DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING OF EGGS, SUCH AS VACCINATION OR A VACUUM SUCTION OR GRABBER BASED PICK UP

摘要

The invention relates to a device, assembled to subject at least one egg, said egg normally having a longitudinal direction between a blunt end and a pointed end, to a processing in a predetermined orientation of the longitudinal direction of the egg, such as injection or vaccination, candling or vacuum or grabber based pick-up, wherein the device comprises: a processing station arranged to subject the egg to the processing; a holder arranged to hold the egg in said predetermined orientation for the processing station to subject the egg to the processing, wherein the holder comprises: a support, arranged to engage one of said two ends of the egg; and a cylindrical accommodation comprising at least two arms extending from the support in use in the longitudinal direction of the egg to engage the egg at a distance from the support, characterised in that the arms are flexible and curved in correspondence with the circumferential shape of the egg and in use yield to align the egg when the arms move over the egg to be engaged by the support.

1. A device, assembled to subject at least one egg, said egg normally having a longitudinal direction between a blunt end and a pointed end, to a processing in a predetermined orientation of the longitudinal direction of the egg, such as injection or vaccination, candling or vacuum or grabber based pick-up, wherein the device comprises:
a processing station (11-13) arranged to subject the egg to the processing; a holder (5) arranged to hold the egg in said predetermined orientation for the processing station (11-13) to subject the egg to the processing, wherein the holder (5) comprises:
a support (7), arranged to engage one of said two ends of the egg; anda cylindrical accommodation, defined by at least two arms (8), which are connected to and extend from the support (7) in use in the longitudinal direction of the egg to engage the egg at a distance from the support,characterised in thatthe arms (8) are flexible and curved in correspondence with the circumferential shape of the egg and in use yield to align the egg when the arms (8) move over the egg to be engaged by the support (7).
