Abstract (en)

[origin: US5080258A] A tablet dispenser comprises a tubular housing for a drawer, which has a side wall opening through which a stack of tablets can be inserted into the drawer. A pusher is guided in the drawer and has at least one stop, which cooperates with a counterstop of the housing. A compression spring is supported on the bottom of the drawer and on the pusher and by means of the pusher pushes the tablets to the top end of the drawer. An ejector for individually ejecting the tablets is provided adjacent to said top end. Besides, the spring pushes the drawer to its retracted position in the housing. The stop or stops of the pusher is or are adapted to be forced into the housing through the open top end thereof with an elastic deformation of said stop or stops or of the pusher so that the stop or stops will be able to resiliently snap into grooves which are formed in the housing and closed near its open top end.
