A sliding surface having a gentle slope for carrying pharmaceutical products such as infusion bottles (20) is formed by a row of rollers (15) extending in the direction of slope. An ejecting member (14) for sequentially ejecting the products (20) is formed as a series of a flat plate (14a) and a curved plate (14c). The flat plate (14a) is pivotably supported such that the pivot center is on an extension of the sliding surface. The curved plate (14c) is provided below the flat plate (14a), maintaining a constant distance from the pivot center. An actuator such as an electric motor (12) for pivotally moving the ejecting member (14) is provided beneath the sliding surface. Since the pharmaceutical product at the head of a queue assists the pivotal movement, it is ensured that a small actuator serves the purpose.
A pharmaceutical product dispensing system, comprising:
A pharmaceutical product dispensing system comprising:
A pharmaceutical product cassette which aligns pharmaceutical products on a sliding surface having a gentle slope for storage and sequential ejection, and which sequentially ejects the products by using ejecting mechanisms provided in the neighborhood of the descent end of the sliding surface, wherein the sliding surface is formed by arranging rollers in first rows of rollers in the direction of slope, and each of the ejecting mechanisms comprises:
A pharmaceutical product storage apparatus which holds a two-dimensional array of a large number of containers accommodating pharmaceutical products so that the containers can be drawn forward, and which is configured to advance the containers by using container opening mechanisms provided behind the containers, wherein
