Abstract: An apparatus for inspecting an appearance of capsule 40 in which cap 42 is fitted to body 41 includes a carrying body that carries capsule 40 housed in housing part 33, contact body 34 that rotates capsule 40 carried inside housing part 33 due to a contact friction, imaging device 17 that takes an image of the capsule rotating, and a determination device that determines if the capsule is good or poor based on an imaging data taken by imaging device 17. Wherein contact body 34 moves an inside of housing part 33 to a side of body 41 by rotating the capsule, which is housed in housing part 33 being separated from other capsules, around an axis direction, and the determination device determines an orientation of capsule 40 based on a position of capsule 40 in housing part 33.

Abstract: A capsule mass measuring device includes conveyer roller and measurement device having measurement plate. Conveyer roller is provided with protrusions and accommodation parts formed between adjacent protrusions, and each of which accommodating the capsule such that a longitudinal direction of the capsule is arranged along rotation axis. Measurement plate is provided with groove part and the measurement plate is arranged such that the capsule in accommodation part is supplied to groove part, by a rotation of the conveyer roller, during a period after the capsule passes through the lowest point until rotating 45 degrees, and the capsule of which the mass has been measured is discharged from measurement plate by contacting one of protrusions, which is defined as one protrusion, due to the rotation of conveyer roller.

Abstract: A capsule mass measuring device includes conveyer roller 10 and measurement device 20 having measurement plate 30. Conveyer roller 10 is provided with protrusions 12 and accommodation parts 13 formed between adjacent protrusions 12, and each of which accommodating the capsule such that a longitudinal direction of the capsule is arranged along rotation axis 11a. Measurement plate 30 is provided with groove part 32 and the measurement plate is arranged such that the capsule in accommodation part 13 is supplied to groove part 32, by a rotation of the conveyer roller, during a period after the capsule passes through the lowest point until rotating 45 degrees, and the capsule of which the mass has been measured is discharged from measurement plate 30 by contacting one of protrusions 12, which is defined as one protrusion, due to the rotation of conveyer roller 10.

Abstract: An edible-body marking device (1) has a carrier device (20) that carries an edible body, a detection part (210) that detects the edible body, and a laser processing part (220) that forms a marking pattern on the edible body by using laser light. The carrier device sequentially carries the edible body to the detection part (210) and the laser processing part (220). The detection part images (210) the edible body to acquire orientation information regarding an orientation of the edible body, and the laser processing part (220) has a memory part that stores in advance multiple pieces of marking procedure information regarding formation procedures of the marking pattern in association with their respectively different pieces of the orientation information, and forms the marking pattern on the edible body according to the marking procedure information extracted from the memory part based on the orientation information acquired by the detection part (210).
