Abstract: A pot-shaped vibratory conveyor discharges small objects along a circular path successively into an outlet which is directly connected with the inlet of a gap between two parallel confronting belt portions extending tangentially to the circular path so that the objects are singly transported by the belt portions, and can be counted by a photoelectric sensor before being collected in a container from which they are discharged when a predetermined number of objects is collected. The containers of several units can be simultaneously opened to discharge the objects into the same bag when the containers of different units contain selected numbers of different objects.
