Abstract
Capsule-gripping jaws are positioned on the end of resilient arms. From the unflexed position, a capsule can be inserted into the jaws to be resiliently grasped and retained during scoop filling of the capsule. After filling, the capsule is released in the first and second preferred embodiments by flexure of the arms and, in another preferred embodiment, by pressing out the capsule by flexing a release arm.
