Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tablet dispenser with a Housing with a lid and base part that can be inserted therein as well as with an axially movable penetrating the housing Slider.
  • EP-A-0345413 is a tablet dispenser single-portioned release of tablets known with a Housing, a slider which can be moved within a limited stroke and a Tablet storage room with subsequent output shaft.
  • a Slider Of the Slider is about a leaf spring that is related to its free End supported on a transverse floor, non-positively connected, whereby the slide is held in its initial position.
  • One down the case the bottom does not have a bottom.
  • the slider is therefore also used in this known tablet dispenser Closure organ for the unintentional discharge of others Tablets.
  • the invention is based, which from the EP-A-0345413 known tablet dispenser largely improve that after removing the single tablet without Contamination of other tablets again without effort hermetically closes, this one Tablet dispenser also for a very economical Production and easy disposal should be suitable.
  • the tablet dispenser is according to its invention Training designed to be extremely economical can be manufactured, assembled and assembled. So is for example not only the one trained as a donor organ Slider in the upper area by means of a connected to it Actuating rod in a connecting element of the cover clip-in, but still the lid itself and that Bottom part each in the preferably rotationally symmetrical trained housing can be clipped.
  • This training is suitable especially for the fully automatic assembly of the individual parts forming the tablet dispenser, e.g. B. means a mechanical-automatic device, and this is thus extremely inexpensive to manufacture, assemble and customizable.
  • the lid is closed with an upward advantage concave curvature made of soft-elastic plastic as resilient return element formed.
  • the one found here Solution is not only practical, but cost-saving, elegant and enables operation without opening the Container.
  • a donation under hermetic sealing in the container contained tablets will continue to be great Advantage allows the slider in the lower area one tablet each and one adequate Passage opening in the bottom part designed to be penetrable Has allocation organ, the bottom part one with the Passage trained between one Passage position with clearance of the passage opening and a blocking position with the passage opening closed arranged rotary lock.
  • the tablet dispenser shown in Figure 1 has a housing 1 and a cover 3 which can be used therein and a base part 20 on.
  • the housing 1 advantageously has an externally smooth, Technically favorable, preferably cylindrical Form of space and suitably consists of plastic.
  • the housing has a slide 10 passing through it axially has a tablet 41 when actuated the passage opening 21 in the bottom part 20 with the help of the Dispensing end arranged feed organ 15 conveyed out becomes.
  • the slide 10 has one in at the upper end Connecting element 5 of the cover 3 can be clipped on Actuating rod 11 on. With this is the slider with the Lid 3 non-positively and positively connected, the lid 3 with a curvature 4 upwards soft-elastic plastic as a resilient return element is trained.
  • the slide 10 has at the bottom one tablet 41 each and an adequate one Passage opening 21 penetrable in the bottom part 20 trained allocation member 15, and has the bottom part 20 one formed with a passage opening 21 between a passage position with the release of the Passage opening 21 and a locked position under lock and key of the passage opening adjustable rotary closure 30.
  • This twist lock 30 can for easy handling on the Outside diameter of the housing 1 above with a handy Knurling 31 be formed and its angle of rotation is through Stopper can be limited. However, these are in the interest of better overview not shown and can by the specialist in can be realized in any known manner.
  • the Slider 10 at the lower end of the operating rod 11 in one roughly semicircular on the inside wall of the housing in a small amount Distance along, an upper one in the housing Storage space 22 defining, inclined downwards Intermediate floor 23 above, with a vertical apron 24 continues against the bottom part 20 and in cooperation with a spaced from the housing inner wall vertical guide 25, as best shown in FIG. 4 one can see one of lateral guide webs 26 or 27 limited funnel-shaped chute 28 forms, one the webs 26 on the guide 25 and the other web 27 below Formation of the allocation organ 15 arranged on the apron 24 is.
  • the apron 24 is on both vertical sides and the Intermediate floor 23 with its upper semicircular boundary little clearance is formed from the housing inner wall.
  • the apron 24 points in the area of the allocation member 15 with formation of shoulders 16 and 17 on both sides next to one middle slider 18 recesses on the shoulders 16, 17 as stop stops for limiting the vertical Axial movement of the slide 10 relative to the outlet opening 21 are trained. From Fig. 2 it can also be seen that the Allotment member 15 the shape of a spoon in vertical Alignment.
  • Figure 3 shows a view from below and in an enlarged view Representation of the bottom part 20 within the inner wall of the Housing 1.
  • the bottom part 20 clipped into the housing 1.
  • It is a twist lock 30 formed and has the passage opening 21.
  • she has the basic shape of a rectangle with a bevelled outer one Edge and sits to the other side in a slot 19 away. These serve for the passage of the apron 24 with it arranged allocation organ 15.
  • the lower housing area the bottom part 20 as a twist lock 30 be formed.
  • the twist lock must now be used for dosing 30 can be turned back to the stop, creating the opening 21a, Fig. 3 in the outlet area of the allotment member 15 of the Slider 10 comes and the dispensing process can take place.
  • the twist lock 30 can be used to complete it turned back again and thus the slide 10 in his Movability locked and the passage opening 21st be closed.
  • the rotary lock 30 prevents the cover 3 from being pressed on - which is only assembled after filling the dispenser - one Dosing because the slide 10 due to clipping the rod 11 into the connecting element 5 of the cover 3 seeks to deflect the necessary force downwards, whereby an actuation in the sense of a dosing process would be done. In the locked position when the twist lock is installed this is prevented. In addition, the twist lock 30 at the same time a transport lock if the donor is in filled condition is delivered without outer packaging. By a Stacking in the box can then result in an unwanted donation process not be triggered.
  • FIG. 4 shows at a close distance above the twist lock 30 a cover plate 32, which ensures that the Passage opening 21 in the closed position 21a, Fig. 3 is completely covered from the inside, so that a Hermetic closure of the bottom part 20 results.
  • a cover plate 32 By the Turning away the passage opening 21 below the metering member 15 results in the penetration of dirt particles or Splash preventing cap. There is still the possibility of opening the donor Passage opening 21 until the first use of the Tablet dispenser with a removable security label keep airtight.
  • the design of the cover 3 is particularly useful for the dispenser as a flexible spring, whereby after the Push through due to the restoring force of the material Slider 10 is withdrawn and the next Donation process can be carried out. Because of this flexible cover 3 needs in the slide area of the dispenser no additional spring to be attached. This gives the possibility of making the entire device uniform To manufacture plastic, which is disposal and recycling of the emptied donor significantly improved. Farther there is the possibility with the flexible cover 3 upper housing area clean for the entire service life seal and thus the ingress of dust or To prevent splash water and / or moisture absorption to avoid the tablets.
  • the tablet dispenser is convenient, uncomplicated to manufacture and assemble and is therefore suitable for a Inexpensive, occasionally fully automated mass production.
  • the invention optimally solves the problem at the beginning task.
