Abstract:
A cap assembly for a pill bottle to allow dispensing only one or two pills at a time. The cap assembly has an inner cap with an opening and an outer cap with a similarly shaped and sized opening and allows for a pill to be dispensed when both openings are aligned. The inner cap has a mechanism for engaging the bottle and the outer cap has a mechanism for engaging the inner cap. The cap assembly reduces the dispensing area for a pill and prevents spillage. The invention may also have a third cap to provide a child-resistance cap assembly. Alternately, the cap assembly may comprise a removable insert with a triangular opening that fits into a mouth of the pill bottle.

Claim (Index 13):
A cap assembly for limiting the egress of tablets or capsules from a pharmaceutical bottle containing tablets or capsules comprising:\n an inner cap comprising a first top panel with an extended shoulder, a first opening contained in the first top panel, and a first skirt extending downward from the first top panel, the first skirt having an inner surface with a mechanism for engaging a neck of the bottle; and an outer cap over the inner cap, wherein the outer cap engages the inner cap, wherein the outer cap comprises a second top panel, a second opening contained in the second top panel, wherein the second opening is approximately the same size and shape as the first opening, and a second skirt extending downward from the second top panel, the second skirt having an inner surface with a mechanism for engaging the inner cap and an outer surface with one or more ridges for providing a non-slip grip; wherein the outer cap is rotatable relative to the inner cap between a first position wherein the openings are not aligned, and a second position wherein the second opening aligns with the first opening; wherein when the outer cap is in the second position, on tilting the bottle in a single movement, one or two tablets or capsules are dispensed through the aligned openings.
