Medicine feeding apparatus
First Claim
1. A medicine feeding apparatus comprising:
- a main body;
a plurality of tablet cases receiving medicines;
a chute received in said main body and through which the medicine discharged from said tablet case comes down;
a hopper received in said main body, provided in correspondence to a lower side of said chute and collecting the medicines; and
a filling apparatus received in said main body and filling the medicines collected by said hopper in a drug packing paper or a container,wherein said hopper has a curtain for preventing the medicine passing through said chute from jumping up or rotating in said hopper caused by drop and absorbing a kinetic energy.

Abstract
An object of the invention is to provide a medicine feeding apparatus in which it is possible to prevent a medicine from being broken by well absorbing and reducing a kinetic energy at a time of discharging the medicine even in the case that a downsizing and a densification are promoted for making a discharge speed of the medicine higher, and it is possible to efficiently guide the medicine to an outlet portion of a hopper. Further, the medicine feeding apparatus is provided with a main body, a plurality of tablet cases receiving medicines, a chute received in the main body and through which the medicine discharged from the tablet case comes down, a hopper received in the main body, provided in correspondence to a lower side of the chute and collecting the medicines, and a filling apparatus received in the main body and filling the medicines collected by the hopper in a drug packing paper or a container. The hopper has a curtain for preventing the medicine passing through the chute from jumping up or rotating in the hopper caused by drop and absorbing a kinetic energy.
