<p>A pill dispenser (10) includes a housing (12) having front (14), rear (16), and side walls (18) defining a hollow interior. A pill holding member (30) is removably coupled to the housing front wall and defines a frontward bore (34) configured to receive a pill and being in operative communication with the housing front opening. An elongate plunger shaft (40) having proximal (42) and distal (44) ends extends through the housing (12). The shaft is movable between a retracted configuration in which the distal end extends from the housing rear wall and an actuated configuration in which the distal end (46) is adjacent the housing rear wall. A spring (52) is positioned in the dispenser housing and operatively connected to the plunger shaft for selectively moving the plunger shaft between the retracted and actuated configurations so as to eject a pill from the holding member.</p> |
