Description

Dispensers for portionable goods, in particular for tablets

The present invention relates to a dispenser for portionable goods, in particular for tablets, having a base body, a dispensing opening and an actuating device, which is designed such that, on actuation of the actuating device, good can be dispensed from the dispensing opening. Such dispensers are generally used as tablet dispensers, to make it easier, more accurate and easier to organize for the patient.

In principle, three types of such dispensers are available in the market. For one thing, there are the so-called tablet boxes. These are more or less simple boxes with a lid, which have different chambers and therein the tablets - usually the daily ration to be taken - record. As a rule, these chambers are labeled, for example with the day of the week or an indication of the time of taking the medication, for example "morning" or "10:00 o'clock".

There are also stationary tablet dispensers. These stationary tablet dispensers have the advantage that significantly more tablets can be taken and they also have other means that allow the patient to make his tablet intake easier, for example via a reminder function. A disadvantage of these stationary donors, however, is that the mobility of the patient is considerably limited and this actually can not be removed from the tablet dispenser for a long time. It must be ensured that the patient is present at the tablet dispenser during the time of taking the tablets.

Ultimately, there are also portable tablet dispensers, which are usually bulky and also offer little or no opportunities to allow a targeted organized drug intake, since usually only one type of tablets can be issued. US Pat. Nos. 4,811,764A and 5,522,525 each show such a dispenser for tablets having the features of the preamble of claim 1 of the invention wherein the dispenser has at least one closure device, a first reservoir and at least one second reservoir. The reservoirs are arranged to be movable relative to the base body in the main body and each have an equal number of individual chambers for receiving the goods or the tablets. The closure device of the dispenser is designed such that in each case only one chamber is in communication with the dispensing opening, wherein upon actuation of the actuating device, the first reservoir is movable to bring a subsequent chamber in connection with the dispensing opening. The present invention also relates to such a portable dispenser.

The main area of application of such tablet dispensers is that the tablets are taken by the patient at the right time. This is usually readily possible if the patient has no further restrictions in daily life. However, there are also patients who suffer from serious illnesses that make it difficult, if not impossible, to take the medication or tablet at the right time. For example, patients suffering from Parkinson's or Alzheimer's are forced to take the dose they need at the right time. In particular, in Parkinson's patients, it may therefore happen that these fall into a stupor when the tablet intake is forgotten or the tablets have not been taken for any other reason. This rigidity amplifies the effect of itself, since the necessary drug intake in this state is certainly not possible. Sometimes even life-threatening situations can result.

Another problem is that many patients have to take a variety of different medicines at different times, and it therefore takes a lot of effort to organize this.

Finally, many of the solutions known from the prior art are unwieldy or generally unsuitable for the patients, as they may already have problems operating the dispensers.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a dispenser for portionable Good, especially for tablets, which allows the patient to organize his medication intake distributed throughout the day and is also easy to use. The solution of the problem is achieved with a dispenser according to claim 1. Advantageous developments are described in the dependent claims.

The dispenser according to the invention is distinguished from the aforementioned dispensers of the prior art in particular in that the first reservoir of the dispenser according to the invention has a driver, the driver then engages the second reservoir of the dispenser when the first reservoir has performed a number of movements corresponding to the number of chambers of the first reservoir. In other words, therefore, the first reservoir is moved until its chambers are completely empty and then the movement is transferred to the second reservoir, so that it can be emptied. Since only one chamber at a time is emptied in chronological order, the tablets can be sorted in the individual chambers according to the order in which they are to be taken, and the patient merely has to actuate the actuating device so that the tablet is dispensed through the dispensing opening ,

The dispenser according to the invention thus has the advantage that the tablets are dispensed in chronological order and the patient only has to actuate the actuating device at the right time for taking the tablets. Thus, therefore, results in a particularly easy to organize and easy to handle medication and therapy system, with which also different types of tablets can be issued.

Further, it is advantageous if the actuating device rotates upon actuation of the first reservoir to a longitudinal axis of the base body. In particular, this results in a substantially round shape of the body, making it comfortable to hold and can be stowed and taken away quickly and easily.

Conveniently, the first and at least a second reservoir have a cylindrical shape with a bottom and an at least partially open top surface. It is advantageous if the chambers are pie-like segments. Thereby, the individual chambers can be filled in chronological order with the tablets to be taken, which are accordingly output by actuation of the actuator through the discharge opening. Advantageously, the closure device is formed at least from the bottom of a second storage container and a closure element of the main body; and at least a part of the bottom of the second reservoir is recessed in a chamber-free area. The closure element according to the invention has an opening which is or is in direct connection with the dispensing opening. If the individual storage containers are mounted one above the other in the longitudinal direction, so a chamber of the first reservoir is emptied by being moved so that the bottom of the second reservoir no longer closes the chamber, but the chamber through the recess in the chamber-free area of the second Emptying reservoir can. As long as only the first reservoir moves, the recessed portion of the second reservoir is in direct communication with the opening of the closure member so that the product or tablet may be dispensed along the second reservoir and at the opening of the closure member toward the dispensing port. After the first reservoir is emptied, the second reservoir is moved so that the chambers of the second reservoir, which were hitherto closed by the closure element, are successively moved over the opening of the closure element, so that the respectively received in the chambers Good through the Opening for dispensing opening can be dispensed.

It is advantageous if the first and at least one second reservoir each have a projection and a recess, wherein the projection of a reservoir into the recess of the other reservoir is insertable, so that the reservoirs are stackable and immovable to each other in the lateral direction. Thus, the reservoir can therefore be rotated in particular against each other, but they can not dissolve in a lateral direction from each other. This makes it possible to stack the reservoir after filling with the good and then introduce into the body of the donor, so that the tablet can be taken in chronological order.

It is expedient if the actuating device has a pressure element, a cam element, an engagement element which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the cam element and is in operative connection with the first reservoirs, an upper housing part and a spring element which is arranged between the cam element and the engagement element. The upper housing part has According to the invention a number of cam surfaces which exceeds the number of chambers of a reservoir by one, wherein the cam surfaces are separated by incisions, wherein the cam member has at least one cam, which is engageable with one of the incisions. The cam element is displaceable against the spring force along the longitudinal axis of the main body or of the dispenser by actuation of the pressure element, so that the cam can be brought out of engagement with the incision, whereby the cam moves along a cam surface in the direction of a next incision. Thus, therefore, the actuator performs each time the pressure element, a movement of the first reservoir, which is necessary for the emptying of a chamber. Since the cam of the cam member slips after movement into an incision and is then received in this, unwanted rotation of the engaging element is excluded. When the pressure element is actuated, the cam element is moved against the spring force, so that the cam is disengaged from the incision and slid along the next cam surface in the direction of the next incision. Since the cam member is rotatably connected to the engaging member, the movement of the cam member via the engaging member is transmitted directly to the first reservoir. Thus, upon actuation of the actuating device, such a movement of the first reservoir results in always exactly one chamber being emptied. Further, by resting in one of the incisions cam prevents unwanted rotation.

Advantageously, the pressure element has a circumferential serrated portion, wherein the serrated portion on actuation of the pressure element at the at least one cam applies and the cam along the curved surface leads in the direction of the next incision. This has the advantage that the position of the pressure element during actuation is insignificant, since the cam is guided along a serrated surface and is thus always guided in the correct direction from an incision along the curved surface to the next incision.

Conveniently, at least the first reservoir on a locking element, which is arranged on a side surface of the first reservoir, wherein the latching element can be latched into corresponding counter-elements on the base body. This has the advantage that the individual movements of the first reservoir run precisely and one sudden movement of the first reservoir, which could occur due to the inertia of the spring element is effectively prevented.

Alternatively, it is advantageous if the actuating device has a pressure element, an upper housing part, a motor-driven moving element and an engaging with the first reservoirs in operative connection with the moving element and rotatably connected engaging element, wherein the moving element performs a movement upon actuation of the pressure element. In particular, it is advantageous in this case if a stepping motor is used as the movement element, which is moved by one step on actuation of the pressure element, so that the movement is transmitted directly to the first reservoir. This has the advantage that no force has to be expended to spend a good through the discharge opening.

It is advantageous if the operative connection between the engaging element and the first reservoir is a tooth connection. A tooth connection is particularly well suited to transmit a movement, in particular a rotational movement.

Conveniently, the dispenser has a locking element with at least one locking tooth and at least one corresponding locking groove, wherein the locking tooth can be brought into engagement with the locking groove, so that the pressure element is locked against actuation. In particular, it is advantageous if the locking element is annular and by a slight rotation, a locking of the pressure element is generated by the locking tooth engages in the locking groove and thus prevents movement of the pressure element.

It is advantageous if the dispenser has a control unit, a power supply and at least one sensor unit, wherein the at least one sensor unit is a detection unit for detecting the output of goods and / or an accelerometer and / or a tilt sensor. This has the advantage that it can be monitored whether the patient has taken his medication at the right time. Furthermore, as well as the handling of the dispenser can be facilitated by a conditional by gravity output of good is only possible if the dispenser is held at a corresponding position. In particular, it is conceivable that the dispenser is locked in a different position - for example by a mechanical lock. It is advantageous if the dispenser has at least one output device for tones and / or optical signals and / or tactile signals. Thus, the dispenser can remind the user by issuing signals, such as a vibration signal, that a tablet is due for use. It is conceivable that the timing and type of output signal is programmable.

The dispenser expediently has at least one communication unit, wherein the communication unit is in particular a wireless communication unit. Thus, for example, the donor can be externally configured and tell the attending physician whether the patient has taken his tablets at the right time. Further, this also allows a physician or other medical staff to access the donor to configure it according to the patient's therapy. It is also conceivable that such access via an app, for example, with a smartphone or the like can take place.

It is advantageous if the power supply is formed via a rechargeable energy store, wherein the energy store can be charged in particular via a wireless energy transmission, preferably an inductive energy transmission. This has the advantage that the dispenser can be charged quickly and easily, especially if a corresponding docking station is provided for the dispenser, on which this is placed or plugged.

The dispenser expediently has at least one subsequent second storage container, the second storage container having a driver, wherein the driver acts on the subsequent second storage container when the second storage container has performed a number of movements corresponding to the number of chambers of the second storage container. Thus, therefore, first the chambers of the first reservoir are emptied. The first reservoir then engages over its driver on the second reservoir and transmits the movement to this. As soon as all the chambers of the second storage container are emptied, the second storage container engages with its driver on the subsequent second storage container. The movement is then transferred via the second reservoir to the second subsequent reservoir. In this case, so then move on actuation of the actuator three Reservoir, namely the first reservoir, the second reservoir and the subsequent second reservoir. Of course, a plurality of subsequent second storage containers - for example three - may be provided, which are successively moved over the principle just described, so that the tablets are dispensed from the corresponding chambers.

In the figures. 1 to 5, a dispenser 1 for tablets T is shown with a main body 2, a dispensing opening 3 and an actuating device 4 arranged at the upper end of the dispenser 2. The dispenser 1 has an elongate cylindrical shape, wherein the dispensing opening 3 is arranged on a beak-shaped end portion 35 decentralized. In order to dispense a tablet T through the dispensing opening 3, the patient operates the Actuator 4. In this embodiment, the patient pushes the pressure element 19 designed as a push button along the longitudinal axis L of the dispenser 1 in the direction of the dispensing opening 3.

Within the dispenser 1, a plurality of storage containers 6, 7, 8 are received, which are partially visible through a viewing opening 34 of the base body 2. The reservoir 6, 7, 8 are all constructed the same and shown in Fig. 7 in more detail. The reservoirs 6, 7, 8 are substantially cylindrical in shape and have a lateral surface, a bottom 12 and a partially open top surface 13. The reservoir 6, 7, 8 are divided into individual pie-like chambers 9 for receiving the tablets T or segmented. In this embodiment, five chambers 9 are provided, in principle, the number of chambers is arbitrary, but is caused for example by the size of the tablets T and by the desired absorption capacity. The chambers 9 of the reservoirs 6, 7, 8 are preferably made of or coated with a soft material so as to minimize the rattling of the tablets T received therein as they are reciprocated in the chambers. For this purpose, in particular a suitably suitable plastic as a material into consideration.

As can be clearly seen from the upper figure in Fig. 7, the chambers 9 are separated by individual walls. Furthermore, the storage container has a recess 14, which is also constructed like a cake piece and is arranged in principle like a cut-out chamber. Furthermore, the storage containers 6, 7, 8 have a centered projection 17 on the top surface 13 and a centered recess 18 on the bottom 12. The recess 18 and the projection 17 are configured such that the reservoirs 6, 7, 8 are stackable, relative rotation of the individual reservoirs 6, 7, 8 relative to each other being possible (compare also FIGS. 1, 6 and FIG . 8th). Further, a latching element 28 is arranged on the lateral surface, which cooperates with corresponding counter-elements on the base body 2 (not shown).

The reservoir 6, 7, 8 have a substantially circumferential toothing 29 on the bottom 12, which is interrupted by the recess 14. Furthermore, each storage container 6, 7, 8 has a bottom-side driver 11 and a cover-surface-side stopper 10. As can be seen in Fig. 7, the driver 1 1 on the left side of the recess 14 is arranged, and the stop 10 on the right side. By the actuation of the actuating device 4, the first reservoir 6 closest to the actuating device 4 is rotated (see Fig. 6). With each actuation of the first reservoir 6 is rotated by an angle which substantially corresponds to the angle between two chambers 9. In this embodiment, with five chambers 9, this angle is therefore about 60 °. After the actuator 4 has been operated five times, the driver 1 1 of the first reservoir 6 abuts the stop 10 of the second reservoir 7 and transmits the rotational movement to this. Accordingly, the driver 11 of the second reservoir 7 strikes after another five actuation of the actuating device 4 on the stop 10 of the subsequent second reservoir 8 and then transmits the rotational movement also on this.

Subsequently, the placement of the dispenser 1 and the tablet output will now be described first. Subsequently, the actuator 4 will be discussed in more detail.

First, each of the chambers 9 of the reservoir 6, 7, 8 is fitted in chronological order with the corresponding tablets T. The chambers 9 of the first reservoir 6 are thus filled first, wherein first seen in the clockwise direction closest to the recess 14 lying chamber 9 is filled. Accordingly, the second reservoir

7 and the other reservoir 8 filled. The filled storage containers 6, 7,

8 are then stacked tower-like (see Fig. 8) by the second reservoir 7 is placed with its recess 18 on the projection 17 of the first reservoir 6. On the projection 17 of the second reservoir 7, a further (subsequent second) reservoir 8 is then placed with its recess 18. In this embodiment, seven storage containers 6, 7, 8 are stacked (see Fig. 6). The storage containers 6, 7, 8 are stacked on each other so that the recesses 14 of the individual reservoir 6, 7, 8 are aligned with each other, as shown in principle in the first figure in Fig. 8.

Subsequently, the stacked storage containers 6, 7, 8 are inserted into the dispenser 1. For this purpose, for example, the beak-shaped end portion 35 or - as in this embodiment - an upper housing part 22 are unscrewed from the base body 2. The stacked reservoir 6, 7, 8 are used in the main body 2 of the dispenser 1, that the recesses 14 are in direct communication with the discharge opening 3.

In order to prevent the tablets T from falling out of the storage containers 6, 7, 8, the dispenser 1 has a closure device 5. This closure device 5 is formed on the one hand from the bottoms 12 of the second reservoir 7 and the other reservoir 8. On the other hand, the closure device 5 is formed by a closure element 15 with an opening 16 (compare FIGS. 5 and 6). The closure element 15 is integrally formed on the dispenser 1 in this embodiment and separates the base body 2 from the beak-shaped end portion 35. The opening 16 of the closure element 15 is in direct communication with the dispensing opening 3 (see Fig. 5). The bottom 12 of a respective subsequent storage container 7, 8 closes the chambers 9 of the previous reservoir 6, 7, 8. The closure element 15 closes the chambers 9 of the last reservoir 8, ie the reservoir 8, which is the discharge opening 3 closest.

During the first actuation of the actuating device 4, the first reservoir 6 is rotated clockwise by approximately 60 °, so that the tablet T accommodated in the first chamber 9 passes through the recesses 14 of the following reservoirs 7, 8 and through the opening 16 of the closure element 5 the discharge port 3 is discharged. In the following four actuations of the actuator 4, the first reservoir 6 is again rotated in each case by about 60 °, and so brought the other chambers 9 in direct communication with the discharge port 3 for dispensing tablets T. Upon completion of the fifth movement of the first reservoir 6, the driver 11 abuts the stop 10 of the second reservoir 7, so that in the sixth actuation of the actuator 4, the first chamber 9 of the second reservoir 7 is brought into direct communication with the discharge port 3, as the first reservoir 6 and the second reservoir 7 now move together. Accordingly, then the other reservoir 8 are taken. These movements are shown schematically in FIG.

In order to allow movement of the first reservoir 6, the dispenser 1 has a manually operated actuator 4. The actuating device 4 comprises the pressure element 19, a cam element 20, an engagement element 21, the housing upper part 22 and a spring element 23. The cam element 20 and the engagement element 21 are non-rotatable with one another connected, for example via webs which engage in corresponding grooves. Between the cam member 20 and the engaging element 21, the spring element 23 is arranged, which is a spiral spring in this embodiment. The pressure element 19 is movably arranged in the upper housing part 22, for example via webs which are linearly guided along grooves. The upper housing part 22 has a plurality of cam surface 24, which are separated from each other by cuts 25 and extend along the inner circumference of the upper housing part 22 (see Fig .. 10). The number of cam surfaces 24 and cuts 24 is one higher than the number of chambers 9 of a reservoir 6, 7, 8, wherein the cam surfaces 24 and the cuts 25 are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction. In this embodiment, a reservoir 6, 7, 8 five chambers 9, so that the upper housing part 22 has six cam surfaces 24 and six cuts 25. The cam element 20 has at least one cam 26 in the form of a web, which can be received in the cuts 25. The pressure element 29 has at its end facing the cam element 20 a serrated portion 27, which is designed to be circumferential.

By pressing the pressure element 19, this moves along the longitudinal axis of the dispenser 1 and the main body 2 and pushes the cam member 20 in the direction of the engaging element 21. Here, the spring element 23 is tensioned and the cam 26 is brought out of engagement with the recess 25, in which the cam 26 was recorded. By the serrated portion 27 of the pressure element 19, the cam 26 is guided along the cam surface 24 in the clockwise direction in the direction of the next cut 25 and is received in this by relaxing the tensioned spring element 23. In this case, the cam member 20 is also rotated by about 60 ° and transmits its rotation to the engaging element 21. The engaging element 21 has at its lower end a toothing 30, which is in engagement with the toothing 29 of the first reservoir 6 and this also turns about 60 °. By the relaxation of the spring element 23, the pressure element 19 is also moved back to the starting position. Now, by further actuation of the pressure element 19 of the actuator 4, a further rotation of the first reservoir 6 and possibly the other reservoir 7, 8 take place. In order here to prevent a sudden movement of the first reservoir 6, which could occur due to the inertia of the spring element 23, engage the locking element 28 of the reservoir 6, 7, 8 in corresponding counter-element on the base body 2 (not shown). In order to prevent the pressure element 19 from being actuated by mistake, the dispenser 1 has a locking element 31 in the form of a circumferential ring. The locking element 31 has a plurality of locking teeth 32, which can engage in corresponding locking grooves 33. In order to move the locking teeth 32 in the locking grooves 33, the locking element 31 corresponding to the housing upper part 22 is rotated. If the locking teeth 32 are locked in the locking grooves 33, the pressure element 19 can not be actuated.
