Abstract of the Disclosure A can end counting system comprises an elongate trough-like member for receiving and guiding a plurality of can ends in a substantially upright, nested condition. The trough-like member defines a longitudinal axis and has an entrance end and an exit end relative to the direction of travel of can ends therethrough. A pusher is provided adjacent the entrance end of the trough-like member for pushing the can ends therealong. A resisting apparatus is located along the trough-like member for engaging the can ends in a fashion for maintaining a controlled degree of resistance of the can ends relative to the pusher so as to maintain the can ends in the desired upright and nested condition as they travel through the trough-like member. A counting apparatus is located adjacent the exit end of the trough-like member for producing a discrete detectable signal in response to the passage of each can end thereby, such that the discrete signals may be detected and counted to maintain a count of the can ends passing through the counting system.
