METHOD AND DEVICE FOR FIXATION OF THE NOSE END OF A PELT TO THE NOSE END ON A DISTENSION ELEMENT OR A PELT BOARD

摘要

In the production of pelts (6), during the skinning of furred animals there often occur damages in the lip area/jaw part (12) due to faulty cutting. The consequence of said damages is that the stretching of these pelts (6) is rendered more difficult, in that a cut-through lip in the nose part of the pelt often results in the pelt sliding off the pelt board/distention element (10) on which the pelt (6) is stretched and fixed during drying. Said damages of the lip areas of the pelt thus cost a great deal of time and money for the producers of the pelts. There is thus disclosed a method and a help arrangement for relieving the above-mentioned problems, which is characterised by the mounting and the pressing of a help arrangement consisting of a hood-like element (18) down over the nose end (4) of a pelt (6) mounted on a distension element/pelt board (10), so that over relevant parts of the nose end the pelt (6) is clamped firmly between the outer side (16) of the distension element/pelt board (10) and the inner side (24, 24’) of the hood-like element. The invention also discloses the help arrangement (2).
