Latch release system for poultry carriers

摘要

A latch release force is applied by a signal-controlled plunger on one side of a carrier body through a force transfer lever to a latch element slidably mounted on the other side of the carrier body which pivotally supports a hook held in a latched position by the latch element. The latch element is thereby displaced upwardly to release the hook for downward pivotal displacement and load drop off in response to downward displacement of the plunger producing a tilting moment on the body in the same angular direction as hook displacement.
