Vial lid fastening device and medicine accommodating and removing device
First Claim
1. A vial lid fastening device for targeting a vial having a vial body and a lid body and mounting the lid body to the vial body, the targeted vial including threads engaging each other at the vial body and the lid body, the lid body including a rotation regulating part engaging a portion of the vial body to regulate rotation, comprising:
- a vial body holding means for holding the vial body while fixing a position in a rotation direction relative to a central axis with reference to the portion of the vial body;
a lid holding means for bringing the lid body into contact with the vial body while fixing a position in a rotation direction relative to the central axis with reference to the rotation regulating part; and
a lid rotating and fastening means for relatively rotating the lid body and the vial body.

Abstract
There is provided an improved vial lid fastening device capable of reliably completing lid fastening in a short time. The vial lid fastening device 30 has a lid rotating device 51, a lid placing member 52, 53, a transporting device 55, 56, a first lid body reservoir 115, 116, a vial lid holding and supplying device 57, and a vial discharging device 58. A lid body 3 slides on an inclined flat surface 102 to reach a terminal mechanism part 101, and a stepped section 31 of the lid body 3 engages a stepped section holder 105. The lid body 3 is grasped by chuck claws 35 and is rotated as engaged to the terminal mechanism part 101 of the stepped section holder 105. Then, one of rotation regulating protrusions 28a, 28b of the lid body 3 is allowed to collide with a rotation preventing member 107 of the lid placing member 52. Thus, position determination in a rotation direction is performed with reference to the rotation regulating projections 28a, 28b and such position is maintained fixedly. Thereafter, the lid body 3 is mated with the vial body 2 and then rotated by a chuck.
