Abstract
A child-proof pill dispenser sealed against contamination is disclosed in the illustrative embodiments. The dispenser includes a pair of relatively rotatable members, which are normally prevented from rotation by axially biased teeth. A force applied against the bias disengages the teeth and permits the members to rotate. Rotation of the members opens a passage for automatic delivery of a pill. The pill is delivered from a storage compartment through an encircled passage into one of the hands required for operating the dispenser. The dispenser has a compression seal between the members for preventing contamination.
