ABSTRACT:
A device for cutting a pill in half is the subject of the present invention. A base member is provided with movable retaining plates to accommodate different size pills and is also slotted to allow a blade to pass through the pill without contacting the base member. The blade is held in a normally raised position by a return spring which is yieldable to accommodate downward movement of the blade. The blade moves in a vertical plane normal to the plane of the base to assure a positive cutting action. After the pill is cut the spring returns the blade to its raised position.
