摘要

A device for removing meat hangers from meat and a hanger storage stand are provided by this invention. The device for removing meat hangers comprises a frame having a stripping station, a first support on one side of the stripping station for supporting a hanger and a second support on the other side of the stripping station supporting a body of meat and a stripper plate mounted for movement with respect to the frame to extend into the stripping station between the first and second support as to engage the meat hanger and drive the needles out of the meat. The support stand includes guide rods for receiving hangers and guiding them to fall onto a base member which is angularly inclined with respect to the guide rods at an angle equal to half the included angle between the main body and the needles so that the hangers nest one within the other to form a compact stack of hangers.
