A magazine (3) for a tablet dispenser (1) for receiving and sequentially dispensing tablets (T) consists of a housing (4) which is substantially cuboid and is open on the longitudinal side (5), receives a longitudinally guided slider (6) and a helical spring (8) supported between the slider (6) and the housing floor (7) and comprises an output device (10) at the housing head (9) which is opposite of the housing floor (7), with the helical spring (8) engaging with its floor-side end (11) of the winding in a clamping gap (12) in the region of the floor of the housing. In order to ensure a secure hold of the helical spring (8) within the housing, the width (w) of the clamping gap (12) formed between the housing floor (7) and a projecting wall (13) disposed upstream of the same is dimensioned larger than twice the diameter (d) of the spring wire and smaller than the winding distance (a) or an integral multiple of the winding distance (a) of the unloaded helical spring (8), and the helical spring (8) is inserted into the clamping gap (12) with a winding end (11) aligned towards the open longitudinal side (5) of the housing. |
