ABSTRACT:
A programmable machine for dispensing items, such as pills or capsules, in timed sequence has a cylindrical container element provided with a series of item receiving and dispensing compartments extending spirally therealong and opening into its circumferential surface for alignment with a discharge opening in a stationary cylindrical shell within which the container element is mounted for both rotary and axial movement concentrically over and along a microprocessor controlled, stepper motor, so as to sequentially bring the individual compartments into precise alignment with the discharge opening of the shell to discharge their contents into a delivery tray. The container element is mounted for spiral movement on and along a stationary spiral trackway as it is rotated. The compartments may be filled by turning the machine upside down and inserting items through the discharge opening.
