  • Patent number: 4791704
    Abstract: An arrangement for transferring poultry carcasses such as the carcasses of birds being chickens, ducks, turkeys and the like, from one position to another may be used to transfer the poultry carcasses from a killing conveyor to an eviscerating conveyor, for example. The arrangement can, however, be used to transfer poultry carcasses from any one conveyor to another conveyor. The arrangement includes a rotatably mounted plate and associated structure for imparting a rotational moment thereto. A plurality of sector members are pivotally mounted on or connected to the plate at a position offset or spaced apart from the rotational mounting of the plate. The rotational moment of the plate can be imparted to the sector members. Members are provided to limit or control the pivotal movement of the sector members relative to each other and to the pivotal attachment point.
