[Object] To achieve a compact construction while making it possible to dispense a medicine certainly one by one.

[Solution] A medicine dispensing unit 7 for dispensing a medicine retained is disposed. The medicine dispensing unit comprises a first rotator 24 having a circular face rotatably disposed at a slant state to a horizontal plane; a second rotator 25 having a ring face rotatably disposed over the horizontal plane at an outer peripheral side of the first rotator 24; and a guide member 28 having a guide face, the guide face being disposed above the circular face of the first rotator 24 while extending radially with respect to the circular face, being positioned at a downstream side in a rotational direction of the first rotator 24 towards a periphery in a radial direction, and being capable of contacting with the medicine placed on the first rotator 24 due to rotation of the first rotator 24.

A device for sequentially dispensing individual objects includes a housing having a first housing portion which is conically-shaped. The first housing portion has a first end proximate a supply of objects and a second end proximate a location where the objects are to be dispensed. There is a spiral race, disposed on an interior surface of the first housing portion and extending from the first end to the second end of the first housing portion, along which the objects to be dispensed travel.

An insert used in conjunction with a pill container consisting of a circular alignment plate or dialer and base. The alignment plate contains a plurality of opening of various sizes and shapes. The circular base contains one opening, preferably equal in size and shape to the largest opening on the alignment plate or dialer. The two components are connected at the center point so that the dialer or alignment plate may rotate to align one of the openings on the alignment plate with the opening of the base. The alignment of the openings allows the user to control, limit or restrict the dispensing of pills located in the container while also providing addition safeguards.

A device and a method for singularized dosing of solid portions F, in particular mini or micro tablets or globules, which solid portions are forming a bulk body S situated at least partially in the device. The device comprises at least two components, a first component of which is a segregating device and a second component of which is a singularizing device that can be twisted vis-à-vis the segregating device. The singularizing device comprises an interior area and on its inner side at least one chamber for accommodating one solid portion F at a time, so that the at least one chamber can be moved in a direction of motion D and on a motion path B through the bulk body S during twisting of the singularizing device vis-à-vis the segregating device. The segregating device further comprises a separating device to prevent solid portions F contained therein drop out.

A combination medicine container and dispenser allows a user to select one of a plurality of medicament compartments to selectively dispense a single medicament of the medicaments held in the container at a time through easy manipulation of a selectively locking dispensing means. A rotating dispensary at a bottom of the bottle allows rotation of the dispensary relative to the bottle structure(s) for transfer of a single medicament from the bottle to the dispensary, and out of the bottle. The dispensary has several compartments, each dimensioned for a differently sized medicament to dispense medicaments of different sizes from the bottle. An insert has removable segments corresponding to the compartments of the dispensary providing selection of medicament dispensing compartment.

The invention relates to a container for a plurality of goods to be packaged (28), comprising a container body (2) which forms a receiving space (13) for the goods to be packaged (28), a dispenser (30) for dispensing goods to be packaged (28), and comprising a holding device (12) for fixing the goods to be packaged (28) in the receiving space (13). The container is characterized in that the holding device (12) can assume an open position, in which at least one of the goods to be packaged (28) can be moved from the receiving space (13) into the dispenser (30), and a closed position, in which the goods to be packaged (28) are fixed in the receiving space (13), and in that an actuating device (18) is provided, in order to move the holding device (12) to the open position.

A pill case (100) includes a pocket (9) which receives one pill (10) from an accommodation unit (8) in which a plurality of pills (10) are accommodated, and an extraction port (11) for ejecting the pill (10) in the pocket (9) to the outside. The pill case (100) includes a manipulation unit (for example, pill ejection button (4) and pill tray (5)) which converts a state in which the pill (10) in the pocket (9) cannot be ejected through the extraction port (11) to a state in which the pill (10) in the pocket (9) can be ejected through the extraction port (11) by being manipulated by a user. The pill case (100) includes a moving unit which is moved by indirectly or directly receiving a pressure from the pill (10) in the pocket (9) according to the moving manipulation to the manipulation unit, and a detection unit which detects that the moving unit is moved up to a position of the moving unit which corresponds to a state in which the pill (10) in the pocket (9) can be ejected.

A measuring container comprises a storage container and a storage section selector. The storage container includes storage sections each capable of storing a predetermined number of tablets. The storage section selector is attached to the storage container and has a second path that allows the tablets to pass through from one end to an other end. The one end of the second path is connected to an outside, and the other end is selectively connected to one of the storage sections.
