  • Patent number: 5011032
    Abstract: A solid dosage unit dispenser closure cap suitable for use by sight-impaired persons and/or persons with physical incapability to unscrew caps of prescription bottles or containers having a lid integrally attached an annular skirt by a living hinge, wherein the lid has a tab to enable the patient to open the cap easily without twisting. In addition the container for the medicine has a ring attached thereto and to the inner surface of the skirt at the inside near the opening thereof. The ring has an opening sufficiently large to allow only one or perhaps two dosage units to be spilled out by the patient at one time, in addition the ring has a slide attached thereto which can be moved by the patient circumferentially on the ring to stop at indicia on the top of the ring which reminds the patient which dose was last taken or which dose is yet to be taken. A window on the top leg of the slide permits viewing or feeling the indicia.
