An apparatus 10 for holding a solid compact medicament has relatively displaceable, substantially planar first and second members 12,14 having opposed edge portions 16,18. Each edge portion 16,18 has at least one notch 20 having an interior wall 22. Housing 21 is provided for holding members 12,14 in a substantially co-planar relationship. When members 12,14 are displaced, preferably along a fixed axis, to a first position, the interior walls 22 of the opposed, aligned notches 20 define an open gripping jaw 24 for receiving and subsequently releasing the caplet (A). Further, when members 12,14 are displaced to a second position, the open gripping jaw 24 then partially closes, thereby capturing the caplet (A) securely within the notches 20 in the gripping jaw 24 for processing. <IMAGE> |
