Filed:

Apr 1, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/404160

Inventors:

Donald T. Sanders - Indianapolis IN, US
Sherri Sherrod - Indianapolis IN, US

International Classification:

H04M 1/00

US Classification:

4555691, 4999792, 381338

Abstract:

A portable communications device having a base that can be worn on the user's wrist, a wireless earpiece that can be concealed when worn, and a novel audio link that allows the earpiece to communicate with the base. Each audio link is programmed to communicate with any base unit of the present invention but with only one earpiece. The audio links and earpieces can be packaged and sold together, and the base units can be packaged and sold separately. The base includes a novel keypad having keys that are positioned around the periphery of the base in a sequence which matches that used on old rotary dial phones and which allows the user to access the keys without having to look at them. The earpiece includes the microphone into which the user talks. The microphone can easily detect and transmit the user's voice, yet is mostly concealed from passersby. Thus, the user can use the portable communications device while conducting other activities but without making it obvious to observers that he or she is using the device.

Appl. No.:

15/613804

Inventors:

Donald T. Sanders - Indianapolis IN, US

International Classification:

B65D 83/04
A61J 7/00
A61J 1/14

Abstract:

A combination medicine container and dispenser allows a user to select one of a plurality of medicament compartments to selectively dispense a single medicament of the medicaments held in the container at a time through easy manipulation of a selectively locking dispensing means. A rotating dispensary at a bottom of the bottle allows rotation of the dispensary relative to the bottle structure(s) for transfer of a single medicament from the bottle to the dispensary, and out of the bottle. The dispensary has several compartments, each dimensioned for a differently sized medicament to dispense medicaments of different sizes from the bottle. An insert has removable segments corresponding to the compartments of the dispensary providing selection of medicament dispensing compartment.

Appl. No.:

15/609568

Inventors:

Donald T. Sanders - Indianapolis IN, US

International Classification:

B65D 83/04
A61J 1/03

Abstract:

Combination medicine containers and dispensers are shaped similar to or generally the same as standard prescription medicament containers but are configured to dispense one medicament at a time through easy manipulation of integral dispensing means. Each combination medicine container and dispenser has a bottle, a cap, and an integral dispensing mechanism that cooperate with one or more structures of the bottle and/or cap to dispense one medicament at a time from the container. In one form, the combination medicine container and dispenser is designed to allow a user to dispense a single medicament through properly applied pressure. In another form, rotation of one or more components provides dispensing of a single medicament.
