<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tablet feed device that can reliably prevent jamming of tablets, and to provide a PTP sheet manufacturing device including the tablet feed device. <P>SOLUTION: The tablet feed device for feeding respective lens-shaped tablets 5 into a plurality of pocket parts formed on a container film, respectively, includes: a bowl feeder which can store a constant amount of tablets 5; and a feed chuter 32 and a coil chuter 33, which guide the tablets 5 taken from the bowl feeder into the pocket parts. The feed chuter 32 includes a feed passage 41 in which the tablets 5 flow down in a row by its own weight. The tablets 5 are composed so as to be able to flow down along the feed passage 41 only in such an attitude that the short axis of the tablets is intersectant with the direction of extension of the feed passage 41, and tapered sections 42 having gradually decreased width toward both sides are formed on both side parts in the longitudinal direction of a cross-section opening shape of the feed passage 41 when the feed chuter 32 is cut in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the feed passage 41. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
