ABSTRACT:
A tablet feeder includes a mechanism for preventing tablets from being discharged from any pocket formed in the outer periphery of a rotor mounted on a tablet storage case when the case is fitted on or removed from a support. The tablet feeder includes the tablet storage case and the support. The rotor is rotatably mounted on an inner bottom of the case. A plurality of pockets are formed in the outer periphery of the rotor at predetermined intervals. The rotor is rotated by a motor through a gear. A resilient engaging member having a toothed tip is mounted on the inner bottom of the case. The resilient engaging member carries a disengaging arm. When the case is dismounted from the support, the toothed tip engages a gear provided at the bottom end of the rotor, preventing the rotation of the rotor.
