- the portion of the posture correction section that supports the tablet does not necessarily need to be in point contact, but may be in surface contact.
- the tablets in the tablet supply shuttle do not have to be in a vertically stacked state. For example, you may use a horizontal type tablet supply shuttle.
- the form of the tablet is not limited to the tablet used in the embodiment. Therefore, the tablet may be non-circular or square, for example, having a square or diamond-shaped corner, or may be circular. It may be a capsule tablet. For example, in the case of a non-circular tablet having a corner, the tablet may have a sharpened corner and a rounded corner to prevent the tablet from being damaged. It is better to do it.
- the mechanism for sucking and holding the tablet 1 is provided in the posture correcting section 3 b of the accommodation recess 3 of the rotary drum 2, but the tablet whose posture has been corrected can be held. If such a configuration is provided, the suction and holding mechanism may be omitted.
- the tablet supply shutter 5 is provided downstream of the apex of the mouth dolly 2, and the tablet supply is provided downstream of the apex (FIG. 1, left).
- a tablet supply shuttle may be set upstream from the top of the rotary dram 2 (right side in Fig. 1).
- the accommodation recess provided in the ram is formed such that the posture correcting portion is disposed upstream of the tablet receiving portion in the rotation direction of the mouth dome. For this reason, when a tablet is received from the tablet supply shot into the tablet receiving portion of the storage recess on the upstream side of the apex of the lip, the tablet is released. Due to its own weight, the tablet is moved to the posture correction section on the upstream side in the rotation direction, and the posture of the tablet is corrected in the posture correction section.
- the rotary drum further rotates, and the position force of the receiving recess for receiving the tablets S Rotary lid 'drum
- the tablet whose posture has been corrected may be re-moved from the posture correcting section toward the tablet receiving section, and in this regard, the tablet suction holding mechanism as described above.
- the receiving recess is formed so that the posture correction section is always located downstream of the tablet receiving section in the transport direction (rotational direction of the rotary drum). It does not need to be provided, and may be formed so as to be disposed upstream in the transport direction as necessary.
