Abstract
A metering device is for the volumetric metering of micro-tablets or the like and for transferring metered partial amounts of the micro-tablets into target containers. The metering device includes a metering unit with volumetrically specific metering chambers and a feed container, which is disposed above the metering unit in the direction of gravity. The feed container has an upper filling opening, lateral container walls and a lower container bottom with transfer openings for transferring the micro-tablets into the metering chambers. At least one retaining bottom is disposed in the feed container between the filling opening and the container bottom. The retaining bottom covers the transfer openings in the container bottom, at least one through-gap for the micro-tablets being formed at the side of the retaining bottom.
