Abstract

The cylindrical pill dispenser has two main constituents which have concentric walls (1, 2) and are displaceable relative to each other in the longitudinal direction. <??>The inner concentric wall (2) has at least one recess (3), in which an inwardly directed counter-piece (4) on the inside surface of the outer concentric wall (2) fits. The two concentric walls (1, 2) have the correct angular position relative to each other and the pill dispenser can be actuated only when the counter-piece (4) is aligned precisely above the recess (3). Upon actuation in a different relative angular position of the two main constituents, the counter-piece (4) strikes against the upper edge (5) of the inner concentric wall (2). The pill dispenser is thus child-resistant. <IMAGE>
