Pill bottle

Abstract

A child-resistant pill bottle combines the child resistance of a “push and turn” pill bottle and the compliance feature of a pill tray. The pill bottle includes a container for holding medication, a pill tray formed to fit either within the container or integrated into the container, and a lid, which traps the pill tray within the container.
