Abstract: A container with a strip of continuous premoisturized swabs therein, each swab being rectangular and interconnected with adjacent swabs at their respective corners. The swabs are folded only at their interconnection location and stacked one on top of the other. The container has an end face with an opening, through which a portion of the uppermost swab extends. The container also has a lid to protect the portion of the uppermost swab extending through the opening. Each swab is removable individually by pulling vertically on the portion of the uppermost swab until it tears at the interconnection location with the successive swab, because of frictional resistance generated by accumulation of the successive swab in the opening being greater than the tear strength of the interconnection location.

Abstract: An indicator for taking medication having a first plate with a background color and at least one colored portion of a different color, a second plate independently movable on the front face and having a images formed so that the colored portion is visible through at least one of them so as to form a plurality of indicator positions. The plates are movable relative to one another and releasably fixable in each of the indicator positions in which the colored portion is visible through a respective one of the images. In addition, the center area of the plate may have its own images and be independently movable relative to a surrounding outer ring. Further, a pill dispenser with a plurality of radial grooves containing pills may be attached under the second plate. The first and second plates have openings; when they are aligned, any pill within the corresponding groove may be removed.
