Abstract: A tray and method for efficient counting of a desired number of pharmaceutical pills or capsules from a bulk supply and distributing said counted pills and any excess pills into a target container and the bulk supply respectively. The preferred embodiment of this invention incorporates a sprung, hinged flap which, when pressed into contact with the flat counting surface, forms a trapping enclosure for excess pills while the desired number of pills are poured with a novel funneling structure. Although useful by itself, the tray and method are designed for optimal time and motion efficiency and for accuracy when used with a machine-vision pill counter.
