Abstract (en)

A counting apparatus for an unbroken series of articles (K) has been described. According to the invention the counting mechanism (14) comprises an endless moving around counting member (15) comprising dogs (16) operated by the articles (K), the mutual distance of said dogs being smaller than the length of the articles and larger than the half of said length. Furthermore, in the conveyor path (8) of the articles (K) two spaced guides (30) for the articles have been installed, which guides restrict the width of said conveyor path (8) to a size which is somewhat larger than the width (B) of the articles. <IMAGE>
