Abstract:
A device for indicating a medication time, the device comprising:a. a medication container having a curved exterior side surface;b. a sheet member defining a central aperture; andc. a hub mounted on the medication container and having:i. a central pivot having a diameter less than the diameter of the central aperture in said sheet member,ii. a first pair of opposing protrusions extending radially outwards from the periphery of the pivot and having a span greater than the diameter of the central aperture in said sheet member, where the first pair of opposing protrusions deforms away from the plane of the pivot to conform to the curved exterior side surface of the medication container,iii. a second pair of opposing protrusions extending radially outwards from the periphery of the pivot and having a span greater than the diameter of the central aperture in said sheet member, the second pair of opposing protrusions being deformable away from the plane of the pivot such that the first and second pairs of opposing protrusions define between them a discrete annular channel adapted to receive for rotation therewithin said sheet member such that the central aperture of the sheet member encircles the pivot, andiv. co-operating indicia on the hub and the sheet member for indicating a medication time.
