Abstract
A bird transfer carrousel is provided for transferring birds between two conveyor lines wherein the shackles of one conveyor line are spaced at a different increment than the shackles of the other conveyor line. The bird transfer carrousel comprises a rotatable, cylindrical turret (22) positioned between the two conveyor lines. The turret carries a series of parallel travel bars (26) that are arranged angularly displaced around the turret and are adapted to reciprocate or slide within the turret. Bird transfer plates (32) are mounted at each end of the parallel travel bars (26). The bird transfer plates (32) are horizontally arranged in a common plane, and each comprises a pair of outwardly exposed recesses for receiving and carrying the birds from the first conveyor line (12) to the second conveyor line (14). A cam system (30,38) reciprocates the travel bars toward and away from their axis of rotation, which moves the bird transfer plates (32) closer together and further apart to match the spacing of the two conveyor lines.
