ABSTRACT:
A feeder device is provided for inserting solid medicaments, such as caplets, into a holding fixture for subsequent processing, for example, dipping in a gelatinous material. The feeder device incorporates a novel selector for eliminating partial pieces of medicaments before these pieces can be disposed into the holding fixture. The disclosed simple mechanical selection apparatus can eliminate these pieces efficiently prior to costly additional processing steps. Also included with this invention are novel mechanisms for regulating the flow of medicaments from a hopper to a plunger assembly, whereby a single medicament at a time can be inserted into a corresponding holding fixture.
