Abstract:
To readily detect the taking-out of an object contained in a blister pack, there is provided a detection apparatus for detecting a timing at which a contained object is taken out from a blister pack including a plurality of containing portions and a plate-like portion that connects the plurality of containing portions. The apparatus includes a plate on which the blister pack is arranged, a plurality of light sources that emit light beams to the plurality of containing portions of the blister pack arranged on the plate, a plurality of sensors that receive the light beams emitted from the light sources, and also output electrical signals corresponding to light reception intensities, and a detector that detects the presence/absence of contained objects in the respective containing portions based on the electrical signals output from the plurality of sensors.

Claim (Index 6):
The detection apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n said plate includes concave portions, the number, positions, and sizes of which correspond to the containing portions, to insert the respective containing portions of the blister pack, said light sources and said sensors are arranged in said concave portions, respectively, and said light sources emit the light beams toward directions other than directions of said sensors.
