Single station anatomical section de-boning machine

Abstract

A single station anatomical section de-boning machine, operable by one individual, which machine is comprised of a compound multiple-acting piston driven longitudinal cam activated to cycle and operate adjustably pre-set micro-switches upon manual oriented operator insertion of an elongated anatomical section into the operational head de-boning assembly depressably against a machine plunger trigger thereof, wherein the anatomical section for deboning processing is characterized by having a centrally-extending meat-encased bone member with joint protuberances at either longitudinal end thereof, to thereupon mechanically accomplish by high-speed sequential cycling of the compound multiple-acting piston driven longitudinal cam cooperatively with the pre-set micro-switches in the functioning of a cooperative toggle-acting gripper blade to closably engage and hold the anatomical section for pivotal closing immediately thereafter of shaped cooperative meat cutting and stripping blades to initiate and accomplish primary inverse peeling of the bone encasing meat therefrom followed by pivotal closing of other shaped cooperative peeling blades to accommodate completion of meat peeling about the smaller of the bone end protuberances whereafter a set of scissor-acting tendon severing blades operate to positively cut any remaining tendon connecting tissue from the peeled meat and the stripped bone, followed by pivotal opening of the other shaped cooperative peeling blades to release therefrom for deposit to a suitable container the removed meat and also at the same time an opening of the cooperative toggle-acting gripper blade to simultaneously therewith release the stripped bone therefrom for deposit to another container, thereafter followed by automatic recycling of the operational head de-boning assembly for continued manually initiated de-boning processing operations.
