  • Patent number: 9968074
    Abstract: A device for reorientation of eggs deposited in the hollow open cells of a tray. The device is intended to reorientate at least one egg from said tray along a substantially vertical axis. The device includes at least one reorientation element capable of moving between a low position and a high position with respect to the cell containing the egg to be reorientated. The reorientation element includes a lower seat on which the upright rods are fixed, the upper ends of said rods being able to spread out with respect to each other on contact with the egg to be re-orientated, the upright rods being intended to interpose themselves between the cell and the egg, in the high position, so as to damp and guide a movement of the egg under the effect of its weight to a substantially vertical position.

  • Patent number: 9869361
    Abstract: An impact absorbing structure includes a lower cover, an upper cover, a first air bag, a second air bag, a communicating channel, and a buffering component. The upper cover covers the lower cover. The first air bag and the second air bag are disposed between the lower cover and the upper cover. The communicating channel is installed between the first air bag and the second air bag for communicating the first air bag and the second air bag. The buffering component is installed in the communicating channel. When the impact absorbing structure is forced by a force to compress the first air bag, an air inside the first air bag is driven to flow into the second air bag through the communicating channel, and the buffering component reduces a flowing rate of the air, which provides an enhanced buffering effect for absorbing an impact of the force.

  • Patent number: 4013170
    Abstract: A shipping container of molded plastic in whose cavity a load is suspended between sets of three rubber straps diverging from the load toward respective rigid base members on the shell in angularly offset planes, the central strap of each set being less resilient than the two other straps. The straps impede transmission of mechanical shock from the shell to load, and their different resiliencies prevent build-up of load oscillations. The shell protects the load against harmful effects of the atmosphere.
