Abstract
A dispensing container for dispensing a plurality of different types of items, e.g., vitamins. The container is constructed to include a jar and a releasably securable lid. The jar includes vertically disposed and radially extending partitions to establish a plurality of separate chambers, each adapted for storing a different type or a combination of items. The jar portion further includes a plurality of passages, with each passage being in communication with a respective chamber. The lid includes a downwardly extending sidewall having a dispensing slot located therein. The lid is releasably and rotatably secured to an upper portion of the jar by an annular projection on the sidewall of the jar which engages an annular recess on the inside of the sidewall of the lid. Accordingly, as the lid is manually rotated, the dispensing slot can be brought to overlie a respective passage in the jar portion to permit the dispensing of an item from the associated chamber. The lid further includes parallel ribs, which engage a portion of the jar to align the dispensing slot with respective passages.
