ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In particular, though not exclusively, the invention is usefully applied for pharmaceutical containers for dispensing pills, capsules and the like which are destined to be used in automatised container dispensers installed in hospitals. One of the main problems encountered in these dispensers concerns how to make the numerous types of containers simple and rapid to obtain for authorised personnel only, whether the containers are empty (i.e. to be filled) or already full.
The prior art does not teach any solution to this problem which combines sufficient security against abuse by non-authorised persons with a satisfactory simplicity not only with regard to construction, but also and especially concerning the simplicity or practicalness of use by authorised personnel.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The main aim of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned lacks in the prior art by providing a security closure for lidded containers which is constructionally simple and easy to use.
An advantage of the present invention consists in its easy applicability to containers already in use.
These aims and advantages and more besides are all attained by the present invention, as it is characterised in the appended claims.
