Abstract

A container for the dispensing of tablets one by one in which, below a drop-out chamber arranged below a sorting trough the container wall has a tablet drop-out opening in front of which, in each case, one of the tablets is released by spring-loaded sliding movement so as to drop out. Two housing caps supplement each other to form the container and can be telescopically inserted one within the other, one of the housing caps forming the drop-out chamber below the sorting trough which is formed by the two housing caps together, the drop-out opening of the chamber being closed in the relaxed position of the spring by a wall section of the other housing cap, the last-mentioned housing cap having a division finger which in the pushed-together position of the two housing caps closes off the sorting trough from the drop-out chamber.

Dependent claims

In a container for the dispensing of tablets one by one in which, below a drop-out chamber arranged below a sorting through, a container wall has a tablet drop-out opening in front of which, in each case, one of the tablets is released by spring-biased sliding movement so as to drop out, the improvement wherein

two housing caps complementarily formed and telescopically insertable within each other form the container and an inner storage space for the tablets,
one of said housing caps forms said drop-out chamber below said sorting trough,
said sorting trough is formed cooperatively by said two housing caps,
spring means for spring-biasing said housing caps,
the other housing cap is formed with a section of a wall closing said drop-out opening from said drop-out chamber in an unoperated basic position of said housing caps in a relatively unstressed position of said spring means,
said other housing cap having a division finger, said division finger closes off said sorting trough from the drop-out chamber in a pushed-together position of said two housing caps,
a side wall of said one housing cap is formed with a window which is open to the outside and communicates with the storage space in a plugged-in connection position of said two housing caps,
said window is closed in said unoperated basic position of said housing caps by a partial region of a side wall of said other housing cap.
