Abstract

A medication dispenser device comprises a loading device and a portable plate. The loading device configured to load pills further includes at least one loading compartment, a loading member and an air piston. The loading tubing is capable of selecting predetermined number of pills to inject into the portable plate. Through the air piston. The portable plate has a first annular plate attached with a second annular plate. The first and second annular plate include a plurality of channels. The channels has first sections in the first annular plate and second sections in the second annular plate such that the pills are loaded in the first sections of the channel when the second sections of the channels are fully loaded. The portable plate is capable of separating from the loading device when the pills are fully loaded in the channels.

Claims
