The present invention provides a tablet feeder in which a rotor can smoothly rotate to discharge tablets in spite of a large volume type of tablet containing case having a simple construction. A support portion 11 is provided in the tablets containing case 4 and positioned above at least one of the pocket portions 9 for preventing the weight of the tablets acting on the pocket portions 9 from resisting the rotation of the rotor 8.

A flexible circuit (28) containing the grid connectors of a digitizer tablet (10) converge in a transition region (48) disposed in an unshielded area. However, the positional inaccuracies that would otherwise result from the exposure of the non-parallel conductors to radiation from the tablet's stylus (24) are reduced because the flexible circuit (28) is kept in close proximity to a metal plate (32) throughout the transition region (48) in which the conductors depart from a parallel configuratio...

A tablet dispenser for dispensing a series of different pills over a prescribed period. The dispenser is provided with a daily indicator that can be present to begin the regimen on whatever day is selected. The tablet package when used up can be readily replaced with a new package and the indicator reset as desired.

A tablet having first and second surfaces opposite to each other and a side surface lying perpendicular to any one of the first and second surfaces. A peripheral tablet edge delimited between each of the first and second surfaces and the side surface is chamfered to provide a respective inclined peripheral edge face over the entire perimeter of the tablet. This tablet also has at least a first generally V-sectioned score defined in the first surface so as to leave two tablet divisions of uniform...

A tablet dispenser having a tablet ring rotatably mounted with respect to both the cover and the base, the cover and tablet ring being initially joined to permit joint rotational movement with respect to the base. The cover and tablet ring are rotated until a time reference indicator is registered with an indicia of time representing the day on which the first tablet is to be taken. The first tablet to be taken underlies the tablet access area of the cover when the cover and tablet ring are join...

This tablet dispenser includes four elements: a case, a tablet-receiving disc with a time indicator thereon, a calendar element disposed over the disc, and a clamp element for holding the disc and the calendar element in the case. The disc and the calendar element are each provided with a ratcheted shoulder, cooperating with pawls on the clamp element, which will allow the rotation of these two elements only in a direction opposite to one another.

A tablet for use in a toilet, urinal, or the like which has an ingredient a substance for increasing the decompositional rate of the waste material in a cesspool sewage system or the like.

A tablet dispenser has a sleeve and a magazine for holding the tablet stack. The magazine is guided in the sleeve and has an essentially U-shaped cross-section and a base connecting the limbs. For filling purposes, the magazine can be pushed partially out of the sleeve against the force of a spring arranged between the base of the magazine and a cup-like slide that is displaceable in the magazine and in the sleeve and acts as a plate spring. The slide is guided in the magazine to prevent complet...

A unique method and apparatus for dispensing tablets having particular application in the clinical analysis of biological samples. A series of containers are advanced past a plurality of processing stations, one of which is a table dispenser in turn. The processing stations are selectively activated by a controller. A sensor is associated with the tablet dispenser and is arranged to detect whether a tablet has actually entered a container. The sensor is activated only when the tablet dispenser i...

The tablet dispenser comprises a drawer, which is adapted to be extracted into engagement with a stop from one end of a tubular protective housing and in its extracted position is adapted to be supplied with a columnlike stack of tablets. The tablets can be advanced as far as to an ejector, which is mounted on that portion of the drawer which protrudes from the protective housing. The ejector is operable to eject each tablet transversely to the longitudinal direction of the stack while the table...
