ABSTRACT:
A tamperproof pill dispenser is disclosed which includes a housing (10) having a pill discharge outlet in the form of a cone (16). Above the discharge outlet is carried a dispensing plate (20) and a rotating dispensing wheel (24) having tablet openings (22, 26) formed therein. A dispensing latch (32) is slidably carried by the dispensing plate (20) and includes a second dispensing opening (34) which registers with the openings (26, 22) when moved to a dispense position in order to dispense a tablet from the reservoir (12) through the discharge outlet (16). A safety latch pin (50) engages a latch opening (58) in the dispensing latch (32) and includes a manual handle (54) disposed remotely from a finger tab (36) of the dispensing latch so as to disassociate simultaneous operation of the two. Diametrically opposed safety latches (82, 80) lock a threaded closure (14) in place on top of the housing. Simultaneous depression of safety latches (82, 80) and unthreading of the closure (14) are required in order to have access to the pill reservoir (12). Spacing of the safety latches (82, 80) impedes their operation by the hand of a small child or infant. An indexing groove (30) and follower pin (38) index the dispensing wheel (24) to bring a single tablet opening (26) through registration with the dispensing opening (22).
