  • Hatching egg inspection apparatus with vibration isolation
    Patent number: 9494565
    Abstract: A hatching egg inspection apparatus includes: a plurality of light emitter, the light emitter being disposed two dimensionally at prescribed positions; light receiver, which are provided in a one-to-one relationship with the light emitter and each of which receives light from the corresponding light emitter; and an egg container, which is for arraying in advance a hatching egg between each of the light emitter and the light receiver corresponding thereto. Each hatching egg is inspected by the corresponding light receiver that receives, among the lights from all the light emitter, transmitted light that transmitted through the interior of the hatching egg. When one light emitter of the plurality of light emitter is emitting light, other of the light emitter within a prescribed range centered on the one light emitter do not emit light.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: November 15, 2016
    Assignee: NABEL Co., Ltd.
    Inventors: Kunio Nambu, Kenji Yasuda, Toyoaki Ohashi, Hiroshige Iguchi
