Abstract

A medicien cabinet has a housing and a door. The door is provided with an electrically operated lock which is operable by using the push keys. The opening code for the lock is initially set by inserting four keys into four holes in a four by ten array of holes provided in the casing on the inside of the door. The circuits for the code pre-setting and code inputting circuits are provided on a membrane. The cabinet is provided with a light emitting diode (LED) and a buzzer which can be operated by timing means at set intervals. The LED and the buzzer also operate while the door is open. Additional facilities may also be provided on the cabinet.
