Abstract:
1. A medication caddy system for receiving and storing medication containers, and for displaying the containers for easy identification and transportation purposes, the system comprising, in combination: a vertical back support in a planar configuration having a front surface and a rear surface, the back support having a linear bottom edge and a contoured top edge spaced by a height of between 10 and 15 inches, the back support having linear side edges spaced by a width of between 3 and 3.5 inches; a rectilinear box having a rear face formed coextensively with the back support adjacent to the bottom edge of the back support, the box having a bottom face extending forwardly from the back support adjacent to the bottom edge, the bottom face having a front edge spaced from the bottom edge of the back support by a depth of between 3 and 4 inches, the box having a front face extending upwardly from the bottom face adjacent to the front edge of the bottom face, the front face having a top edge and side edges and an elevation of between 3 and 4 inches, the box having parallel side faces extending forwardly from the back support in proximity to the bottom edge, the side faces having top edges essentially coextensive with the top edge of the front face, the side faces having forward edges essentially coextensive with the side edges of the front face; a plurality of variously sized, cylindrically shaped medication containers with side walls formed as a right circular cylinder, a rectangular cross section, a conical section, or the like; a rectilinear chamber formed by the rear, front, bottom and side faces of the box, the chamber having an open top for receiving and supporting the medication containers on the bottom face of the box for easy access and removal, the chamber being formed with vertically oriented recesses on the front and rear faces of the box extending for the entire space between the side faces, a plurality of rectangular divider panels with edges removably received within the recesses to divide the chamber into sections adapted to separate the containers received and supported in the chamber, the panels being repositionable as a function of the size and number of the containers within the chamber; a pair of vertically extending, laterally spaced magnets adhesively secured to the rear surface of the back support, the magnets adapted to removably couple the box and supported containers to a refrigerator; a plurality of apertures extending through the back support, the apertures including a generally oval hand opening to assist in carrying the box and supported containers, the hand opening being centrally located adjacent to the top edge of the back support above the magnets, the apertures including two screw holes laterally spaced outwardly of the magnets and elevationally between the chamber and the hand opening for hanging on a wall or cabinet door; soft tabs extending downwardly from the bottom face of the box to facilitate safe positioning of the system on a horizontal recipient surface; pairs of edge receivers formed in the front face of the box, the edge receivers adapted to removably receive business cards and other written data for ready viewing; a file organizer with tabbed divider sheets adapted to receive sheet material related to medication in the containers and other health-related matters; and knock out panels formed in the apertures of the back support, the knock out panels being formed during fabrication and adapted to be removed prior to use.
