Pill sorting container

An apparatus for sorting pills, the apparatus having a first axis, a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis, and a third axis that is perpendicular to the first and second axes, the apparatus comprising:

• a body having a first side and a second side that are spaced along the first axis, wherein the body defines a plurality of receptacles that extend between the first side and the second side of the body, wherein the plurality of receptacles are arranged into at least one row, wherein each receptacle comprises a peripheral sidewall that extends circumferentially around an interior volume;
• a slide plate positioned on the first side of the body, wherein the slide plate defines a first plurality of openings, wherein the slide plate is slidable relative to the body about and between:
• a first position, in which the first plurality of openings are offset from respective receptacles of the plurality of receptacles along the second axis so that the slide plate blocks the plurality of receptacles;
• and
• a second position, in which the first plurality of openings are aligned with respective receptacles of the plurality of receptacles along the second axis so that pills can pass through the first plurality of openings and into the receptacles;
• and
• a retaining plate that is releasably coupled to the first side of the body, wherein the retaining plate retains the slide plate against the body, wherein the retaining plate defines at least one slot that is elongated along the second axis,
• wherein the slide plate comprises at least one tab, wherein a respective tab of the at least one tab extends through each slot of the at least one slot of the retaining plate, and wherein the respective tab permits articulation of the slide plate about and between the first position and the second position.
