Meat gristle puller

摘要

An apparatus is provided for pulling gristle such as tendons from cuts of meat by mechanically holding down an extending portion of the gristle as the cut of meat traverses a path that intersects the location of a wedging jaw that prevents continued traversal of the meat along the path while permitting continued movement of the gristle along the path until it is stripped from the meat. In an optional embodiment, the jaw is a mechanical one that closes to form the wedging jaw that strips the gristle from the meat, after which the jaw opens to release gristle therefrom that otherwise might have been undesirably retained therein.
