Abstract:

Pill dispensing container with an outer housing, a pill holding chamber, a pill pulling member, a pill catch cup, an activation button, a vertical activation arm, a vertical locking post, a horizontal locking pin, a locking spring, a pill push spring, and a pill chamber closure. Pills are stacked in the chamber and held by the spring and closure cap. The user presses on the activation button causing the pinned activation arm to rotate and causing the pill pulling member to slide one pill over so that can exit through an aperture in the housing bottom. The locking pin prevents accidental dispensing. The pill drops into the catch cup which can be tilted to let the pill fall into the user's hand.
