Patent abstract
A portable pill crusher for crushing tablets of compressed powder has upper and lower plates, The plates attached to one another at one end, and forced apart at the opposite end so that the crusher is normally in a pill-loading position. The crusher has a handle attached to a post which extends upwardly from the lower plate through the upper plate, and the handle has a downwardly extending lobe which acts as a cam on the top surface of the upper plate, pushing it downwardly when a user applies a force to the handle. The upper plate has a crush member on its under-side which is sized and configured to fit within a pill receptacle formed on the end of the lower plate. The device can be operated by one hand, and requires little force to use.
