Medication container holder

Abstract

A medication container holder for holding at least one medication container includes at least one base having a forward end and a rear end with the base being slanted upwardly from the forward end to the rear end, and each base comprising a plurality of spaced-apart medication container holding spaces for removably holding a medication container. The plurality of medication container holding spaces are arranged successively beginning from the forward end to the rear end of the base, and adapted so that each of the successive medication containers placed in the spaced-apart medication container holding spaces formed by the slanted base is elevated relative to the preceding medication container held in a preceding medication container holding space to yield a tiered arrangement. The bases may employ an interlocking mechanism to enable bases to be removably attached to each other.

1 . A medication container holder for holding at least one medication container, comprising: 
 at least one base having a forward end and a rear end with the base being slanted upwardly from the forward end to the rear end; and    each base comprising a plurality of spaced-apart medication container holding spaces for removably holding a medication container, said plurality of medication container holding spaces arranged in sequence beginning from the forward end to the rear end of the at least one base, and adapted so that each of the successive medication containers placed in the spaced-apart medication container holding spaces formed by the at least one base is elevated relative to the preceding medication container held in a preceding medication container holding space to yield a tiered arrangement.    
   
   
       2 . The medication container holder of  claim 1  further comprising interlocking means for removably interlocking a base to another base.  
   
   
       3 . The medication container holder of  claim 1  further comprising a timing assembly operatively associated with the base for alerting the user of the time to take medication contained in one of the at least one medication container.  
   
   
       4 . The medication container holder of  claim 3  wherein the timing assembly further comprises a timer capable of being set to a predetermined time interval when a medication should be taken, and an alert mechanism for notifying the user of the lapsing of the predetermined time interval.  
   
   
       5 . The medication container holder of  claim 4  further comprises a reset mechanism for resetting the timer upon removal of the medication container as indicative of the user taking the medication.  
   
   
       6 . The medication container holder of  claim 6  wherein the reset mechanism is configured to be activated by the user upon taking the medication.  
   
   
       7 . The medication container holder of  claim 1  wherein the medication container holding spaces are in the form of a cylinder.  
   
   
       8 . The medication container holder of  claim 1  comprising a single base.  
   
   
       9 . The medication container holder of  claim 1  wherein each base comprises three spaced-apart medication container holding spaces.
