ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is provided for use in detecting defects, such as pin holes, cracks and/or uneven gelatin distribution, in capsule shells. The apparatus is comprised of a light box which includes one or a plurality of light bulbs disposed within the box, one or more opaque panels which are disposed in front of each light bulb, and a plurality of transparent pegs carried by the panels and protruding outwardly away from the light bulbs, each peg being adapted to carry a capsule body or cap which fits snugly over the peg. Light shining through the capsule shells disposed on the pegs indicates defects such as pin holes, cracks and/or uneven distribution of gelatin in the capsules.
