ABSTRACT:
A pill-splitting implement or tool having self-centering means for positioning a pill in desired alignment with the path of movement of a pill-engaging projection in the form of a blade, wedge or edge. The projection is movably associated with the pill-holding structure, which preferably retains the pill in an elevated position above a support base to provide a clearance space or area underlaying the pill to enhance clean, sharp splitting of the pill. The pill holding means is preferably of a resilient character to accommodate and yield to the displacement of the pill during the splitting or dividing operation.
