ABSTRACT:
Mechanism for dispensing medication or other items in timed sequence over an extended period of time has a programmable, electronic, information storage and control system monitored by sensors associated with item delivery parts of the mechanism. The mechanism comprises individual cylinders provided with corresponding circles of item-receiving compartments and stacked on and keyed to a column of individual blocks that are affixed against relative axial movement but are independently rotatable on a shaft that is itself axially movable to determine from which cylinder dispensing shall take place. Through-openings in the respective cylinders are adapted to be aligned as a chute for compartment filling and dispensing purposes. The block and shaft arrangement is useful in other types of mechanism and is considered as a subcombination of the overall invention.
