Abstract: A modular dispenser includes a cartridge configured to hold a plurality of pills. A dispensing base is configured to removably receive the cartridge. The dispensing base includes a funnel with a funnel inlet proximate the opening of the cartridge and a funnel outlet spaced apart from the funnel inlet. A drawer is configured to receive the at least one pill from the funnel outlet in a well and is configured to be slidably received within the dispensing base. A metering flap may be movably positioned between the funnel outlet and the well of the drawer. The metering flap is pivotably coupled to at least one of the funnel and the dispensing base and may be configured to one of a) at least partially block and b) fully block the funnel outlet when the drawer is slidably extended away from the dispensing base.

Abstract: A modular dispenser includes a cartridge configured to hold a plurality of pills. The cartridge includes an opening through which the at least one pill is configured to pass under an influence of gravity. A dispensing base is configured to removably receive the cartridge. The dispensing base includes a funnel with a funnel inlet proximate the opening of the cartridge and a funnel outlet spaced apart from the funnel inlet. A dispensing assembly is rotatably coupled to the dispensing base. The dispensing base also includes a catch configured to receive the at least one pill when the catch is proximate the funnel outlet and rotate away from the funnel outlet to a position from which the at least one pill is retrievable by a user.
