APPARATUS FOR REMOVING GONTENTSOF EGGCASES.
Application led December 22, 1926. Serial Noa 156,298.
This invention relates to certain apparatus designed to facilitate theremoval of eggs from a case, the object being to do this in a more speedy. and satisfactory manner, yand with means whichis simple and `inexpensive to produce ,and operate.
An exemplicationof this invention is set n forth in the accompanying drawing in the manner following:
Figure l is a view in perspective showingv a two compartment egg case with the removing apparatus fitted intoY one compartment, andwith a second apparatus ready for insertion in the other compartment thereof;
Fig. 2 -is a plan view of the apparatus for one case compartment;
Fig. 3 which is an end elevation thereof shows the apparatus inverted together with the contents of the case; and
Fig. i which is a 'View similar to Fig. 2 shows a modification of the device.
A standard two compartment egg case is shown in Fig. l, the same comprising sides 5 and ends 6 together with a vertical partition 7 parallel with the ends. As the present improvements are concerned with apparatus which is duplicated for each compartment, the description to follow will be directed toward a case generally without regard to the number of compartments therein.
llVithin the case is ycontained a quantity of eggs arranged in layers within superposed fil ers 8 having intervening horizontal separators 9. If the egg case cover be removed, as indicated in Fig. l, the operation of removing eggs requires that the topmost layer be first taken olf after whichl the .succeeding Fig. l, a substantially complete closurev therefor is provided.` The legs are desirably formed' of sheet metal having a suitable strength, and so spaced as to occupy positions adjacent two contiguous corners of the n case.y With two such plates, each mounting two legs, all four corners of the casek are Vof two.
occupied when the apparatus is positioned operatively in place.
In applying the device to the case, the sevyerallegs are slid between the vertical walls of the case and the separators therein, until thev two plates l0 are substantially'ush with ythe top of the case, as'shown at the right end of Fig. l. l/Vhen the two leg unit-s have been sok applied, the entire'case is inverted, as shown in Fig'. 3,.permitting the'leg units to'he laterally withdrawn. The unitshown to the left of F ig. 3 is in process of removal, while the other unit is shown as in the position when the case is first inverted and then lifted up and away from the eggs In this View the plate l0 is of a size approxif' mately one-fourth the exposed top side of thecase and carries but a single angled leOV 7 c n. C Ihe only dinerence between this cony ll. struction' and the one already described is that, instead of two leg units, four of the hind shown in Fig. 4 are required for insertion in the case. In other words, each plate has associated with it but a single leg instead In all other respects, however, the constructionv and operation of the removing apparatus is the same.
I claim:
l. In combination with a rectangular case having an open top with a vertical stack of egg fillers and separators therewithin, angled legs insertable within vthe case. one of said legs adjacent each corner thereof to the outside of' the fillers and separators therewithin, and plate means connecting the legs and overlying the open top of the case, the case when inverted being removably vertically along the legs without touching the `separa-- tors and fillers which rest upon the plate means, t-he legs and plate means being theref after movable laterally to leave the separators land fillers exposed on all sides, substantially as described.V
2. In combination with a rectangular case open at the top for receiving therewithin a vertical stack of fillers-and separators, a leg unit comprising a plate which overlies a portion ot the open case top and a depending angled leg Which tits into a corner of the case to the outside of the fillers and separators therewithin, there being a similar unit tor another of the case corners, the case, upon inversion, being slidable vertically from oft the leg units following which the leg units are slidable laterally from the stack of fillers and separators, substantially as described.
3. lfn combination with a rectangular case having an open top tor receiving therewithin a vertical stack of fillers and separators, means insertable into each corner of the case to the outside of the fillers and separators therewithin and extending in part over the open top ot the case,x the case upon inversion being slidable vertically from 0E said means which latter is then slidable laterally avvay from the stack of Afillers and separators, substantially as described.
4. In combination with a rectangular case having a compartment With an open top for receiving therewithin a vertical stack of separators and lillers, a pair of plates overlying a portion of the top, and each extending substantially the dist-ance of one side of th-e compartment, a pair of angled legsv aliXed to each plate and spaced for insertionV Within the compartment adjacent tvvo corners thereof and to the outside of the fillers and separators tlierewithin, the two leg units When so positioned removing the compartment sides from contact With the fillers and separators therewithimthe case, upon inversion, being removable vertically Without touching the lillers and separators leaving only the leg units adjacent thereto which latter are then removable laterally so as to vexpose all sides of the stack of fillers and separators,
substantially fas described.
