ABSTRACT:
A tray for counting a discrete number of pills or capsules from a bulk supply including a housing having a bottom wall, two vertical opposed sidewalls and a pair of arcuate-shaped end walls that are arranged to turn upwardly and inwardly from the bottom wall. A divider extends between the two sidewalls or the housing to separate it into two individual compartments. A horizontal platform is removably supported upon the top of the divider in contiguous relationship with the end walls to establish elongated entrances to each compartment therebetween. In operation a bulk supply of pills or capsules is deposited upon the platform and the desired amount counted out using a conventional spatula. The counted tablets are passed into the entrance of one compartment while the overage remaining on the platform is passed into the other thereby positively segregating the tablets. Pouring spouts are provided in each compartment to enable the counted tablets to be deposited into a prescription bottle and the overage to be returned to a bulk supply container.
