Abstract: A rotor rotates, thereby sequentially making pockets reach a drug discharging outlet, so that tablets held therein are sequentially discharged through the drug discharging outlet. When each pocket reaches the drug discharging outlet, an upper opening of the pocket is closed by a separating member, which prevents new tablets from dropping in the pocket. An apex of a block with a protrusion has a height that is able to contact a lower face of a main body of the separating member. The apex strokes the lower face of the main body of the separating member upon rotation of the rotor. Only branches with which the apex of the block with a protrusion is brought into contact bend and deform upwardly. The deformed branches are successively replaced, so as to proceed as waves running. The tablets are pushed by the waves so as to proceed forward in the rotational direction.
