<p>A supply path (10) which communicates with the bottom of a hopper and drops capsules (12) is formed in a magazine (3) which is periodically moved vertically. When the magazine (3) comes off the lower end position of the vertical motion, a stopper (30) stops the falling of capsules (12) from the lower end of the supply path (10). A groove (46) for receiving capsules (12) falling from the lower end of the supply path (10) is formed in a capsule receiving table (4). In synchronism with the vertical motion of the magazine (3), a push transfer mechanism (37) lays a capsule falling from the lower end of the supply path (10) into the groove (46) of the capsule receiving table (4), and pushes the capsule (12) in the extending direction of the groove (46). A groove (48) communicating with the groove (46) of the capsule receiving table (4) is formed in a weighing table (5). The weighing table (5) weighs the capsule (12) pushed from the capsule receiving table (4) by the push transfer mechanism (37). A discharge member (40) discharges the weighed capsule (12). The weight of each capsule (12) is rapidly measured while a high measurement accuracy is maintained. <IMAGE></p> |
