ABSTRACT:
A conventional closure or cap for a tablet-container is formed to have a recess of predetermined depth and shape to loosely receive therein a tablet preferably provided on at least one side with a stress-raising notch or score mark, so that the application of a lateral force on an upper portion of the tablet by a finger or thumb of the user will cause the tablet to break approximately along a plane extending across the tablet from the bottom of the stress-raising notch. In another aspect of the invention, the tablet preferably provided on at least one side with a stress-raising notch or score mark is laid with the notch downward into a recess provided with a partial movable base so that the application of force on the exposed surface of the tablet by a finger or thumb of the user causes the tablet to be supported close to its ends to thereby experience a break at the notch.
