Patent number: 9739083Abstract: The present invention is a preferably rectangular sturdy, yet plastic, compartment or safe, small enough to fit inside a medicine cabinet, but large enough to house pill bottles and other medications. The safe has an openable and lockable front door that preferably comprises the safe's front wall. The safe also has laterally expandable side wings that also can be reduced inwardly to the width of the safe or expand beyond this size to contact and grip the interior sidewalls of the medicine cabinet. The wings are able to be locked in the chosen position. They are also preferably shaped to secure themselves and the safe inside a medicine cabinet. The safe door and the wings are lockable by a number of mechanisms, most preferably via a wireless signal transmitted from a device controlled by a local wireless network or internet enabled device. The wings and the front door are meant to lock and unlock together for security.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2015Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: Solo Technology Holdings, LLCInventor: Jeffrey Hermann
