Abstract: 1,036,748. Packaging and orientating eggs; suction lifting heads. PAGE-DETROIT Inc. April 18, 1963 [May 1, 1962], No. 15340/63. Headings B8C, B8H and B8S. Apparatus for packing eggs comprises a reservoir for temporarily storing the eggs and a device for translating a plurality of eggs simultaneously from the reservoir directly to a container, the eggs being orientated in a substantially point-down disposition by means operative during the translating. Eggs 10 are fed on to the reservoir which consists of a platform 28 above which move rolling slats 26 or a conveyer 14 (Figs. 3, 13, 14, not shown) and which carry the eggs between separator plates 40, Fig. 1, to align them. They are then acted upon by a translation device which may consist of two rows of flexible rubber suction grippers 75, Fig. 12, which pick up a row of eggs and transfer them firstly to an endaligning mechanism 50 and thence to an egg carton 41. Alternatively, since when the eggs are picked up they automatically pivot and arrange themselves in generally point-down disposition due to the centre of gravity being nearer their pointed end, the translation device may transfer the eggs directly to the container. In other embodiments four rows of grippers are provided to transfer two rows of eggs from the separator plates 40 and the grippers may also be as shown in Fig. 15B. Another translation device is shown in Fig. 23 where each gripper consists of two plates 122, 124 and in this case, too, the eggs can arrange themselves in a substantially point-down disposition while being transferred. The transfer device may also be constructed as shown in Figs. 1, 6 with a series of paddle wheels 42 mounted on a shaft 48. An egg is delivered to each paddle wheel and in so doing raises a feeler, Fig. 11 (not shown). When all the feelers are raised the paddle wheel drive is actuated to rotate the wheels through 90 degrees to deliver the eggs to an end aligning mechanism. One form of end aligning mechanism 50 comprises a series of rotatable bars 140 and non-rotating bars 142 with ramps 154 thereon, Fig. 8, on to each pair of which an egg is delivered from the translation device. The bars 140 are then rotated so that the eggs are aligned along their longitudinal axes and tend to move longitudinally towards one or other ramp according to which end is foremost. The eggs are then dropped by the moving apart of bars 140, 142 and fall between swingable shoots 150, Fig. 8, into the container, a fixed bar 148 tilting the egg according to which ramp 154 it was urged towards. The shoots may be fixed, Fig. 8A (not shown). A flap 162 helps prevent unwanted tilting. An alternative end aligner comprises two transverse bars, one of which 164 is rotatable and the other 166, along which are spaced ramps 172, is laterally slidable, so that the eggs can be dropped therebetween on to bars 168 and thence through swing plates 170 to the container. In a further arrangement, Fig. 14, rollers 140 align the eggs against transverse bars according to which way their pointed ends are directed to enable the suction grippers to engage adjacent their other ends. This arrangement may be duplicated for the device for translating two rows simultaneously, Fig. 17 (not shown). A manually operable portable suction pick-up device for a group of eggs is illustrated, Fig. 4 (not shown).

Abstract: The present invention is a device for weighing and breaking eggs, and a method for weighing and breaking eggs. The eggs are conveyed on a conveyor to an egg-weighing station, at which each egg is individually weighed. The weight of each egg is sent to a storage and processing device, where the weight values are summed to arrive at a total value for all eggs passing through the egg-weighing station. The eggs are then conveyed to an egg-breaking machine, which may also separate the contents of the eggs broken in the egg-breaking machine. The data in the processor can be used to accurately calculate the weight of eggs processed by the egg-breaking machine. In addition, this data can be used to calculate the yield of the machine, by comparing it with data regarding the weight of the shells of the broken eggs and the weight of the egg contents from the broken eggs.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a multiple-row egg breaking and separating machine (11) in which the egg contents, and egg shells are passed adjacent one another through an inspection station (20) at which the contents of the egg can be rejected because the shell or contents are contaminated, defective or abnormal. The arrangement is particularly useful for high-speed breaking operations, yet still allows the inspector to view all the parts of the eggs for possible rejection of the egg contents. The arrangement is particularly suited for automatic scanning of egg shells and contents, and eliminates possible regulatory authority to prior art multiple-row egg breaking machines.

Abstract: An automatic article stacking system wherein a plurality of articles (11,12) to be stacked are arranged in layers prior to being stacked. The layers are advantageously arranged horizontally orthogonal to one another so as to enhance the stability of the stack. A measurement system (17) is provided for determining whether any of the articles exceeds a predetermined size limit. In one embodiment which is arranged for stacking egg cartons, a determination that the egg carton exceeds the predetermined size limit signifies that the egg carton is open and, therefore, not in a form suitable for stacking. The open egg carton is conveyed under an elevator (20) which accumulates the articles to be stacked, and to a discharge area (60). Thus, closed egg cartons are accumulated in layers and stacked. Successive layers of articles are stacked under prior stacked layers.

Abstract: A system for sorting articles includes a conveyor transporting the articles in conveying zones. An identifier directed at an identification zone on the conveyor identifies an article bearing a particular characteristic. A sliding gate coupled to the conveyor at a removal zone on the conveyor downstream from the identification zone is arranged below the articles and controlled by the identifier to open when the article bearing the characteristic passes the removal zone. The sliding gate opens parallel to the conveyor and either in the conveyor direction or the direction opposing the conveyor direction. The sliding gate provides an opening of the same length as the conveying zone. A device for sorting articles includes a sliding gate on the conveyor at a removal zone. The sliding gate is arranged below the articles and controlled by an identifier to open when an article bearing a characteristic passes the removal zone. The identifier is directed at an identification zone on the conveyor and is able to identify the article bearing a characteristic at the identification zone. A method for sorting articles includes conveying the articles and identifying an article bearing a characteristic at an identification zone. The method also includes separating the article bearing the characteristic from the articles not bearing the characteristic by a sliding gate. The sliding gate is coupled to the conveyor at a removal zone downstream from the identification zone. The sliding gate is controlled by an identifier and opens when the article bearing the characteristic passes the removal zone.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for increasing the speed of removal of eggs from an egg-tray conveyor and unloading of the eggs onto a roller conveyor. The invention includes two or more loader head pairs, which can operate either alternatively or in tandem between the egg-tray conveyor and the roller conveyor. The loader head pairs can also be indexed. The invention allows for an increase in speed of an egg-grading machine without an increase in risk that the eggs to be graded will be damaged during removal and unloading.
