Abstract

A tablet dispenser having a housing with a cover and base part that can be placed therein, and having an axially movable sliding part that is set through the housing, which dispenses one individual tablet respectively from a heap of tablets upon actuation by finger pressure on a button. The opening of a seal is avoided, and, after the removal of the individual tablet, the dispenser can be hermetically closed again without difficulty and without the contamination of further tablets. Specifically, this is achieved in that the sliding part has in the upper region an actuating bar connected to the cover, and in that the cover acts as a resilient resetting element, and in that the sliding part comprises in the lower region an allocating element, pushable through rotationally selectable openable passage in the base part and so as to be able to receive one tablet respectively, and in that the base part comprises a rotating seal.
