Pill Box Filler

[mklotz]

Marv,

I did my best to translate your text into a rendering and have put it at the end of my article. How close did I get?

Close but not quite what I had in mind.

The tines of the comb in my vision are narrow with parallel sides (picture a popsicle stick). At one end of each of these tines is a small V which captures a single pill. Seven of these are fastened into a comb in a way that allows any pill not captured in the V to remain in place. Once each V is filled, the comb is pushed over the edge of the plate and the pills drop out of the V's into the open pill boxes held just below the plate.

Maybe the attached crude sketch will help.
