e. R ANDREWS EGG CARRIER.
APPLICATION FILED MAR I7. E916.
Patented Nov. 7, 1916.
a are EGG-CARRIER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. '7, 1916.
Application filed March 17, 1916. Serial No. 84,966.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE R. ANDREWS, a citizen of the United States, residing at East Saginaw, in the county of Saginaw and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Egg-Carriers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention comprehends the provision of a carrier especially designed for the transportation of eggs, and wherein the eggs are yieldably supported to prevent breakage or injury to the same should the carrier be subjected to rough usage.
The nature and advantages of the inven tion will be better understood from the following description when read in connection with the accompanying drawings, the invention residing in the construction and arrangement of parts as claimed.
In the drawing forming part of this specification like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views and wherein Figure 1 is a perspective view of the receptacle with the cover removed. Fig. 2 is a sectional view through the receptacle with the cover associated therewith.
Before entering into a detail description of what is herein shown I desire to have it understood that I do not limit myself to this exact construction and arrangement, and that various changes may be resorted to when desired as fall within the scope of what is claimed.
As shown in this particular instance the carrier consists of a receptacle indicated at 5 which may be constructed from any suitable material preferably metal, and provided with a cover 6. Arranged within the receptacle and rising from the bottom thereof is a plurality of hollow cylindrical members 7 defining cells for the reception of the eggs, it of course being understood that the eggs are individually supported within the cells, and are consequently maintained in spaced relation to each other. The cylindrical members 7 terminate an appreciable distance below the upper edge of the receptacle, and arranged within each member is a disk 8 having a centrally depressed portion conforming to the curvature of the end of the egg which it is adapted to support.
These disks are yieldably supported in'the cylindrical members by the coil springs 9, the latter having one end fixed to the bottom of the receptacle and their opposite ends secured to the under side of the disks, and through the medium of the springs the disks normally lie flush with the upper edge of the cylindrical members.
Projecting from the under side of the cover 6 is a plurality of cylindrical members 10, equal in number to the number of members 7 within the receptacle and adapted to be disposed in alinement with the members 7 when the cover is positioned upon the receptacle. Fitted within each of the cylindrical members 10 is a disk 11 of a construction similar to the disks 9, and yieldably supported through the medium of a spring 12 having one end secured to the under side of the cover, and its opposite end associated with the adjacent face of the disk, the springs normally maintaining the disks flush with the open end of the cylindrical members.
In practice the'eggs are initially fitted one within each of the cylindrical members 7 the eggs being supported endwise in the depressed portions of the disks 9. The cover is then associated with the receptacle, and by reason of the specific disposition of the cylindrical members 10, it is obvious that during the application of the cover the adjacent ends of the eggs are received within the cylindrical members, and wherein the disks 11 provide a bearing therefor. Manifestly a portion of the egg is positioned within the cylindrical members 7, while the remaining portion thereof is received within the cylindrical members 10, being yieldably supported from both ends in spaced relation to both the bottom of the receptacle and the cover 6. This arrangement and manner of nesting the eggs fully protect the latter from being cracked or broken by coming in contact with each other or with the walls of the receptacle, or in any other manner should the receptacle be subjected to rough usage. It might here be stated that the receptacle may be of any design, and vary in size to accommodate any number of eggs without departing from the spirit of the invention.
What is claimed is An egg carrier comprising a receptacle ed disks arranged within the cells and each having a plurality of cells therein, a cover having a centrally depressed portion. 1 having a similar number of cells project- In testimony whereof I aflix my signature ing from One side thereof and adapted to in presence'of two witnesses.
5 be positioned within the receptacle in a1ine- GEORGE R. ANDREWS.
ment with the first mentioned cells to par- Witnesses: tially receive the eggs supported within the JNo. J. SPENCER, first mentioned cells, and yieldably support- G. H. ROEDEL.
