A container for a plurality of articles comprising a main body, a hollow member fixedly coupled to an end of the main body, a cup member rotatably coupled to the hollow member, and a cam arm received within the hollow member and the cup member. The hollow member and the cup member define a dispensing opening. The cup member comprises a base portion defining a grooved track facing the end of the main body. The cam arm is configured to engage a bottom article from the plurality of articles and comprises a protrusion movably engaged with the grooved track. The cam arm moves relative to the hollow member, due to a relative rotation between the hollow member and the cup member, to a dispensing position in which the bottom article at least partially extends through the dispensing opening and is removable from the container.

A method for distribution of supports impregnated with antibiotics includes a step of positioning of a plurality of tubular containers, each one containing a plurality of supports impregnated with antibiotics and stacked, in a corresponding plurality of seats of a dispenser. Extraction of at least a first support from a first container is performed using an extractor, the step of extraction being performed in correspondence of an upper end of the first container and comprising a movement of the first support between a first position inside of the first container and a second position extracted from the first container, said first position and said second position lying substantially in correspondence of an upper surface of the dispenser. Collection of the first support from the second position is performed using a collector. Transportation of the first support towards a culture plate by the collector is performed.

A container for a plurality of articles comprising a main body, a hollow member fixedly coupled to an end of the main body and a cup member movably coupled to the hollow member. When the cup member is in an open position the cup member and the hollow member are spaced defining an opening. A slider is movably coupled to the cup member. The slider has a spring, such that when the slider is moved relative to the cup member in a radial direction the slider carries an article towards the opening and the spring on the slider is flexed. After dispensing, the spring gradually relaxes, resetting the slider.

A device for storing and dispensing food items for a customizable nutrition supply is provided. The food items are loaded by the user, allowing customization of nutritional content and sequence. The device may be portable and operated with one hand, and is sufficiently sealed to store the food items securely, away from air, dust, and moisture. When the device is operated by being opened or triggered, it dispenses the next food item, so that the user may dispense the food item directly into the user's mouth. The device then closes or is closed.

A device for dispensing consumables includes a housing, a drawer, a cap, a latch, and a tooth. The housing may define a volume. The drawer defines a cavity and may be disposed in the volume. The cap may be along the housing. The latch may be securable to hold the cap in a closed position enclosing the volume. In response to a force exceeding a threshold force on the latch, the cap may be movable from the closed position to an open position exposing the volume. The tooth may be mechanically coupled to the latch and, in response to the force exceeding the threshold force on the latch, the tooth may movable in the cavity in a direction directing a consumable unit out of the volume with the cap in the open position.

A dispenser for dispensing solid or semi-solid vaporizable consumables to a vaporizer includes a first store for storing at least one solid or semi-solid vaporizable consumable therein, and a first lid. The first store includes an opening for dispensing a solid or semi-solid vaporizable consumable therethrough, and the first lid is arranged such that it closes the opening in the first store when in a closed position. Further, the dispenser is arranged such that, in use, engaging a vaporizer with the dispenser loads a heating chamber in the vaporizer with a solid or semi-solid vaporizable consumable stored within the first store by aligning the opening in the first store with an opening in the heating chamber.

A tablet dispensing device, comprising: a tubular container body including two extremities, a tubular side wall in between, the tubular side wall defining an internal dispensing space capable of receiving a tablet to be dispensed, and a tablet dispensing opening formed on the tubular side wall; a sleeve configured to slide longitudinally over the tubular side wall and between the two extremities, between a first position, in which the sleeve covers in an airtight manner the tablet dispensing opening, and a second position, in which the sleeve uncovers the tablet dispensing opening. This device is an improved device for the distribution of tablets.
