ABSTRACT:
A dispenser of dispensing tablets one at a time which includes a feature which prevents children from dispensing tablets. The dispenser has a reservoir and a moving slider member that can be moved from a non-dispensing position to a dispensing position, after an locking pin or detent is unlocked. The unlocking pin or detent is mounted on a movable thumbpad, which requires the application of upward force to unlock the locking pin or detent from a locking hole or recess. The slider member has a chamber which holds only one tablet, which chamber moves from a position where the tablet is blocked from dropping from the chamber to a position where the chamber is aligned with a dispensing opening. In the dispensing position, the tablet in the chamber is dispensed, whereas the remaining tablets in the dispenser prevented from entering the chamber by a wall on the slider member.
