PILL DISPENSING DEVICE

摘要

A pill dispensing cap for a bottle has an inner sleeve (4) with a divider panel (21) and a first base panel (7) rotatable within an outer sleeve (3) having a second base panel (17). First and second window openings (15, 16) are defined in the first and second base panels. A plate (9) moveable across and within the two sleeves defines a third window opening (19) and a fourth window opening (20) is defined in the divider panel (21). The plate (9) can be held in an initial position wherein the first and second windows (15, 16) are aligned, whilst the third and fourth windows (19, 20) are not aligned. The outer sleeve (4) is rotatable to a condition wherein the first and second windows are not aligned and the plate (9) can then be slid across to a condition wherein the third and fourth windows (19, 20) are aligned to allow pills in a bottle to enter the inner sleeve (4). Replacement of the plate (9) to its initial condition allows the outer sleeve (3) to be rotated back to its initial condition, thus allowing pills to be dispensed from the inner container (4) via the aligned first and second windows (15, 16).
