PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a multi-string conveyor to be easily and inexpensively manufactured.SOLUTION: A device 50 for manually distributing medicines includes: a preliminary distribution cassette 20 having multiple multi-row and multi-string regions 22, and to be drawable from a case body the multi-string conveyor 80 having multiple compartments 93 arranged by multi-row and multi-string whose number is larger than those of the regions 22, arranged inside the case body, and, collectively receiving the medicines from the preliminary distribution cassette 20 and a single-string conveyer 40 having one-string compartments by the number larger than that of the rows and receiving the medicines by each portion for one string from the multi-string conveyor 80 inside the case body. The multi-string conveyor 80 is obtained by disposing compartment string members 90, where the number is larger than that of the strings of the regions in the preliminary distribution cassette, on a pair of endless belts 81 which are arranged in parallel so as to be driven together. The compartment string members 90 are obtained by integrally forming the compartments 93 for the portion of one string of the multi-string conveyor 80. The compartments 93 have truncated shapes with wide openings and small inner bottoms, where longitudinally linear projections (95) are formed on the inner surfaces and the inner bottoms have rough faces.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】容易かつ安価に製造できるよう多列コンベアを改良する。【解決手段】多行多列の多数マス22を具備し筐体から引出可能な予備撒きカセット20と、それより列数の多い多行多列に並んだ多数の区画室93を具備しており筐体内に設けられて予備撒きカセット20から一括して薬剤を受け取る多列コンベア80と、行数より多い一列の区画室を具備し筐体内で多列コンベア80から一列分ずつ薬剤を受け取る単列コンベア40とを具えた薬剤手撒き装置50において、多列コンベア80が、平行配置されていて一緒に駆動される一対の無端ベルト81に予備撒きカセットのマスの列数より多くの区画列部材90を装架したものであり、区画列部材90が、多列コンベア80の一列分の区画室93を一体形成したものである。区画室93は、開口が広く内底が狭い錐台状で、内側面に縦線状突起(95)が形成され、内底が粗面になっている。【選択図】 図1
