Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for regulating release of tablets into cells of a heat-formed strip has a frame (2), and at least one supply channel (3) for directing tablets (4) to an outlet (5). A tooth (6) is movable between a first position (A) where the tooth blocks the supply channel and a second position (B) which allows transit of the tablets (4) to the outlet. An elastically flexible blade (7) is fixed to the frame (2) and equipped with the tooth (6). A tube (8) supplied with a fluid elastically expands or retracts in a radial direction as a function of the fluid pressure. The tube (8) abuts the flexible blade (7) in such a way that by regulating the pressure of the fluid internally of the tube (8), it is possible to control the position of the tooth (6).
