PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reliably take out a medicine container to a storage means of a head for taking out a container from a cassette.SOLUTION: A medicine dispenser 101 includes: a cassette 403 in which a plurality of medicine containers 1 are arranged a head 401 for taking out a container which comprises a storage means 17 for storing the medicine container 1 from the cassette 403 and subsequently housing the medicine container 1 and a tray 107 for storing the medicine container 1 by moving the medicine container 1 from the cassette 403 by means of the container take-out head 401. The storage means 17 includes a carry-in end 18 into which the medicine container 1 is to be carried from the cassette 403, a drive unit 19 which inclines a bottom surface 21 of the storage means 17, and a control unit which controls the drive unit 19. The control unit performs an inclination operation of inclining the bottom surface 21 of the storage means 17 so as to incline the bottom surface 21 of the storage means 17 downward from the carry-out end 19, when moving the medicine container 1 to the storage means 107 from a cassette 403.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】本発明は、カセットから容器取出ヘッドの収納手段へ薬品容器を確実に取り出す事を目的とするものである。【解決手段】複数の薬品容器1が配置されたカセット403と、カセット403から、薬品容器1を取り出し、その後、薬品容器1を収納する収納手段17を備えた容器取出ヘッド401と、カセット403から、容器取出ヘッド401を用いて薬品容器1を移動させて、薬品容器1を格納するトレイ107と、を備える薬品支払装置101において、収納手段17には、カセット403から薬品容器1が搬入される搬入端18と、収納手段17の底面21を傾斜させる駆動部19と、駆動部19を制御する制御部と、を備え、制御部は、カセット403から収納手段107へ薬品容器1を移動させる際に、収納手段17の底面21が、搬入端19から下り傾斜となるように、収納手段17の底面21を傾斜させる傾斜動作を行う薬品支払装置101とした。【選択図】図7
