Abstract: In a state in which a ferrule 10 is sandwiched and fixed between a ferrule receiving part 20 and a ferrule pressing part 30, the ferrule 10 is urged toward the ferrule receiving part 20 side by an urging member 33. With this structure, without configuring such that the ferrule pressing part is screwed in the ferrule receiving part by rotating several times, the ferrule 10 can be pressed toward the ferrule receiving part 20 side by a sufficient pressing force by the urging force of the urging member 33. Therefore, the attaching work of the column 2 can be performed more easily.

Abstract: A housing is provided with an internal space for accommodating an insert and a cylindrical cap attachment part provided, at the distal end surface thereof, with an opening part communicating with the internal space. An inclined groove that is inclined from the distal end side to the proximal end side of the cap attachment part along the circumferential direction of the cap attachment part is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the cap attachment part. A cap fixing part for attaching a seal cap to the cap attachment part has a cap holding part for holding the outer peripheral surface of the seal cap and an elastic part connected to the cap holding part. The elastic part is provided with a protrusion that is fit into the inclined groove of the outer peripheral surface of the cap attachment part.

Abstract: A ferrule container 1 is provided with a ferrule accommodating part 11 and a first column guide part 12. A ferrule is accommodated in the ferrule accommodating part 11. The first column guide part 12 guides a column so as to insert the column into the ferrule accommodated in the ferrule accommodating part 11. Guiding of the column by the first column guide part 12 enables the column to be smoothly and reliably inserted into the ferrule accommodated in the ferrule accommodating part 11. Consequently, unlike a case in which an operator inserts a column while pinching a ferrule with hand, the work of inserting a column into a ferrule can easily be performed.

Abstract: A tablet filling device for supplying a vial container of desired size certainly with no mistake comprising a plurality of containing means containing vial containers by size, a means for taking out a vial container from the containing means based on prescription data, means for carrying a vial container taken out by the container take out means, a means for providing a table to a vial container carried by the carrying means, a means for collecting a vial container in the middle of carriage by the carrying means, a means provided on the carrying passage of the carrying means and detecting the size of a carried vial container, and a control means for judging whether the size of a vial container selected based on the prescription data matches the size of a vial container detected by the container size detection means and collecting the carried vial container by the container collection means if they do not match each other.

Abstract: A vial capping device includes a cap installation ring, a holding device, a movement device, and a tightening motor. The cap installation ring has an inner periphery thread to be threadedly engaged with a thread of an outer peripheral surface of a cap. The holding device holds a vial during fastening. The movement device brings a thread of the inner peripheral surface of the cap attached to the cap installation ring and an opening of the vial closer to each other. The tightening motor rotates one or both of the cap installation ring engaged with the cap and the holding device holding the vial. Thus, the vial capping device with a simple construction reliably fastens the cap to the vial.

Abstract: Provided are a vial capping device and a vial capping method allowing the cap to be reliably fastened to the vial with a simple construction. The vial capping device has: a cap installation ring (35) equipped with an inner periphery thread (56) to be threadedly engaged with a thread (9) of an outer peripheral surface of a cap (1); a holding device (71) for holding a vial (1); a movement device (71) for bring ing at least one of a thread (6) of the inner peripheral surface of the cap attached to the cap (2) installation ring (35) and an opening (3) of the vial (1) close to the other; and a tightening motor (42) for rotating at least one of the cap installation ring (35) and the holding device (71).

Abstract: To provide a medicine-bag printing apparatus provided with a conveying mechanism that can smoothly convey medicine bags and align them. A medicine bag (2 ) is printed by any one of a plurality of printers (11, 12 ) to be collected in a collecting portion (5 ) via a conveying route (6, 13, 14). The printing apparatus is provided with medicine-bag direction converting device (6, 14 ) which convert the direction of medicine bags printed by the respective printers so the printing surface and the printing direction become same.

Abstract: The present invention provides an automatic paper feed apparatus which can reliably prevent papers from being discharged in an overlapped state in spite of simple construction. The automatic paper feed apparatus comprises a paper feed roller for automatically feeding a plurality of papers in order from an uppermost one, with the plurality of papers being contained in a cassette in a stacked state. A holding member having flexibility is provided so that the holding member comes into contact with the uppermost paper to generate a friction force that is weaker than that between the paper feed roller and the uppermost paper.
