  • Apparatus for the periodic and controlled dispensing of tablets such as chlorine pellets
    Patent number: 5078299
    Abstract: Apparatus for dispensing chlorine pellets and the like into a well or other liquid container. The apparatus comprises a hollow cylindrical body having a grooved passageway therein and further having an end plate with a gate opening therein communicating with the passageway. The gate opening has a cross sectional dimension which is greater than that of the diameter of a single chlorine pellet, but smaller than that of two chlorine pellets, thereby allowing the removal of a single chlorine pellet from the gate opening once during each 360.degree. rotation of the cylindrical body. This motion further causes the next-in-line pellet to drop back into the cylindrical body once each such rotation thereof. A removable cap is mounted at the other end of the cylindrical body and is used for loading pellets into the cylindrical body.
