Abstract (en)
A tablet dispenser is disclosed comprising an elongate hollow member (1) defining a chamber open at one end for holding a stack of tablets (5); releasable restraining means (12) adapted normally to prevent passage of a tablet from the opening of the chamber; a body member (6) axially rotatable relative to the hollow member; and a piston (3) actuated to move along the chamber towards the opening by the relative rotational movement of the hollow and body members so that when the chamber contains a stack of tablets, one tablet at a time can be dispensed past the restraining means. The dispenser may also comprise indicia (17) for relating the periodicity or number of tablet dispensation to the relative movement of the hollow and body members, with the proviso that when the indicia are absent then the piston lies wholly within the chamber.
