Abstract: A closure for a rigid or deformable container. The contents of the container are protected by a seal. The closure has a bottom part and a cap fixed thereon by a hinge. The lower part is closed by a cover face, through which only a pouring spout extends. A tear-off element is positioned on an underside of the cap in such a way that it extends through the pouring spout as far as the seal located below it. The tear-off element is in active contact with the seal, for example, it is bonded or glued to it. At the time of a first opening, the tear-off element pulls the seal upwards, which is simultaneously broken by a cutting element below the pouring spout. Such closures are structurally simple in their manufacture as well as in operation and can be attached to various types of containers.

Abstract: A pill dispenser having two cylindrical main components that fit into one another, an inner concentric wall and an outer concentric wall displaceable relative to one another in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the pill dispenser. The outer concentric wall or the inner concentric wall has at least one recess and a counterpart is positioned on the other concentric wall so that the one main component of the pill dispenser is moveable within the recess upon actuation of the pill dispenser whenever the two main components are aligned in a suitable angular position with respect to one another.
