Pill container

Abstract

A pill container has a body with a plurality of separate compartments with each compartment having an opening to provide access into the separate compartments. A plurality of lids are attached to the body over the openings wherein each lid has an open position providing access to a selected one or more of the compartments. The lids also have a closed position preventing access to a selected one or more of the compartments. Each lid has a latching mechanism for maintaining the lids in the closed position. An unlocking mechanism is movable to a position to unlock a selected one or more of the lids so that the unlocked lids may be opened, while one or more of the remaining lids are maintained in the closed position.

1 . A lockable pill container, comprising: 
 a container body defining a plurality of separate compartments, each having an open top;    a lid member associated with each of the compartments, each lid member being sized and constructed to overlie the open top of the associated compartments;    a hinge connecting each lid member to the container body and supporting the lid members for hinged movement between open and closed positions;    a latch member carried on each lid member positioned to engage an associated catch formed on the container body when the lid members are moved to the clearest positions for releasably locking the lid members individually in the closed positions; and    an unlatching mechanism slidably supported on the container body and moveable there along into engagement with a selected one of the latch members to forcibly urge such latch member toward an unlatched condition to enable a user to open such lid member and gain access to a selected one of the compartments without necessarily opening all of the lid members of the pill container.
