In a portable dispenser for medicines such as pills, tablets, capsules, etc., and which includes a case housing a plurality of separate medicine receptacles or compartments corresponding to certain periods in each day in the course of a week, and which has a plurality of transparent cover strips or slats which may be moved to open or close the receptacles to provide access to or close the receptacles; the improvement which includes a lock mechanism for normally locking the cover strips in closed position relative to one or more medicine compartment but which may easily be operated to release the cover strips to allow them to be moved to open position to provide access to the medicine compartments. The lock mechanism also permits the cover strips once open to be easily returned to closed position to close the underlying medicine compartments. The lock mechanism thus provides a positive element of safety to the dispenser which is particularly suitable in preventing accidental access to the pill compartments by infants or children.
