ABSTRACT:
An easy-to-open article dispenser preferably made of readily moldable plastic and comprising a container member having a chamber for containing a plurality of articles such as vitamin pills and having a dispenser portion, the article dispenser also comprising a dispenser control member adapted for slideable engagement with the dispenser portion whereby to selectively place a first dispenser aperture in communication with a port or second aperture for opening the dispenser. A plurality of embodiments are disclosed. Some embodiments provide for axial motion and some provide for rotational motion of the dispenser control member relative to the dispenser portion of the container member. A particularly timely improvement relates to a tamper-evident feature which makes it virtually impossible for anyone to tamper with the contents of the dispenser without such tampering being immediately discernible to the user. A rotational motion version of this tamper-resistant feature provides aligned arrows or other indicia when the dispenser control member is first placed onto the dispenser. Only if such indicia are not aligned at the time of purchase, is it possible for someone to have gained unauthorized access to the contents of the dispenser. Only after the indicia alignment is confirmed by the user, does the user place the dispenser in a normal open and close mode of operation.
