Abstract: A pill bottle that includes a first annular wall disposed within an interior portion of the bottle has an outer surface with a plurality of circumferentially spaced, vertically oriented ribs that project outwardly from that surface. A second annular wall is disposed within the interior portion of the bottle in enclosing relation to the first annular wall. The outer and inner surface of the second annular wall undulate so as to define series of troughs and ridges. An adjacent pair of the ribs is located in spaced confronting relation to each of the troughs so as to define a plurality of pill wells. Each pill is arranged and oriented so as to be “on-end” within the bottle. A method is provided for dispensing pills from a bottle.

Abstract: A blister card container includes a plurality of walls defining an opening and a chamber, an arm projecting into the chamber, and a yoke. The opening and chamber are sized and configured to receive at least a portion of a blister card therein. The yoke is sized and configured to be slidably received in the chamber. The yoke includes a body, a hook extending from the body, and a locking cantilever extending from the body. The hook is sized and configured to engage the blister card. The locking cantilever has a stop sized and configured to be releasably engaged with the arm. The yoke is in a locked position when the locking cantilever is engaged with the arm.

Abstract: A pill bottle for housing a blister card that includes a top section, a bottom section, and a center section connected by a pair of hinges. The top section and bottom section each include one half of a child-resistant neck. One half of the neck including a member that can be rotated while being connected to a knob having a hook on a bottom surface. The other half of the neck has two stacked platforms with one of the platforms having a slot and an opening. The hook lines up with and enters the opening to lock the pill bottle closed unless the knob is pressed so the hook drops too low for the opening and then rotated so the hook can slide out of the slot. This allows the top and bottom sections to open and reveal a blister card attached to the center section of the pill bottle.

Abstract: A case for receiving and dispensing pills, having an optional top cover having a forward edge and a rearward edge, an optional bottom cover having a forward edge and a rearward edge, a spine extending between the top cover and the bottom cover, to which the top cover and the bottom cover are affixed at the rearward edges thereof, and at least one sleeve containing a plurality of pills secured within the sleeve and adapted to be dispensed therefrom, the sleeve having a forward edge and a rearward edge and being attached to the spine at the rearward edge thereof between the top cover and the bottom cover.

Abstract: A medication container holder for holding at least one medication container includes at least one base having a forward end and a rear end with the base being slanted upwardly from the forward end to the rear end, and each base comprising a plurality of spaced-apart medication container holding spaces for removably holding a medication container. The plurality of medication container holding spaces are arranged successively beginning from the forward end to the rear end of the base, and adapted so that each of the successive medication containers placed in the spaced-apart medication container holding spaces formed by the slanted base is elevated relative to the preceding medication container held in a preceding medication container holding space to yield a tiered arrangement. The bases may employ an interlocking mechanism to enable bases to be removably attached to each other.
