Pill tray attachable to a pill storage container

Abstract

A pill tray that facilitates dispensing of pills from a pill storage container. The tray can be configured to attach to a pill storage container that stores the pills, and have a first aperture positioned immediately proximate to a second cavity defined in the pill storage container. The first aperture can facilitate the transfer of the pills from the pill storage container into the first cavity.

       3 . The pill tray of  claim 1 , wherein the pill tray is fixedly attached to the pill storage container. 
   
   
       4 . The pill tray of  claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the first aperture is approximately equal to a diameter of the second cavity. 
   
   
       5 . The pill tray of  claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the first aperture is less than a diameter of the second cavity. 
   
   
       6 . The pill tray of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a lid hingedly attached to the tray, the lid serving to enclose the first cavity when the lid is closed.   
   
   
       7 . A pill tray that facilitates dispensing of pills from a pill storage container, the pill tray comprising:
 a bottom surface having a first aperture defined therein though which pills pass; and   at least one wall that extends upwards from a periphery of the bottom surface, the bottom surface and the wall defining, at least in part, a first cavity that holds pills; and   wherein:   the tray is configured to attach to a pill storage container that stores the pills, the first aperture being positioned immediately proximate to a second cavity defined in the pill storage container; and   the first aperture facilitates the transfer of the pills from the pill storage container into the first cavity.   
   
   
       8 . The pill tray of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 an annular rim having a second aperture defined therein, the annular rim extending inward from an upper portion of the wall;   wherein the bottom surface, the wall and the annular rim form the first cavity that holds pills.   
   
   
       9 . The pill tray of  claim 7 , wherein the pill tray removably attaches to the pill storage container. 
   
   
       10 . The pill tray of  claim 7 , wherein the pill tray is fixedly attached to the pill storage container. 
   
   
       11 . The pill tray of  claim 7 , wherein a diameter of the first aperture is approximately equal to a diameter of the second cavity. 
   
   
       12 . The pill tray of  claim 7 , wherein a diameter of the first aperture is less than a diameter of the second cavity. 
   
   
       13 . The pill tray of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 a lid hingedly attached to the tray, the lid serving to enclose the first cavity when the lid is closed.   
   
   
       14 . A combined pill bottle and tray that facilitates dispensing of pills from a pill storage container, the combined pill bottle and tray comprising:
 a pill tray comprising:   a concave wall having a first aperture defined therein though which pills pass, the wall flairing laterally and upward from the first aperture; and   an annular rim having a second aperture defined therein, the annular rim extending inward from an upper portion of the wall, the wall and the annular rim defining a first cavity that holds pills when the tray is tilted laterally; and   a lower pill storage portion comprising:   a bottom surface; and   at least one wall extending upwardly from the bottom surface, the bottom surface and the wall defining a second cavity for storing the pills;   wherein:   the tray is configured to attach to the lower pill storage portion, the first aperture being positioned immediately proximate to the second cavity; and   the first aperture facilitates the transfer of the pills from the pill storage portion into the first cavity.   
   
   
       15 . The combined pill bottle and tray of  claim 14 , wherein the pill tray removably attaches to the pill storage portion. 
   
   
       16 . combined pill bottle and tray of  claim 14 , wherein the pill tray is fixedly attached to the pill storage portion. 
   
   
       17 . The combined pill bottle and tray of  claim 14 , wherein a diameter of the first aperture is approximately equal to a diameter of the second cavity. 
   
   
       18 . The combined pill bottle and tray of  claim 14 , wherein a diameter of the first aperture is less than a diameter of the second cavity. 
   
   
       19 . The combined pill bottle and tray of  claim 14 , further comprising:
 a lid hingedly attached to the tray, the lid serving to enclose the first cavity when the lid is closed.
