Unique alignment pins are provided for stopping the advancement of containers being conveyed by conveyor belts. Each pin has a top surface shaped to conform substantially to the contour of the gap defined by the bases of two adjacent touching containers. The top surface engages the bases of passing containers when the pin is in its retracted position.
