A storage container for a storage and dispensing station for drugs is provided. The storage container includes a housing surrounding a holding space which housing has a guide section and a bottom surface, the guide section defining a guide space and having a vertical guide recess, which does not penetrate the housing, and the bottom surface having a dispensing opening. The storage container includes a separating device having at least one channel for holding at least one drug portion and comprises a retaining element having a retaining section and having a guide element, which is arranged in the guide recess, the vertical guide recess and the guide element interacting in such a way that the retaining element is arranged for height adjustment in the guide recess by means of the guide element and rotational motion of the retaining means is prevented.

A dispenser head (100) for dispensing a unit (C) of a pharmaceutical drug or a food supplement or food is provided, said dispenser head (100) comprising: a dosing duct (102) extending along a dosing axis (104) and connecting an inlet port (106) for receiving the unit (C) from a reservoir (11) with an outlet port (108) for dispensing the unit (C); a support section (130) for the unit (C), which extends from the exit port (108) parallel to the dosing axis (104); and a retention section (110), which extends from the support section (130).

The present invention relates to improved contact lens packages and methods of use and manufacture/assembly. A contact lens package houses a contact lens and packaging solution and is configured to lift the contact lens out of the packaging solution when force is applied to a lever of the package and/or when the package is squeezed by the user.

A dispensing system (2) and method for dispensing unit dosage forms (38) from a blister pack (30) is disclosed. The system (2) comprises a housing (4) for receiving a blister pack (30), the blister pack (30) having a plurality of cavities (32) with at least one unit dosage form (38) sealed in each of the cavities (32), the housing (4) comprising at least one housing aperture. The system (2) also comprises a sensing layer comprising a plurality of apertures, each sensing layer aperture configured to substantially align with a corresponding one or more of the plurality of cavities (32) of the blister pack (30) when a blister pack (30) is received in the housing (4) and at least one sensing region. The system (2) further comprises an electronics unit and a power source for providing voltage to the sensing layer. In use, the unit dosage forms (38) are dispensed from the blister pack (30) through the sensing layer apertures and through the at least one housing aperture, for example by application of pressure (P) upon each cavity (32), and the sensing layer senses each unit dosage form (38) being dispensed from the blister pack (30).

A storage case includes a storage space in which a component is to be accommodated, and is attached to a feeder to supply the component to a mounting device, the storage case includes a component takeout port in a side wall and extending in a vertical direction when the storage case is attached to the feeder, and an inclined surface within the storage space and extending to a lower edge of the component takeout port, which is at a bottom of the component takeout port when the storage case is attached to the feeder.

Described herein are methods and systems for automated dispensing of individual medicament portions. The systems can include a housing that encloses a receiving space having a bottom surface. A separation device may be provided and arranged on the bottom surface with at least one channel to receive at least one medicament portion. At least one channel may have an opening facing the receiving space and an opening facing the bottom surface. The opening facing the bottom surface may be associated with a contact area on the bottom surface, over which contact area the medicament portions may be guided upon a movement of separation device. At least one recess may be arranged in the bottom surface outside of the contact area to receive contamination particles present in the container.

The present invention generally relates to a dispensing closure, method of using and making the same that can be filled with a material to be dispensed into a container and more particularly to a dispensing bottle cap that can be operated so the material inside would dispense into the container for mixing with liquid in the container while the container remains sealed. The Bottle cap then can be removed as one unit to open the container.

A slide-open dispenser package for loose articles including: a container for containing a plurality of loose articles, in which the container includes a bottom wall and an article dispensing outlet opening made in the bottom wall; a wrapper on the outside of the container and slidably coupled thereto along a sliding direction orthogonal to the bottom wall; at least one occluding element for occluding the outlet opening, in which the occluding element is movable between a closed configuration, in which it prevents the articles from coming out of the opening, and an open configuration, in which it allows at least one article to come out through the outlet opening. The occluding element is fixed to the container and to the wrapper so that the reciprocal sliding of the wrapper and the container causes the occluding element to move between the closed configuration and the open configuration.

A child proof container includes an outer shell defining an opening. An internal cartridge defines first and second storage cavities. The internal cartridge is slidable within the outer shell between an inserted position and a withdrawn position. A first cover is hingedly attached to the internal cartridge by a first hinge. The first cover pivots about the first hinge between a closed position for covering the first storage cavity and an open position for providing access to the first storage cavity. The first cover is attached to the internal cartridge such that the first cover cannot pivot to the open position until the internal cartridge is in the withdrawn position.
