Abstract

The present invention is directed to a container for dispensing tablets in a non-reversing manner. The container includes a main container body, an actuator disk and a stop. The main container body is adapted to receive at least one stack of tablets and has an operating orifice and at least one annularly located ejection post. It is adapted to receive and rotatably hold the actuator disk so as to render it rotatable about a central axis. The actuator disk has a first recess which form a complete annulus about the central axis and is coincidental to and mates with the ejection post. The actuator disk also has a recess of width and depth sufficient to receive a predetermined number of one or more tablets, which has an inward end which is at least coincidental with the dispensing orifice when located thereunder and an outward end which is open for tablet dispensing. The container also includes a stop to assure that said actuator disk can only be rotated in one direction.
