PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tablet dividing device that suppresses occurrence of chipping of a tablet at the time of dividing the tablet.SOLUTION: A tablet dividing device 100 comprises: a body 110; a drive body 120 relatively movable with respect to the body 110 in an axial direction and comprising a dividing blade 121 for dividing a tablet T at one end in the axial direction; a biasing member 125 for elastically biasing the drive body 120 to one end side in the axial direction; a pulling member 130 configured to pull the drive body 120 to the other end side in the axial direction so as to resist a biasing force of the biasing member 125 and to eliminate a pulling force after moving the drive body 120 by a predetermined distance; and an operation member 140 acting on the pulling member 130 and driving the drive body 120 in the axial direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】錠剤分割時に錠剤の欠けの発生を抑えた錠剤分割装置を提供する。【解決手段】錠剤分割装置１００は、本体１１０と、該本体１１０に対して軸方向に相対移動可能であり、軸方向一端で錠剤Ｔを分割するための分割刃１２１を備えた駆動体１２０と、該駆動体１２０を軸方向一端側に弾性的に付勢する付勢部材１２５と、該付勢部材１２５の付勢力に抗するように駆動体１２０を軸方向他端側に牽引し、駆動体１２０を所定距離移動させた後に牽引力を消失させるように構成された牽引部材１３０と、該牽引部材１３０に作用し、駆動体１２０を軸方向へと駆動する操作部材１４０と、を備える。【選択図】図１
