Abstract
A material delivery device includes a housing, a container, and an actuator assembly. The housing includes a deck extending along a delivery axis Y toward a delivery end. The container is configured to dispense a tablet onto the deck. The actuator assembly includes a driver movable along the delivery axis Y, a spring operatively connected to the driver and positionable in an idle position and an activated position, and an actuator operably coupled to the driver. Actuation of the actuator causes the spring to move from the idle position to the activated position, and causes the driver to translate away from the delivery end of the deck. Actuation of the actuator beyond a threshold position causes the spring to move from the activated position to the idle position, and causes the driver to translate toward the delivery end of the deck and impart momentum to the tablet.
