Pill dispenser

A pill dispenser, comprising:

• a base having a lower wall and a plurality of radially extending inner walls mounted on an upper surface of the lower wall, the plurality of radially extending inner walls defining a plurality of pill-receiving compartments therebetween, the base having a plurality of peripheral walls on the upper surface of the lower wall, each of the peripheral walls partially extending between an adjacent pair of the plurality of radially extending inner walls to define an access opening therebetween, a locking recess being further defined in the base, a central hub being further mounted on the upper surface of the lower wall of the base, an axial bore being formed therethrough;
• a cover rotatably mounted to the base, the cover having an upper wall and a circumferential sidewall extending from a lower surface of the upper wall, an opening being formed in the circumferential sidewall;
• a shaft being centrally mounted on the lower surface of the upper wall of the cover, the shaft being received within the axial bore of the base;
• means for rotatably securing the cover to the base;
• and
• means for selectively locking rotation of the cover with respect to the base, whereby the cover is selectively rotated to align the opening formed through the circumferential sidewall thereof with a selected one of the access openings, providing access to one of the pill-receiving compartments.
