on top of one another. This allows for typically 4 x 1.5 V for operation of the electric motor. In another preferred form, the grinder is in table format with the following non-limiting dimensions: height up to approx. 20-25 cm in unactivated (not depressed) mode, allowing for up to 10 AM batteries. This allows for a powerful electric motor to be integrated into the grinder and thus a larger portion of tablets can be grinded at a time, e.g. up to 10-12 tablets of 100-250 mg size. The grinder according to the invention may be provided with rechargeable batteries and be designed to be connected to a charging station.
