Pill crusher and splitter

A pill crusher or splitter for crushing pills or tablets used for medical purposes comprising:

• a base;
• a plate attached to said base;
• a pair of pillars attached to said base opposite said plate;
• an anvil transversely fixed between said pair of pillars;
• an axle attached to said plate;
• a ring adapted to rotate about said axle, said ring having internal screw threads;
• a platen attached to external screw threads placed opposite said anvil, the external screw threads adapted to mate with the internal screw threads of said ring;
• and
• a lever attached to said ring,
• whereby when said lever is moved said ring rotates causing said platen to move towards said anvil crushing a pill placed there between.

A combination pill crusher and splitter comprising:

• a base;
• an anvil attached to said base;
• a platen placed adjacent said anvil;
• a screw assembly placed between said anvil and said platen;
• a lever attached to said screw assembly, whereby when said lever is moved said screw assembly causes said platen to move towards said anvil;
• and
• a pill splitter placed under said lever and positioned to contact an intermediate portion of said lever when said lever is moved,
• whereby movement of said lever performs the duel function of crushing a pill placed between said anvil and said platen and splits a pill placed in said pill splitter.

A combination pill crusher and splitter comprising:

• a base having a front end and a back end;
• a sunken area formed intermediate the front end and the back end;
• a pouch dispenser in the front end of said base;
• a pair of horizontal slide ways formed in the back end of said base;
• a pair of vertical slotted pillars formed on the back end of said base;
• a channeled plate attached to the back end of said base and positioned opposite said pair of vertical slotted pillars;
• an anvil adapted to fit between said pair of vertical slotted pillars and to be transversely fixed;
• a platen placed adjacent said anvil, said platen adapted to fit between said pair of horizontal slide ways and slide transversely therein;
• an external screw thread attached to said platen;
• a ring having an internal screw thread adapted to mate with said external screw thread;
• a bushing attached to said ring;
• a plate adapted to fit within said channeled plate
• an axle attached to said plate and adapted to receive said bushing;
• a lever attached to said ring and positioned over said sunken area, whereby when said lever is moved said ring rotates and the internal screw thread forces said external screw thread and said platen to move towards said anvil;
• a tray having a bottom placed in said sunken area;
• a plurality of V-shaped clamps formed in the bottom of said tray, the bottom having a slope towards a vertex of each of said plurality of V-shaped clamps;
• a cover adapted to fit over said tray;
• and
• a blade placed in said cutter and aligned to contact a pill placed in one of said plurality of V-shaped clamps,
• whereby movement of said lever performs the duel function of crushing a pill placed between said anvil and said platen and splits a pill placed in on of said plurality of V-shaped clamps.

A pill crusher and splitter comprising:

• a rectangular base having slide ways and slotted pillars;
• a pouch dispenser in a forward end of said rectangular base;
• a sunken area in a middle of said rectangular base;
• a screw assembly at a rear end of said rectangular base;
• a handle attached to said screw assembly;
• a platen sliding in the slide ways in said rectangular base and coupled to said screw assembly;
• and
• an anvil placed between the slotted pillars of said rectangular base,
• whereby when said handle rotates said screw assembly, said screw assembly causes said platen to move forward along the slide ways towards said anvil crushing a pill placed there between.
