Abstract

A base supports a rotatable turntable having a plurality of capsule bases each having capsule recesses formed therein. A plurality of capsule lids are pivotally supported upon the turntable and overlie their respective capsule bases providing closure of the recesses. A plurality of stationary cams are supported beneath the turntable and communicate with a corresponding plurality of cam following flanges which operate the capsule lids. A motor drive rotates the turntable upon the base such that the cam following flanges of the lids are intermittently pivoted to open positions as they pass some of the cams.
