A tablet packing apparatus in which tablets fed from a plurality of feeder vessels in a tablet feed section through a common guide path are packaged in a tablet vessel fed from a tablet vessel feed section, the apparatus comprising:
- a fall guide path formed in a motor base on which a feeder vessel, which stores specially administrative tablets, is mounted, wherein the fall guide path does not communicate with the common guide path;
- a tablet reserving member disposed below the motor base on which the feeder vessel which stores specially administrative tablets is mounted, the tablet reserving member having an upper opening which communicates with the fall guide path of the motor base and a lower opening, the tablet reserving member receiving the specially administrative tablets fed from the feeder vessel through the fall guide path of the motor base;
- and
- a shutter which is movable to open and close the lower opening of the tablet reserving member, wherein when setting the tablet vessel beneath the tablet reserving member and moving the shutter to open the lower opening of the tablet reserving member, the specially administrative tablets are fed into the tablet vessel without passing through the common guide path.
A tablet packing apparatus including a tablet feed section comprising a plurality of tablet feeder vessels for feeding tablets through a common guide path to a tablet vessel, said tablet feed section further comprising:
- at least one motor base defining a tablet fall guide path that does not communicate with the common guide path;
- a feeder vessel, mounted on said motor base, for storing specially administrative tablets;
- a tablet reserving member disposed below said motor base, said tablet reserving member having a lower opening and an upper opening communicating with the fall guide path of said motor base such that said tablet reserving member receives the special administrative tablets fed from said feeder vessel;
- and
- a shutter for opening and closing the lower opening of said tablet reserving member, wherein said shutter can be moved from a closed position to an open position by moving a tablet vessel beneath said tablet reserving member and engaging said shutter to open the lower opening and feed the specially administrative tablets into the tablet vessel without passing through the common guide path.
