<p>A medicine feeder in which medicine containers (4) received in a vertical row in a cassette (1) are successively fed from below, comprising a holding means (6) for holding at least the medicine container (4) positioned in the bottom of the cassette (1), a transfer means (20) disposed below the cassette (1) and adapted to be vertically movable to downwardly transfer the bottom medicine container (4) held by the holding means (6), a driving means (29) for upwardly moving the transfer means (20), lifting the bottom medicine container (4) held by he holding means (6), canceling the held state established by the holding means (6), downwardly moving the transfer means (20) by a predetermined distance and stopping the same, and downwardly moving the transfer means (20) after the holding means (6) has held the second medicine container (4) from the bottom. This reliably prevents the medicine containers (4) from being damaged during feeding or an error in the feed number from creeping in.</p> |
