Tablet dispenser with circular tablet channel
Abstract
Abstract A CALENDARED TABLET DISPENSER IS PROVIDED IN WHICH THE TABLETS ARE CONTAINED IN A CONTINUOUS CIRCULAR TABLET CHANNEL. BY VIRTUE OF A DOWNWARD EXTENDING PROJECTION SECURED TO THE COVER, ROTATION OF THE COVER WITH RESPECT TO THE BASE IN THE COUNTER-CLOCKWISE DIRECTION CAUSES THE TABLETS TO MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION IN THE TABLET CHANNEL. MEANS ARE PROVIDED TO PREVENT MOVEMENT OF THE TABLETS IN THE CHANNEL IN THE COUNTER-CLOCKWISE DIRECTIONS. IN USE, THE COVER IS ROTATED WITH RESPECT TO THE BASE IN THE COUNTERCLOCKWISE DIRECTION TO ALIGN THE INDICIA OF TIME REPRESENTING THE DAY ON WHICH THE FIRST TABLET IS TO BE TAKEN WITH THE TABLET ACCESS APERTURE. IN DISPENSING OF THE TABLET, THE COVER IS ROTATED IN THE CLOCKWISE DIRECTION.
