ABSTRACT:
A device for dispensing medicament capsules is set forth which includes a housing within which are disposed a plurality of vertically spaced and substantially parallel transverse dispensing gates. Each dispensing gate has a like number of apertures extending vertically through the gate and spaced at different radial distances from the housing axis where the radial distances are of equal length in each one of the plurality of gates. Those apertures located at equal radial distances in successive dispensing gates are spaced in a radial sequence of equal angles. Between each successive dispensing gate a removable and reloadable carriage member is located which is contiguous with the dispensing gate and each carriage member has a multiplicity of radially spaced slots extending vertically througth the carriage member for storage of medicament capsules. The slots are sequentially located concentrically about the vertical axis at radial distances equal to those radial distances locating a dispensing gate aperture. The carriage members are connected together to permit vertical alignment of the carriage member slots such that upon rotation of the carriage members, the slots remain in vertical alignment. A programmable motor is also provided to index or rotate the carriage members whereby upon open alignment of any carriage member slot with a dispensing gate aperture the capsules contained in the slot will pass downwardly through the dispensing gate.
