Abstract

A container for the dispensing of tablets one by one in which, below a drop-out chamber arranged below a sorting trough the container wall has a tablet drop-out opening in front of which, in each case, one of the tablets is released by spring-loaded sliding movement so as to drop out. Two housing caps supplement each other to form the container and can be telescopically inserted one within the other, one of the housing caps forming the drop-out chamber below the sorting trough which is formed by the two housing caps together, the drop-out opening of the chamber being closed in the relaxed position of the spring by a wall section of the other housing cap, the last-mentioned housing cap having a division finger which in the pushed-together position of the two housing caps closes off the sorting trough from the drop-out chamber.
