  • Patent number: 4195734
    Abstract: A tray is provided with a display area and housing area, the display area having an array of grooves for reception of hypodermic syringes, and pockets for reception of oral medications. Medication card slots are provided adjacent the grooves and pockets. A vertical wall is provided facing the needle end of syringes to prevent them from accidentally falling off the edge of the tray, and to prevent accidental brushing against the needles by the tray user or passerby. The housing portion includes a used cotton and swab receiver pocket, and a door-covered syringe receiver chamber having a sloped bottom and manually operable, when desired, to dump used syringes into a suitable final disposal container without again handling them. The tray may be made of a single piece of formable or moldable material such as plastic or metal, for example, and the door may be made of plastic or metal to best suit the circumstances.
