  • Patent number: 4015717
    Abstract: A tablet package for use in chronologically dispensing tablets includes a sheet of material having pockets therein for receiving tablets, a frangible closure layer secured to the sheet of material to enclose the tablets and a plurality of time related indicia disposed on the closure layer associated with each tablet and aligned with the pockets such that dispensing of a tablet ruptures the closure layer to obliterate the indicia associated with that tablet. The tablet package is particularly useful with a tablet dispenser formed of a housing including a body having a dispensing opening therein and a cover pivotally connected with the body and carrying an ejector tab aligned with the dispensing opening, the tablet package being disposed in the body.
