Medical timer apparatus

In medical timer apparatus having means for measuring time, an improvement comprising:

• (a) providing said apparatus with a magnetically responsive switch for restarting the measurement of time;
• (b) providing said apparatus with an integral medication container that may be selectively opened and closed with respect to said apparatus to make accessible and non-accessible, respectively, medication located within said integral container and further including within said integral container a first magnet, such that opening said integral container will position said magnet to activate said magnetically, responsive switch, and wherein said integral medication container may be non-permanently attached and removed, selectively, to and from said apparatus, and further including:
• (c) providing said apparatus with non-integral container attachment means for use with a non-integral medication container, comprising:
• (i) a second magnet attached proximal to the non-integral medication container;
• (ii) sponge means for disposition between said magnetically responsive switch, and the non-integral medication container;
• and
• (iii) fastening means for maintaining said apparatus in operable attachment with said non-integral medication container, such that upon squeezing said combined non-integral medication container, attachment means and apparatus, the magnet of said attachment means will activate said magnetically responsive switch.
