A flow-limiting device that controls the distribution of unitary products from a container for holding said unitary products includes at least one dispensing opening, a body made of a polymeric material with an entry side, a dispensing side and a peripheral side extending in an axial direction of the body. The peripheral side has a lower and an upper axial end, the entry side has at least in part, a concave shape when viewed onto the entry side with at least one guiding surface. The dispensing side has at least in part, a concave shape when viewed onto the dispensing side. The dispensing opening is at an axial position between and spaced from the axial positions of the lower and upper axial end, wherein the entry side and/or the dispensing side include a plurality of elevated regions, which are arranged to define the concave shape.

A pill container and dispenser includes pill dispenser cap having a rotatable carousel with a pill receiving chamber. The carousel is rotatable between a position in which the chamber receives pills from a storage component of the pill dispenser, and a position in which the pill can be dispensed from the chamber to a user. The pill dispenser includes systems for detecting the dispensing of the pill, and systems for recording and/or reporting pill dispensing events to a mobile device or remote server to allow compliance tacking.

Storage containers for a storage and dispensing station for a blister packaging machine include a separating device having dispensing channels for receiving at least one small piece good and above each dispensing channel a recess with a wall, which recess is adapted to a small piece good to be separated. A retaining device includes a retaining portion, the retaining portion being retained above a dispensing opening in the storage container, wherein the retaining portion is elastically deformable such that a small piece good arranged above a dispensing channel aligned with the dispensing opening is pressed against the wall of the corresponding recess and prevented from entering the dispensing channel aligned with the dispensing opening. Methods for separating small piece goods in a storage container are also provided.

A dispenser assembly having a container and an insert secured within the container. The insert includes a product cartridge defining a product containing space and a dispensing body having a dispenser receptacle. The product containing space has a first opening through which product exits, and the dispenser receptacle has a second opening at least partially offset from the first opening through which product enters the dispenser receptacle. The dispenser assembly further includes a push-button assembly attacked to the insert, including a button that moves between first and second positions. The button has an orifice defined therein in communication with one of the first or second openings when in the first position and with the other of the first or second openings when in the second position, such that the button permits transmittal of product between the first and second openings when moved between the first and second positions.

A product dispensing clock includes a housing and a reservoir arranged in the housing. The reservoir holds a number of dispensable products. A dispenser is arranged in the housing adjacent the reservoir. The dispenser receives at least one of the dispensable products from the reservoir. A collection chamber is defined in the housing. The dispenser dispenses the dispensable products received from the reservoir to the collection chamber for a user to collect the dispensable products. A controller activates the dispenser at a predetermined time interval to dispense the dispensable products to the collection chamber for collection by the user.
