The counter dial 68 is driven by the stepper motor 65 through the drive gear 66 and the driven gear 64. The diameter of the medicine outlet of the leather sheath 69 is a little larger than the diameter of the capsule hole of the counting rotary disc 68. The stepping motor 65 intermittently rotates to make the counting rotary disc 68 stay for a period at the funnel opening of the medicine tank 51 and stay for a period at the medicine outlet of the leather sheath 69, so that the capsule can smoothly fall into the counting rotary disc 68 from the medicine tank 51, and can smoothly fall into the capsule drawer 75 from the counting rotary disc 68. The driven gear 64 is supported on the lower side of the shaft by driven

shaft brackets

62, 63 and connected by

screws

61, 67.

The medicine discharging part consists of a bottom steering engine 71,

gears

72 and 74, a shaft 73, a capsule drawer 75,

racks

76 and 78 and

drawer blocking pieces

77 and 79. The bottom steering engine 71 is a power source and drives the whole gear rack mechanism to move. The

gears

72, 74 and the

racks

76, 78 constitute a rack-and-pinion mechanism, which converts the rotary motion output by the bottom steering engine 71 into linear motion of the capsule drawer 75. The capsule drawer 75 is defined in the front-rear position by

drawer stoppers

77, 79, and the left-right and up-down positions are defined due to the surface contact of the

racks

76, 78. The

racks

76, 77 are supported on respective rails of the left and

right side panels

12, 14.
