Abstract:
This invention relates to an apparatus for receiving and transporting a stream of eggs, comprising, —a conveyor for transporting eggs in a transport direction T, —a releasing device connected with the conveyor, for releasing predetermined eggs away from the conveyor, separately, downwardly out of the stream, —a guide for receiving and taking over such an egg from the releasing device and guiding it to an egg processing apparatus, and —two driven star wheels placed substantially close to each other, with shafts perpendicular to T, and with opposite directions of rotation of the shafts, while upon rotation their blades along a part of the rotation path are placed over each other and transport the eggs substantially cupwise downwardly. In a suitable manner, with this apparatus, for example intact but dirty eggs can be released from a sorting stream and be received for further handling or processing.

Claim (Index 17):
Apparatus for receiving and transporting a stream of eggs, comprising,\n a roller conveyor, configured for transporting eggs in a transport direction T, a rotating drum, configured for receiving the eggs from the roller conveyor, wherein the drum has grippers for taking up the eggs E from the roller conveyor and for releasing dirty intact eggs downwardly; two driven star wheels, arranged for receiving the dirty intact eggs from the releasing device, wherein the star wheels are placed substantially close to each other, with parallel shafts perpendicular to the transport direction T, and with the direction of rotation of the shafts being opposite to each other, while upon rotation their blades along a part of the rotation path are placed over each other and transport the eggs, received from the releasing device, substantially cupwise downwardly
