ABSTRACT:
A lockable pill container includes a main body defining a plurality of compartments, and a plurality of lid members that are moveable relative to the compartments between a closed position at least partially covering an opening into the compartments and an open position. Each lid member includes a first engagement member that extends into the main body when the lid member is in the closed position. The container also includes an elongate second engagement member configured to move between a first position engaging the first engagement members and a second position disengaged from the first engagement members. A biasing member is positioned between a first end of the second engagement member and the main body to provide a biasing force that biases the second engagement member into the first position. The second engagement member also includes a contact surface at a second end thereof for engagement by a user to move the second locking member against the biasing force.
