<p>Provided is an egg attitude changing structure which can transfer for sure an egg to an egg box wherein the egg is transferred from a transfer unit in a state wherein a long axis of the egg faces a first direction, the attitude of the egg is changed such that the long axis of the egg faces a perpendicular direction, and the egg is then transferred to the egg box panel. The egg attitude changing structure includes: two guides extending from the transfer unit in at least a second horizontal direction away from a first horizontal direction at an interval in order to transfer and guide the egg from the transfer unit; and a deceleration unit to decelerate the speed of the egg guided by the guides. The first guide supports an acute end of the egg, and the second guide supports an obtuse end of the egg. The first and second guides are configured such that one guide is extended longer than the other guide. As the egg reaches a termination end of the other guide and is then spaced apart from the other guide; the attitude of the egg is changed around one guide, and is dropped toward the egg box panel.</p> |
