Abstract
A tablet feeder that is simple in construction and yet capable of accurately preventing drawbacks from occurring due to jamming of medicine or the like. A motor () installed on a case support block () is driven to rotate a rotor () disposed in a medicine receiving case () through a plurality of gears. The tablets received in the medicine receiving case () are held in the pockets () of the rotor () and are moved to a discharge section () to discharge tablets therefrom. The gearing is composed of a driving gear () connected to the rotary shaft of the motor (), and a driven gear () meshing with the driving gear (). Installed in either of the power transmission paths extending from the motor () to the rotor () through the two gears () is a power cut-off section () that cuts off the power from the motor () when a force of a predetermined value or above acts on the rotor ().
