<p>The invention provides a tablet feeder that is simple in construction and yet capable of accurately preventing drawbacks from occurring due to jamming of medicine or the like. A motor 6 installed on a case support block 3 is driven to rotate a rotor 9 disposed in a medicine receiving case 1 through a plurality of gears. The tablets received in the medicine receiving case 1 are held in the pockets 10 of the rotor 9 and is moved to the discharge section 11 to discharge tablets from the discharge section 11. The gearing is composed of a driving gear 7 connected to the rotary shaft of the motor 6, and a driven gear 13 meshing with the driving gear 7. Installed in either of the power transmission paths extending from the motor 6 to the rotor 9 through the two gears 7, 13 is a power cut-off section 15, 17 that cuts off the power from the motor 6 when a force of a predetermined value or above acts on the rotor 9. <IMAGE></p> |
