Abstract

A dispenser for dispensing a product in use from a blister pack (200) of the type comprising a support member defining a plurality of pockets (204) arranged in a circle around a blister pack axis, and a cover sheet provided on a dispensing side of said blister pack having rupturable portions which close each of said pockets, comprises a housing (208, 210), and a hub (206) for locating in use a blister pack for rotation within said housing (208, 210). A dispensing window (236) is disposed in said housing (208, 210) such that in use a blister pack (200) may be rotated to bring each pocket of a blister pack into registration therewith to allow ejection of the contents. The dispenser is arranged such that, following a dispensing operation rotation of the blister pack to bring the next pocket into registration with the dispensing window is restricted or inhibited by child-resistant means..
