Definitions
- ABSTRACT A pill or tablet dispensing container is presented which includes a closure which dispenses only one table! at a time and is very difficult for an uninstructed child to operate while simple for an adult to use.
- the container is first inverted and held in that position to allow a tablet to enter a chamber in the rotary member in the cap which is then rotated against a torsion spring until the tablet-containing chamber becomes aligned with an outlet in the cap and the tablet falls out.
- the cap is free to turn all of the way around with respect to the container and must be held with the hand and fingers along with the container to prevent any rotation between them while the rotor is moved into position with the thumb.
- the closure for the container provide for the dispensing of one or more tablets at a time depending upon the quantity required for a single dose.
- a number of dispensing closures have been presented in the art which dispense tablets according to dose but yet lack the feature of a childproof" closure as well.
- Applicants invention has improved on this art and presents a dispensing closure which is at the same time very resistant to opening by small children principally because of the freely turning cap which must be held still with respect to the container while a thumbpiece is moved to permit passage of a tablet from the container, all of this being done while the container is inverted. Such a combination of actions is not likely to be tried by a small child.
- an object of the present invention to provide a dispensing closure for a pill or tablet container which dispenses a single dose of one or more tablets and is very resistant to opening by a child yet is easily operated by an adult.
- FIG. I is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the closure and its associated container with the closure in its unopened or closed position and with the cap in place on the container;
- FIG. 2 is a view taken on section 22 looking downward on the rotor with the rotor in its normal or unopened position;
- FIG. 3 is a partially cutaway view looking down on the top of the cap and showing its port and the slot in its skirt;
- FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view of the upper portion of the container and closure taken on section 44;
- FIG. 5 is an external view of a portion of the closure and container showing the slot in the cap and the plug lug and thumbpiece therein;
- FIG. 6 is an exploded view of the various parts in their relative positions before assembly.
- a cylindrical container 10 containing medicinal pills or tablets 11 is fitted with a closure cap 12 which includes a flat circular top and an annular skirt 12a having an annular lip 12b on its inner periphery.
- lip 12b fits within an annular groove 13 on container 10 and is free to slide in it in an annular direction so that the whole cap 12 can be rotated freely with respect to container 10.
- Disposed between cap 12 and the rim of container 10 are two separate members comprising a rotor 14 and a tablet guide or plug 15.
- Guide or plug 15 is substantially dome-shaped with the dome extended into the container in the manner shown in FIG.
- flange 15a there is a tablet port or slot 16 which extends through flange 15a, and is sized so as to allow just one tablet to pass easily through it at a time. It is located at the lower end of a helical ramp 17 which is wound or formed upon the dome of plug 15 and leads downwardly to slot 16 in the manner shown in the drawings particularly in FIG. 6.
- Rotor 14 Atop the flange 15a of plug 15 and between it and cap 12, is interposed rotor 14 which is free to rotate by sliding in rotary fashion upon both flange 15a and the inner face of cap 12 and is restrained only from lateral movement by the annular skirt of cap 12.
- Rotor 14 has a cut out portion or chamber 21 in its periphery as shown in FIG. 1 which serves in cooperation with flange l5 and cap 12 as a tablet receiving chamber, and a tab or thumbpiece 18 extends outwardly from rotor 15 through a slot 19 in the annular skirt of cap 12 as shown in FIG. 3 and is provided with grooves or knurlings 18a on its exterior end to serve as a non-skid surface.
- Cap 12 has a tablet dispensing port or opening 20 in its upper face adjacent to its annular side and which is adapted to be brought into register with tablet chamber 21 upon rotation of rotor 14 to that location as will be explained later.
- Flange 15a of plug 15 includes an integral projection or lug 22 which extends outwardly in FIG. 4 into the lower part of slot 19 in the skirt of the rim of the cap 12 between rotor 14 and the upper rim of container 10.
- Lug 22 is substantially co-extensive in length with the slot 19 and fits in it closely to prevent rotation of plug 15 with respect to cap 12.
- Plug 22 is unattached to con- 3 tainer and will rotate freely with respect to it with any rotational movement of cap 12.
- a torsion bar spring 23 is provided which extends from a fixed position push fit in the center of rotor 14 to a fixed position push fit inside the center of dome piece as shown in FIG. 1. It is intended that bar spring 23 be made of plastic having resilient qualities which will cause it to return to its original shape after it has been twisted as much as a quarter of a turn but other materials such as various spring metals including, but not limited to, stainless steel could be used so long as they are compatible with the material of the cap and other parts and the container and its contents.
- the cap 12, rotor 14, spring 23 and domed guide plug 15 are first assembled by placement of the rotor 14 in cap 12 with the thumbpiece 18 extended outward through slot 19.
- the opening or port 20 of cap 12 becomes aligned with chamber of rotor 14 when thumbpiece 18 is as far as it will go in one direction to assume a first or open position and is completely blocked by cap 12 when the thumbpiece 18 is moved as far as it will go in the opposite direction to a second or closed position
- Spring 23 is then pushed into place in rotor 14 and will stay in place therein becuase of the push fit.
- Tablet guide plug 15 is then centered over rotor 14 and the free end of spring 23 is located in position in its receiving slot inside the dome and is pushed into place therein.
- guide 15 is rotated sufficiently with respect to cap 12 to bring thumbpiece 18 as far as it will travel in slot 19 to its original position against its stop i.e., the end of slot 19, and then is rotated slightly more to twist spring 23 sufficiently to force thumbpiece 18 lightly against its stop so that it will remain there unless moved by the thumb in the opposite direction.
- lug 22 of plug 22 will fit into slot 19 to prevent relative rotation between cap 12 and plug 22 as previously de scribed herein.
- container 10 is filled with pills or tablets 11 along with a moisture absorber such as a cotton wad at the bottom of container 10, and the entire assembly just described above is then placed on its open top and pushed down upon it until lip 12b of cap 12 snaps in place in its mating groove 13 in container 10 and thus retains the whole assembly to container 10 but leaves it free to rotate thereon.
- the skirt 12a of cap 12 can be slit longitudinally in one or more locations to facilitate this installation by allowing the skirt 12a to spread sufficiently to allow it to be forced over the rim of container 10 until it reaches groove 13.
- cap 12 is now almost impossible to remove without considerable prying and possible breakage yet is entirely free to rotate with respect to container 10 and cannot be removed by ordinary rotary unscrewing, pulling or lifting motions. Also, no pill or tablet can fall out or be removed by any such motions without a further combination of motions as described below. Since these are not the motions which an uninstructed child would be likely to make in attempting to open the container or to get a pill out of it, it is apparent that this is a very child resistant feature.
- the container In order for a pill or tablet to be released from the container 10, the container is first inverted upon which action a tablet falls on the dome of guide piece 15, is guided into the space between it and rolls or slides down helical guide track 17 which leads it directly to port 16 in flange 15a. The tablet cannot pass through port 16 since it is blocked by the solid portion of rotor 14.
- the user grasps the container 10 and the cap 12 with the hand and fingers to prevent their relative rotation then moves thumbpiece or knob 18 as far as it can go in slot 19 in the only direction in which it can go (its second position). This action further twists spring 23 and brings chamber 21 of rotor 14 into register or alignment with port 16 and the tablet falls into chamber 21, its other side being blocked by cap 12.
- Thumbpiecc 18 is then released rotor 14 is returned under the biasing action of spring 23 to its original or first position carrying the tablet around with it and bringing chamber 21 and dispensing port 20 into the users hand. The operation must be repeated by full movement ofthe rotor 14 through another complete cycle in order for the user to obtain another tablet.
- a dispenser container for tablets comprising, in combination, a container having a circular open end and a closed end, a guide plug freely rotatable in said open end and closing said open end except for a port extending through said plug and sized to permit passage therethrough of one tablet at a time, a dome on said plug extended into the interior of said container, a helical ramp on said dome leading to the port in the plug, a rotor rotatably mounted in juxtaposition to said plug and including a chamber adapted to receive a tablet, means including a thumbpiece for rotating said rotor from a first position with respect to the plug where said chamber and said port are sufficiently in register to permit passage of a tablet therebetween to a second posicome into register with the chamber in the rotor only when the rotor is moved to the second position and sufficiently in register to allow passage of a tablet therebetween, and a torsion bar spring extended between the rotor and the plug and non-rotatably mounted in each of them with the spring biasing the rotor
