Abstract

A method includes: providing a dial cap having vertical sides that meet at corners and the vertical sides including an aperture; coupling an info ring to the dial cap and seated within the dial cap; and wherein coupling the info ring includes coupling the info ring having a symbol configured to align with the aperture.

Claims

1. A dial cap system, comprising:

a dial cap having vertical sides that meet at corners and the vertical sides including an aperture;

an info ring coupled to the dial cap and configured to be seated within the dial cap; and

wherein the info ring includes a symbol configured to align with the aperture.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the dial cap includes a tab having a hook coupled to the info ring to secure the dial cap and the info ring together.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the symbol is selected from the group consisting of numbers, letters, and roman numerals.

4. The system of claim 1, where the dial cap is adaptable to fit a standard medicine bottle container.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the dial cap is rotatable along an axis of the info ring, wherein a partial rotation of the dial cap moves a protrusion on the dial cap into a corresponding receptacle on the info ring.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the aperture on the side portion of the first body displays the symbol on the info ring.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein a rotation of the dial cap is clockwise or counter clockwise.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the dial cap fits over a pill bottle or a liquid container.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the aperture is centered within one of the vertical sides.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein each of the vertical sides includes the aperture.

11. A method of manufacturing a dial cap system, comprising:

providing a dial cap having vertical sides that meet at corners and the vertical sides including an aperture;

coupling an info ring to the dial cap and seated within the dial cap; and

wherein coupling the info ring includes coupling the info ring having a symbol configured to align with the aperture.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein providing the dial cap includes providing the dial cap having a tab having a hook configured to couple to the info ring to secure the dial cap and the info ring together.

13. The method of claim 11, coupling the info ring includes coupling the info ring having a symbol selected from the group consisting of numbers, letters, and roman numerals.

14. The method of claim 11, where the dial cap is adaptable to fit a standard medicine bottle container.

15. The method of claim 11, wherein providing the dial cap includes providing the dial cap configured to be rotatable along an axis of the info ring, wherein a partial rotation of the dial cap moves a protrusion on the dial cap into a corresponding receptacle on the info ring.

16. The method of claim 11, wherein providing the dial cap includes providing the aperture on the side portion of the first body configured to display the symbol on the info ring.

17. The method of claim 11, wherein providing the dial cap includes providing the dial cap being rotatable clockwise or counter clockwise.

18. The method of claim 11, wherein providing the dial cap includes providing the dial cap configured to fit over a pill bottle or a liquid container.

19. The method of claim 11, wherein providing the dial cap includes providing the aperture centered within one of the vertical sides.

20. The method of claim 11, wherein providing the dial cap includes providing each of the vertical sides including the aperture.
