Abstract: A counting apparatus is disclosed, having a resettable counter, for counting the number of times a mold closes. The counting apparatus includes a body that is mountable to a mold block section, an electronic counting mechanism connected to the body, and a reset mechanism connected to the body that resets the counting mechanism to zero or some other settable number. Additionally, the counting mechanism includes a sensor, a triggering mechanism, and a counter display. The sensor detects when the mold has been closed and then communicates such with the triggering mechanism. The triggering mechanism then triggers the counter display to increase or decrease by the number of units associated with the closing of the mold.
