Abstract: A system for conveyance and processing of large numbers of identical or at least similar objects (piece goods) has a large number of holders (22) which are movable in sequence along a conveying path (F) which is closed on itself. The holders convey held objects along the conveying path. In stations (30, 31) along the path, actions directed to objects or holders (22) are triggered. For controlling these actions, a selected number of the holders are equipped as signaling holders (23) such that between each two successive signaling holders (23), there is a different number of non-signaling holders. The stations (30, 31) have sensor means (33) for detecting signaling holders (23) as well as a counter (35/41) and a memory (36) for storing the counter reading. In response to a signal (S) generated on detection of a signaling holder (23), the memory contents are overwritten with the current counter reading and the counter is reset to zero.

Abstract: A blister package having two flanges. The flanges define supports for the package in angularly intersecting planes so that the package will stand stably in at least two different orientations. The opening of the blister may be arranged to provide access to the space within the blister from two sides, thus facilitating removal of the product from the blister.
