A pill crusher has an arm extending over and along an elongate base, with a pivotal connection between the base and one end of the arm. An upwardly open cylindrical housing on the base has a longitudinal axis perpendicular to the base and a compression spring in the cylindrical housing between a cylindrical anvil member and the base. Interengaged guide formations on the housing and the anvil member at opposite sides of the housing are inclined so as to cause rotational movement of the anvil member relative to the cylindrical housing on displacement of the anvil member along the longitudinal axis against the action of the spring; and a cylindrical pressure member depending from the arm above the cylindrical housing. In use, the rotational movement of the anvil member causes a pill to be both crushed and also simultaneously ground between the pressure and anvil members, which have serrated opposed faces to improve the grinding.

A pill crusher has a paper cup receptacle having an upwardly open, frusto-conical recess for receiving a paper cup, a plunger having a frusto-conical shape complimentary to that of the recess, the plunger being above and coaxial with the recess, an electric motor and a reciprocating drive transmission between the electric motor and the plunger for displacing the plunger into and out of the recess. The reciprocatory drive transmission comprises a worm and nut drive transmission for rotating the plunger while displacing the plunger into the receptacle. A drive control connected to the electric motor controls the motor so as to displace the plunger into and out of the recess.

A manually operable pill crusher device for use with pill pouches. A base includes a crushing surface over which a head is mounted. A handle is attached to a cam inside the head, and the head has a slot that permits the handle to move from a horizontal position to a vertical position. The cam is mounted inside a ram which slideably moves axially inside the head from a raised position in the head when the handle is vertical to a lowered position when the handle is horizontal. The ram includes a crushing surface engaging surface. The head also includes a slot through which a pill in a pouch can be inserted on to the crushing surface when the handle is raised. Lowering the handle then crushes the pill with axial force directly over the crushing surface, avoiding any cocking or arcuate pressure on the pill.

A pill crusher device and method including a base and a lid movable between open and closed positions with respect to the base. The base includes a pill cup holder for holding a cup with one or more pills therein. The cup may include a flange that is keyed to the cup holder to prevent the cup from rotating with the cup holder. A head protrudes from the inside surface of the lid and is shaped to nest within the cup either directly against the pills, or against a second cup placed in the first cup with the pills located between the two cups.

A pill crusher has a portable housing with a base to be supported on a surface and a top surface having a transverse slot opening into a holding container in the housing for one of more pills carried in a pouch. The pouch can be manually inserted through the slot until a bottom edge of the pouch sits on a base of the container. Two horizontally oriented and opposed solenoids are powered by rechargeable battery power in the housing and drive vertical crusher plates toward one another in the holding container to impact repeatedly, during depression by the operator of a manual switch, until the operator determines that the repeated impacting action has sufficiently crushed the pills in the pouch so that the pouch can be withdrawn through the top opening.

A removable pill crusher assembly for grinding pellets into grinds in a transportable housing is provided that is easy to operate, transportable and prevents cross contamination of medication. The removable pill crusher includes a hopper for receiving the pellets, a latching lid for securing the pellets in said hopper during operational usage, an at least one striking hammer positioned to strike the pellets when rotated through the hopper and a shaft for transporting the grinds from the hopper to a collection bin, where the collection bin is located at a bottom end of the shaft where the grinds are collectable within, creating a confined region and safe operation.
