Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tablet dispenser with a funnel-shaped tablet storage space, at least one tablet separation channel and a tablet dispensing mechanism, all of which are arranged one below the other in a descending direction, so that the tablets to be dispensed move under the action of gravity from the starting point in the tablet storage space to the tablet dispensing mechanism, the tablet dispenser consisting of at least two Other, non-rotating, form-fitting parts that can be moved relative to one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis, wherein the upper part in the dispensing direction forms the tablet storage space.
  • the tablets to be dispensed in large quantities are located in a storage room that has a suitable floor surface on which the tablets reach a tablet orientation room.
  • This tablet orientation room can be arranged centrally (GB-A2 108 086, US 4,354,619, DE-A 20 45 977) or peripherally to the tablet storage room (DE-A 26 38 164, US 4,228,920).
  • the design of the tablet orientation room must be adapted to the shape of the tablets to be dispensed and is more complex the more irregular the outer contour of the tablets is. In principle, however, even today, tablet dispensers only make sense for the simplest geometrical forms, such as spherical, lenticular and disc-shaped tablets.
  • a tablet dispenser in which the storage space is cylindrical and is telescopically mounted in an outer dispensing part.
  • a dispensing mechanism which is mounted in the dispensing part so as to be rotatable and sprung, projects conically into the cylindrical tablet storage space and forms an annular tablet orientation and separation space between itself and the wall of the tablet storage space.
  • a tablet dispenser which has all the features mentioned at the outset is known from EP-A2-0'188'278.
  • the tablet orientation space is designed here as a slit-shaped space that crosses the floor of the tablet storage space and runs toward the bottom, which is part of a functional element that is connected to the upper part in the dispensing direction that partially forms the tablet storage space.
  • the actuating part Since the upper part of the dispenser must be pressed in the dispensing direction, this is also referred to as the actuating part, the lower part in the dispensing direction with the edge serving as a standing surface as a standing part.
  • FIG. 1 shows the side view of the circular cylindrical tablet dispenser in its design.
  • the direction of delivery of the tablets runs vertically from top to bottom in the normal position of use shown.
  • the upper part 1 has a diameter which is slightly larger than twice its wall thickness the diameter of the part 2 underneath in the discharge direction, so that the two parts 1 and 2 can be telescopically pushed into one another in the longitudinal axis direction.
  • a preferably transparent cap 3 is put on the upper part 1, which covers the storage space to be described in part 1, but permits control of the amount of tablets contained therein.
  • the tablet dispenser according to FIG. 1 is shown in FIG. 2 in the same upper rest position in a vertical section through the center.
  • the upper part 1 in the direction of delivery of the tablets has a funnel-shaped tablet storage space 4 which is covered by the cap 3 described above.
  • a tubular extension 5 connects to the funnel-shaped storage space 4.
  • a cylindrical apron 6 runs downward from the upper edge of the funnel-shaped storage space and appears in FIG. 1 as the outer wall of the upper part 1.
  • the lower part 2 where the terms below and above are always to be understood with respect to the direction of tablet dispensing, has an annular wall 7 which can be seen as an outer contour in FIG. 1 and which has an intermediate base 8 approximately halfway up.
  • a column-like annular wall 9, closed at the top, is pulled up centrally on the intermediate floor 8, which hardly protrudes into the funnel-shaped storage space 4 in the position shown.
  • This columnar ring wall 9, often referred to as the column forms the inner wall 10 with respect to the center axis and the tubular extension 5 of the upper part 1, the outer wall 11 of a tablet separation channel 12.
  • the column 9 is tapered at the top, so that a shoulder 13 is formed, which runs with a slope to the separation channel 12.
  • the space above the shoulder 13 represents the tablet orientation space 14, in which the falling tablets are aligned in such a way that they fit into the separating channel 12.
  • the intermediate floor 8, of which only a ring remains, so to speak, around the column 9, has three spring elements 15 arranged in a circle around the closed, columnar ring wall 9 and extending upward from the level of the intermediate floor. Supports 16 projecting vertically from the inside of the skirt 6 onto these spring elements 15.
  • the tablet dispensing mechanism 17 is integrally released without additional parts, that is to say the elements required for the dispensing mechanism are integrated with the two parts 1 and 2 which are movable relative to one another.
  • a dispensing plate 18 is provided, which is arranged at the lower end between a radially inward strut 19 and the vertical wall 19a of the shoulder 13 on the tubular extension 5. This dispensing plate 18 lies in the non-compressed position of the two parts 1 and 2 approximately at the level of the intermediate floor 8 and closes the tablet separating channel 12.
  • the outer wall 11 of the tablet separating channel 12 seen from the center is in the upper region through a region of the upper part 1 formed, is flexibly designed by two slots arranged on the two edge regions of the channel and ends in a bevel 20.
  • this bevel 20 rests on an opposite bevel 21 (FIG. 5), which is the end of a likewise flexible, forms elastically deformable wall portion 22 of the lower part 2.
  • the two wall parts 11 and 22 are aligned and expose the full diameter of the separating channel 12, so that the lowest of the tablets T1 located therein lies on the tablet dispensing plate 18.
  • the tablet T2 located above is essentially above the separation point at the bevels 20, 21 ready.
  • To dispense a tablet the upper part 1, or the cap 3 pressed.
  • the spring pressure of the spring elements 15 on the supports 16 must be overcome.
  • the tablet delivery plate 18 slides down, the bottom tablet T1 sliding out of the separating channel 12 and falling onto the surface F on which the tablet dispenser is located.
  • the column 9 pushes into the tablet storage space 4 and loosens the tablets therein, thereby preventing the tablets from being blocked.
  • the relative movement of the strut 19 with respect to the column 9 and the slide (shoulder) 13 also prevents a tablet from jamming therein or causes the jammed tablets to come loose again.
  • the two bevels 22, 21 slide one above the other so that the aforementioned wall parts 11, 22 overlap, as a result of which the separating channel 12 narrows and the tablet T2 is held in the separating channel. If you let go of part 1, the springs 15 press it back into the starting position back and the tablets slide one position further.
  • FIGS. 7 again shows the tablet dispensing in the depressed position, which corresponds to the position shown in the sectional drawing according to FIG. 8.
  • the elements corresponding to the variant described above are provided with the same reference numbers.
  • the direction of delivery of the tablets is also the same.
  • the upper part in the discharge direction is again designated 1, the lower with 2 and the cap with 3.
  • the tablet storage space is somewhat larger and more inclined and opens into a relatively short, tubular extension 5.
  • the apron 6, which extends downward from the upper edge of the tablet storage space, has inwardly directed cams 24 which are in grooves 25 in the outer ring wall 7 of the engage lower part 2.
  • the column-like annular wall 9, which is closed at the top, is in turn molded onto the intermediate base 8 in the lower part 2 and has four perpendicularly projecting partition walls 26 extending in the longitudinal direction of the axis.
  • the top of the column 9 also protrudes in the uncompressed one Position in the tablet storage space 4.
  • the partition walls 26 are guided in the tubular extension 5.
  • a cylindrical sleeve 27 surrounding the partition walls 26 is provided in an intermediate region.
  • the tablet orientation space 14 is formed by the interaction of the dividing walls 26 tapering to the top of the column 9 with the funnel wall of the tablet storage space 4.
  • the adjoining tablet separation channels 12 are thus formed by the partition walls 26 and the ring wall 9, and in the upper part by the tubular extension 5, while in the central region the tubular extension is replaced by the sleeve 27.
  • the output mechanism is implemented by means of a separate, also movable part.
  • the sleeve 31 has a horizontal cover plate 32 approximately in the middle with a through hole 33, the dimensions of which correspond to the cross section of the tablet separation channel.
  • a relief-like control cam 34 is formed on the outside of the sleeve 31 and is formed by a shoulder.
  • two radially opposite scanners 28 are guided, which are attached to the tubular extension 5 of the funnel-shaped tablet storage space 4.
  • the disc 30 itself is held in a form-fitting manner in a V-shaped groove 35 between several partial walls 29 which are attached to the bottom of the intermediate floor 8 and form a tube section. With each stroke of the parts that can be moved relative to each other, the disc is rotated step by step according to the control curve.
  • resilient tongues 36 which are partial areas of the sleeve 27, are pushed through an elevated wall 37 of the rotating part to the inside of the tablet separating channel and jammed, as in the example described above, the second lowest tablet in the separating channel.
