A child resistant multiple dosage blister pack dispenser includes a main housing bottom component having walls and a bottom panel for supporting a blister pack, a middle component, and a main top component. The bottom panel has a plurality of rows of orifices located so as to position a blister pack thereabove, with individual dosages of the blister pack located above the orifices, so that individual dosages are pushed therethrough from the blister pack. The main housing top component is connected to the middle component and is laterally moveable. It has a first position, being a rest position, and a second position, being a dispensing position. There is a biasing spring connected to at least one of the components, that biases the top component relative to the middle component so that the top component is in its first position. There are a plurality of push tabs located on the top component for dispensing in a second position. The middle component may be unlocked and moved into new positions sequentially so that the push tabs are operated on subsequent rows of medication dosages.

1. A child resistant multiple dosage blister pack dispenser for use with blister packs having a plurality of rows of medication, which comprises:(a.) a main housing bottom component having walls and a bottom panel for supporting a blister pack, said bottom panel of said bottom component having a plurality of rows of orifices located so as to position a blister pack thereabove, with individual dosages of said blister pack located above said orifices, said orifices being of sufficient size and shape to push individual dosages therethrough; (b.) a main housing middle component permanently, slideably and lockably mounted on said main housing component, and having sufficient opening to expose said bottom component orifices to a top component; (c.) a main housing top component permanently connected to said middle component and laterally moveable relative to said middle component, said top component having a first position, being a rest position, and having a second position, being a dispensing position; (d.) a biasing spring connected to at least one of said bottom, said middle, and said top component and biasing said top component relative to said middle component to said top component first position, wherein a user may shift said top component relative to said middle component by pressing one relative to the other to move said top component to said second position; and, (e.) a plurality of push tabs located on said top component in an array corresponding to at least one row of said plurality of orifices of said bottom component, said plurality of push tabs being located not above said orifices when said top component is in said first position, and said plurality of push tabs being located above said orifices for pushing dosage from said blister pack therethrough when said top component is in said second position. 2. The dispenser of claim 1 wherein said bottom component includes one of a track and a track rider on its walls and said middle component includes walls having the other of said track and a track rider on said walls, and said track rider is located in said track so as that said track rider is slideable therein, and wherein said bottom component and said middle component contain interconnecting, locking elements of a locking mechanism so as to permit said middle component to be locked into a first row position, to be unlocked by a user and slid to a second row position and locked therein, and to be repeated for each row of orifices contained within said bottom component.3. The dispenser of claim 2 wherein said locking mechanism interconnecting locking elements include a protrusion and slot arrangement wherein said middle component is locked when a protrusion is in a slot.4. The dispenser of claim 1 wherein said biasing spring is unistructurally formed with at least one of said top component and said middle component.5. The dispenser of claim 1 wherein said main housing top component has at least two side walls, a front and a back, and a top panel wherein said push tabs are located in said top panel.6. The dispenser of claim 5 wherein said main housing top component and bottom component are rectilinear.7. The dispenser of claim 6 wherein said top component second position is located in a shifted position from sliding back to front.8. The dispenser of claim 1 wherein at least one of said middle component and said bottom component includes an open area for insertion of a blister pack.9. The dispenser of claim 8 wherein at least one of said middle component and said bottom component includes a blister pack retainer stop to prevent removal of a blister pack therefrom.10. The dispenser of claim 1 wherein said main housing top component and middle component are molded components formed as a unistructural piece connected by said biasing spring, and are adapted to be folded and snapped together.11. A child resistant multiple dosage blister pack dispenser, which comprises:(a) a main housing bottom component having walls and a bottom panel for supporting a blister pack, said bottom panel of said bottom component having a plurality of rows of orifices located so as to position a blister pack thereabove, with individual dosages of said blister pack located above said orifices, said orifices being of sufficient size and shape to push individual dosages therethrough; (b) a main housing middle component permanently slideable and lockable mounted on said main housing component, and having sufficient opening to expose said bottom component orifices to a top component; (c) a main housing top component permanently connected to said middle component and laterally moveable relative to said middle component, said top component having a first position, being a rest position, and having a second position, being a dispensing position; (d) a biasing spring connected to at least one of said bottom, said middle, and said top component and biasing said top component relative to said middle component to said top component first position, wherein a user may shift said top component relative to said middle component by pressing one relative to the other to move said top component to said second position; (e) a plurality of push tabs located on said top component in an array corresponding to at least one row of said plurality of orifices of said bottom component, said plurality of push tabs being located not above said orifices when said top component is in said first position, and said plurality of push tabs being located above said orifices for pushing dosage from said blister pack therethrough when said top component is in said second position; and, (f) a blister pack located on said bottom component bottom panel and under said middle and top components, said blister pack having a plurality of rows of individual dosages positioned and arranged so as to correspond to and be located above said orifices of said bottom component. 12. The dispenser of claim 11 wherein said bottom component includes one of a track and a track rider on its walls and said middle component includes walls having the other of said track and a track rider on said walls, and said track rider is located in said track so as that said track rider is slideable therein, and wherein said bottom component and said middle component contain interconnecting, locking elements of a locking mechanism so as to permit said middle component to be locked into a first row position, to be unlocked by a user and slid to a second row position and locked therein, and to be repeated for each row of orifices contained within said bottom component.13. The dispenser of claim 12 wherein said locking mechanism interconnecting locking elements include a protrusion and slot arrangement wherein said middle component is locked when a protrusion is in a slot.14.
