La fixation de l'élément de distributeur peut être effectuée par exemple au moyen de deux paires de bandes du type Velcro 4a, 4b. Le support 2, qui a en l'occurrence une section en forme de C, encadre partiellement les trois éléments de distributeur 3a, 3b, 3c.According to Figures 1, 2 and 3, the distributor designated as a whole by 1 comprises a support 2 intended to be fixed for example on a wall. Several dispenser elements such as the three elements shown 3a, 3b, 3c are removably attached to this support. The dispenser element can be attached for example by means of two pairs of Velcro type strips 4a, 4b. Support 2, which in this case has a C-shaped section, partially frames the three distributor elements 3a, 3b, 3c.
Dans une forme d'exécution de 1' invention non représentée, le support peut faire partie d'un dispositif à parois tournantes sur lesquelles on peut disposer par exemple 24 éléments de distributeur 3 correspondant aux 24 sortes de piles.In an embodiment of the invention not shown, the support can be part of a device with revolving walls on which one can have for example 24 distributor elements 3 corresponding to the 24 kinds of batteries.
Sur la figure 2, un voit le distributeur 1 comportant un élément de distributeur 3 prêt à être utilisé. L'élément de distributeur 3 comporte un récipient 5 posé librement dans un boîtier 6 et un ressort 7 intercalé entre le récipient 5 et le boîtier 6. Le boîtier 6 a une forme parallélépipédique oblongue présentant une face supérieure 8 et une face frontale 9 ouvertes. Cette face frontale 9 comporte une portion de paroi de retenue 10 sensiblement centrale. La partie inférieure 20 du boîtier 6 comporte une butée en saillie 11 qui a la forme d'une tige. La paroi arrière 23 du boîtier 6 comporte dans sa partie supérieure un rebord 12 destiné à retenir à l'intérieur du boîtier le ressort 7.In FIG. 2, one sees the distributor 1 comprising a distributor element 3 ready to be used. The dispenser element 3 comprises a container 5 placed freely in a housing 6 and a spring 7 interposed between the container 5 and the housing 6. The housing 6 has an oblong parallelepiped shape having an upper face 8 and a front face 9 open. This front face 9 has a substantially central retaining wall portion 10. The lower part 20 of the housing 6 has a projecting stop 11 which has the shape of a rod. The rear wall 23 of the housing 6 has in its upper part a flange 12 intended to retain the spring 7 inside the housing.
Le récipient 5, de forme parallélépipédique oblongue appropriée pour contenir un empilement de blisters 13, 13', 13' ', etc. à distribuer est maintenu à l'intérieur du boîtier 6 par la portion de paroi de retenue 10. Il présente en l'occurrence une face supérieure 14 ouverte permettant l'introduction des blisters. Ce récipient 5 comporte sur la partie inférieure de sa paroi frontale 21 une ouverture 15 de la taille de la section d'un blister 13, cette ouverture constituant l'orifice de distribution. En se référant également à la figure 1, la partie inférieure 22 du récipient 5 comporte une fente 16 qui est traversée par la butée 11 en forme de tige, et deux parties de guidage latérales 17a, 17b de forme appropriée pour guider un blister 13 vers l'ouverture 15 lors de sa distribution.The container 5, of oblong parallelepiped shape suitable for containing a stack of blisters 13, 13 ', 13'', etc. to be dispensed is held inside the housing 6 by the retaining wall portion 10. In this case, it has an open upper face 14 allowing the introduction of the blisters. This container 5 has on the lower part of its front wall 21 an opening 15 the size of the section of a blister 13, this opening constituting the dispensing orifice. Referring also to FIG. 1, the lower part 22 of the container 5 has a slot 16 which is crossed by the stopper 11 in the form of a rod, and two lateral guide parts 17a, 17b of suitable shape for guiding a blister 13 towards opening 15 during its distribution.
Sur la figure 2, le ressort 7, qui est intercalé entre le boîtier 6 et le récipient 5 dans l'espace libre situé entre la paroi arrière 23 du boîtier 6 et la paroi arrière du récipient 5, est constitué d'une plaque parallélépipédique présentant deux coudes 18a, 18b. Ce ressort 7, en une seule partie, est fabriqué dans un matériau plastique présentant des propriétés élastiques jusqu'à un certain degré de déformation.In Figure 2, the spring 7, which is interposed between the housing 6 and the container 5 in the free space located between the rear wall 23 of the housing 6 and the rear wall of the container 5, consists of a parallelepiped plate having two elbows 18a, 18b. This spring 7, in a single part, is made of a plastic material having elastic properties up to a certain degree of deformation.
Le récipient 5 contient un empilement de blisters 13, 13', 13' • , etc. présentant chacun un compartiment pour une pile de montre non représentée, ces compartiments étant tournés vers le fond du récipient 5. Le blister 13, qui est situé au bas de l'empilement, est le premier blister qui sera distribué. Le compartiment du blister 13 contenant la pile est situé au voisinage de la tige 11 du boîtier 6 qui traverse la fente 16, tandis que la partie plate rigide 19 du blister 13 repose sur les éléments de guidage latéraux 17a, 17b.The container 5 contains a stack of blisters 13, 13 ', 13', etc. each having a compartment for a watch battery not shown, these compartments being turned towards the bottom of the container 5. The blister 13, which is located at the bottom of the stack, is the first blister to be distributed. The compartment of the blister 13 containing the battery is located in the vicinity of the rod 11 of the housing 6 which passes through the slot 16, while the rigid flat part 19 of the blister 13 rests on the lateral guide elements 17a, 17b.
Pour utiliser le présent distributeur 1, il suffit d'appuyer sur la partie inférieure de la paroi frontale 21 du récipient 5.To use the present dispenser 1, it suffices to press on the lower part of the front wall 21 of the container 5.
De cette manière, comme représenté sur la figure 3, on fait basculer le récipient 5 qui est retenu à 1'intérieur du support 6 par l'élément de retenue 10 contre l'action du ressort 7 qui se déforme. D'autre part, le bord supérieur du récipient peut, le cas échéant, légèrement déformer la paroi supérieure du support 2 qui retient le récipient 5 dans le boîtier 6. Lors du basculement, la tige 11 coulisse à l'intérieur de la fente 16 jusqu'à une position limite, tout en poussant le blister 13 à travers l'orifice de distribution 15. En relâchant l'appui, le récipient 5 revient en sa position verticale de repos représentée sur la figure 2 et le blister 13 situé dans l'orifice de distribution 15 peut être pris. Le blister suivant 13' prend alors la place du blister 13 et peut être prélevé à son tour à la suite d'un actionnement du distributeur.In this way, as shown in FIG. 3, the container 5 which is retained inside the container is tilted. support 6 by the retaining element 10 against the action of the spring 7 which is deformed. On the other hand, the upper edge of the container can, if necessary, slightly deform the upper wall of the support 2 which retains the container 5 in the housing 6. During tilting, the rod 11 slides inside the slot 16 to a limit position, while pushing the blister 13 through the dispensing orifice 15. By releasing the support, the container 5 returns to its vertical rest position shown in FIG. 2 and the blister 13 located in the dispensing orifice 15 can be taken. The next blister 13 'then takes the place of the blister 13 and can be removed in turn following actuation of the dispenser.
Dans une forme d'exécution préférée, le récipient 5 est réalisé en un matériau plastique transparent. Ceci offre l'avantage de permettre un contrôle immédiat du nombre de blisters 13 qui reste dans le récipient.In a preferred embodiment, the container 5 is made of a transparent plastic material. This has the advantage of allowing immediate control of the number of blisters 13 which remains in the container.
Dans la forme d'exécution représentée par les figures 1 à 3, le récipient 5 est réalisé en une seule pièce.In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 3, the container 5 is made in one piece.
Selon une autre forme d'exécution non représentée, le récipient comprend un fond amovible. Ceci peut constituer un avantage si l'on prévoit de distribuer des produits de même taille mais de formes différentes avec un élément de distributeur de dimension standard. Dans ce cas, il suffit de changer le fond amovible préalablement utilisé avec un nouveau fond dont la forme de 1'ouverture 5 et les éléments de guidage 17 sont adaptés à la forme des produits à distribuer.According to another embodiment not shown, the container comprises a removable bottom. This can be an advantage if it is planned to distribute products of the same size but of different shapes with a distributor element of standard size. In this case, simply change the removable bottom previously used with a new bottom including the shape of the opening 5 and the elements guide 17 are adapted to the shape of the products to be dispensed.
Dans la forme d'exécution représentée par les figures 1 à 3, la butée a une forme de tige.In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 3, the stop has a rod shape.
Dans d'autres formes d'exécution, la butée en saillie peut- avoir une autre forme appropriée et traverser la partie inférieure du récipient de façon à être à même de pousser le produit à distribuer vers l'orifice de distribution.In other embodiments, the projecting stop may have another suitable shape and pass through the lower part of the container so as to be able to push the product to be dispensed towards the dispensing orifice.
Le présent distributeur peut, bien entendu, être adapté pour distribuer d'autres produits empilables, notamment par un choix approprié des parties de guidage et de l'orifice de distribution. The present dispenser can, of course, be adapted to dispense other stackable products, in particular by an appropriate choice of the guide parts and of the dispensing orifice.
