Abstract
Abstract A pocket container for reception and individual removal of filling goods consisting of tablets, candies, or the like, piled up in the container, which comprises a container member constituting a geometrical cylinder defining and surrounding a chamber for filling goods within the container member and having an opening for removal of filling goods and a follower spring pushes the filling goods in direction of the opening. A drop cover is disposed on top of the container member and includes means for sliding the uppermost of the filling goods from the opening upon lifting the drop cover. The drop cover is mounted about a geometrical swinging axis projecting through the geometrical cylinder, the geometrical swinging axis being disposed perpendicular to the axial direction of the geometrical cylinder. The drop cover has on its inside an abutment face between the swinging axis and a wall opposite from the opening, and the abutment face is adapted to engage the uppermost of the filling goods by the pressure of the follower spring in case the drop cover is in its closed or extensively closed position, and the pressure exerted on the abutment face tends to urge the drop cover into its closed position.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
197 words
A pocket container for reception and individual removal of filling goods consisting of tablets, candies, or the like, piled up in the container, comprising: a container member constituting a geometrical cylinder defining and surrounding a chamber for filling goods within said container member and having an opening for removal of filling goods; a follower spring pushing said filling goods in direction of said opening; a drop cover disposed on top of said container member and including means for sliding the uppermost of said filling goods from said opening upon lifting said drop cover; said drop cover being mounted about a geometrical swinging axis projecting through said geometrical cylinder, said geometrical swinging axis being disposed perpendicular to the axial direction of said geometrical cylinder; and said drop cover having on its inside an abutment face between said swinging axis and a wall opposite from said opening, and said abutment face being adapted to engage the uppermost of said filling goods by the pressure of said follower spring in case said drop cover is in its closed or extensively closed position, and the pressure exerted on said abutment face tending to urge said drop cover into its closed position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
197 words
A pocket container for reception and individual removal of filling goods consisting of tablets, candies, or the like, piled up in the container, comprising: a container member constituting a geometrical cylinder defining and surrounding a chamber for filling goods within said container member and having an opening for removal of filling goods; a follower spring pushing said filling goods in direction of said opening; a drop cover disposed on top of said container member and including means for sliding the uppermost of said filling goods from said opening upon lifting said drop cover; said drop cover being mounted about a geometrical swinging axis projecting through said geometrical cylinder, said geometrical swinging axis being disposed perpendicular to the axial direction of said geometrical cylinder; and said drop cover having on its inside an abutment face between said swinging axis and a wall opposite from said opening, and said abutment face being adapted to engage the uppermost of said filling goods by the pressure of said follower spring in case said drop cover is in its closed or extensively closed position, and the pressure exerted on said abutment face tending to urge said drop cover into its closed position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The pocket container, as set forth in claim 1, wherein said abutment face extends obliquely upwardly from said swinging axis to said wall of said drop cover opposite from said opening.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
49 words
The pocket container, as set froth forth in claim 1, wherein: said drop cover has an edge and face, respectively, sliding out the uppermost of said filling goods from said opening, and said abutment face is disposed at a higher level than that oF said edge and face, respectively.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
The pocket container, as set forth in claim 1, wherein the inside of the walls of said container member has abutment means disposed higher than said abutment face on said drop cover.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
The pocket container, as set forth in claim 4, wherein said abutment means of said container member are elastically outwardly pressable.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
44 words
The pocket container as set forth in claim 5, wherein: the walls of said container member are formed elastically at the point of said swinging axis of said drop cover; and said swinging axis is defined by axle stumps provided on said drop cover.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
121 words
The pocket container, as set forth in claim 1, which includes a pistonlike pressure member between said follower spring and said filling goods; said pressure member being displaceable into the position assumed normally by the uppermost of said filling goods and being higher than that of said filling goods, so that said pressure member is not slidable through said opening in its uppermost position and prevents an opening of said drop cover; said container member is formed as an at least operationally one part cup at the opening of which said drop cover is arranged, so that no filling goods can be inserted through said closed drop cover; and said drop cover is mounted in the walls of said container member.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
35 words
The pocket container, as set forth in claim 7, wherein said abutment means are inclined at their upper face and at their lower face; and said upper face is formed steeper than their lower face.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
51 words
The pocket container, as set forth in claim 8, wherein said lower face of said abutment means extends obliquely inward upwardly at an angle of about 30* to the horizontal and the upper face of said abutment means extends obliquely inward downwardly at an angle of about 30* to the vertical.
