The invention relates to multilayer tablets which are constructed of two, three or more layers, one layer containing probiotic microorganisms, while the other layers contain foodstuff ingredients valuable in nutritional physiology, such as vitamins, minerals, etc. The tablets are distinguished by a high stability or activity over a long period with respect to the microorganisms used and are thus very well suited for keeping in storage.

The invention pertains to a tablet dispenser for distributing tablets in individual portions. The tablet dispenser described in the invention comprises a prismatic enclosure (29), the bottom face (22) of which presents an aperture (21) offset relative to a front face (36), the top face of which is open in its whole cross-section, and the side faces (34, 35) of which have a recess (29) on top. The described dispenser also comprises an internal component (10) with limited displacement, nested into...

Detergent tablets containing a compressed portion and a non-compressed portion wherein: a) the compressed portion comprises compressed detergent components and a cavity extending from a first exterior surface of the compressed portion to a second exterior surface of the compressed portion; and b) the non-compressed portion is retained within said cavity. The non-compressed portion preferably dissolves at a faster rate than the compressed portion. A process for preparing the detergent tablet is a...

The present invention relates to a dispenser for tablets, comprising a drawer element having a through going opening for the accommodation of just one tablet, which drawer element may be displaced along a narrow sidewall of a box shaped housing. A partition parallel with said sidewall bars the inlet of the opening when the dispenser is operated, and an opening serves as a dispensing opening when the drawer is displaced to align its through-going opening with the dispensing opening. The ends of t...

A tablet dispenser comprises a tubular protective housing, from which a stack of tablets can be pushed. Lateral guides for the top tablet of said stack are provided in the working range of an ejector. Said lateral guides are constituted by side walls, which have side wall extensions, which are provided with outwardly directed pivot pins, which have been snap-fitted into bearing bores of the ejector when said side wall extensions have resiliently been deflected. The tablet dispenser comprises a U...

A tablet encapsulator deposits a predetermined number of tablets into each of a plurality of hard gelatin capsules. A tablet holding block has second guide holes for holding the predetermined number of tablets. A tablet carrier is reciprocated for a number of times equal to the predetermined number of tablets during a capsule filling sequence so that with each reciprocation, each of the second guide holes receives a single tablet until the predetermined number of tablets is received in each of t...

An apparatus for measuring the capacitance of tablets of varying shapes and sizes by conveying the tablets along a curved path which includes a zone of travel between the plates of a capacitive sensing device. The tablets are conveyed in a relatively fixed orientation by constructing a guide channel including a fixedly-positioned curved guide spaced away from a rotatable disk, and wherein a resilient clamp is provided above the guide channel so as to compress the tablet against the rotatable dis...

A tablet dispenser comprises a tubular protective housing that has a guide shaft provided with longitudinal tracks for tablets that can be inserted in the form of a columnlike stack. A pressure-loaded ram for one end of the stack of tablets, feeds the tablets along the longitudinal tracks to an ejector that engages the stack adjacent to its other end, by which the tablets, which are guided between lateral guides adjacent to the ejector, can individually be displaced transversely to the longitudi...

The invention relates to a tablet dispenser, including a dispenser housing, a replaceable tablet package to be accommodated in the housing, an adjustable periodicity indicator and a single tablet dispensing aperture in the dispenser cover. The tablet package includes a cover, rotatably connected to the bottom portion of the package and provided with an opening which, upon use of the dispenser, is in alignment with the tablet dispensing aperture. The dispenser further includes a locking device to...

A foldable one-piece tablet stand comprising a base section, a back rest section which can be raised and lowered into the base section, a pair of protrusions which can be raised and lowered into the base and disposed at a front part of the base section so that when both the back rest section and protrusions are in the raised conditions, a tablet will be held by the back rest section with a bottom of the tablet held by the base section and secured by the pair of protrusions, and a holder section ...
