ABSTRACT:
A machine for packaging eggs of the type having an egg orienting and aligning device for arranging the eggs, supplied at random by a conveyor, in successive cross rows of a predetermined number, an orienting device for orienting the eggs in each cross row with their blunt ends directed in the direction of forward movement with the longitudinal axes of the eggs equally spaced in each row at a first distance, and a transfer device for transferring the successive cross rows of the eggs so oriented to successive corresponding cross rows of the egg holding recesses of egg trays or the like, the centers of these recesses being spaced at a second smaller lateral distance. The invention provides such a transfer device having a horizontally extending cross row of cup-shaped egg holders slidably supported on a common shaft which is reciprocatingly rotated between an egg receiving position to receive a row of eggs from the transfer device and an egg discharging position to drop the eggs so received into a row of recesses of an egg tray during which rotation the egg holders are laterally moved on the shaft from the receiving position spaced at said first distance to a discharging position spaced at said smaller second distance.
