II. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a storage bin and, more particularly, to a storage bin with a tinted cover for reducing the amount of light exposure to the light sensitive medications stored inside of the storage bin.

2. Description of the Related Art

Several designs for storage bins have been designed in the past. None of them, however, include a pill or medication storage container comprising a rectangular box with a retractable plastic cover wherein the cover is made from a tinted amber colored material for reducing the amount of light exposure to the contents inside the container.

Applicant believes that a related reference corresponds to U.S. Pat. No. 5,351,818 for a rectangular pill or medication storage box. Applicant believes another related reference relates to U.S. Pat. No. 6,338,535 for a pill organizing storage container. None of these references, however, teach of a storage container having a retractable cover that is made from a tinted amber colored material for reducing the light exposure to the contents inside of the container.

Other documents describing the closest subject matter provide for a number of more or less complicated features that fail to solve the problem in an efficient and economical way. None of these patents suggest the novel features of the present invention.
