The invention concerns a dispenser of objects comprising a body forming a reservoir (2) for storing objects to be dispensed (8), an outlet passage (22) for said objects, arranged at one end of the body (2), and returned translation means (12) capable of performing a reciprocating movement relatively to the body (2) so as to release a predetermined number of objects (8) at each out and in stroke of the translation movement. The invention is characterized in that said returned translation movement are arranged in the form of a flexible membrane with shape memory (12) perforated with a calibrated opening (17), exerting both a spring force enabling said reciprocating movement and, by co-operation with thrust means (18), to control the dispensing of said objects.
A dispenser of objects comprising a body (1) forming a reservoir (2) for storing objects (8) to be dispensed, an outlet passage (22) for said objects arranged at an end of the reservoir (2) to pass said objects to a returned translation means, which has an opening (17), and is comprised of a deformable elastomer membrane (12) for performing a reciprocating movement with respect to the reservoir (2), wherein the elastomer membrane is operationally deformed to move objects (8) positioned in the elastomer membrane toward a protrusion (18), whereby the protrusion (18) is forcibly contacted with the objects (8) to expel a determined number of objects (8) through the opening (17) to a receptacle (23) with each outward and return stroke of translational movement.
