Zusammenfassung: | A dosing device or system comprises a container 12 for storing the plurality of tablets with an exit port 14; an outlet for delivering the one or more tablets from the container into the automatic washing machine; a metering mechanism located between the exit port 14 of the container and the outlet, wherein the metering mechanism comprises a wheel 66 which is rotatable between a first position, in which the one or more tablets are receivable from the exit port 14 and a second position in which the one or more tablets are deliverable to the outlet; and a housing 22 defining a cylindrical space in which the wheel 66 is positioned. The cylindrical space comprises a longitudinal axis and the cylindrical space of the housing 22 comprises an inlet opening 25 extending in a first direction for receiving the one or more tablets from the exit port 14, and an output opening 28 for delivering the one or outlet. The rotation axis of the wheel 66 is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis and the rotation axis of the wheel is substantially transverse the first direction wherein the separation S1 between the wheel 66 and the inlet opening 25 is maximised when the wheel is in the first position and the separation S2 between the wheel 66 and the output opening 28 is maximised when the wheel 66 is in the second position. |
