<p>944,551. Poultry houses; collecting eggs. J. KUHLMANN. Oct. 1, 1962 [Oct. 7, 1961; Feb. 6, 1962], No. 37054/62. Heading A1M. Eggs are collected from nest boxes 10 by means of a conveyer belt 5 which is made of wire mesh and forms the floor of the boxes, litter being placed on the belt at A to provide nests and the belt being moved intermittently so that the eggs are conveyed to a collecting point B. The part 8 of the belt is left free of nest boxes and the litter falls through the wire mesh into a container 9 from which it may be returned to the point A e.g. by a screw conveyer provided with drying units. The belt 5 may also be formed of rubber or synthetic resin in which case a suction device is arranged above the part 8 of the belt to remove the litter and return it to the point A. Means for vibrating the part 8 of the belt may also be provided.</p> |
