Abstract
An egg package assembly includes a protective case that contains predetermined number of eggs and a sleeve that fixedly surrounds the protective case. The protective case comprises a base and a lid. The sleeve comprises a thin packing film that is shrunk by heat. The sleeve is provided having a length similar to that of the case and a width wider than that of the case. After heat shrinking, the sleeve conforms to the shape of the case and fixed to the case. The length of the sleeve shrinks and allows the ends of the case to be exposed.

FIG. 3 shows that thesleeve 14 is held by thesleeve control jig 16. Thesleeve dispenser 12 dispenses thesleeve 14 in vertical direction, and thesleeve control jig 16 rotates thesleeve 14 into horizontal direction before the egg package inserter 22 inserts theegg package 20 into thesleeve 14 as shown inFIGS. 4 , 5 and 6. The egg package inserter 22 inserts theegg package 20 into thesleeve 14 horizontally. When theegg package 20 is inserted into thesleeve 14, product verification is performed to check proper matching of the sleeve and the egg package. - The
sleeve control jig 16 comprises afirst arm 28 and asecond arm 30 that is provided opposite to thefirst arm 28. Thesleeve 14 is held between thefirst arm 28 and thesecond arm 30 with vacuum applied on thefirst arm 28 and thesecond arm 30. Thefirst arm 28 and thesecond arm 30 are rotatable and retractable. - The sleeve control jig 16 positions the
sleeve 14 to a predetermined position. A stepping motor is used to feed the sleeve. When an eye mark is read by a sensor, the stepping motor stops to cut and feed the sleeve. -
