Abstract
A dispenser for shaped solids, in particular for tablets and pills of very small format, is described. In a cylindrical housing, a dosing device is inserted between a stock container and a collecting chamber, part of the dosing device being rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the housing. The dosing device consists of three parts, i.e. (a) a cylindrical ring part from whose inner wall a lug projects radially, (b) a dosing wheel which can be inserted into the ring part and rotated about the longitudinal axis of the housing, and (c) a base part which can be inserted into the dosing wheel. The dosing wheel has a perforated plate with dosing orifices arranged in the peripheral region. A rim projects at right angles from the peripheral edge of the perforated plate, locking notches assigned to the dosing orifices being provided on the inner wall of the rim. The base part is inserted into the rim of the dosing wheel and is provided with an ejection hole for the tablet or pill to be dispensed.
