摘要： An automated feeder may allow continuous and synchronized feeding of small trays to equipment for subsequent processing. Automated feeder includes a piston with a suction cup on a distal end. The suction cup may contact and extract via a vacuum trays disposed in a compartment disposed in front of the piston. The compartment may include a frame with rods projecting perpendicularly and at least one backstop to inhibit movement of the trays. A vacuum breaking means may be disposed between the piston and the frame, such that during extension of the piston a vacuum is generated to hold a tray. When the piston is retracted, the tray is pulled from the compartment, partially deforming corners of the tray which releases the tray from backstop(s) of the frame. The small tray falls down by gravity and is taken by a ramp to a conveyor to equipment for subsequent processing.

摘要： An article handling apparatus embodied, for example, as a vending machine, includes a controllably positioned hose-type dispenser for retrieving articles from an article storage area. A first end of the hose receives article securing energy (e.g., suction), and a second end is adapted to secure to and extract a selected article from the storage area. A hose positioning mechanism controllably positions the second end of the hose for retrieving articles from the article storage area. In order to maximize the height of the article storage volume, as well as provide other advantages, the following aspects of the invention are provided:1. the hose positioning mechanism maintains a constant height during hose positioning,2. a hose drive means drives the hose in the article extraction direction by passing “THROUGH” the hose positioning mechanism,3. the hose is constrained for movement between a hose storage area and the hose positioning mechanism so as to move in the same space in which the hose positioning mechanism moves,4. the hose positioning mechanism carries therein the hose drive means, and5. the hose positioning mechanism may comprise an X-Y, R-Theta, or Scissors arrangement.

摘要： A tablet feed having a drive transmission composed of a drive gear 7 that is interlocked with the rotating shaft of a motor 6, a driven gear 13 that is interlocked with a rotor 9, and an intermediate gear 14 made up of a first gear section 15 that gears with the drive gear 7 and a second gear section 16 that gears with the driven gear 13. At least a gear ratio of the second gear section 16 to the first gear section 15 of the intermediate gear 14 is made small so as to prevent tablets in other pocket sections 10 adjacent to a pocket section 10 open to a discharge port 11 from falling from the discharge port 11 when a tablet housing case 4 is detached from a case support base 3. This makes it possible to prevent tablets from falling down when the tablet housing case is detached from the case support base.

摘要： A drug filling apparatus capable of preventing drugs from being bridged to each other and reducing troubles. The drug filling apparatus has functions of selecting specific tablets from various types of tablet groups and filling of the selected tablets into a vial, and includes a storage cabinet (2), a drug supplying section (3), a drug halting section (5), a drug conveying section (6), a drug filling section (7), a vial storing section (8), and a vial carrying section (9). A drug dispenser (20) is installed in the drug halting section (5). A receptacle (31) of the drug dispenser (20) is constituted by an outer receptacle portion (35) and an inner receptacle portion (36). When a time for filling of tablets in the drug dispenser (20) into the vial comes, a motor (62) of a drive section (32) rotates according to specified signals to rotate the inner receptacle portion (36); that is, the rotational orientation of the inner receptacle portion (36) is changed to reverse the inner receptacle portion (36).

摘要： A device for dispensing pills one at a time or one dose at a time includes a unit chamber fittable within/integral with the rim of a bottle. The unit chamber includes a plurality of radial projections which project inwardly to define discrete pill holding areas. The distance between adjacent radial projections is slightly larger than the width of the pill sought to be contained and dispensed by the container. As the bottle is inverted, pills will fall into the pill holding areas, one pill or dosage amount per area. A dispensing cap is rotatable relative to the unit chamber. A single pill-width window in the cap is positionable opposite the pill holding areas of the unit chamber. When a pill is meant to be dispensed, the bottle is inverted or angled downward, and a single pill in the pill holding area opposite the window falls out of the bottle.

摘要： An automated dispensing assembly includes a base, and a shuttle mounted in the base and movable under automated control between a loading position and a dispensing position. The shuttle includes a cavity configured to carry an object, such as cover. The depth of the cavity in the shuttle is approximately the same (or less) as the thickness of one of the objects. A storage module is mounted proximate the shuttle. The storage module is configured to store a plurality of objects and includes an opening exposing the next object to be dispensed. The cavity is positioned adjacent the opening in the storage module in the loading position and an edge of the cavity separates the object to be dispensed from the other objects in the storage module as the shuttle moves to the dispensing position.

摘要： A multicarton pack which can be easily separated into individual cartons, without destroying the integrity of any of the cartons in the pack. Cartons may have an improved dispenser at one end of the carton, which preserves the integrity of the carton when the carton is opened by permitting a bottom end flap attached to the bottom panel to remain in place and also a portion of each side end flap that is adjacent to the bottom end flap. The dispenser may also provide a safety net for the first container that is automatically dispensed when the carton is opened. This is achieved by a novel method of providing a pattern of cuts in adjoining side walls of the cartons and for the cartons to be glued together by gluing the cuts on one of the adjoining side walls. The location of glue spots and their size and number are sufficient to maintain the pack together but yet allow the cartons to be separated without destroying the integrity of the panels glued together.
