ABSTRACT:
A tablet or capsule dispenser includes a neck member (12) for forming an entrance through which tablets or capsules to be dispensed must pass to get to laterally-positioned delivery compartments (28) downstream thereof. A baffle member (14) is affixed to the neck member for defining baffle openings (42) which are aligned with each of the delivery compartments (28). A one-way rotary carousel member (16), positioned between the stationary baffle member (14) and the delivery compartments (28), has a rotating opening (50) therein which, when aligned with the delivery compartments allows tablets or capsules therein to be dispensed. The rotating opening includes a radial wall (54) at a trailing edge of the rotating opening for contacting a tablet or capsule located in a delivery compartment to thereby prevent further rotation of the carousel member unless the tablet or capsule in the compartment is dispensed and an internal wall (52) at an internal edge of the rotating opening to isolate tablets and capsules at the delivery compartment from tablets and capsules passing through the delivery opening. The carousel member is rotated relative to the container and its neck portion by means of a transparent cap apparatus (18) which has male threads (74) for engaging female threads (76) on the carousel member (16) and which has floating safety female threads (66) for engaging male threads (32) on the outer surface of the container neck member.
