Lockable pill container

A method of forming a lockable pill container comprising:

• forming a main body having a plurality of separate compartments, each compartment having an open top;
• forming a lid member for each of the compartments, each lid member being sized and constructed to overlie the open top of the associated compartment, and including an engageable first locking member that is sized and constructed to project into the main body when the lid member is in a closed position;
• positioning a second locking member at least partially within the main body and moveable between a first position in which the second locking member interlockably engages the first locking members of closed lid members and a second position in which the second locking member is disengaged from the first locking members;
• coupling a biasing member at a first end of the second locking member, the biasing member biasing the second locking member into the first position;
• and
• forming an engagement surface at a second end of the second locking member, the engagement surface configured for engagement by a user to move the second locking member between the first and second positions thereby actuating the biasing member.

A method of using a lockable pill container comprising:

• providing a main body having a plurality of compartments, a plurality of lid members, a first locking member associated with each lid member, and a second locking member having a biasing member coupled at one end and a user engagement surface at an opposing end;
• the biasing member being between said one end of the second locking member and the main body;
• closing at least one of the lids to engage the first and second locking members;
• engaging the user engagement surface to move the second locking member against the biasing forces of the biasing member, thereby disengaging the first and second locking members;
• and
• opening at least one lid.

A lockable pill container, comprising:

• a main body defining a plurality of compartments;
• a plurality of lid members moveable relative to the compartments between a closed position at least partially covering an opening into the compartments and an open position, each lid member including a first engagement member that extends into the main body when the lid member is in the closed position;
• an elongate second engagement member configured to move between a first position engaging the first engagement members and a second position disengaged from the first engagement members;
• the second engagement member including a first end and a user engagement surface at a second end;
• and
• a biasing member positioned between the first end of the second engagement member and the main body, the biasing member providing a biasing force that biases the second engagement member into the first position.
