摘要 |
The present invention is directed to a childproof dispenser for dispensing pills to similar articles which involves an elongated tubular body and a cap member telescopically connected therewith. Both the elongated tubular body and the cap member contain dispensing orifices which are not aligned horizontally and need not be aligned vertically in the closed position. Either the cap member or the elongated tubular body contains a horizontal track and a vertical track and the other contains a protrusion which travels in the track. The cap member may be inserted into the elongated tubular body wherein the protrusion and the track fit to one another or, in an alternative embodiment, the cap member may be fitted into the elongated tubular body. In order to dispense pills or like articles, the user must rotate the cap member relative to the elongated tubular body along the horizontal track and pull upwardly so that the protrusion engages with the vertical track so as to ultimately align the elongated tubular body orifice and the cap member orifice for dispensing.
