Abstract: Cookies (15) are carried in random spaced series on a surface belt conveyor (11) toward the delivery end of the conveyor. The cookies are diverted by diverter (18) to one side of the conveyor until a predetermined number of the cookies has been counted, wherupon the diverter diverts the cookies to the opposite side of the conveyor. The group of cookies on one side of the surface conveyor moves downwardly about the delivery end of the conveyor belt, between the overhead conveyor belts (25) and (26), so as to change the cookies from a horizontal attitude to an edge standing attitude, and the groups of cookies are received in edge standing attitude in the receptacle (58) or (59). The receptacles progressively move outwardly beneath the delivery end of the surface conveyor as the cookies are counted by photocells (28) or (29), and air nozzles (65) or (66) direct a stream of air toward the last received cookie to hold the cookie in an edge standing attitude. When the photocells (28) or (29) has counted the predetermined number of cookies, the receptacle (58) or (59) is rotated so as to discharge the cookies downwardly into an awaiting cookie tray (75).

Abstract translation: 饼干（15）以表面带式输送机（11）上的随机间隔的系列方式运送到输送机的输送端。 饼干由转向器（18）转移到输送机的一侧，直到计数了预定数量的饼干，然后分流器将饼干转移到输送机的相对侧。 表面传送器一侧的一组饼干在输送带的输送端之间，在顶部输送带（25）和（26）之间向下移动，以便将饼干从水平姿态改变到边缘站立姿态 ，并且在容器（58）或（59）中以边缘站立姿态接收饼干组。 当饼干由光电池（28）或（29）计数时，容器逐渐向外移动到表面输送机的输送端之下，并且空气喷嘴（65）或（66）将空气流引向最后接收的饼干以保持 曲奇在边缘站立的态度。 当光电池（28）或（29）已经计数了预定数量的饼干时，容器（58）或（59）被旋转，以将饼干向下排放到等待的饼干盘（75）中。
