ABSTRACT:
A carriage assembly for transporting two eggs in side-by-side relationship from one station to another such as from a weighing station in an egg grader to a packing station. A pair of oppositely disposed egg engaging members are pivotally mounted on fixed shafts positioned in a platform. The engaging members are curved to engage the egg upon closing of the members, the closing movement being controlled by means of a cam in engagement with the upper horizontal portion of each engaging member. Each of the cams in engagement with the horizontal portion of the engaging members, is mounted on a shaft disposed perpendicular to that of the fixed shafts. A spring member is mounted on the fixed shaft and urges the egg engaging member toward the open position. An actuating bar is fixed to and extends from the mounting shaft in order to rotate the cams into and out of engagement with the horizontally disposed upper portion of the egg engaging members thereby controlling their closing and opening movement.
