Non-reversing tablet dispenser with counter

A container for dispensing tablets in a non-reversing manner, which comprises:

• (a) a main container body adapted to receive at least one stack of tablets and having an operating end with at least one annularly located dispensing orifice and at least one annularly located ejection post extending away from said body, and further adapted to receive and rotatably hold an actuator disk so as to render it rotatable about a central axis;
• (b) an actuator disc securely and rotatably attached to the operating end of said body so as to render it rotatable about said central axis, said actuator disk having a first recess which forms a complete annulus about said central axis and is coincidental to and mates with said ejection post, and having a second recess of width and depth sufficient to receive a predetermined number of one or more tablets, said second recess having an inward end which is at least coincidental with said dispensing orifice when located thereunder and an outward end which is open for tablet dispensing;
• and,
• (c) stop means to assure that said actuator disk can only be rotated in one direction;
• such that when said body contains stacked tablets, said actuator disk is rotated so that said second recess is located under said dispensing orifice and at least one tablet drops into said second recess, and upon further rotation, the tablet(s) resting in said second recess is ejected by being pushed against said ejection post.
