Abstract

A method and apparatus for providing a multi-time indicating container, closure, and pill cup separator, comprising a common post manufactured container, with a round upper portion such as a round neck or a round body. The container further comprises a newly added rotatable pointer which is attached around the upper round portion of the container. The pointer can be attached to any post manufactured container with an upper round portion. The container further includes indicia which is applied around the upper portion of the container just below the rotatable pointer. The container further includes a post manufactured, separable double closure, which is separated using a double closure separator comprising a locking C-clamp having one standard round clamping tip and one newly added separator wedge blade tip. Separation of the closures allows time indicating indicia to be applied to the inner threaded closure side wall and enables installation of a view hole in the outer closure side wall, prior to rejoining the closures. A post manufactured independent miniature pill cup separator includes thin annular rim adapted to rest on the rim of the main container, and a closure-less pill cup separator body extending from the annular rim and disposed inside the container body. The pill cup separator is a top-less secondary container, and is sealed when the threaded inner closure is joined to the container body. The pill cup separator is used to separate a predetermined number of dosages from the main supply of pill dosages.
