NECK LOCATING STRUCTURE FOR POULTRY PROCESSING APPARATUS

Title:

NECK LOCATING STRUCTURE FOR POULTRY PROCESSING APPARATUS

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO1999025200

Kind Code:

A9

Abstract:

The holding fixture has a narrow neck fork (30) designed to fit entirely inside of and between the shoulder joints of the carcass so as to utilize the inside surfaces of the shoulder joints as a means of centering the carcass and precluding side-to-side movement thereof. Each arm (32 and 34) of the fork (30) is narrow enough to fit entirely between the neck and the corresponding shoulder joint. A modified fixture for use with a crop-inclusive eviscerator has a resilient projection (162) on the backrest (124) between the arms of the fork to yieldably push the backbone at the base of the neck out away from the backrest (124) to facilitate snagging of the esophagus by a hook-shaped dislodging tool utilized as part of the eviscerator.
