PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve an alignment mechanism so that an interval of the sequential supply of tablets in a medicine feeder of a disk rotary type and a tablet dividing apparatus may not be coarse nor dense but be optimized.SOLUTION: A turntable is divided into an inner circumferential side (50) and an outer circumferential side (40), and an angular velocity of a large diameter turntable 40 is made higher than the angular velocity of a small diameter turntable 50, and also a tablet transfer path 32 of a rectification guide 30 is made spiral from an inner circumferential side end 32a to an outer circumferential side end 32b, and thereby an interval of the sequential supply of tablets is optimized. Further, a tablet abutment part (64) of a tablet detention mechanism is made to reciprocate to a temporary detention part 62 just before the outer circumferential side end 32b, the tablets are temporarily retained there (62), a tablet cutting blade of a tablet cutting mechanism is made to reciprocate there (62, 63) and the tablets are divided when an elongated blade insertion space 43 of the large diameter turntable 40 comes there (62), the generated cutting wastage is made to drop from a blade insertion space 43 and a small hole 42 to be separated from the divided tablets, and the divided tablets are made to drop from a discharging outlet 61.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1【課題】円板回転タイプの薬剤フィーダ及び錠剤分割装置における錠剤の逐次供給の間合いが過疎でも過密でもなく適正化されるように整列機構等を改良する。【解決手段】ターンテーブルを内周側(50)と外周側(40)とに分けて、小径ターンテーブル５０の角速度よりも大径ターンテーブル４０の角速度を高速にし、整流ガイド３０の錠剤移送路３２を内周側端部３２ａから外周側端部３２ｂまで螺旋状にすることで、錠剤逐次供給の間合いを適正化する。更に、外周側端部３２ｂの手前の一時留置部位６２に錠剤留置機構の錠剤当接部(64)を進退させて、そこ(62)に錠剤を一時的に留め置き、そこ(62)に大径ターンテーブル４０の細長い刃挿通用空隙４３が来たとき、そこ(62，63)に錠剤裁断機構の錠剤切断刃を進退させて錠剤を分割し、そのとき出た裁断屑を刃挿通用空隙４３や小孔４２から落下させて分割錠剤から分離し、分割錠剤を排出口６１から落下させる。【選択図】 図１
