Abstract (en)
A dispensing device (10), for example for pills, tablets or capsules containing medicament, comprises a store part (11) and an operating part (12). When these are brought into engagement a rib (22) on part (12) enters a narrow recess (34) in part (11) and slidably moves operating member (33) to allow an object (40) to pass through outlet aperture (31) from store (11) and fall into receiving zone (20) in part (12). The member (33) blocks further dispensing until the parts have been separated and re-engaged. The movement of member (33) disturbs the objects to assist in orienting them for entry into an assembly channel (37) leading to aperture (31). An embodiment with a rotary operating member is described, <IMAGE>
