The blister strip drive member and the start lever respectively include a drive gear 16 and a drive gear element 28 that cooperate with each other to generate rotation of the blister strip drive member in response to rotation of the start lever. The drive gear and the drive gear element are arranged on the outer side of the housing apart from the chamber.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 |
