J., 939, London Road, Thornton Heath, Surrey. Oct. 2, 1930, Nos. 29513/30 and 21807/31. [Class 18.] A delivery apparatus for disc-like tablets in which the tablets are delivered into a tumbler &c. without being touched by hand, e.g. for dentists' use, consists of a magazine a, Fig. 1, of flattened tubular form in which the tablets are piled edgewise in contact, if desired in a celluloid carton c. They are delivered singly through an outlet m by pressing a spring-controlled plunger i having a chamber in which a tablet is carried along. In an alternative form a number of piles of tablets are contained in a magazine having a glass, mica or like cover w, Fig. 4, and of such construction that tablets thrown in at the top will pass edgewise into vertical slots. It is mounted on a rotatable disc t apertured beneath each of the piles, and kept in required position by a spring-pressed ball or plunger 7. A semicircular segment .5 rotated by a handle 6 is movable to allow one tablet to fall through an aperture z while supporting the pile above. In another form a plate 11, Fig. 8, sliding on a bracket 12 is arranged so that any aperture 13 may be brought beneath a delivery chamber 14 containing a tablet while the pile above is supported by two prongs 16. |
