  • both the fixedly mounted transport device and the mobile transport device have a plurality of receiving compartments for individual portions of medicaments, the arrangement of the receiving compartments being coordinated with one another.
  • the receiving compartments of the permanently mounted transport device and the receiving compartments of the mobile transport device have bottom openings which can be opened with a closing device which is an integral part of the respective transport device.
  • a closing device comprises at least one movable closing plate, and by a movement of the closing plate, the bottom openings in the mobile or the fixed mounted transport device are released, so that in the case of the mobile transport device located in the receiving compartments individual portions of drugs in the corresponding receiving compartments are transferred to the fixed mounted transport device. From this, the individual portions of medicaments can be transferred to another device of the automated drug metering device, which the Single portions of drugs, for example, a blistering feeds.
  • the drop height of the medicaments causes the medicament particles to chip off and, in particular in the region of the edges of the bottom openings, the closing plate and further parts of the Dirty locking device.
  • the chipped drug particles may adhere to subsequently introduced drugs and contaminate them and be transferred when releasing the bottom openings either from the mobile to the stationary transport device or from this to a subsequent device and finally get into the blister.
  • the transport device according to the invention for feeding individual portions of medicaments for an automated medicament dosing device comprises at least one transport tray with a plurality of storage compartments arranged in one plane and open at the top for receiving one or more individual portions of medicaments.
  • the transport device further comprises a carrier frame receiving the at least one transport tray.
  • the at least one transport tray is removably arranged in the support frame and each of the plurality of storage compartments comprises a bottom opening, via which the individual portions of medicaments can be supplied to a further device.
  • the transport device or the support frame further comprises a closing device with at least one closing plate, wherein arranged in a plane bottom openings of the receiving compartments of at least one transport tray by a relative movement of the at least one closing plate to the at least one transport trays are releasable and closable, i. for releasing and closing movement of the transport tray or the closing plate is possible or necessary.
  • the inventive device comprises two main components, namely the transport tray, or a group of transport trays, and the support frame with the locking device.
  • the transport tray (hereinafter referred to as a transport tray, but according to the invention, several transport trays can always be used) can be removed from the support frame, i. There is no permanent connection between the support frame and the transport tray. Removing the transport tray provides easy access to the striker plate (s) so that they can be easily cleaned.
