ABSTRACT:
A dial pill box comprises a container having 28 arcuate storage compartments for pills and the like, a pair of lids, and a central pivot pin which pivotably holds together the container and the lids. The pivot pin enables the containers to be assembled by snapping the lids onto the container and over the pivot pin and to be disassembled by pinching together the resiliently bifurcated ends of the pivot pin and pushing these ends toward the lids and through their central holes. After removing both lids, a user can fill the container with a week's supply of pills, capsules, tablets, and the like of pharmaceuticals, vitamins, and/or minerals. He can spin the upper lid independently of the lower lid in one direction, so that none of the four segment apertures in the upper lid coincide with the access sector of the lower lid, whereby the dial pill box is in position for storage and transportation. By spinning both lids together in the opposite direction, the user can place the access sector in the lower lid over a selected storage sector, having four storage compartments, which is marked for the desired day of the week. By then spinning the upper lid again in the first direction, he can spirally place a selected segment aperture, corresponding to the selected time of day, over the access sector and then remove the pills therefrom.
