PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tablet taking out device for taking out a tablet encapsulated in the vicinity of a tip end or in the vicinity of a rear end in a tablet sheet from the tablet sheet while the tablet sheet is supported by a supporting member.SOLUTION: When another tablet taking out operation is performed since a table cannot be taken out in one tablet taking out operation, a gap of a pair of supporting members for supporting a tablet sheet by an upstream side and a downstream side in a conveying direction of the tablet sheet is adjusted to be narrower than a gap of the pair of the supporting members in the last tablet taking out operation. By the adjustment, the taking out operation can be performed while most of the tablet sheets are supported by the supporting members.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 20COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】錠剤シートにおいて、先端近傍または後端近傍に封入された錠剤であっても、支持部材に支持された状態で錠剤シートから取り出しを行うことができる錠剤取出装置を提供する。【解決手段】一度の錠剤取出動作では錠剤が取り出せず再度錠剤取出動作を行われる際に、錠剤シートを搬送方向の上流側と下流側とから錠剤シートを支持する一対の支持部材の間隔を、直前の錠剤取出動作時の一対の支持部材の間隔よりも狭くなるように調整する。このように調整することで、大半の錠剤シートを支持部材で支持した状態で取出動作を行うことができる。【選択図】図20
