Benefits to companies:
Pill bottle designs haven’t changed in years. It’s time pill bottles have a design upgrade with new enhancements to solve several problems inherent in current pill bottle designs.
The Pill Gate design of the better bottle is a high value added feature with numerous benefits that will greatly enhance current pill bottles. These features will benefit your existing consumer base as well as attract new customers to your product.
The Pill Gate feature provides a more sanitary method of pill distribution, adds another level of child safety, and creates a bottle which is virtually spill proof.
Benefits to your consumers:
More sanitary: The Pill Gate feature allows the user control over the amount of pills to be dispensed. No more pouring a bunch of pills into one’s hand, helping to potentially reduce the spread of harmful germs. The Pill Gate divider creates a space in the throat of the bottle while the cap is on which allows the user control of how many pills are to be dispensed at one time, once completed the user simply opens the cap and pours that amount into their hands while the pill gate divider prohibits the remaining pills to follow.
Increased Child Safety: The Pill Gate feature provides an extra layer of child protection. Many studies are now showing child proof bottles aren’t all that child proof… an extra layer of child safety on pill bottles could be the extra seconds between life and death for a child. In side by side testing (once a child-proof topper is off) a regular bottle simply has to be held upside down to empty its contents. The Pill Gate prohibits this and the bottle must be manipulated vigorously and at length to get the contents emptied.
Anti-spill: The Pill Gate drastically reduces the amount of pills that can accidentally spill. When pill bottles are accidentally knocked over the lives of children and pets could be in danger. The least amount of pills that spill from accidents the better. Because of the shape and location of the Pill Gate divider in the throat of the bottle, the bottle must be (easily) manipulated by an adult to dispense pills… thus reducing accidental spills. Independent testing has shown that Arthritis sufferers benefit greatly from the pill gate anti-spill feature.
Utilization:
Normal everyday use in all types of bottles for all segments and age populations of the consumer market where potential anti-germ, increased child safety, and spill proof capabilities are desirable. OTC bottles ranging from pain reliever to vitamins to antacids etc., prescription bottles, designated child-proof bottles.
Where do we see this being utilized outside of everyday typical consumer use and specifically for the potential reduction in anti-germ spreading properties: Settings where multiple people are utilizing the same bottle of pills potentially, i.e., office buildings, service industries, hospitality, hospitals, doctor’s offices, clinics, anywhere pills are distributed by costly blister packs to individuals etc.
Pill Gate Features:
-Design can be used with any type of bottle, OTC, prescription, or otherwise.
-Design is low production cost.
-Multiple configuration options of the Pill Gate divider within a bottle, i.e., aperture sizing, permanent vs removable, placement within the throat of a bottle, bottle-topper option for existing pill bottles owned by consumers.
-The Pill Gate divider aperture can be modified for use with various size and types of pills to maximize child safety and anti-spill capabilities.
-The Pill Gate can eliminate the need for cotton packing in bottles to keep pills safe during transport.
