Embodiment Construction

[0027]A single pill distributing cap (10) has a movable part (12) and a fixed part (14). The fixed part (14) is screwed onto a bottle (16) and the movable part (12) is rotationally attached to the fixed part (14). The fixed part (14) has two chambers: a pill sorting chamber (18), which forms an extension of the bottle (16) and which collects a plurality of pills (20), and an exit chamber (22) which is created by the juxtaposition of the movable part (12) over the fixed part (14). In other words, half of the interior defining surfaces of the exit chamber (22) are made out of the fixed part (14) while the other half are made out of the movable part (12).

[0028]The movable part (12) includes an integral cavity (24) and a porthole (30), such that when the movable part (12) is rotated with respect to the fixed part (14) and the cavity (24) aligns with the pill sorting chamber (18) of the fixed part (14) the pill (20) is allowed to drop into the cavity (24); and upon further rotation of th...

Abstract

A single pill distributing cap has a movable part and a fixed part The fixed part is releasably attached onto a bottle and the movable part is rotationally attached to the fixed pan. The fixed part consists in a pill sorting chamber, and an exit chamber. The pill sorting chamber allows only one pill at a time to egress from the pill sorting chamber by way of a pill sorting chamber hole. Once a pill is out of the pill sorting chamber, upon continued rotation of the movable part, it aligns itself with the exit chamber. Once thus aligned, the pill drops into the exit chamber.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to distributing means but more particularly to a distributing means for pills and related medicine.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]There are many devices made for distributing pills. The most common being those packaging devices marked with the days of the week or the hours of the day so that a patient will know when to take his medication.[0003]There are also many complex devices for use by pharmacists in order to count pills. There are even coin counting machines that use some of the same features.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]It is a main advantage of this invention to provide for a simple to use and inexpensive device for distributing pills one at a time.[0005]In order to do so, the invention comprises a cap that fits over a standard pill bottle. The cap is adapted to distribute one pill at a time from a pill bottle.[0006]The cap has a fixed part that is adapted to screw onto the pill bottle; and a movable part...
