The upper end of the com- 23 is shown and this vial is provided with a thick .55 partment I0 isthreaded at I2 and receives a. top end 24, which has a small passagewayv 25 5 therein. This long and narrow passageway prevents the vial from being refilled.

The vial 23 is placed in a container 26 and this container is closed by a cover 21. The cover has a threaded recess that receives the vial and has a small passageway 28 that aligns with the passageway 25. A cap 29 closes the passageway 28 and a washer 30 may be disposed in the cap and will cover the open end of the cover 21. A washer 3| is also preferably disposed between the vial 5 and the cover 3,'see Figure 1, and in like manner a washer 32 is disposed between the vial 23 and the cover 21 in the device shown in Figure 4. The threaded recess in the cover 21 has a depression extending above the washer 32 and this depression receives a rounded projection on the vial end 24 that extends above the washer 32. This depression in the top of the threaded recess has rounded sides and when an open top vial such as that shown at 5 in Figure 1 is threaded into the cover 21, then the rounded side wall of the depression will act as a guide for thefiuid for directing it into the passageway 28.

In the operation of this form of the device, the cap 29 is removed and then the container 26 is rapidly shaken. This will drive out some of the vial fluid through the aligned passageways 25 and 28. After use the cap 29 can then be screwed onto the cover 2'! as shown at 33. A

shock absorbing pad 34 is placed between the bottom of the vial 23 and the bottom of the container 26. Should the open top vial 5 be connected to the cover 21 in place of the vial 23, then the depression in the top of the threaded recesswill guide the fluid into the passageway 28 as already stated.

While I have shown only the preferred forms .of my invention it should be understood that
