Dosage dispensing cap system

A dosage dispensing cap system for releasing a fixed number of pills from a container as a result of a single actuation, the dosage dispensing cap system comprising:

• (a) a main axis;
• (b) a first cap element adapted to be removably attached to a container configured to house a multiplicity of pills of a generally uniform size, the first cap element having a first aperture therethrough;
• and
• (c) a second cap element adapted to be generally axially disposed between the first cap element and the container, the second cap element being flexible and having a diaphragm member and a flange member extending generally radially outward therefrom, the diaphragm member having mouth portion, a throat portion, a cavity generally disposed therebetween, a first end and a second end, the mouth portion generally extending in a direction from approximately the first end toward approximately the second end, the cavity being generally large enough to contain a fixed number of the pills, the diaphragm member further having a laterally released configuration and a laterally compressed configuration, the diaphragm member being elastically biased toward its laterally released configuration, the first end and the second end being in closer proximity to each other when the diaphragm member is in the laterally compressed configuration than in the laterally released configuration, the throat portion being adapted to allow passage of at least one of the pills therethrough and the mouth portion being adapted to restrict passage of any of the pills therethrough when the diaphragm member is in the laterally released configuration, the throat portion being adapted to restrict passage of any of the pills therethrough and the mouth portion being adapted to allow passage of at least one of the pills therethrough when the diaphragm member is in the laterally compressed configuration.
