ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is provided for counting objects placed in a bin. The apparatus includes a shroud which covers the bin and which contains a hole through which the objects can be passed into the bin. A flexible paddle secured to the shroud extends into the hole so as to cover the hole when in a first position. The paddle can be flexed when an object is pressed against the paddle so as to move the paddle into a second position that permits passage of the object past the paddle into the bin. A counter is connected to the paddle to count paddle movement from the first position to the second position as each object is passed into the bin.
