ABSTRACT:
An egg collection device for collecting eggs from an array of confinement cage rows comprises separate continuous flexible belts of individual, interchangeable basket members themselves linking together to form the egg collector. Each individual basket member includes a pair of sidewalls for containing the egg transported therein. This unique design enables the separate continuous flexible belts forming the egg collector to be spaced apart to conform to the spacing between the confinement cage rows with which the collector is being used, thereby making the collector adaptable to a wide variety of cage arrangements. Another improvement is directed to the manner in which the individual continuous flexible belts are driven and provides for a sprocket wheel which does not protrude into the basket member carrying the eggs.
