A two-piece measured-dose dispensing closure includes a cup-shaped measuring chamber and a rotatable dispensing control lid. In use, the dispensing control lid is axially moved relative to the measuring chamber by rotation between a first closed position, a second intermediate dispensing position, and a third drain position.

A multiple compartment container includes a push tab assembly having a series of push tabs connected together as a one-piece molded assembly. The container has lids that are molded in a single piece with the base of the container.

Methods of dispensing small piece goods include storing one or more small piece goods in a storage container for a storage and dispensing station, engaging a positioner of a retainer with a separating device to fix the retainer above a dispensing opening, securing, by a holder, the retainer against a concurrent rotation with the separating device. Also, aligning, by the holder, the retaining section with the dispensing opening, rotating the separating device within the housing to situate a first channel above the dispensing opening, preventing, via the retaining section, additional small piece goods from entering the first channel containing a first small piece good and dispensing the first small piece good through the dispensing opening. Methods of using a system for storage and dispensing of drug portions are also provided.

Storage containers are provided that include a housing having a dispensing opening for dispensing small piece goods, a separating device disposed in the housing and comprising at least one channel configured to receive at least one small piece good, and a holder configured to secure a retainer against a concurrent rotation with the separating device and to align the retainer with the dispensing opening by the holder interacting with the housing. Other storage containers and systems having storage containers are also provided.

The current disclosure is directed to a container with a dispensing schedule and, in various described implementations, to a container and a complementary cap that includes a dispensing schedule. During each dispensing cycle, which includes removing the cap from the container to allow access to the contents of the container and re-securing the cap to the container, the display schedule is automatically advanced to a next indication. In one implementation, the container is a bottle with a threaded neck and the cap is complementarily threaded and has a cylindrical rim and a schedule display. An indication on or within the schedule display is displayed through an aperture in the cap rim. Features included in the cap and the schedule display interoperate to ensure that the displayed indication is advanced to a next indication when the cap is unscrewed from, and subsequently threaded onto, the bottle.

A system and method for altering the scent within a pill organizer. The pill organizer has multiple pill compartments and a scent compartment within a container housing. One or more perforated walls separate the scent compartment from the various pill compartments. A scent source that releases scent is placed in the scent compartment. The scent permeates into the various pill compartments. When a pill compartment is accessed by a user, the predominant scent perceived by the user is that of the scent source. In this manner, the user is not dissuaded from consuming pills, soft gels, tablets, gummies and/or capsules due to the odors that such items may release. The scented source can be replaced and/or renewed within the pill organizer. As such, the effectiveness of the overall product can be maintained for the life of the product.

A medication packaging and dispensing system is provided. The system may include a plurality of medication booklets containing medication and a tray that is configured to retain the medication booklets. Each medication booklet may include a sequential tab assembly of pull tabs that aligns with a plurality of front cutouts and a plurality of back cutouts. This alignment configuration facilitates dispensing the medication from the medication booklet. The tray may include a riser that extends from a bottom wall of the tray at an oblique angle, and a first guide panel including a plurality of linear stops. The oblique angle may correspond to a pitch of the first guide panel. The riser and the plurality of linear stops may cooperate to maintain the medication booklets in a staggered configuration that is substantially parallel to the bottom wall of the tray. The system may further include a container for retaining the tray.

The present invention relates to a novel device for accommodating and storing blister packs, particularly pharmaceutical blisters, and for releasing a tablet or capsule from the blister pack using a means for punching the cover film of the blister.
