Device for the packaging and dispensing of solid shaped bodies, especially oral tablets or/and capsules

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for the packaging and dispensing of solid shaped bodies, especially oral tablets or / and capsules, which device has a container sealed with a cap suitable for storing shaped bodies, a dispensing opening, and tools forwarding the shaped bodies from the inside of the container to the dispensing opening. The container (5) is constructed in a house (1) in a way that it can be moved like a piston against elastic returning force.; The dispensing opening (35) is situated in the bottom (2a) of the house (1) ; when the device is in a position when it is not used for dispensing, the end-part of the container (5) , with an opening (20) for releasing one shaped body at a time situated opposite the end of the container (5) sealed with a cap, fits into the dispensing opening (35) by sealing it, and it is constructed in a way that in the course of the dispensing operations it makes it possible to dispense favourably one shaped body at a time outside of the house (1) .

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the packaging and dispensing of solid bodies (shaped solids), especially oral tablets and / or capsules. Background technique [0002] Currently, the most common packaging methods used worldwide for dispensing solid oral pharmaceuticals are blister packs and container packs. [0003] Generally, foamed sheets made of PVC / PVDC (polyvinyl chloride / polyvinyl dichloride) aluminum can hold 4-20 tablets or capsules according to their size, and the drugs are taken out from the sheet and placed one by one The foamed sheet is therefore a suitable hygienic and pilferage solution. However, blister packaging also has some disadvantages, such as a higher cost level; and the fact that in the case of larger quantities of tablets (say more than 50), the packaging is too expensive due to the larger number of blisters. Large, and more than a certain number (such as 100), this kind of packaging is not suitable for practical use, and ordina...

Problems solved by technology

[0011] Although, in addition to increasing operational safety and ease of manufacture in addition to following the set tasks, this solution also equates to improved airtightness, in fact - as confirmed by practical experience and comparative measurements - the air penetrated by the device and moisture provide little protection which is not satisfactory for meeting the requirements specified for pharmaceutical products

Such devices do not contain a seal, which should be ensured by structural elements sliding over each other, however, said seal is not always satisfactory for achieving the desired sealing efficiency

[0012] With regard to the operating safety achievable with known devices, the problem, according to what has been experienced in practice, is that, in the closed state of the dispensing head, its edge which fits into the bottom opening may be unintentionally pushed, for example by a child. inwards due to pressure, with the result that the device separates into two parts, the housing and the slide, and the tablets stored therein fall; this is not only material damage, but also constitutes a clear hazard
