<p>A tablet dispenser for dispensing a solid tablet or a predetermined number of tablets of a substantially uniform size from a storage area containinga relatively large number of tablets into a dispensing orifice upon operation ofan external actuating mechanism. The tablet dispenser comprises a hollow body having an upper portion for storing the relatively large number of tablets and alower base portion having the dispensing orifice formed in its bottom. A gate member is mounted for reciprocal movement above the tablet dispensing orifice and has a tablet receiving area formed therein. A field organizing member is mounted for reciprocal movement below the tablet storage portion and above the gate member and has a tablet receiving area formed therein which communicates with the tablet storage portion. A means interconnects the gate member and organizing member, this interconnecting means causing them to reciprocate in directions opposite each other whereby the gate member may be reciprocated from a tablet dispense position, wherein its tablet receiving area is in communication with the tablet dispensing orifice, to a tablet receiving position wherein its tablet receiving area is in communication with the tablet receiving area of the organizing member. An actuating means is further included for causing reciprocal movement of the gate member and organizing member in response to the operation of the external actuating mechanism.</p> |
