Apparatus for loading medication doses (4') into a cavity (15') of a blister sheet (12') made from a resilient plastics material, is provided with a number of horizontally- arranged containers one of which is shown at (6'). Each container can be operated to release a solid medication dose (4') into a cavity (15') of a selected blister. The blister sheet to have its cavities loaded with medication doses is supported horizontally on a table spaced beneath the level at which the containers (6') are located. A thick horizontal plate (1) is disposed between the level of the containers and the level of the table, and an array of inclined and axially-parallel bores (2') are formed through the plate. The upper ends of the bore associated with each blister cavity can be located beneath the container which is to deliver a dose to the cavity so that a released dose travels down the bore and impacts against one side of the bore which acts to deflect the dose and thus reduce its vertical momentum. The dose is released from the lower end of the bore and impacts against the inside upper, wall of the cavity. The risk of damage by impact of released doses with one another in the cavity is reduced and the risk of a dose bouncing back out of the cavity through impacting on its resilient floor is avoided.
Cette invention concerne un appareil de chargement de doses de médicament (4') dans une cavité (15') d'une plaquette alvéolée (12') faite d'une matière plastique souple. Ledit appareil est doté d'un certain nombre de contenants agencés horizontalement dont un exemple est représenté par le numéro de référence (6'). Chaque contenant peut être actionné pour libérer une dose d'un médicament sous forme solide (4') dans une cavité (15') d'une plaquette sélectionnée. La plaquette alvéolée dont les cavités doivent être chargées de doses de médicament est supportée horizontalement sur une table disposée en dessous des contenants (6') et espacée de ceux-ci. Une plaque horizontale épaisse (1) est disposée entre le niveau des contenants et le niveau de la table et une série d'alésages (2') inclinés et parallèles dans le sens axial, est formée à travers la plaque. Les extrémités supérieures de l'alésage associé à chaque cavité de plaquette peuvent être disposées en dessous du contenant qui doit libérer une dose dans la cavité. Ainsi, une dose libérée qui traverse l'alésage va heurter un côté de celui-ci, son parcours en sera dévié et, par conséquent, la quantité de son mouvement vertical est réduite. La dose est libérée à partir de l'extrémité inférieure de l'alésage et elle heurte la paroi interne supérieure de la cavité. Le risque d'endommagement par impact mutuel des doses libérées dans la cavité est réduit et le risque de rebondissement d'une dose hors de la cavité par impact contre le fond élastique de celle-ci est éliminé.
