A tablet dispenser is provided in which both the calendar element and tablet element are hollow cylinders. The tablet element is both slidably and rotatably mounted within the calendar element. Indicia identifying days of the week are disposed on the surface of the calendar element adjacent its interface with the tablet element. The tablets are aligned in a series of axially oriented columns disposed circumferentially around the tablet element. In use, the tablet element is rotated with respect ...

A tablet dispenser for a pill bottle. The dispenser has a cylindrical body which fits into the open neck of the bottle and defines an axially extending passage of such size that only one tablet or pill can pass through. There is a gravity actuated retainer which slides across the passage when the bottle is tipped. A part of the retainer is accessible so that it can be manually held in non-obstructing position.

A dispenser for solid dosage form pharmaceutical preparations which are administered on a regular chronologic schedule. Typically, the dispenser is used for the storage and dispensing of oral contraceptive drugs. The dispenser comprises a base disk having a plurality of circumferentially spaced tablet dispenser apertures, an intermediate table disk, having a corresponding plurality of frangible tablet receptacles, and an overlying locator disk. The locator disk also has a corresponding plurality...

A machine cleaner tablet comprising from about 10 to about 75% of a limescale remover acid, from about 1 to about 20% of low foaming non-ionic surfactant, from about 0.5 to about 5% of a detergency enzyme and wherein the tablet has a pH measured as a 1% solution in distilled water at 20.degree. C. in the range from about 1 to about 5. The tablet is used for cleaning the interior of automatic dishwashers, food processing machines and the like.

The present invention relates to water soluble tablet coatings prepared from water soluble, partially and completely neutralized acrylic polymers and at least one film modifying agent.

A tablet feed having a drive transmission composed of a drive gear 7 that is interlocked with the rotating shaft of a motor 6, a driven gear 13 that is interlocked with a rotor 9, and an intermediate gear 14 made up of a first gear section 15 that gears with the drive gear 7 and a second gear section 16 that gears with the driven gear 13. At least a gear ratio of the second gear section 16 to the first gear section 15 of the intermediate gear 14 is made small so as to prevent tablets in other po...

A digitizing tablet that can control the vibration of an operation panel or a support substrate is disclosed. A piezoelectric substrate having a pair of drive electrodes fixed to the front and rear surfaces of the piezoelectric substrate is fixed directly or via one of the drive electrodes to the operation panel or the support substrate. A drive voltage is applied to the pair of drive electrodes after an input as been detected, and the drive voltage causes the expandable piezoelectric substrate ...

Disclosed is a non-sustained release pharmaceutical tablet composition which comprises a rapidly precipitating drug in an amount from about 5 to about 60% and at least one member selected from the group consisting of a binder in an amount of from about 2 to about 25% and a superdisintegrant in an amount from about 6 to about 40% where the rapidly precipitating drug, "binder" and superdisintegrant are mixed and compressed into a tablet without heating, solvent or grinding.

A digitizer tablet providing accurate two-dimensional coordinate location of the position of a cursor over the entire surface of the tablet. The position values are derived from sequential pulse signals eminating from a grid matrix within the plane of the tablet and received by a magnetic pickup within the cursor body. The grid matrix is energized with signal pulses and arranged in a predistorted manner to extend the useful area of the tablet to include the edge of the grid matrix. Furthermore, ...

A dispenser of dispensing tabets one at a time has a reservoir, a chamber below the reservoir in which the tablets are arranged in a single layer and a dispensing passageway which leads to a dispensing orifice. The passageway is of such a width that a single column of tablets can be accommodated. The passageway is defined by portions of a moving slider member and can be moved from a non-dispensing position to a dispensing position. In this latter position the lowermost tablet is dispensed wherea...
