<p>Egg conveyor for collecting and conveying eggs, transferred from cages, without breaking them. In the present invention, an egg collecting rack is suspended from an endless belt in such a manner as to be rocking freely and a receiving portion of the egg collecting rack receives the eggs on a support portion while a discharge portion discharge them. To this end, each of the receiving portion, support portion and discharge portion of the egg collecting rack has a comb-like shape. Since the egg collecting rack can rock freely, the egg collecting rack can transfer the eggs horizontally so that the eggs are not broken and cracks do not occur, either. A scraper member is disposed in order to easily send the eggs to an egg collecting table at the discharge position of the egg collecting rack. Furthermore, a stopper mechanism operates so as to stop the operation of the endless belt if any foreign matters exist at the discharged position and the egg cannot be discharged from the egg collecting rack.</p> |
