Abstract
A pill organizer has a sorting box slidably mounted in an outer housing. The sorting box has multiple pill compartments and two box-positioning portions. The outer housing has an outer tube, an upper half tube, and a lower half tube. The upper half tube and the lower half tube are mounted in the outer tube from opposite directions and interlocks with each other. The sorting box is slidably mounted between the upper half tube and the lower half tube. The lower half tube has multiple housing-positioning portions disposed apart from each other along a lengthwise direction of the sorting box. The two box-positioning portions of the sorting box selectively engage with the housing-positioning portions to keep the pill compartments protruded from the outer housing or to keep all the pill compartments retracted for ease of use.
Claims15
A pill organizer comprising:
- a sorting box having:
- a main body extending along a lengthwise direction;
- the main body forming an inner space and a top opening;
- multiple partitions located in the main body;
- the partitions disposed apart from each other along the lengthwise direction to divide the inner space of the main body into multiple pill compartments;
- at least one box-positioning portion formed on an external surface of the sorting box;
- an outer housing slidably located around the sorting box and having:
- an outer tube having two end openings located on two opposite ends of the outer tube;
- the two end openings being respectively a first opening and a second opening;
- an upper half tube mounted in the outer tube from the first opening;
- the upper half tube covering at least part of the top opening and having:
- an upper abutting surface directed toward the second opening and adapted to abut against the outer tube to stop the upper half tube from moving toward the second opening;
- multiple upper locking portions formed on a bottom of the upper half tube;
- a lower half tube mounted in the outer tube from the second opening;
- a sliding channel formed between the upper half tube and the lower half tube;
- the sorting box slidably mounted in the sliding channel;
- the lower half tube having:
- a lower abutting surface directed toward the first opening and adapted to abut against the outer tube to stop the lower half tube from moving toward the first opening;
- multiple lower locking portions formed on a top of the lower half tube and engaging with the upper locking portions to keep the upper half tube and the lower half tube connected to each other in the outer tube;
- and
- multiple housing-positioning portions disposed apart from each other along the lengthwise direction;
- wherein the at least one box-positioning portion of the sorting box selectively engages with one of the housing-positioning portions to keep at least one of the pill compartments protruded from the sliding channel or to keep all the pill compartments retracted in the sliding channel.
