1512564 Skinning and slashing meat cuts TOWNSEND ENG CO 7 April 1975 [24 April 1974] 51727/77 Divided out of 1512563 Heading A2U A machine for skinning meat cuts and slashing them across their entire width to expose any underlying abscesses comprises a feed conveyor 22, a skinning cutter mechanism 12 adjacent the conveyor, a slashing mechanism 14 comprising a plurality of disc knives; a shield 18 for the slashing mechanism and means (not shown) for powering the skinning and slashing mechanisms. In the embodiment shown the slashing mechanism 14 is mounted on arms 32 and 34 which are pivoted about their lower ends so that the mechanism can be raised-Fig. 6-for cleaning and repair. Switch mechanism 40 automatically switches the power off when the arms are raised. The skinning mechanism 12 is also guarded by shield 20 and safety bar 98, displacement of which also automatically cuts off the power supply.
