Abstract

The inventive dosing and distributing device consists of a support (1) with a mounting base (5) which can be adapted on the top of a receptacle (4) containing the product to be distributed; a dosing chamber (2) and calibrating means, such as a calibrated piston (3). Said support (1) comprises a cylindrical body (6) in which the dosing chamber (2) is mounted in such a way that it can rotate. The piston (3) is introduced into the dosing chambre (2), where it delimits a cavity (25) corresponding to the dose to be distributed. Said cavity is filled by turning the receptacle (4), through openings arranged so that they correspond. Once the metering chamber (2) has been rotated, the dose of the product to be distributed is delivered by a pouring spout (10) that is formed on the support (1), through other openings which are also arranged in such a way that the correspond. A dosing and distributing device of this type can be used for distributing pharmaceutical products in the form of microbeads or microgranules.

Dependent claims

Dispenser for products in powder form and the like, characterized by being comprised, in combination:

of a support (1) having a base (5) fittable onto the top of a receptacle (4) containing a product (26) in powder form or the like to be dispensed, and a hollow cylindrical body (6) mounted on base (5), the cylindrical body (6) being open at its top but closed at its bottom by a wall in which at least one lower opening (9) is provided, the cylindrical body (6) having at its bottom at least one lateral opening (11) extended radially outward by a pour spout (10);
of a dispensing chamber (2) of hollow cylindrical shape, open at its upper part and provided at its base with a bottom (12) in which at least one opening (13) is provided, with the base of the side wall of the dispensing chamber (2) having a lateral opening (15) and this dispensing chamber (20) being mounted in cylindrical body (6) of support (1) so that it can rotate between a first angular position in which the opening or openings (13) in its bottom (12) coincide with the lower opening or openings (9) in support (1), and a second angular position in which the lateral opening (15) of said dispensing chamber (2) coincides with the lateral opening (11) in the cylindrical body (6) of support (1), operating means (14) being provided to rotate the dispensing chamber (2) between the two aforesaid angular positions;
of calibration means (3) serving to delimit a cavity (25) of predefined volume corresponding to one dose for dispensing, inside said dispensing chamber (2).
