  • This cylinder is controlled by means of an adjustable arranged foremost steer 88 being adapted partly to register that the front end of the bone - to be scraped free from meat - just is moved through the scraper opening 84, and partly to activate said pneumatic cylinder for closing the scraping plate members 82 close together around the tube part of the bone, so that the meat is scraped free from the bone, when it - as described earlier - is pressed through the scraper device 80.
  • the pneumatic cylinder When the opposite thick end of the bone approaches the scraper device 80, that is when the front end part of the activation rod 20 is placed just behind the scraper device 80, the pneumatic cylinder is activated for opening the scraper opening 84, so that the bone may be moved entirely through the scraper device 80.
  • the length of the middle tube part of the bone may vary rather much, while the length of the thick end parts in practice only vary very little. Therefore, the opening of the scraper device 80 may in practice be controlled by the placement of the front end of the activation rod 20 - possible effected of that a stop member on the displacement part of the apparatus hitting a steer being adapted to activate the pneumatic cylinder for opening the scraper opening 84.

Abstract

Procédé et appareil (2) permettant de désosser des morceaux de viande, par exemple des cuisses ou des pilons de poulet, et plus précisément de désosser des extrémités d'animaux abattus. La chair est détachée de l'os à l'aide d'un dispositif racloir (8) doté de dispositifs de raclage mutuellement réglables. Ou bien l'os est déplacé entre les dispositifs de raclage (64) d'un dispositif racloir (8) stationnaire, ou bien un dispositif racloir (8) mobile est déplacé autur de l'os. Le réglage des dispositifs de raclage (64) est commandé de telle manière que lesdits dispositifs de raclage (64) forment une couverture de raclage de taille et de coupe transversale variables correspondant au contour externe de l'os à mesure que ce dernier est déplacé à travers l'ouverture de raclage (22) ou vice versa.
