ABSTRACT:
An egg transfer device having an active rotator assembly and a passive rotator assembly pivoted about a common axis above a support table. An automatic clamping device associated with the active rotator assembly is in an unlocked or open position to allow the active rotator to be loaded with a tray of setter egg flats. A hatcher receiver tray in which the eggs from the setter egg flats are to be transferred is disposed on top of the egg flats and, as well, in the passive rotator once it is rotated into an operative position. The two rotator assemblies are then rotated together as a unit about their common axis 180 degrees to their opposite position on the table support. At the same time the automatic clamping assembly is automatically biased into its locked position, thus firmly gripping the tray of setter egg flats securely into the active rotator assembly as it is being rotated, and stays in its locked position until the active rotator assembly is swung back separately to its original position on the table, at which time the clamping assembly is automatically unlocked.
