ABSTRACT:
A device for the collection of eggs includes a number of egg conveyor belts lying above one another, an egg discharge belt and a device disposed between the egg conveyor belts and the egg discharge belt for transferring eggs from the egg conveyor belts to the egg discharge belt. The transfer device includes an essentially vertically arranged endless egg conveyor which at the top and bottom thereof is guided over reversing mechanisms. The egg conveyor has a first part which can move up past the ends of egg conveyor belts, and a second part which can move down past the egg discharge belt.
The egg conveyor is provided with egg accommodation elements disposed abutting one after the other in the lengthwise direction of the egg conveyor, the egg accommodation elements being essentially U-shaped, when viewed in the transverse direction of the egg conveyor, and open towards the outside, and extending over the width of the egg conveyor. The egg accommodation elements are divided by means of separating elements into a number of individual adjacent compartments, the separating elements lying one after the other in the lengthwise direction of the egg conveyor, and the width of the compartments being such that only one egg fits into each compartment. The egg conveyor is arranged in such a way that the eggs fed in by a particular egg conveyor belt can be accommodated in only one specific row of compartments lying one after the other in the lengthwise direction of the egg conveyor.
