Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging for any product, such as tablets or the like.
  • tablet or like terms this includes any dry and solid form product encompassing not only tablets but also soft capsules, capsules, lozenges, pills, and the like.
  • tablette For all of this type of product, and in order to simplify the text, the term “tablet” will be adopted in a general way.
  • these tablets are arranged in bulk in a container.
  • dispensing systems require moving parts with specific rotational movements of a workpiece relative to each other, traction, compression or other, as well as specific bearing areas on parts of the dispensing system.
  • these tablets are toxic and irritating, and should not be affected, such as solid pellets of chlorine or fertilizer, for example.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome these various disadvantages and to allow a simple unitary distribution of tablets, capsules or the like, regardless of the forms thereof by limiting gestures or complex movements.
  • the invention relates to a packaging for any product, for example tablets or the like, arranged in bulk in a container, itself surmounted and closed at its upper part by a dispenser capable of delivering the tablets contained, by the intermediate of an external receptacle or bucket in which the consumer takes the tablets to the unit, characterized in that the portion forming the dispenser comprises: - a chamber for receiving and discharging the tablets, which, when the container is turned over, , are in bulk at an enlarged base of said chamber, in communication with the container, the lateral part of the chamber being at least partially inclined towards an open top thereof, opposite its base, and in communication with
  • a distributor arranged fixedly at the level of the enlarged base of the receiving chamber, and defining at least two possible passages, arranged in such a way as to allow only one of the tablets to pass through them in one or other of them. a direction chosen, blocking those who are not on the one hand, and guiding those who are properly oriented towards the exit trough on the other hand.
  • the energy required for the orientation and distribution of the tablets can be provided by the mixing caused by the overturning of the container and associated dispenser.
  • the invention also relates to the features which will become apparent in the course of the description which follows, and which should be considered in isolation or in all their possible technical combinations.
  • Figure 1 shows an exploded perspective view of a packaging according to a first embodiment of the invention. 'invention.
  • Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the dispensing portion of the packaging according to Figure 1.
  • FIG. 3 is an end view of the dispensing portion according to FIG. 2.
  • Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view of a packaging according to a second embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a plan view of a packaging according to FIG. 4.
  • Figure 6 is a perspective view of a packaging according to Figure 4, after assembly of the various components.
  • FIG. 7 is a sectional view of the dispensing portion of the packaging according to FIG. 4.
  • Figure 8 is an end view of the dispensing portion according to Figure 7.
  • Figure 9 is a plan view of a package according to a third embodiment.
  • FIG. 10 is a sectional view of the dispensing portion of the packaging according to FIG. 9.
  • FIG. 11 is an enlarged end view of the dispensing portion according to FIG. 10.
  • Packaging 1 shown generally in Figures 1, 2 and 3 is for any product, for example tablets 2 or the like.
  • a container 3 itself surmounted and closed at its upper part by a dispenser 4 which can be closed by a plug 5.
  • This dispenser 4 is therefore able to dispense the tablets 2 via an external receptacle 6 or trough, in which the consumer takes the tablets 2 to the unit.
  • the part forming the distributor 4 comprises:
  • At least one of the passages 9c defined by the distributor 8 is in the axial alignment of the trough 6, to constitute a preferential passage, the other 9a, 9b constituting auxiliary passages , in case a tablet does not appear in front of the preferential passage 9c.
  • the trough 6 is of a size and shape substantially corresponding to that of the tablet 2 to be dispensed, and has an upper opening ⁇ a directed upwards in order to release the said tablet 2 by inverting the container and of the associated dispenser down, then allow, if necessary, the presentation in the bucket 6 of another tablet 2 by repositioning it in its original position and repeating the dispensing movement.
  • the distributor 8 disposed in the receiving chamber 7 of the tablets 2 is constituted by at least one fin 10a, 10b, 10c, on either side of which are made the passages 9a, 9b, 9c of the tablets 2, one of which 9c is preferential and the other 9a, 9b auxiliary.
  • this distributor 8 is constituted by three fins 10a, 10b, 10c forming between them 120 ° angles around a longitudinal axis ZZ '. This axis is offset with respect to the longitudinal axis XX 'of the distributor 1. Furthermore, the receiving chamber 7 is formed by a cone portion whose axis of revolution WW is oblique with respect to said axis XX' of the distributor 1 Thus, room 7 presents a right side wall 7d and offset from the axis XX 'to be in alignment with the bottom of the bucket 6 also offset from the center of a perpendicular end wall 11.
  • the housing defined by the right wall 7d of the cone portion forming the chamber 7 and two of the fins 10b, 10c of the distributor 8 constitute the preferred passage 9c of the tablet 2.
  • the passage or passages 9a, 9b constitute the auxiliary passage (s) and are defined by the inclined wall 7b of the cone 7 and the third fin 10a associated with the two previous 10b, 10c.
  • the distributor 8A is constituted by four fins 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d forming between them 90 ° angles around a longitudinal axis XX ' confused with that of the distributor IA.
  • the receiving chamber 7A is formed by a portion of cone whose axis of revolution coincides with that of the distributor IA, so as to define the passages 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d, one of which is enlarged by a recess 13d 14 at the oblique wall 7Aa of the chamber 7A to form a preferred passage 13d located right of the trough 6A also central, located in the axis of the distributor IA, the other three passages constituting auxiliary passages.
  • the distributor 8B is constituted by a stud 15 disposed on a wall 16 of the receiving chamber 7B, inclined towards the bucket 6B with which the chamber 7B communicates, said pad 15 being formed along a longitudinal axis offset and parallel to the axis longitudinally of the distributor 8B, so as to define firstly a preferential passage 17a between the inclined wall 16 carrying the pad 15 and the wall of the chamber 7B vis-a-vis the tablets 2 having a good orientation, and on the other hand two auxiliary passages 17b, 17c on either side of the stud 15.
  • splitter can be imagined, such as central tube, bar over the entire width of the chamber, succession of peripheral studs, etc. to form a distributor allowing a preferential passage and at least one auxiliary passage.
