PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent undesired falling of temporarily stored tablets when a single-row storage mechanism 320 is drawn out in association with an upper tablet collecting mechanism 140 and to allow a user to face and clean the mechanisms after the mechanisms are drawn out.SOLUTION: A tablet packaging machine 300 includes: tablet feeders 13 storing tablets and ejecting them one by one a plurality of tablet feeder storage sections 12 each equipped with a plurality of the tablet feeders and drawable from a casing an upper tablet collecting mechanisms 140 mounted to the tablet feeder storage sections and guiding the tablets ejected from the tablet feeders 13 downward to fall a plurality of single-row storage mechanisms 320 temporarily storing the tablets falling from the upper tablet collecting mechanisms and then releasing them downward a lower tablet collecting mechanism (15) collecting the tablets falling from the single-row storage mechanisms and supplying them downward and a packaging device (17) dividing and packaging the tablets supplied from the lower tablet collecting mechanism into packaging bands. The single-row storage mechanisms 320 are configured to be drawn forward one by one in association with the upper tablet collecting mechanisms 140. In addition, side boards 322 of the single-row storage mechanisms 320 are used as detachable tablet falling prevention members while the single-row storage mechanisms are drawn out.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】単列貯留機構320を上部錠剤収集機構140に随伴させて引き出しても引出中は一時貯留錠剤の不所望な落下を防止でき引出後は対面状態で清掃できるようにする。【解決手段】錠剤を収容して逐次排出する錠剤フィーダ13と、それを複数装備しており筐体から引出可能な錠剤フィーダ格納庫12を複数と、それに装備されていて錠剤フィーダ13から排出された錠剤を下方へ案内して落下させる上部錠剤収集機構140と、そこから落下した錠剤を一時貯留してから放下する単列貯留機構320を複数と、そこから落下した錠剤を収集して下方へ投入する下部錠剤収集機構(15)と、そこから投入された錠剤を包装帯に区分包装する包装装置(17)とを備えた錠剤分包機300において、単列貯留機構320を上部錠剤収集機構140に随伴させて一つずつ前方へ引き出せるようにしたうえで、単列貯留機構320の側板322を着脱自在な引出時錠剤落下防止部材にする。【選択図】 図1
