Device and method for sorting small pieces of material into separate containers

A method for sorting small piece of material into separate containers, wherein the method comprises:

• receiving a device for sorting small pieces of material, wherein the device comprises:
• a top portion comprising a plurality of through openings;
• a bottom portion including a substantially planar surface having a plurality of openings disposed there through and a plurality of sections of unbroken surface, wherein:
• each opening of the plurality of openings corresponds to an opening of the plurality of through openings;
• and
• the plurality of sections of unbroken surface includes a section of unbroken surface corresponding to each through opening of the plurality of through openings, wherein the top portion and bottom portion are mutually slidable between a first position wherein the plurality of sections of unbroken surface are positioned beneath the plurality of through openings and a second position wherein the plurality of openings are positioned beneath the plurality of through openings;
• and
• a pill planner box positioned beneath top portion and the bottom portion, wherein:
• the pill planner box further comprises a plurality of receptacles;
• and
• each receptacle of the plurality of receptacles is positioned beneath a through opening of the plurality of through openings aligning, using the top portion, each opening of the plurality of openings in the bottom portion to correspond with an opening of the plurality of through openings;
• aligning, using the top portion, the plurality of sections of unbroken surface of the bottom portion to correspond with each through opening of the plurality of through-openings;
• applying, using the top portion, a second positioning of the top portion relative to the bottom portion, where the top portion and bottom portion slide between a first position where the plurality of sections of unbroken surface are positioned beneath plurality of through-openings, and a second position wherein the plurality of openings are positioned beneath the plurality of through-openings, at a subsequent time;
• allowing, when in the second position, the small pieces of material to pass through the at least a through opening of the two-lateral trough, thereby sorting the material into separate containers.
