ABSTRACT:
A tamper-proof pill dispenser consisting of a circular base, a circular cover, a retaining member and two pawl springs, with pills being housed into a plurality of pill seating depressions located into the top surface of the base, and the cover having a dispensing hole located to line up with the pill seating depressions in the base. The pawl springs are located between the base and cover. One pawl spring working with a plurality of sawtooth notches allows one way rotation of the cover with the dispensing hole stopping over each pill seating depression. After the cover rotates over the last pill seating depression the other pawl spring snaps into a notch preventing the cover from any further rotation. The dispenser is permanently sealed by the retaining member which is mounted above the cover. Pills are dispensed from the dispenser by rotating the dispensing hole to register with the next in series pill, and then by turning the dispenser upside down the pill in register drops through the dispensing hole.
