A kit and a systematic method for alerting emergency responders of an exact location in which they have been dispatched. The system includes a container for holding medication, a strobe light and indicia for signaling the emergency responders as they approach the dispatched location. The container includes a removable seal and a hinged cap for accessing an interior volume thereof. A desiccant is secured to the bottom of the container for absorbing moisture. The kit may be powered via a solar power assembly. Further, the strobe light can be remotely activated via a conspicuous lighted button. In operation, the indicia is positioned on the exterior of a residence that indicates the user's address. As a user feels an onset of a heart attack or other emergency, then takes the medication, dials 9-1-1 immediately, unlocks the door and activates the strobe light.

A device for sequentially dispensing individual objects includes a housing having a first housing portion which is conically-shaped. The first housing portion has a first end proximate a supply of objects and a second end proximate a location where the objects are to be dispensed. There is a spiral race, disposed on an interior surface of the first housing portion and extending from the first end to the second end of the first housing portion, along which the objects to be dispensed travel.

A package includes a container formed to include an interior product-storage region and a closure. The closure is coupled to the container selectively to allow access to the product stored in the interior product-storage region.

A tablet feeder comprises a device body, a plurality of tablet cassettes disposed on one face of the device body 1 in a vertical direction, each tablet cassette accommodating a plurality of tablets by kind, and a plurality of chutes disposed on one face of the device body 1 in a vertical direction and shifted in a horizontal direction, the chutes temporarily storing the tablets dispensed from the tablet cassette and having the dispensing portion at the downward portion thereof, the dispensing portion being capable of dispensing the tablets to a bottomed cylindrical tablet container.

An apparatus for dispensing small objects is disclosed. The apparatus includes a frame forming an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The frame supports a rotatable barrel that is disposed between the chambers. The barrel is constructed from a folded rectangular sheet that forms a chamber with an opening. The rotatable barrel is oriented with the opening facing upward to receive objects from the upper chamber into the barrel's chamber, such that when the handle is rotated about a horizontal axis the barrel turns to orient the opening downward and deposit objects in the barrel's chamber into the lower chamber.

A device including a portable frame, comprising a tray and a lid that closes upon the tray, and multiple cavities formed in the tray and configured to receive a container is provided. The cavities are arranged in a pattern according to a dosage dispense sequence for a medication from the container, and to a type of a medication to be dispensed from the container; and a marking along a side of the pattern, the marking indicative of the dosage dispense sequence corresponding to one or more cavities aligned with the marking in the pattern. A method for using the above device to dispense medication to a patient is also provided.

A refrigerated dispensing system is provided including an outer refrigerator cabinet and an interior, removable chassis that mounts a plurality of separately removable product storage and dispensing cartridges. While individual cartridges are removably positionable within slots on one or more shelves inside of the chassis, the entire chassis (with cartridges positioned thereon) may be removed from the outer refrigerator cabinet, as may be desirable in the event of a loss of power to the outer refrigerator cabinet. The shelves are preferably of a modular and reconfigurable design, thus allowing portions of the chassis (e.g., individual shelves or portions thereof) to be modified or replaced with alternative shelving or other storage devices to meet the current refrigerated product storage needs of any particular facility.
