Abstract: A medicine packing apparatus in which a packing sheet (7) can be printed with predetermined information by a printing device (5). In the apparatus medicine can be fed into the packing sheet (7) by a medicine feeder (2, 3), and the packing sheet (7) can be sealed by a sealing device (8) to pack the medicine in a single package. The sealing device (8) is provided with conveyance portion (39) for conveying the packing sheet (7). In the middle of a conveyance path from the printing device (5) to the sealing device (8), there are provided a moving mechanism (12) which comes into contact with the packing sheet (7) and moves so that the tension of the packing sheet (7) is held at a constant value, and a position detector (33) which detects a moved position of the moving mechanism (12). After the packing sheet (7) is conveyed by the conveyance portion (39) and the position detector (33) detects a predetermined moved position, printing by the printing device (5) is started.

Abstract: A packing sheet 7 is printed with predetermined information by printing means 5, medicine is fed into the packing sheet 7 by medicine feed means 2, 3, and the packing sheet 7 is sealed by seal means 8 to pack the medicine by one package. The seal means 8 is provided with conveyance portion 39 for conveying the packing sheet 7. In the middle of a conveyance path from the print means 5 to the seal means 8, there are provided moving means 12 which comes into contact with the packing sheet 7 and moves so that the tension of the packing sheet 7 is held to be a constant value, and position detecting means 33 which detects a moved position of the moving means 12. After the packing sheet 7 is conveyed by the conveyance portion 39 and the position detecting means 33 detects a predetermined moved position, print by the print means 5 is started.

Abstract: On each of a plurality of disposed racks, an injection drug storing container is each detachably mounted. The injection drug storing container includes a transportation device for transporting a stored injection drug in one direction. The injection drug transported by the transportation device is housed in each housing portion formed on a circumferential portion of a rotating body one by one. The injection drug in each housing portion is sequentially delivered one by one by rotation of the rotating body.

Abstract: The present invention provides a multi-connected ampoules dispensing apparatus which is compact and have a high operation reliability. The dispensing portion 3 comprises a pair of rotors 8a, 8b each of which has a substantially C shape of cross section and is formed with a cutting edge 10 on one side edge. The rotors 8a, 8b are disposed in a vertical direction with a predetermined distance. The rotors 8a, 8b are synchronized to rotate from a receiving position to a cut-off position and return to the receiving position, whereby in the receiving position the rotors 8a, 8b can receive the first ampoule 4a and then cut off and dispense it. The second ampoule 4b adjacent to the first ampoule 4a is positioned in the waiting position by the positioning member 9 synchronized with the dispensing portion 3.

Abstract: A support member (7) is positioned at a lower part of a storage container (3). The support member (7) supports a second medicine container (10, 16, 17) placed on the lowermost medicine container so that the lowermost medicine container falls off by its own weight. The discharge member (8) discharges the medicine container which fell off from the support member (7). The collecting mechanism (24) conveys the medicines containers discharged from the discharge member (8) to one position.

Abstract: A drawer 2c is provided with a collecting mechanism 20 for collecting medicines discharged from the storage containers 3. The body frame 1 is provided with a recovery box 28 for recovering medicines collected by the collecting mechanism 20. The collecting mechanism 20 has a first passage and a second passage which can be used interchangeably. The first passage allows the medicines discharged from the storage containers 3 to be conveyed to the recovery box 28, when the drawers 2c are contained in the body frame 1, while the second passage allows the medicines discharged from the storage containers 3 to be conveyed to the recovery box 28 when the drawers 2c are drawn out of the body frame 1.

The collecting mechanism 20 has a first passage and a second passage which are interchangeable, the first passage allowing the medicines discharged from the storage containers 3 to be conveyed to the recovery box 28 in a state that the drawers 2c are contained in the body frame 1, while the second passage allowing the medicines discharged from the storage containers 3 to be conveyed to the recovery box 28 in a state that the drawers 2c are drawn out of the body frame 1.

Abstract: An ampule transfer device for receiving ampules from a first conveyor and transferring them to a second conveyor. The device includes a stocker that is vertically movably mounted and a guide that is pivotally mounted. The stocker has a base member, an end member and a lid plate for closing the opening between the base member and the end member. The lid plate is biassed to its closed position. When the lid plate is disengaged from the base member due to movement of the member, the lid plate is fully opened under the weight of ampules. As the end member is moved in an opening direction, the ampules are gradually discharged toward the second conveyor.

Abstract: This invention relates to locking means for a seat belt retractor equipped with an emergency lock which, in an emergency, locks the withdrawal of webbing.The locking means of the retractor includes a ratchet wheel (16) and a pawl (32). The pawl has two teeth, and the pawl and the ratchet wheel are positioned in such a way that when the load on the webbing is relatively small only one of the teeth of the pawl engages with a tooth of the ratchet wheel and there is a small gap between the other tooth of the pawl and the tooth of the ratchet wheel corresponding thereto. When the load on the webbing is relatively large both of the teeth of the pawl engage with teeth of the ratchet wheel. As a result, because the load on each tooth is half of what it is when the pawl has one tooth only, twice the torque can be withstood and the diameter of the ratchet wheel can be reduced.
