PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tablet division device capable of splitting a tablet right/left uniformly.SOLUTION: A tablet division device 1 divides a tablet 10 including a split line 11 along the split line 11 and includes: rotation force exertion means for rotating the tablet 10 elongate members 3a and 3b pressing means 17 for pressing at least one face of the tablet 10 to the elongate members 3a and 3b and division means 5 including blade parts 12a and 12b. The tablet 10 is rotated while the pressing means 17 presses the tablet 10 to the elongate members 3a and 3b, the elongate members 3a and 3b fit with the split line 11 of the tablet 10 at a predetermined rotation position and rotation of the tablet 10 is stopped, and the blade part of the division means 5 abuts the split line 11 of the tablet 10 while a rotation posture of the tablet 10 is kept and the tablet 10 is divided along the split line 11.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】錠剤を左右均等に割ることができる錠剤分割装置を提供することを課題とする。【解決手段】割線11を有する錠剤10を割線11に沿って分割する錠剤分割装置1である。錠剤10を回転させる回転力付与手段と、細長状部材3a,3bと、錠剤10の少なくとも一面を細長状部材3a,3bに押し当てる押圧手段17と、刃部12a,12bを備えた分割手段5とを有する。押圧手段17で錠剤10を細長状部材3a,3bに押し当てつつ錠剤10を回転させ、所定の回転位置で錠剤10の割線11に細長状部材3a,3bが係合して錠剤10の回転が停止し、錠剤10の回転姿勢を維持した状態で分割手段5の刃部を錠剤10の割線11に当てて錠剤10を割線11に沿って分割する。【選択図】図1
