Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the leak-tight sealing of openings in containers and for the purification of the ambient air located therein as a result of opening and closing cycles, said containers being intended for the packaging of products that are sensitive to gaseous pollutants present in the ambient air. The inventive device is particularly suitable for the packaging of solid-state medicaments in the form of pellets, tablets or capsules, having a reactivity and physical integrity that must be fully conserved.

Abstract: A device for dispensing oblong objects comprising: (i) a main dispensing opening for allowing the objects to be dispensed to pass therethrough one by one; (ii) at least one other opening of elongate shape, one of whose sides opens into the main dispensing opening, the elongate opening having an opening width equal to or greater than a minimum thickness of the object to be dispensed; and (iii) guide surfaces for guiding the objects to be dispensed. The guide surfaces lie along front sides of the elongate opening and face the objects to be dispensed, so as to collect and guide the objects toward at least one of the elongate openings.
