Apparatus For Regulating Release Of Tablets Into Cells Of A Heat Formed Strip

An apparatus for regulating release of tablets into cells of a heat-formed strip, comprising:

• a frame (2);
• at least one supply channel (3) which can be crossed by tablets (4) and which comprises an outlet (5) of tablets (4);
• a tooth (6) which is mobile between a first advanced position (A), in which the tooth (6) blocks the supply channel (3) so as to interrupt transit of tablets (4), and a second retracted position (B) for consenting transit of tablets (4) along the supply channel (3);
• an elastically flexible blade (7) fixed to the frame (2) and equipped with the tooth (6);
• a tube (8) which can be supplied with a fluid for elastically expanding or retracting the tube (8) in a radial direction as a function of a pressure the fluid attains internally of the tube (8);
• the tube (8) being arranged so as to abut the flexible blade (7) in such a way that regulating the pressure of the fluid internally of the tube (8), controls the position of the tooth (6).
