ABSTRACT:
An improved slat-type counting machine which prevents continuous miscounting of discrete articles, such as tablets, capsules, and the like, is disclosed. The slats are provided with conventional cavities, each of which carry a tablet or capsule therein to be counted. Each cavity is provided with a slit therethrough which slit penetrates the bottom of the cavity and partially into its supporting slat. The stationary ejector blade mechanism of the present invention is mounted to the counting machine. As the slats travel in a closed loop path, each slit is penetrated by a blade, the tip thereof entering the slit at a point beyond the bottom of the cavity to thereby eject any tablet wedged in the cavity, which tablets failed to discharge by force of gravity at a predetermined discharge station area. Means are also disclosed for adjusting and aligning the ejector blade mechanism with respect to the slit cavities disposed in the moving slats.
