PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dispensing method capable of enhancing the degree of freedom in adjusting the number of dose packages.SOLUTION: In the dispensing method, powder and granular material on a groove is intermittently fed from the upstream side to the downstream side of the groove, and when the feed of the powder and granular material is stopped, the powder and granular material is segmented and dispensed by allowing any one of a segmenting member out of a wide segmenting member and a narrow segmenting member which is narrower than the wide segmenting member to be slidably brought into contact with the groove in the intersecting direction. The powder and granular material for the first one dose package is segmented by using the narrow segmenting member.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】 分包数の調整の自由度を高くすることができる分包方法の提供。【解決手段】 溝上にある粉粒体を該溝の上流側から下流側へ間欠的に送り、粉粒体の送りが停止した際に広幅の切出し部材と該広幅の切出し部材に比べて狭幅の切出し部材のうちの何れかの切出し部材を溝に交差する方向に摺接して粉粒体を切出して分包する分包方法であって、一包目となる粉粒体は狭幅の切出し部材を用いて切出す分包方法。【選択図】 図3
