Abstract: A holder for pills, capsules and similar uniformly shaped objects for dispensing said objects one by one. A hollow inner tube has an open bottom for receiving the objects and a closed top for limiting axial movement thereof. A hollow outer tube has a spring affixed to a closed bottom and receives the inner tube, the spring biasing the objects upwardly. A dispensing mechanism in a cylindrical casing is affixed to the upper end of the outer tube. The dispensing mechanism operates through diametrically opposed slots in the periphery of the inner tube to dispense the objects one by one. The unit is arranged so that with minor modification a variety of sizes and shapes of objects can be dispensed.
