DEFINITION

Classification: 356/55

(under subclass 52) Subject matter wherein transporting or conveying means is combined with a visual candling device to move eggs in a predetermined or random manner from one location into, through, or over the visual candling device and beyond the candling device to a second location by the same or a second transfer means.

(1) Note. The first location may include dispensing means and the second location may include an egg holding container such as a portable receptacle where no provision is made for this combination in another class.

(2) Note. Egg supply and/or conveying structure may be included to bring eggs to the candling apparatus and receiving apparatus; and additional conveying structure may also be claimed with the candling apparatus where there is no provision for the combination in another class.

(3) Note. The transfer means may be gravity and motorized conveyors including those of the endless belt and disc type.

(4) Note. Subcombinations of a photoelectric candling apparatus will be found here when there is no photoelectric circuitry claimed.

(5) Note. Inverting structure which merely inverts an egg or a group of eggs is not considered to be a transfer apparatus for this group of subclasses unless there is additionally movement of the egg from one location to another. See subclasses 56 and 65 for egg turning or jarring structure.
